It’s not just about backups. If you discontinue the collection of certain data or mess with the data itself before publication, the whole study might get useless. Take those long-term studies researching health outcomes over decades. If you mess with the data collection there, you can’t get clean data back after Trump is dead.

This. Facebook is already involved in a genocide. Zuckerberg does know what happened there. He is allowing the same hatred on his platform again. That is intentional.

We here on the fediverse are currently trying to build it.

And what would the undernet be? This Lemmy here?

It also allows criminals to check if they are already under the eyes of the police. Want to do a drug run? Check if somebody has tracked your vehicle beforehand!

Yeah, the famous french anti-nuclear lobby. Those guys who control the french government with its nuclear weapons, who has also recently built a nuclear reactor. That government totally is controlled by the anti-nuclear lobby.

Or … maybe France tried upgrading its aging nuclear reactors with the new reactor in Flamanville, which went spectacular over budget? And debt ridden EdF simply has not the funds to build over 50 new reactors at 13 billion each?

I like the article. Interesting subject, well written and it has the perfect lenght.

AI really shows how broken and non-existant moderation is on these “platforms”.

Musk is accusing everybody he doesn’t like as pedophile, even people trying to rescue schoolchildren trapped in a flooded cave.

That will totally lead to websites not supporting or even blocking Firefox. Together with uBlock capitulating against Facebook and all those age registration nonsense, I really am scared about the future of the web.

A few hints:

1. Start with smaller projects with simpler codebases. Do not try to understand what LibreOffice or Jellyfin are doing.
2. Maybe try to understand how one specific part of that software works. Chatbots are really, really good at explaining existing code, so ask your bot where the feature is located and let it explain it to you

Yeah, kind of. I refuse to login and notice how often I still klick on Reddit. That is like a cold shower, but cures the muscle memory.

First of all, many of us used Google Reader and Google shutting that down totally destroyed my trust in Google and other companies. My reader is critical infrastructure for me and I do not want some random company to screw me again. I think that many others experienced losing a valuable tool and that is why there are so many selfhosted RSS readers out there.

If we are taking the 2004 NATO expansion as a cutoff and the fall of the Soviet union in 1991 as baseline, Russia attacked Georgia and Moldova in the 1990s. Followed by Georgia again in 2008 & Ukraine in 2014 and 2022.

It’s the right of every country to join military alliances as they want. And some promise back in the early 90s is totally nothing binding that is valid when one country is actively attacking its neighbors. Every neighbor state will then try to get into an alliance against such aggression.

No, it isn’t. Yes, you might think that this is a phase going away soon, but if your company is mandating you to use AI, just do it or search for another job.

Now imagine a family that doesn’t have a tech guy like you. You think they would ever be able to install any OS, let alone Linux?

That’s the thing: Many families have a tech guy. The son who knows computers. The neighbor. The dude from work. And yes, if you are able to read, you can install a Linux. It’s not that complicated and there are a lot of really good instructions online.

The numbers kind of add up:

• Statcounter gives you 10%
• Cloudflare gives you 5.7% “Likely human” and 8.9% total
• Steam Hardware Survey shows 4% Linux

So even if it is not 10%, it looks like a solid 5% might be possible.

It’s totally fucked up that one country can approve of a thing that is affecting all other countries. That is stupid and fuck the USA for polluting the sky for all of humanity.

This totally is military tech. The states use case does not make any sense. But if you think about the military uses: You could light up the night in Gaza or Fallujah, making for easier observation of insurgents. Make the sky blink over russian refineries, confusing air defense. Spot sea drones in front of your ports. Eternal sunshine around US military bases and on the Ukrainian front.
