  • The Netherlands won't condemn US over Venezuela action

    Jump

  • Do I think Maduro is a great guy? No, of course not. Does that mean I think the US action in Venezuela is justified? Definitely not. This isn’t about Maduro, it’s about the US going into another country kidnapping someone just because he’s in the way of their interests.

    What if the next time it’s someone you don’t think is an arsehole? Who decides how much of an arsehole someone needs to be for the US to kidnap that person and for you to be ok with that?

  • What if we’re thinking about “Fediverse funding” the wrong way? (Non-crypto idea)

    Jump

  • “You exchange real money at a booth, and in return you get tokens or fake currency that are only usable inside that ecosystem.”

    To me that sounds like Reddit’s award system.

    “Boosting posts or creators (opt-in)”

    I hate this idea. I don’t want algorithms nor paid boosting to change the sorting of content. That’s one of the reasons I left Reddit.

    Instead of introducing a complex internal currency or paid boosting, Fediverse instances could adopt a simple, transparent system inspired by Signal’s (the messenger) supporter badges.

    Users voluntarily donate to their instance (one-time or recurring). In return, their profile gets a small, instance specific badge visible next to their avatar.

    Badges are purely visual, they don’t have any influence on post visibility or sorting.

    Edit:

    I forgot to mention, that the badges are only visible for a certain time, like a month or so

    edit end

    I’m not saying, that this is the best solution, but to me this solution is fair, doesn’t interfere with the core values of the fediverse and still raises awareness of the importance of financial support.

  • Pete Hegseth says U.S. intervention in Venezuela is "exact opposite" of Iraq

    Jump

  • “…when he says something matters, it does, and we will take the necessary action with the full weight of the Department of War”

    To me that somehow sounds as if they said “looking at you Greenland”.

  • One on one activities for autistic adult and ADD mom?

    Jump

  • I’m diagnosed with autism and ADD. My son (adult) is diagnosed with ADD.

    We go for walks regularly and just talk. About what’s going on in our lives and what is on our minds. It might be politics or private stuff.

    Walking somehow makes it easier to talk as you’re busy without being overly distracted. No need to look at a face as you need to watch where you’re going.

    This helped us a lot understanding each other.

  • My first thought was that rising poverty, which disproportionately affects African-American communities, plays a major role. Poverty often leads to poor diets, which in turn worsen underlying health conditions. Add the stress of working multiple jobs (because you can’t afford to have only one) and you have your perfect recipe for declining health.

    The person I like won't talk to me, I think I fucked up, what do I do?

    Jump

  • Ok, I’ll make it short: when people react like this, when their needs aren’t met, then run and don’t look back.

  • Ask HN: By what percentage has AI changed your output as a software engineer?

    Jump

  • -5%

    Why? Legacy code and the inability of AI to work with anything that is not standard. I spend more time finding errors in the code generated than I would’ve needed to write it myself.

    And don’t get me started on inefficiency like nested loops which are fairly easy to avoid, but AI seems to just love them.

    AI simply sucks.

  • how do we convince the poors to make more disposable slaves?

    Jump

  • That’s easy: start with making abortion illegal. Proceed with making contraception illegal.

  • Mark Zuckerberg gifted noise-canceling headphones to his Palo Alto neighbors because of the non-stop construction around his 11 homes

    Jump

  • 11 homes?

  • South Dakota hotel owner found liable for discrimination against Native Americans

    Jump

  • The comment section has some disturbing views.

  • I don't know anything about this upcoming movie but I love the old school art style of the poster.

    Jump

  • I also don’t know anything about this movie, just what is shown: Tom Cruise? Instantly not interested, no matter how much I adore the style.

  • Phänomen "Cat Content": Was fasziniert uns an Katzen?

    Jump

  • Bin ich fasziniert von Katzen? Ganz klar: ja (und von Hunden, und eigentlich allen Tieren).

    Bin ich fasziniert von online cat content? Nö. Mich nervt vor allem die Sprachverhunzung die in den meisten Fällen über einem eher alltäglichen Bild einer Katze verwendet wird.

    Ich kann jedoch nicht verstehen, dass jemand mit Katzen nichts anfangen kann oder diese sogar hasst. Je stärker die Ablehnung anderer gegenüber Tieren, je größer ist mein Misstrauen gegenüber diesen Menschen.

  • The Copenhagen Trap: How the West made passivity the only safe strategy

    Jump

  • “The West?" At least in Germany, it’s a bit different.

    If someone is drowning and you do nothing, you are indeed legally liable under § 323c StGB (unterlassene Hilfeleistung), unless you genuinely cannot help (e.g., you can’t swim or would endanger yourself). Simply walking away is not a safe strategy in such a situation.

    And if you try to help, but the person dies or gets injured, you are not automatically liable. German law protects good-faith rescuers: you can only be held responsible if you act with gross negligence. That’s why, in Germany, we’re taught from school onward that it’s always okay to help, you won’t be punished for trying.

    So, in Germany, the safest move is not to walk away, but to act reasonably and in good faith.

  • Affordability is in crisis. The solution: You’ll never own anything again

    Jump

  • What do I own today? I live in a rented flat, my car is leased, even the movies I watch are “rented”.

    Affordability is in crisis ALTHOUGH WE DON’T OWN ANYTHING.

    So tell me more about how not owning anything will be the solution.
