  • Labour aren't left wing.

  • It's funny because Russia is a very very right wing imperialist oligarchy. Everything they say they hate about the US, Russia also is. I have multiple friends that escaped there and they tell it as essentially 1900s Jim crow in America with respect to people of color, lgbtq, etc... Just because a country is against the US, doesn't mean it is perfectly good or bad.

    Russia is Trump for tankies. Regardless of any horrors they do, whatever lines they cross, whatever lies/propaganda they get caught telling, they can no wrong and they will defend every choice and action to their last breath. It is purely a cult of personality, but the personality being against the US.

    I get it too, I am not a fan of the US and try to buy everything possible European or Chinese, but I am not under any illusion that either EU countries or China have amazing, great governments or don't have massive racism problems, surveillance problems, have committed uncounted atrocities, or have a big weathy corrupt elites problems.

  • Trump’s Betrayal of Allies Has Sparked Unprecedented ‘Buy European’ Trend

    Jump

  • And yet literally the exact same trend is happening here all over Europe: education system decline (less students enrolled in secondary, number of schools declining, teacher:child ratios increasing, increased teachers quitting or burned out), huge increase in fascist and right wing support all over Europe, anti-science and anti-vax movements starting to pop up and grow, huge decrease in union memberships, especially among young people, and worker rights being slowly degraded.

    This is exactly how it started in America, and before people say "that is because of american culture and propaganda exports", that could very well be, but it doesn't change the fact that it is happening here and the same trend of people becoming more uneducated and dumber is happening. In 20 years we will be as dumb as america if the trend accelerates.

    Plus, with the rise of corpo-fascist movements in the EU, people are already stupid enough to vote squarely against their own interests to spite someone they hate.

  • Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day

    Jump

  • Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about it? Especially on/e/? I think you are the first user I have seen.

    Does android auto work, connect fast, and have all of your enabled apps on it? My girlfriend's maps app just doesn't work in android auto sometimes and the same with Antennapod for me and we have to reconnect. That is quite an important one.

    How is battery life with screen off? On my xperia 5ii it has always been terrible with 1.5% per hour (accubattery) on WiFi or 3% per hour on 4G...

    Does your microphone work well in calls, recording, and on speaker? I have seen a ton of bug reports for that.

    Have you run into the common "terrible haptics/vibration" thing that people are saying with it barely being noticeable or not noticable in your pocket? I have heard that and that the haptics are really really bad in general.

  • Work/commuting backpack, ideally not a US company

    Jump

  • Ortlieb is expensive as hell but extremely thick, waterproof (resistant?) fabric. I have just a bike bag Urban Roller Plus I think. It is a nice fabric texture instead of smooth dry-packish and it has a nice insert to organize everything and protect my laptop.

    My girlfriend has the Various which you can flip the cover over to switch between backpack and bike bag and it is awesome, but more expensive.

    Fjallraven is also good, but the strap padding wears out rather quickly. Every teenage girl in Belgium had a Fjallraven pack back when they were in style and every one has the strap pads completely flattened and useless lol.

    Dutch company Newlooxs has a couple bike and backpack switchers. The material is thin though and mine ripped open on a fall during my commute.

  • Here Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server

    Jump

  • I find it very confusing to get a good workflow with it + calibre.

    I sync all of my books (and use readarr for organization or occasionally grabbing books from dead authors) via syncthing. Then calibre web won't ingest any new books I copy to the folder, so I have to go to desktop calibre to add them manually, then it will sync the database and calibre-web has a built-in task for scanning any database changes so then the book will show up.

    Seems like a clunky method and I would think I am doing it wrong, but I haven't found a way for calibre to scan books already organized in folders in its book directory.

  • My girlfriend and I both need new phones from her failing and buggy Samsung A52 and my Xperia 5ii. We are not going Samsung anymore because they are putting unremovable Israeli spyware baked into their devices, fairphone 6 still seems very buggy and we had a friend with a fairphone 4 with 99 problems with it, and I don't want to give google money and we want SD card slots instead of almost no memory to force cloud subscriptions.

    2027 is starting to be a big ask though.

  • What's your laziest or most ridiculous automation?

    Jump

  • How did you measure the water going through? Did you hook up an in-line flow meter to the dishwasher? I would be interested to know if my Bosch dishwasher is the same way because I always use Eco.

  • Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'

    Jump

  • I would think that they will have to combat AI code with an AI code recognizer tool that auto-flags a PR or issue as AI, then they can simply run through and auto-close them. If the contributor doesn't come back and explain the code and show test results to show it working, then it is auto-closed after a week or so if nobody responds.

  • As Dem Voters Seek a 'Fight' With the Superrich, AOC is Now Their Favorite Candidate: Poll | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • Since Nuremberg had less than 0,02% conviction rate and was essentially a show trial kangaroo court and they promoted, supported, and hired the Nazis to government positions afterwards, I am hoping a very un-nuremberg like trial happens.

    Nuremberg proved that being a Nazi war criminal was the safest and lowest convicted crime in history.

  • AsteroidOS 2.0 Released

    Jump

  • Maybe not a good example because all TVs and Smart fridges run MCUs (or SBUs) that are 10x-20x more powerful than what is in any smart watch besides the apple watch (where the watch is mostly one gigantic custom IC).

    They usually run NXP I.MX Arm M7 processors at the bare bare bare minimum, much more common is an ARM A7 or higher which is a completely different world than the tiny nrf52840 with 192KB of RAM and 1MB of flash that is standard across lower-end smart watches (and doesn't go upuch with higher end) That is why I was confused. But I guess people get down voted to hell for asking a question lol

  • AsteroidOS 2.0 Released

    Jump

  • I would think Linux would be way too heavy for these watches. A lot of them use pretty lean MCUs, a far cry from the beefy Qualcomm phone chips that Post market runs on.

    Even running zephyr on the NRF52840 can get heavy with adding a bunch of apps to it.

  • AsteroidOS 2.0 Released

    Jump

  • Nah, it is pretty much if you didn't buy one of 2 trendy models of the year, then nothing else has ever or will ever be supported (of course you can always write your own drivers but it is a ton of work, especially for non-coders)

    I have a thought that a lot of the enthusiasts that go through the pain and effoet of writing all of these drivers for old phones they have were usually the kind of people to buy the best/most popular device of the year

  • Fluxer: Swedish Discord alternative, can be selfhosted, AGPL-3.0 license

    Jump

  • Oh, I was just going through the github, my fault for not being thorough.

    Seems like he is using it well and not just having it code the project for him. If this can beat matrix in voice channels + screen sharing/video sharing then that would be awesome.

    My group of friends uses discord since I am very far away from them and we need the screen sharing and webcam video feed for D&D.

  • European Alternatives for Music Streaming

    Jump

  • Thanks. Eternity hasn't been updated in 8 months, so maybe it is a bit buggy. I will go delete the extras.

  • European Alternatives for Music Streaming

    Jump

  • True, but they have tons and tons of american investors and partners. They are firmly in that grip and also a shit company partnering with military surveillance tech as well as trying to stop paying their artists by stealing their work and making AI slop with it.

    Nestle is also European and yet one of the worst companies in the world.

    Just because a company is European, doesn't mean they aren't a horrible company that nobody should support or buy a single thing from.
