  • Linux, Crossfit, and Veganism too

  • There is very little personal to talk about that gets organically brought up in the workplace, I've found. Maybe they are trying to include you more or latching on to something that is genuinely interesting instead of the boring normal shit like talking about the weather, sports, or more work.

  • What are your favorite healthy snacks?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • ICE agents ate at a Minnesota Mexican restaurant before arresting staff

    Jump

  • Republicans have literally fought tooth and nail to be able to refuse service to anyone (in their case, LGBTQ people, disabled people, and black people) which absolutely can and should be used to the fullest extent against them.

  • Israel sees spike in PTSD and suicide among troops as war persists

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Trump says he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the US controlling Greenland

    Jump

  • This is also why all the fucking electronics companies in the EU only going through american distributers and having their own damn webshops from and EU company ship from the US is going to cripple one of or most important industries when shit hits the fan. Looking at you STM, Nordic, and uBlox!

    We have 3 large distributers in Europe: UK, Poland, and international (UK and Belgium) and yet only a tiny tiny subset of older parts are sold from there while the american distributors are packed full.

  • Fuming Bondi Loses It at Prosecutors Quitting Over ICE Killing Probe

    Jump

  • Attempted murder of a federal agent.

    The exact same completely bullshit story that they lead out with.

    Also felony murder is a bullshit law exclusively used by power tripping assholes. John Oliver did a story on it and how there was a guy who let his roommate borrow his car for a night, his roommate committed armed robbery, and the guy who unknowingly lent his car out went to prison for life.

  • Black Panthers in Philly: All the power to the mother fucking people! No power to the pig!

    Jump

  • I get this, and I lean heavily toward armed show of unity of the people. I really hope also that there is a secret left resistance coalition in the military and of all of the discarded generals and higher ups aren't just sitting around with their thumbs in their asses.

    However, this is a very different context than almost any other revolution (outside of in China maybe, but those have not gone well)

    The federal state has the processing power and surveillance to literally track down anyone in the US within a week or so if the person is in public, and within a very short time if they have a phone. This has already been shown by the use of Palantir and Flock to coordinate ICE raids and select and track targets, and ICE are untrained complete idiots. If the military gets involved that is much easier.

    Public opinion now matters 10x more than it did 50 years ago and when the last panthers were active. The government can easily put down a movement of a few hundred people if they become a problem, unlike previously. Israel has shown this by systematically smart bombing and assassinating all journalists that weren't caught in carpet bombing.

    But if you have 1 million people in a city, united, and 50 million people across the country, that is how regimes fall. If the government targets them, then others will support them instead of backing down. They have to tread very carefully and have a lot of restraint and good community programs and marketing to win community and public support, because otherwise it will be a blip on the news radar if they get murdered.

  • About “fauxpen source”, FUTO, fascists and capitalism

    Jump

  • I mean, immich is still awesome and as far as anyone can tell, nothing has changed.

    Giving money to immich isn't giving money to FUTO as far as anyone can tell.

    The immich developer also probably didn't have the resources to do a deep dive into FUTO before being sponsored, so they likely didn't know.

    I also use immich and I will continue to do so, but it is just something to keep in mind.

  • DOJ won’t investigate killing of Minneapolis woman shot by ICE

    Jump

  • They have been under constant Russian DDoS attack since it was announced (what a coincidence).

    They need to put out like 100 torrents and file shares in different locations

  • Massive ICE Goon ID Leak Halted by Cyber Attack From Russia

  • Except the 51% owner of the block chain can overwrite the ledger and billionaires and hostile governments have all of the computers to do it. This has already happened multiple times with smaller coins IIRC.

    Block chain is essentially just the techbro version of capitalism (not an alternative, a recreation). If there are distributed companies and enough competition, the system works pretty well, but when everything centralizes as has inevitably happened everywhere, the rules all get thrown away.

  • About “fauxpen source”, FUTO, fascists and capitalism

    Jump

  • I got told off a while ago when immich got funding when I said that FUTO seems quite fishy and I didn't believe that there were no strings attached with immich. Everyone said "oh they are just a great open source grant org" when I questioned where their money came from.

    I feel a bit vindicated they they are just another tech bro's philanthropic project with a habit of supporting and platforming fascists.

  • Omar Warns Trump Aims to Provoke Enough Agitation in Minnesota So He Can Declare 'Martial Law'

    Jump

  • I am interested in learning which american peaceful protests have been successful that were not backed by force in the past 10 years?

