  • It's always been this way. Really dumb fucks ruin everything. And the meme of racism simply won't die as long as there are dumb, gullible shitheads that gobble it up. Humanity exists on a bell curve, and the smart enough people on the top end of the curve basically fight each other for the right to manipulate the idiots for their own selfishness. Racism is an easy meme and extremely virulent among religious. The actually smart people have better things to do and have no interest in all this stupid shit. Humanity is so fucking disappointing. A bunch of stupid fucking apes with nukes.

  • FOSDEM 2026, one of the world's largest software meeting will start in 2 days in Brussels 🇧🇪. This edition features 1176 speakers and 1063 events

  • Wait, there are talks? I thought we all just hung out in the hallways excitedly nerding out about nerdshit. 😉

    I'm missing FOSDEM this year, sadly. That AI plumbers track looks great. I really wanted that track to be a thing two years ago, but instead of that, the AI track at the time was all weirdly social/political.

  • ACAB but expressed in USB connector types (that funky shaped one on the right was a short lived USB connector type B). I only had like one peripheral, a scanner, that used it.

    Should I be trying to leave the USA before it's too late?

  • No country currently accepts asylum applications from Americans as far as I’m aware, certainly nowhere in Europe.

    Yet.I'm waiting for the full nazi invade-your-neighbors moment. Pretty sure that changes for the Operation Reverse Paperclip. I'm already here in EU on a work visa. Claiming political asylum while already here and stable hopefully helps me avoid some red tape in staying permanently.

  • Besides the potential splash back, I see nothing wrong with this. They are gonna hose it down after the game anyhow.

  • Amsterdam, 1st capital to legally ban fossil ads and meat ads

    Jump

  • Maybe I don't pay enough attention to the ads, but I never saw petrol or meat ads around the city in the first place.

  • I don't think it is about needing a doctorate beforehand and I find your characterization of @it_depends_man@lemmy.world's advice on social etiquette weirdly non-sequitur and white knighty. Would you walk into a religious place of worship, a strip club, a gun range, or Costco without at least knowing how to interact with that space? Wearing your magic underwear? Bring enough fives? Ear protection? Membership card?

    The point being virtual spaces are weird and full of weird people that live in their head. And they make communities that have implicit and explicit rules like all communities. And if you're wading neck deep into a pool of internet weirdos (their pool, mind you, you're the outsider traipsing in wanting their knowledge and wisdom) and want your question answered, the lurk and learn advice from above is solid.

    Does it suck? Maybe? I can see it from the community's perspective where they set the barrier to entry.

  • A little bit dated, but it seems like it has been receiving updates. There is a whole section at the bottom now about how to answer questions (ie. don't be an asshole). I really want to emphasize that idea. Lots of FOSS communities now have codes of conduct which I find useful in mitigating this behavior, too.

    As for the tone, it definitely has an ivory tower, individualism, pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, slanted view but I don't think it unduly burdens a newbie to learn how to teach themselves by ensuring they've exhausted all the typical avenues of stored knowledge before bothering someone with a well-crafted question. It is a self-sufficiency that has very positive returns in the future.

    Without more context, it is difficult to say how justified OP is in their read of the situation. Maybe the forum posters weren't really out of line because the general topic was #random and OP asked in the wrong place?

  • "Have you asked the clanker yet?"

    Most of my search process prior to LLM was querying google with keywords and specific phrases, clicking through several of the first page links that are from reputable sources, reading all of that, synthesizing an answer. Now that google has completed its enshittification of search, it's index is gamed both from the SEO grifters and from inside with them making search worse because it ultimately leads to more ad impressions. The quality of those first page links is directly related to how much the stink of money the topic has.

    I now pay for search with kagi (not an ad, swear) so that incentives are properly aligned. I get very useful first page links again because I can lens the search to exclude a lot of the SEO shit sites or only return academic sources. And I also use their robot assistant now for many searches because it can synthesize good summaries and good gists of topics from good source links. Prompted to always cite shit so I can always verify the clanker's bullshit, but trust has been getting higher lately as the models get better.

    At some point we will end up with a lmgtfy.com but lmpalfy.com (let me prompt an LLM for you)
