  • Where in the article does it say anything about missiles and warheads?

  • What lurking suspicion do you have about something but is hard to prove?

  • Don't the panama papers detail a lot of this and a financial trail of how they collaborate with one another?

    It seems like the panama papers had been collectively forgotten 2 years later, but they give blatant evidence of the secret elite money laundering and invisible payment network of collaboration IIRC.

    As far as Nazi ideology, fascism always goes hand in hand with corporatism, so it makes sense.

  • I respectfully disagree. I understand what you are saying. But censorship and echo chambers on a platform level are a related, but different issue.

    I agree that Lemmy is very much anti-censorship.

    an environment in which somebody encounters only opinions and beliefs similar to their own, and does not have to consider alternatives

    However, echo chambers can exist with 0 platform censorship whatsoever. It doesn't have to be the platform's fault. If people only read and interact with communities who's viewpoints confirm their own, that is a completely self-made echo chamber. Completely seperate than censorship and completely unrelated to the platform, but instead the people and community moderators.

    For example, hexbear users pretty much only interact with hexbear and .ml users (and often ban others). That is an echo chamber. The .world main communities ban people of both too far right and too far left so there is little interaction of those viewpoints with those communities. That is an echo chamber. The community of open source doesn't ban many people, but the only people who go to that community are very positive about open source. That is an echo chamber.

    If you have a dozen rooms in the same building and you have 1 room that thinks the world is flat and the people don't go into any other room, even though they have free and open access and can go to hear the opinions of the 11 other rooms, that room is an echo chamber

  • Lol nope, i don't use bluesky. I agree that corporate manipulative media can go fuck themselves.

    I was just correcting your implication for other viewers that the fediverse is any different as far as echo chambers. It is just not a corporate controlled echo chamber.

  • I mean, every community is an echo chamber, that is what online communities do and have done since the beginning of the internet. Hell, in-person meeting groups are echo chambers more often than not. If you go to an open source convention, the people there will probably echo your opinions on the topic.

    Lemmy is definitely an echo chamber in many different communities, I would venture to say most. If someone thinks left communities aren't as much of an echo chamber as liberal or conservative, then they either haven't spent enough time there or are lying to themselves just like the people that say "propaganda won't work on me"

    People gravitate towards people with the same views who confirm their worldview. Even if you discuss topics and have different views, you are still in a group with like 90% the same views. That is just how humans are unless one makes a conscious effort to go into hugely different groups like specific debate groups or something.

    A lot of Benelux banks require magisk and hiding that you aren't using a specific google branded android version if you use a community ROM.

  • GNU Octave 11.1.0 Released

  • I used this back in the day after i left university with free MATLAB.

    Very functional, but struggled (8 years ago was the last I tried) with large datasets, especially variable exploring. It also was missing signal processing and filtering libraries back then.

    I had since switched to python with numpy, Pandas, scipy, and matplotlib and it is phenomenal.

    I would try it out because it has probably improved a ton, but Python is now available in excel (and it already was in libreoffice) for sharing scripts with people without python at work, so I don't know if it is worth it lol.

  • European alternatives to Google Translate? Preferably not LLM.

  • Deepl was the first using an LLM though richt? They have always advertised that it was AI.

    OP specifically doesn't want that if possible.

    Or is it a different class of "AI"?

  • 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.