    Actually what american protests at all have been successful in the past 10 years at actually accomplishing their goals and not settling for 1% of their goals as a "compromise" for the theater?

    Maybe we can extend it to 30 years or 40 years just for fun?

  • Best - if at all? - European AI coding assistant

    Jump

  • I have tried it multiple times for embedded coding and it has never once produced valid code. It is like tutorials giving pseudo-code (but saying it is real code). So vibe-coding seems to not work with it.

    It can produce an idea that you can follow, so it is useful for exploring different methods for solving a problem, but that is its limit for me.

    That said, embedded code generally has quite specific libraries, but even directing it right to the library, right to the file, I was unable to coax it into using functions or APIs that exist.

  • low-tech cellphone recs for someone in the US?

    Jump

  • It is worth it to note that SMS should not be used for any personal communication. Literally every message you send is stored by the carrier and handed over to anyone that pays them including LEOs, who in the past have used them to incriminate innocent people, and if you live in america, they will use them to justify shooting you apparently...

    Not to mention anyone in the area can intercept all messages with some cheap equipment.

    Dumb phones are such a draw compared to stupid smart phones, but they don't have any secure messaging (at least the ones I have looked at)

  • All my new code will be closed-source from now on - Marc J. Schmidt

    Jump

  • This is the best comment of the thread.

    So many people are nitpicking his post or criticizing the platform that he shares it on (let's me honest, linkedIN has a much wider impact than the fediverse if something "goes corporate viral"). People deserve to be compensated for their work.

    We shouldn't be mad at the devs trying to make a living, even those who have different views about what open source is. We should be banding together against the companies who's entire business model is based on theft and abuse. New anti-AI licenses specifically, techniques to poison AI data baked into every repo, class action lawsuits against companies, etc...

    Once Universal Basic Income gets implemented and you don't need to be paid directly for your work to survive, then we bicker incessantly about the finer points of the real definition of open source.

  • You need to stop using Brave

  • He is pretty much openly admitting he has right wing views and it is influencing his social media and project policy.

    "Punch Nazis" is literally the only use of the phrase "punch [group]" in modern culture. Redacting specifically Nazi from the statement to make it seem like it is a general statement used, which suggests that is is note broad violent rhetoric, is a very often used dogwhistle by Nazis (and is being used daily by the extreme right wing, at this point satisfying nearly every academic hallmark of fascism, american government).

    It is also relevant to note that during the project startup, someone simply suggested a 10 minute search and replace change to use more neutral language and he responded "your personal politics have no place here" even though that is not necessarily political.

    Again, the only people that get that offended and snappy with something as benign as using a single different pronoun are the people who support taking basic rights away from human beings. I have never met another type person who cares at all.

    The real question is, if a terrible person creates something (potentially) good and let's their own politics create arguments and stir up drama, but just use the guise of "oh it's because I want to be apolitical", is it worth giving money and support to that person. How can you trust someone to always make a "free as in freedom browser" when they literally support (hypothetically) authoritarianism, mass surveillance, and taking rights away in real life? That is the antithesis of the project's mission.

    Also, life is inherently political. There is a group of people literally wanting to kidnap, torture, enslave, kill, and/or remove any rights from another large group of people. Ignoring those problems and welcoming those people with open arms gives them the chance to spread those hateful and violent views, as evidenced by their rapid growth by creating safe spaces for them on the internet.

    It is a sad reality, but throughout much of human history, there has been a large groups of people don't have the luxury to "avoid talking about politics" and "making things political" because they were literally getting enslaved and/or killed by it. And that is happening today still, visibly and publically.

  • We need to have a pinned post about nothing on this community.

    Nothing is a Chinese company with American investors, using the UK marketing office as a tax haven, there is nothing European about it.

    All of the electronics are designed and produced in China, all of the firmware is designed and written in China, most or all of the software is written in China. All of the electronics & technical job postings from then since inception have been for their Chinese office. (Disclaimer, the past year they had 1-2 software engineering jobs posted at their london office, so maybe sometime in the future, they will start writing a bit of the software in europe)

    All of their smart watches and their whole CMF line is ODM'ed (white labeled) by fully Chinese companies, that is why they are all completely generic dime-a-dozen base designs.

    Their CEO has had a history of misleading and/or lying with his other Chinese company he started, and has worked in the Chinese smartphone industry for 15 years in China. Sure he grew up in Sweden, but that is literally the only EU-related affiliation the company has, and he didn't put the headquarters marketing office in Sweden because he is dodging taxation.
