  • TFW you pour gasoline over the fire but it just won't go out.

  • US allies in Europe want answers over unspent USAID money

    Jump

  • Should be, but I don't have much faith in the US or Swedish government. As long as it's earmarked I guess it doesn't really matter if they're not paid back, feels more like a symbolic gesture (which I'm not against, but still) to ask for it back.

  • Disregarding any gut feelings I may or may not have of this administration, they just cut funding to USAID right? The article makes it sound like these contributions are marked (or else it would be difficult to talk about it being "unspent"), so they can't be used for things such as administrative costs and so on?

  • I think there is a skill set that's required to use AI efficiently. You need to know what kind of problems they're suitable for, be able to recognise when it's going in circles or hallucinating and you need to be able to troubleshoot and understand whatever it's outputting. Personally I've found it quite useful in many cases.

  • A team with one creative and one gets things done is not too bad. I'd take the headline with a grain of salt since AI are known to not always get things done and sometimes will lead their pilots around in circles for no good reason, but still, they don't really need to be creative to beat most teams.

  • Is there a FOSS Linkedin alternative?

    Jump

  • ok, but what about the selling point for recruitment firms that "you don't need to pay $190 a month to unlock Sales Navigator Advanced for each of your recruiters"? or is that perhaps a feature, sorting out the weeds who can't afford the monthly fee?

  • China considers participating in peacekeeping forces in Ukraine

    Jump

  • Doesn't sound like the purpose is to please Russia. Especially this part:

    China is assessing the possibility of participating in peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, asking the EU whether its European partners support such an initiative.

    Asking the EU if it would support them participating in a peacekeeping mission which Russia has been very critical of kinda seems more like they're trying to improve relations with Europe in the wake of strong anti-US sentiments.

  • First alienate every potential customer of advanced military equipment, then dump insane amounts of money into development of advanced military equipment. The art of the deal.

  • I'm heavily pro-Ukraine, and not gonna pretend that the playing field is at all level. But to be fair Ukraine attacked gas pipelines and refineries (reportedly supporting Moscow with up to 50% of it's oil) less than a week ago, can they still complain about power infrastructure being targeted?

    I mean obviously they can complain about everything Russia does, but this specific point just seems a bit odd?

    Ah, I didn't catch that this deal to not hit energy infra was after Ukraine hit the refinery and oil pipelines.

  • France preparing ‘survival manual’ for every household, report says

    Jump

  • An emergency doesn't necessarily mean your house is on fire. Recently I read a text saying that while the situation is dire, cities on the Russo-Ukrainian frontline which are targets of bombings on a daily basis still go about their daily routines as normal. But they are in an emergency, and a pamphlet like this hidden away in a drawer somewhere could definitely be useful.

  • My experience with Matrix is that the federation itself is a deal breaker. I have a pretty beefy server and good connection which was getting ddosed by running Matrix and timing out on so many requests for avatars/profiles etc. Maybe I did something wrong, but the whole experience rendered me quite skeptical to the viability of it as a federated chat.

    That said I've had nothing but good experiences using it with big servers set up by pros.

  • Right, and picking an instance is kinda same guidelines as any fediverse. Find something focused on your main interest of decent size and you'll be able to get things from most other places too?

  • Just out of curiosity, as a person who doesn't make any videos myself and don't know anyone who does, is there any use to hosting my own peertube instance? Mostly curious because it seems quite popular to self-host so there might be some killer feature I'm overlooking.

  • Hungary is not a net contributor to the EU, you ain't funding shit you're being funded.
