Das ist mal eine Verwendung meiner Steuergelder, die ich unterstütze.

Fun fact (I read online without verifying it): Truth Social is a fork of Mastodon.

Sahil Lavingia — an engineer, tech startup founder and CEO of Gumroad, an e-commerce platform for content creators

Thanks for the article, now I know what kind of person leads Gumroad: A DOGE lackey.

Edit:

Lavingia wrote that he wanted to work at DOGE to make an impact, noting that he previously canvassed for Bernie Sanders’ presidential run in 2016.

And he has no political backbone.

WIRED previously reported on the alarm bells Lavingia and his work set off for VA employees worried about DOGE’s lack of understanding of the agency and disregard for normal procedures.

“In meetings with the Office of the CTO, I discovered ambitious ongoing software projects like reducing veterans' benefits claims processing from 133 days to under a week,” wrote Lavingia. “I also learned that several of VA's code repos were already open-source, and the world's first electronic health record system, VistA, was built by VA employees over 40 years ago.”

And he is an idiot to boot, with no prior knowledge of the agency he tried to trim down.

Have they also lifted the target restrictions? There's a bridge I really really really want to see in the water.

This meme fits

But the truth is of course that they know their lies are just that. They just don't care. They are trying to create an alternative reality, just how Trump managed to with his supporters.

He is right, but most will choose convenience. And I do believe that people in the future will suffer for it. The brain is like a muscle; you have to use it to keep your mind sharp. I fear that in the future will lack critical thinking or frustration tolerance because AI makes it so easy.

[–] Quacksalber 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That will happen to most "artforms" or jobs that require research. I notice that on myself as well. I now ask an AI for regex stringsor when I want to implement a function I'm unsure about, I ask an AI to see what they are doing first. Critical thinking is still involved, but less than it used to.

Two more months to go and more than 50% left to reach 1 million signatures. It's sad to see that with how many people game, this petition has so little reach. I guess we'll have to wait till Fortnite is shut down, then suddenly many more will care that their childhood game is gone forever.

Well, he had to be, programming his own AI basically by himself.

Just a heads-up for everyone in the EU, there currently is a petition going until the 17th to get the EU to ban conversion therapy. The petition still needs massive numbers of supporters, so it is likely to fail. Still, I wanted to share with you an easy method to support a more inclusive EU!

 

The full-scale images are still mostly broken on the default web client, producing only the default broken image placeholder. Is there any timeline to fix this issue?

 

Since the update, the local image mirror for federated images seems to be broken. The default web client however still tries to load the full-resolution images from the local mirror, leading to requests to the local mirror returning the default broken-image image. Please either fix the local mirror or have the web client load the federated images directly.

 

Livestreamer Staiy, der hauptsächlich durch Reaction Content bekannt geworden ist, seit ein paar Jahren aber auch den politischen Kanal "Meinungsmache" betreibt, auf dem er von Links politische Ereignisse kommentiert, hat für die Bundestagswahl viele Parteivertreter zum Interview eingeladen.
Bei Ihm zu Gast waren Vertreter der Grünen, der Linken, Volt, der Piraten, SPD und der Partei der Humanisten.

Angefangen hat er am 06.02. mit Robert Habeck, am 10. hat Felix Banaszak, der Bundesvorsitzender der Grünen, noch offene Fragen zu dem Wahlkampf der Grünen zu beantwortet. Gestern, am Tag vor den Wahlen, fand dieses Interview statt, weil das Team um Habeck von sich aus noch einen Termin angefragt hatte.

Die Interviews der Vertreter der anderen Parteien findet man natürlich auf dem selben Kanal, "Meinungsmache".

 

I wanted to ask if it was possible, in any way, to have the convenience of just having to sync a single passwords file, while also having the security of putting more sensitive login credentials behind a different or additional passwords?

