Hello thanks for visiting my profile.
For any picture posts I make with the [OC] tag, I provide a license for you to use my photo under the terms of CC-BY-SA-4.0. You may DM me for questions.
I do think the EU should start with a more basic app like FluffyChat in testing but rebranded, then try to make their own app over the Matrix protocol that fits their specific communications needs and share that development publicly with open source.
Basically ICE’s digital colour pantone. It sure does make their job at being racist easier.
It’s not any more sus than running any FOSS project binaries obtained from github. And OP wants to test a bunch of live environments, so that’s not really a security-critical environment.
I’d suggest it’s collective laziness over any even potentially malicious intent. The author listed about the 180 blobs they are aware of, the vast majority from FOSS projects.
Filters exist in Piefed so I hear, and you can already block instances and communities and users you feel are too American focused.
Anyway…
Edit: Don’t hesitate or wait for my validation, live life the way you want, with as much or as little modern tech in it as you please.
Have you found ways to reconnect with technology?
My rule is that I interact with technology on my own terms and volition. I get upset if I get led or ‘tricked’ into an app or consuming some form of media. I access tech when I want to and am looking for something, and try to reject the idea that content should come to me in a steady stream. If I am watching brainrot it will be because I want to click and scroll through brainrot videos, not because it was the next one to play after the video I actually wanted to watch.
If you want bliss at this endless beach, build your own little FOSS sandcastle. If it washes away, build it somewhere else, and find other people that like to build FOSS sandcastles.
If it’s not topic specific, try this one?
I get it, even with link posts and memes sometimes I’m not sure if I’m posting it in the right places, or if I have to trade off potential traction with how closely related it is.
A solution I’ve employed sometimes is to post to two spots:
That way you don’t feel forced to only participate in the popular instances and communities.
E.g. !boardgames@sopuli.xyz then !games@lemmy.world
E.g.2: !vancouver@lemmy.ca then !canada@lemmy.ca
E.g.3: !rant@lemmy.sdf.org then !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
I 'member when headphones were just a copper wire to a magnet dressed in plastic, and none of this garbage required memory. Can we go back to that age? Thanks.
The single banana turned into a box of bananas! Excellent!
Slo-pilot or Slop-a-lot works for me.
Nadella, go ahead, keep trying to meet your slop metrics and slop KPIs. You’re doing a great job moving people to Linux.
As soon as I read his trademark word I knew it was Doctorow, awesome! I’ll give this a full listen sometime later.
That’s where I think Bazzite really shines… I didn’t need the terminal to setup all of the normal stuff at all, and new apps I discovered right from the start menu so I didn’t need to go far at all.
How about construction vehicles with a cute little indication of their status… some suggestions:
“tired” becomes a little tornado cloud coming out from the bubble.
Idle is zzzs coming from the bubble
You could use these kinds of marks, as inspiration.
Bazzite is great out of the box. My favourite part is that the menu automatically suggests flatpak apps you might want to install without getting in the way of your existing apps.
No matter the distro (since there’s plenty of good ones out there), help your friend set up Winboat and you’ll be all good.
This literally happened for me with the movie(s) Wicked. I didn’t watch the first part just to have it end half way through the story and be told to wait until next year. Then the second half comes out, and after the opening weekend where a couple downtown theatres had busy double feature special events, Part 1 was playing in theatres literally nowhere in my city. And no way I’m signing my life away for Bezos BS just to watch this. (Does a stream even earn the movie studio anything significant? The theatres get nothing…)
I only bought a ticket to watch Part 2 because I viewed Part 1 by other means. The theatres missed out on an opportunity for me to watch the first one in succession with the second. And if I didn’t watch the first, then I wouldn’t have watched it at all and the theatres and publishers would have missed out on a sale.
If the copyright industry calls missed sales “stealing”, the theatres and publishing licensors steal from themselves by making it difficult to view the full story.
Not bad but I’ll call it a “stopgap” rather than a solution.
Safe places for homeless people need to be offered more widely, secure parking lots could help others as well in the short term.
For debugging there is the Google antigravity method: there can’t be bugs if it wipes the whole drive containing your project (taps head)
I did see someone write a post about Chat Oriented Programming, to me that appeared successful, but not without cost and extra care. Original Link, Discussion Thread
Successful in that it wrote code faster and its output stuck to conventions better than the author would. But they had to watch it like a hawk and with the discipline of a senior developer putting full attention over a junior, stop and swear at it every time it ignored the rules that they give at the beginning of each session, terminate the session when it starts doing a autocompactification routine that wastes your money and makes Claude forget everything. And you try to dump what it has completed each time. One of the costs seem to be the sanity of the developer, so I really question if it’s a sustainable way of doing things from both the model side and from developers. To be actually successful you need to know what you’re doing otherwise it’s easy to fall in a trap like the CTO, trusting the AI’s assertions that everything is hunky-dory.
Oh perfect. That would be a good upstream base for other European govt projects.
