Mariadb got bought by a private equity strip miner company late 2024, so it will probably be mined for every enshittification possible before thrown on the garbage heap like every company private equity has acquired before it.
(It always takes a few years of inefficient planning before private equity starts rolling out enshittification)
“Here in Denmark, we want homegrown European corporate-driven mass surveillance of all civilians.”
Glances at ChatControl
AI as in the ubiquitous multicultural definition that had been used by corporations worldwide for multiple years.
It is a disingenuous use of ‘AI’ for the reasons you give, but it is virtually the only colloquial use of the acronym in worldwide culture. It is very clear what it means, especially in the context of a search engine company asking it.
Kvaesitso is my favorite so far after using KISS for years. Simple, but very polished! I like the clean home screen with favorite bar and searching with a few taps, or scrolling the full app page.
Cheese and cold cuts (maybe besides chicken/turkey cuts, but especially anything salami or sausage related) I would argue are not healthy. Better than the worst of the worst like ice cream, desserts, and candy, but it is just saturated fan + saturated fat + a small amount of protein, zero fiber, and not many vitamins or minerals.
Very tasty, and fine to snack on in small amounts, but literally any edible plant, nut, fruit, yogurt, legume, or even things like granola or protein bars have much more nutritional content.
Well, no because this means all the people with some form of independent thought and morals will be gone and only psychopaths and sociopaths will be left, who are the actual trash.
4 liters of water per day is completely fine if you are not absolutely sedentary in a cool climate.
(The following is for a healthy male, who requires the most generally)
Average adult in a temperate climate needs 3.7L according to mayo clinic
harvard says a minimum of 3.1L per day
Most people are pretty dehydrated in general. Your piss isn’t supposed to be bright yellow.
BBC summarized some journal papers that said that most adults are 1-2% dehydrated. Human thirst mechanisms also degrade as we age, not to mention “nurture” factors like people not drinking enough water when they are young, so their thirst mechanisms are already skewed towards too little water. Also hunger and thirst mechanisms are tied together so dehydrated people may overeat more as their body tries to get more water through food (also contributing to the huge rise in obesity)
There are a variety of unpleasant problems that come from drinking too little water, drinking too much water (within reason, not 12L per day) has the side effects of good kidneys and pissing more often…
Of course, a 140cm person won’t need 4 liters, but a 2m tall person who goes to the gym may need 5+.
On the bright side, this change has been around for 9 months at least because they had already changed it when I was doing IT stuff at my last job and it was impossible to find where to actually download the office suite.
They don’t even prosecute foreign war criminals, much less their own. US Nuremberg trails had a <0.2% conviction rate for identified war criminals lol. Less than 1% of “major war criminals”.
Criminal cops are paid instead of convicted.
There is 0 hope for any justice at all for these people unless the entire US government gets overthrown or something just as drastic.
Or Hikvision for very similar cameras at an actually affordable price (but you HAVE to block then from the internet and/or put them on an isolated VLAN because they send everything back home).
Reolink also makes gold budget cameras, especially their doorbell camera.
For some things.
For many things it isn’t. It is usable (I use it) but with a bunch of workarounds for anything embedded development-related since it needs specific vendor software with device access. I have had to use a variety of distrobox + app image solutions that are often a bit worse than a system that installs them as native apps.
Since 1981 the large decline began. Like 80% of bad policies and shitting on the working class in america can be traced back to the 80s… I wonder what happened then.
Kamala would just have been a party line corporate puppet like Obama 2.0. But undoubtedly 100x better than trump.
It’s funny because
Israel has been funding Hamas (Bibi himself has spoken multiple times about it) for many years, giving them the equipment to do October 7th.
Israel activated the hannibal directive according to their own (now former) defense minister on a live TV interview which means that on October 7th, many many many of the civilians and IDF soldiers that died were deliberately killed by the IDF themselves.
It takes 45 minutes to fly from end to end by helicopter. Many Israeli official has refused to deny that there was a stand down order, but the army was not deployed at all until hours and hour and hours later, when they could have driven with tanks there and back again multiple times, with an army of 165,000 in a country the size of new jersey, outnumbering them 28:1 with 100x the equipment on home turf (by Israels massively inflated numbers too)
Some of the Israeli hostages were not tortured in prison with Hama’s by their own tongues, but were then raped when she got back to Israel. Meanwhile Palestinian hostages are tortured daily for decades, eyes gouged out, as well as gang raped and raped by trained rottweilers by Israeli forces, and civilian Israeli doctors don’t report on it, but instead enable it.
As far as anyone should be concerned. Israel funded, executed their own attack of their own civilians, and enabled it by standing down as well as treated their own civilian hostages they took (and continue taking) 10x worse.
And by “tending to last longer” it is good to note that it almost always lasts 5x-10x longer, as in you only need to charge it once a month instead of every few days with medium reading, depending on backlight usage.
When I only read a few pages a day because of my schedule, my battery lasts over 6 months easily. Meanwhile my unused iPad has to be charged every week or so even if it is used 0 minutes.
Yep, me too, but my Sony xperia 5ii has a few issues like no fingerprint reader and a battery that only lasts 3/4 of a day with light use, plus no updates for the past 3 years…
Might have to go fairphone soon
I am a bit ignorant about fedora security, but doesn’t pretty much everyone run Pipewire now and not pulseaudio?
But that is the best part of user software development.
Developing [a game] is pretty much free, so if you make any money out of it at all is just a bonus.
Most physical hobbies cost money where if you make some money from it it likely won’t even start breaking even, you are often 1-10k€ in the hole before you even start selling anything.
The USB control is a good point because for example my Xperia 5ii defaults the port control to full data connection
Not only that, Sony will, after you disable port data transfer, will silently re-enable it after a time.
In the dystopia of outer-worlds-esque orwellien-surveillance corporate feudalism it looks like they will have to endure, I think we can afford to lighten up on them 😂
That is simply not true.
Here in the EU we have chat control trying to be forced through every year for mass surveillance and targeting like Spain targeting catalan independence movements.
Palantir is starting to expand into the EU and american fash-tech companies have been lobbying hard and giving money to fascist parties across the EU. Musk gave unprescidented money of AfD fascists, for example.
UK has been getting more and more fascist for years, they have had mass surveillance for years and have been arresting people for simply attending zoom meetings supporting a country being killed off en-masse. Palantir literally just landed a £240 million deal with the UK government
We don’t have an ICE problem yet. Neither did america 10 years ago. It is being pushed HARD here to create an ICE problem.
