  • EU far-right parties rally in Madrid behind slogan 'Make Europe Great Again'

    Jump

  • I find it incredibly cringe anyway that all these parties just copy the same slogan. Some weird form of international nationalism, where they all just copy whatever the others are doing. It apparently works very well.

    I guess in Western Europe it’s largely focused around anti-immigration and anti-EU sentiments, but with this movement being more and more international, I do notice an uptick in rhetoric concerning sexual minorities and women’s rights, with a lot of anti science and elitism/wokeism sprinkled in. It’s very scary. I’m happy that we don’t have a political system where the winner takes it all in my country, as it’s pretty bad already as it is right now.

  • The new Vim project - What has changed after Bram

    Jump

  • Some features/plugins can be quite taxing on the system and in extreme cases it can slow the editor down to the point of being unusable. I’m a happy Neovim user with a LazyVim setup, but I experience this extreme slowdown for some JSON files and I haven’t looked into it yet to see what causes it.

    You can let your editor do the same compute intensive or memory hogging things that a GUI editor does. The fact that it runs in your terminal doesn’t make it lightweight by definition.

  • Heya guys.

  • A general remark rather than an answer to your question: in general, more than not equal better with vitamins, and too much vitamin B6 can lead to nerve problems. I would only supplement when you have a good reason to believe that you’re deficient. If you insist, at least try to stick to normal doses.

  • Christmas Deal

    Jump

  • The Dutch brought Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) to New Amsterdam, current day NYC, which has developed into Santa Claus as we know it know. Santa Claus is a phonetic derivation of Sinterklaas.

    Apparently he was depicted as a thick-bellied Dutch sailor with a pipe and a green outfit in Washington Irving’s History of New York book, so maybe that’s where you got that idea from.

  • Apple Maps on the web now has Look Around

    Jump

  • To be fair: it’s not new to Apple Maps, it’s new to Apple Maps on the the web.

  • Would you recommend NextDNS?

    Jump

  • I’ve been using it for the past 4 years and it has been rock solid for me. I use the oisd list with some of the overlapping security lists disabled and it just works. I never get complaints from family members either. It’s enabled on my home network, iOS/MacOS/Linux devices and in Tailscale.

  • ¿Tenéis cuenta en Twitter? ¿La habéis cerrado/abandonado? ¿Os habéis cambiado a Bluesky, a Threads o a Mastadon? Hablemos sobre lo que está pando en las redes.

    Jump

  • Tengo cuenta en Twitter, pero no la uso. La única razón por la que no la he cerrado es por si la necesito para ver algún comentario. Tengo cuenta en Bluesky también, pero esa no uso tampoco. En Threads no tengo cuenta.

    Mi plataforma favorita es Lemmy y anteriormente fue Reddit. Me gustan más este estilo de hilos y las comunidades. Hay una opción experimental en Bluesky para habilitar una vista de hilos, así que quizá lo usaré más a menudo en el futuro, pero hasta ahora ni siquiera sé a quién seguir.

  • ¿Qué películas o series has visto esta semana?

    Jump
    • La primera vez (Eva Lasting)
    • Silo temporada 2

  • Futuro del la comunidad

    Jump

  • Es algo muy curioso y me lo he preguntado muchas veces. Hay muchísimos hispanohablantes, pero donde están? Sobretodo los de España. Yo no soy español así que no sé dónde se puede encontrar españoles en internet. Sé que hay algunos foros que son exclusivamente en español, como foro coches y menéame, pero esos me gustan tanto. Todos están allí? Incluso en reddit hay menos de lo que esperaba.

  • Millenials and Zoomers experience decision fatigue differently (And what it means for Lemmy)

    Jump

  • Millennial here. I’ve been consuming Reddit, and now Lemmy, almost exclusively on my phone and for me it’s card view all the way. Often the graphic content is more important than the title and opening posts only to find out it’s not funny or interesting feels like a waste of time. Only when I find a post interesting enough that I want to comment or see the comments, I open it. Instances or communities that I don’t like go on the blocklist.

    If I really need to use Reddit, I open old Reddit in the browser with an extension that turns it into a mobile friendly site with card view. The new design has always felt sluggish and bloated to me, but not because of the card view.

  • Apple won't launch a smart ring, says Oura CEO: 'It's hard to do'

    Jump

  • Exactly. Same as with sleeping data. When it says that you’ve been awake 3 times last night, it doesn’t really mean much. That kind of data shouldn’t be presented as being accurate. However, it could still be made accessible behind a button er menu option. For example, it might show you that the signal is intermittent because your watch band isn’t tight enough, or other anomalies. And of course you’re right: they won’t tell you that the data is of low quality and as a user you don’t necessarily know that, so in that sense it can be very misleading.

    Jump

  • My Garmin also shows the shape of the graph, but to be honest I don’t trust it at that resolution. I just keep track of the moving average, which is the main value that is shown. I do agree that that kind of data shouldn’t be hidden from the user.

  • ‘Women Over 30 Would Have Uteruses Removed’ says Conservative Party of Japan Leader Naoki Hyakuta

    Jump

  • I think that the idea is that by setting a strict deadline after which women can’t have children or marry, they are forced to start a family now or risk regretting it later. That’s the only way I can make sense of this bizarre scenario.

  • Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good

    Jump

  • It’s off by default, but activated when you end your search query with a question mark. That option can be turned off.

  • The number vs. arrow direction on this sticker...

    Jump

  • But 2K and 4K do refer to the horizontal resolution. There’s more than one resolution that’s referred to as 2K, for example 2048 x 1080 DCI 2K, but also 1920 x 1080 full HD, since it’s also almost 2000 pixels wide. The total number of pixels is in the millions, not thousands.

    For 4K some common resolutions are 4096 x 2160 DCI 4K and 3840 x 2160 UHD, which both have a horizontal resolution of about 4000 pixels.

  • Non-English speaking programmers, do you write your comments in your native language?

    Jump

  • Using English is the only way that all my colleagues are able to read it, but if it’s just meant for you, or only for Spanish speaking people, I’d say why not.

  • Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.

    Jump

  • That’s not as effective, since it can’t block anything that’s hosted from a hostname that also serves regular content without also blocking the regular content. It also can’t trick websites into thinking that nothing is blocked and it can’t apply cosmetic rules. I use it for my devices, but in browsers I supplement it with uBlock Origin (or whatever is available in that browser).
