  • Debian is Ditching X (Twitter) Citing These Reasons

  • I don't like how people are trying to stir up dissent and drama around this. The message posted is short and on point, it includes all the important bits. There really isn't much more to add.

  • Google's AI is using past tense to describe a sporting event that takes place in 3 days. And it knows who won too.

    Jump

  • Of course they do. AI is aggressively marketed as such. Most people simply don't know that an LLM doesn't have a concept of "truth“, and the misleading marketing is to blame for that.

  • After many years on GNOME, I finally switched to Plasma.

    Jump

  • As a (Plasma based) Kubuntu user I was wondering as well. Looks like they tried to emulate the gnome look and feel in the picture. In Kubuntu the default taskbar is at the bottom and the floating application bar doesn't exist

  • Copilot stops working on gender related subjects

    Jump

  • Why would anyone rename a perfectly valid variable name to some garbage term just to please our Microsoft Newspeak overlords? That would make the code less readable and more error prone. Also everything with human data has a field for sex or gender somewhere, driver's licenses, medical applications, biological studies and all kinds of other forms use those terms.

    But nobody really needs to use copilot to code, so maybe just get rid of it or use an alternative.

  • Shock as German conservatives open door to cooperation with far-right

    Jump

  • I sure hope you're assessment of the CDU is right, but honestly I wouldn't bet on it. If you look at how quickly things in the US go down the drain, implementing fascism and destroying basic human rights at a speed that would have been unthinkable just a few months ago, I'd be very, very sceptical about the CDUs promises regarding their so-called "Brandmauer" (Firewall) against the extreme right.

  • The hurdle is that Europe tends to adopt things that are successful in the US, because it is convenient. Even most services and startups based in Europe are more or less copies of US products, with some notable exceptions of highly specialised applications. This unfortunate trend started in the 1970s, when the largest industrial players in Europe thought semiconductors were just a fad and consequently lost their competitive edge. It was seen as less risky to invest in commercially proven concepts than to actually innovate. This continues to bite us in the ass to this day.

  • Exactly. I think there is a real danger that Merz will turn that into a coalition later and my personal opinion of him is that he is a particularly nasty example of a morally bankrupt piece of shit (and always has been). But let's stick to the facts. This is neither a cooperation nor a coalition, yet.

  • Können wir das als Sticky machen?

  • Naja schön und gut, mein Punkt ist hier dass der MdB durchaus selbst in der Lage sein sollte sich über die bundesweiten Machenschaften der afd zu informieren und dann zu den entsprechenden Schlüssen kommen könnte. Klar kann man abwarten bis jedes einzelne Bundesland zu der Erkenntnis gelangt und klar kann man auch bis nach der Wahl warten, damit es nicht so aussieht als wäre das Verbot ein politischer Schachzug um sich der Konkurrenz zu entledigen. Aber genau da würde ich entschieden widersprechen, denn genau dieses Abwarten und Abwiegeln hat hier möglicherweise katastrophale Folgen für die Demokratie. In den USA ist es im Prinzip ja ähnlich gelaufen, man hat abgewartet mit dem Hinweis auf die bevorstehende Wahl. Und jetzt ist es zu spät, denn Trump wurde gewählt und demontiert nun in rasender Geschwindigkeit Staat und Gesellschaft.

    Abwarten ist absolut der falsche Reflex wenn es um das Abwehren von Gefahren geht. Wenn es brennt erwarte ich von der Feuerwehr dass sie löscht und nicht erstmal abwartet ob das Feuer vielleicht von alleine ausgeht.

  • Können wir das als Sticky machen?

  • Er muss gar nichts beweisen. Die afd ist vom Verfassungsschutz und gerichtlich mehrfach bestätigt als "gesichert rechtsextremistisch" eingestuft worden und das wird dem MDB wohl nicht entgangen sein.

  • Yeah, that was my thought too. What a dumb way to censor by search input instead of censoring the output.

    It probably went like this at Meta:

    Product Manager: Hey we just got this word filter list from HQ to be implemented ASAP.

    Devs: Sure thing boss.

  • German news magazine Der Spiegel wrote they had talked to a Meta representative and they said "This is definitely an error and we will fix it fast"

    My personal take: An incident like this illustrates how vulnerable we are to being censored and silenced when using social media and communication channels owned by billionaires. It's time not only to leave those platforms but to educate your friends and family why this is absolutely necessary. No more excuses.

    Original: Update, 13.30 Uhr: Auf SPIEGEL-Anfrage hat sich Meta inzwischen kurz und knapp zu dem Phänomen geäußert. »Dies ist eindeutig ein Fehler, den wir schnell beheben werden«, so eine Sprecherin des Konzerns.

    The fact that this is a real image is infuriating

    Jump

  • I completely forgot about this one. These clowns also think they are very clever in using thinly veiled Nazi symbolism in their publications. Like using the number 18 in their recent "Abschiebeticket" campaign (1 = A, 8 = H in the alphabet and is common code among themselves for Adolf Hitler) And when asked about that they smugly pretend being absolutely innocent.

  • If you need some context, Musk is actively trying to influence German elections by advertising for the far right party afd. While doing something similar in the UK with the right wing Reform party, and calling for a neo nazi to be released from prison.

    So there's that. It doesn't even matter if this was a nazi salute or not, because it was clear that he is a fascist before this incident.

  • Hulu quizzing about the ads played

  • What's the purpose of this? You have to supply a correct answer to make the ad go away?

  • Replit CEO on AI breakthroughs: ‘We don’t care about professional coders anymore’

    Jump

  • My take: It's either not going to happen at all (which is what I would place my bets on tbh) or it's going to be something that only megacorps like Google or Microsoft can offer due to the enormous requirements of such a system, which would make most of those AI companies redundant, not just their devs.

  • Americans favor deporting undocumented immigrants, until they're asked how

    Jump

  • They are still asking the wrong questions and blissfully ignoring the elephant in the room. If you round up thousands of people there will be logistical problems:

    a) you can only deport people to countries which are willing to take them.

    b) you'll have to detain them until they can be deported

    Which means concentration camps. Ask Americans if they support concentration camps in their country. Because that is what is going to happen.

  • Replit CEO on AI breakthroughs: ‘We don’t care about professional coders anymore’

    Jump

  • You wouldn't even have to reach as far as malware. All software has bugs. To think that AI will produce perfect bugfree code because "it's a computer" is laughable. So inevitably there will be a need to debug the code, across servers, filesystems, databases, APIs, you name it. In tens if not hundreds of thousands of lines of code, which might even be compiled. Surprise, an LLM can't do that.
