  • The genesis of a nixOS user

    Jump

  • The confusion arises because there are 5 different ways to do the same thing, the non-experimental methods shouldn't be used even though they're recommended in the official docs

    I appreciate what you're trying to say, but you're kind of illustrating exactly the point I was making about conceptual simplicity and atrocious UX.

  • The genesis of a nixOS user

    Jump

  • Nix has the same mix of conceptual simplicity and atrocious user interface as git, but somehow magnified three times over. I've tried it multiple times, but could never get over the unintuitive gaggle of commands.

  • Is Carbon Capture Cause for Hope? a new facility to suck carbon out of the air shows why it's more complicated than that.

    Jump

  • The problem is, usually the result of this capture process comes in the form of CO2 gas. Turning that into something useful takes even more energy.

  • Let's do micro service

    Jump

  • Micro services always require more maintenance, devops, tooling, artifact registries, version syncing, etc.

    The initial transition is so huge too. Like, going from 20 to 21 services is no big deal, but going from 1 service to 2 is a big jump in the complexity of your operations.

  • Biden really, really doesn’t want China to flood the US with cheap EVs

    Jump

  • It's not so much about where it goes, more so the fact that it doesn't stay in America. This is about saving the American auto industry. Whether it's for the jobs that would be lost or the profits of the shareholders.

  • Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT

    Jump

  • Same as any other social media. Reddit has a lot of twitter, Tumblr and 4chan screenshots, TikTok videos, etc. Lemmy is not much different.

  • What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?

    Jump

  • Might be talking about the United States specifically. IIRC the constitution denies individual states the right to mint coin or issue bills of credit, that is a prerogative of the federal government.

  • The idea that the Manor Lords dev should 'just hire 50 people' to update it faster is 'fundamentally not the way things work,' says publisher

    Jump

  • It's just the hot new release of the week. Gaming "journalism" sites need to get clicks for their ad money so they pump out shitty filler articles non-stop about whatever is popular. I mean, look at this shit. Before this it was Helldivers.

  • What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments?

    Jump

  • It would be pretty funny if GPT starts putting licence notices under its answers because that's what people do in its training data.

  • What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments?

    Jump

  • protecting their content by licensing it explicitly.

    You can do whatever you want, of course. But any license you put on your content here protects it less than not putting any license at all. That's after all what licenses are for, granting people use of your content.

    So you're not so much protecting your comments, but graciously allowing them to be used for training for non-commercial purposes, where most people are greedily keeping them to themselves. I suppose that's admirable.

  • Any leftover protons will just combine with oxygen in the air and become water. Really pure water!

    Really hot water too, that reaction is just a tad exothermic.

  • Boris Johnson turned away from polling station after forgetting to bring photo ID

    Jump

  • It's a very USA specific thing and people in other countries are often surprised this is such a big deal, because in many countries it's a non-issue. Mostly because having an ID is so ubiquitous in many places. People are often surprised that many Americans don't possess ID.

    There's a lot of stuff about the US elections that's surprising to e.g. Europeans. Why do so many not have ID? Why do you so often have to wait in line for hours? Why do some areas apparently have not enough polling places? Why do I need to register to vote, sometimes repeatedly? Why is it so hard to get time off work to go vote? A lot of these seem like basic requirements for a functioning democracy.

    The US election system has a bunch of historical quirks. And also to my eyes there seems to be a conscious effort from some government officials to make people not go vote.

  • Americans Are Open To Cheap Chinese Cars. That’s 'Scary' For The Rest Of The Auto Industry

    Jump

  • Aside from the chicken tax, Trump also slapped another 25% tariff on Chinese cars specifically because fuck you if you want a small cheap EV.

    And it's not only about tariffs. Many regulations benefit big cars. There's CAFE, which ties emissions limits to a car's footprint: the larger the car, the less stringent the emission standard is. General Motors average fuel economy has actually gotten worse in the past 5 years. And, there's a $30k tax break for small businesses that buy a vehicle for work that weighs over 6,000 lbs. fully loaded.

    Did you know the US has had a "gas guzzler tax" since 1978? It applies to every car that gets less than 22.5 mpg. Except for SUVs and pickups, those are for some reason exempt. The US also has some of the lowest gasoline taxes among rich nations, giving very little incentive to buy a car that consumes less fuel.

    US federal safety regulations and crash tests, contrary to European ones, do not consider anything other than the occupant of the car. The risks to pedestrians or cyclists are not a consideration at all when evaluating the safety of the car.

    Consider that car makers make substantially bigger margins on the large vehicle segment, and the reasons for all these nonsensical regulations start becoming clear.

  • Solene'% : What is going on in Nix community?

    Jump

  • The numbers are different because the site doesn't naively count every line but merges some as a single package. For example, at the very top of the Debian list we have 0ad, 0ad-data, 0ad-data-common. These are all counted as one single "package."

    One might argue that doing the comparison in that way is more useful to an average user asking "which distribution has more software available."

  • Legitimate interest?

    Jump

  • That's not quite what it means. Legitimate interest is a term from the GDPR, and is one of the legal bases on which a company may process your personal data. Essentially the company has a "legitimate interest" (i.e. reasonable purpose) for which your data must be processed.

    Typical examples of legitimate interest are: fraud prevention, direct marketing, or ensuring network/information security of their IT infrastructure.

    The rest of your comment is essentially correct though. Notably, the examples above are not exhaustive: legitimate interest is fairly vaguely defined. And there is a process in the GDPR to object to your legitimate interest claim. This has resulted in essentially all data collection companies claiming a generic legitimate interest on your data, and it's up to you to object to all of them individually. This undermines the general "you must opt in to tracking" principles of the GDPR, but until privacy agencies of the EU get around to some enforcement that's how it is.

  • The cycling revolution in Paris continues: Bicycle use now exceeds car use

    Jump

  • It took some digging but I found the study. The figures are on page 23.

    It's about 53% pedestrian and 30% public transport for journeys inside the city of Paris, whereas journeys from the suburbs into the city are dominated by public transport (65-77% depending on distance to the center).
