  • WDR-Umfrage: Jeder sechste Schüler berichtet von Mobbing im Klassenchat

    Jump

  • Jugendlicher zu sein, war auch für mich vor ca. 20 Jahren die Hölle, ich glaub das schon alles, was in dem Artikel steht …

    Nur: Daran ist doch nicht die digitale Technologie schuld! Ohne diese würden diese Dinge halt analog passieren. Ganz im Gegenteil, das Internet kann den Betroffenen einen dringend notwendigen Rückzugsort geben.

  • Meta, TikTok let harmful content rise after evidence outrage drove engagement

  • 2000s: we have web forums where people can talk to each other about anything they want, without any sort of corporate control or government censorship! this is awesome, we are living in the future! we should all make sure to preserve and expand this!

    2020s:

  • Do you consider the free software movement to be an anarchist/communist project?

    Jump

  • Yes. There are several sections on gnu.org that talk about this, these are the ones I was able to quickly find.

    https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

    You should also have the freedom to make modifications and use them privately in your own work or play, without even mentioning that they exist. If you do publish your changes, you should not be required to notify anyone in particular, or in any particular way.

    https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html

    The freedom to make and distribute exact copies when you wish. (It is not an obligation; doing this is your choice. If the program is free, that doesn't mean someone has an obligation to offer you a copy, or that you have an obligation to offer him a copy. Distributing a program to users without freedom mistreats them; however, choosing not to distribute the program—using it privately—does not mistreat anyone.)

    https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.en.html

    Free software is a matter of freedom, not access. In general we do not believe it is wrong to develop a program and not release it. There are occasions when a program is so important that one might argue that withholding it from the public is doing wrong to humanity. However, such cases are rare. Most programs are not that important, and declining to release them is not particularly wrong. Thus, there is no conflict between the development of private or custom software and the principles of the free software movement.

    Nearly all employment for programmers is in development of custom software; therefore most programming jobs are, or could be, done in a way compatible with the free software movement.

  • Do you consider the free software movement to be an anarchist/communist project?

    Jump

  • because it rejects the basis of capitalism, which is private ownership of the means of production (which in this case would be software)

    No, it doesn't. Companies developing software for internal use, including as part of a "means of production" (e.g. robot firmware at a factory), and keeping it secret from the public is completely compatible with free software. It's only when software is distributed to other people/entities that the free software movement insists that the recipient should also have freedom (including to run a business with it or any modified version of it).

  • Do you consider the free software movement to be an anarchist/communist project?

    Jump

  • No. I'm staunchly anti-communist and also a staunch supporter of free software. It's also possible to have another combination of beliefs on these things, but these are mine.

    I suggest reading the section "Why Don't You Move to Russia?" of this: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/shouldbefree.en.html

    By contrast, I am working to build a system where people are free to decide their own actions; in particular, free to help their neighbors, and free to alter and improve the tools which they use in their daily lives. A system based on voluntary cooperation and on decentralization.

    Thus, if we are to judge views by their resemblance to Russian Communism, it is the software owners who are the Communists.

    I agree with that. Free software is about building a society more strongly based on individual rights. At least Marxism-Leninism certainly isn't about that, though anarchism can be argued to be to some extent.

  • This Phishing email... What is the IP?

    Jump

  • It's possible in general, but I don't think that's what's going on specifically here; not many people read IP addresses in such detail to notice such things at first glance.

  • Chinese parents love to dismiss mental illness, but simultaneously love to threaten to "send their 'misbehaving' kid to a mental hospital".

  • Are you seriously comparing child acting to the kind of thing in the comic? :o

  • nation of professional protesters

    Jump

  • He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates?

    Jump

  • prove your identity. If you are an American citizen

    how do you verify someone is a citizen if you don't make them prove their identity?

    I live in an EU country and absolutely do have to prove my identity when I vote. I do not have to "register to vote", or more precisely, I'm already required to register my residence with the government, which doubles as voter registration (the government knows my DOB and citizenship, so knows whether I meet those criteria). Getting disenfranchised for criminal convictions is a thing here, but only very rarely and AFAIK only when specifically sentenced to it.

  • He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates?

    Jump

  • Who else should pick judges except for another branch of government?

  • He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates?

    Jump

  • Excluding people from running for office because of criminal conviction provides an incentive for authoritarians in power to prosecute their political opponents, so it's a question that definitely has two sides. :/

  • Camera that can help offset tremors?

    Jump

  • There are relatively affordable 150-600 lenses with stabilization, maybe look into one of them for wildlife.

  • Chinese parents love to dismiss mental illness, but simultaneously love to threaten to "send their 'misbehaving' kid to a mental hospital".

    Jump

  • You think this is specific to China? Look up the "troubled teen industry" and lose what remaining faith you have in humanity.

    Maybe the best gateway to information about it: https://elan.school/

  • Camera that can help offset tremors?

    Jump

  • There are both bodies with in body stabilization, and lenses with in lens stabilization. Any comparison website should tell you this information.

    If you tell us more about what you intend to shoot, maybe we can give more helpful recommendations.

    A Reddit Post, An AI Hallucination, And Two Lawyers Who Never Checked Citations Walk Into A Dog Custody Case

  • do you see linux ever having 10 - 20 % market share in desktop space?

    Jump

  • Yes, I think it's realistic if we look at how things in computing have changed even just within the last few decades.

    https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share#monthly-200901-202603 in early 2009, IE was at ~65%, Chrome at <2%, we've gone from that to "IE does not exist" and Chrome in the same spot IE was then

    https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share#monthly-200901-202603 in early 2009, Windows was at ~94%, now it is at ~26% with Android having taken the top spot, even that is just at ~37%, so there is now no dominant operating system overall

    https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide#monthly-200901-202603 even disregarding mobile devices, Windows has fallen from ~95% to ~61% in that time frame

    and maybe I'm just old but early 2009 doesn't seem an enormously long time ago somehow