On my computer, I usually have KeePassXC unlocked for the entirety of being logged in. So if my computer were to be compromised, the attacker would not only get access to relatively unimportant accounts, like this Lemmy account, but also highly important ones, like my email or bank login credentials. So I'd like to split my passwords file into multiple "files", where the unimportant logins are permanently unlocked for convenience, while the more sensitive login credentials remain encrypted until I actually need them.

However, I also am fucking lazy and I know that I won't be able to keep up with the hassle of keeping multiple passwords files synced. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to keep the convenience of having just a single file that you need to sync, while also making use of the security that splitting up the passwords file brings.

Currently I use KeePassXC on my desktop and KeePass2Android on my phone, but I'd be willing to switch to other software, if the benefits are there.

 

"Table Media" hatte unter Berufung auf Parteikreise berichtet, Sekmen habe aus Enttäuschung über die grüne Wirtschaftspolitik schon vor Wochen Kontakt zur CDU aufgenommen.

Sekmen hat türkische Wurzeln - ihr Vater ist als Jugendlicher nach Deutschland gekommen.

"Wir brauchen eine Debattenkultur, in der Menschen ihre Meinung und ihre Sorgen sagen können, ohne in Schubladen gesteckt zu werden", sagte Sekmen. "Diese Stimmen müssen aus einer starken Mitte und nicht aus den extremen Rändern der Politik kommen." Menschen über ihr Tun, ihr Wirken und nicht über ihre Herkunft zu definieren, dafür stehe für sie das neue Grundsatzprogramm der CDU, so die Politikerin.

 

After having spent some time on Lemmy and learning of the intricacies of the different Lemmy instances, I think the landing page for the Lemmyverse could do with some streamlining. I remember that back when I joined, the only information I used to decide on an instance to join was the user count, the signup policy and the instance name. Now, coming from the instance with the best name, I can't say that I've regretted my choice, but for new people looking to join Lemmy, crucial information that would help them join the instance best suited for them is still missing.

To provide that information, I want to suggest the creation of multiple categories, in which instance owners are encouraged to describe their instance. Instances that provide a description for each category are then ranked higher on the join-lemmy.org website.

The following categories would, in my opinion, help new users decide on an instance to join:

Content Policy
This category could describe what kind of content the instance wants to specialize in. Whether that be sports, games, specific sports teams or games, NSFW content, meme content, etc.

Signup Policy
The website already shows whether an application needs to be filled out, but it doesn't show what is expected of the applicant. A category describing what exactly the instance would like to see in their new users would help those users decide, if that instance is for them or not.
As an example, an instance focussed on a certain language could inform users, that they expect an application in that language.

Community creation Policy
Here, instances could describe what rules they have around community creation. Small instances could, for example, clarify in this category, that they would only want to host niche communities without much traction at most. Other servers could specify that they would only want to host unique communities, not copies of or communities closely related to communities already existing on other instances.

Federation Policy
Here instance owners could clarify their stance on what other instances they are willing or not willing to federate with. To give an example, instances could describe their stance on federating with other instances hosting NSFW content, possibly illegal content (lemmy.world and /c/piracy), overly political content, and so on and so forth.

Lastly, some statistics could be added to show the health of the instance: Active user to inactive user ratio, active user to report ratio, active user/report to mod action ratio, community engagement ratio, uptime, server software version and so on.

With these categories, I can say that if I were to join the Lemmyverse today, I'd be able to make a much more informed decision on what instance to join.

 

I'd like to use a mod that allows me to create crafting bills that only trigger when I have more than X resources in storage. As an example, if I set up a bill that requires 4 Components, I'd like to set a limit of 50 Components, so that items only get crafted, if I have more than 50 Components in storage. Does anyone know of a mod that allows this constraint to be set?

 

Frankreich ist derzeit das einzige EU-Land mit Atomwaffen, seit Großbritannien die EU verlassen hat. Paris hatte anderen EU-Partnern Gespräche über eine europäische atomare Abschreckung angeboten. Lindner betonte, auch Deutschland müsse sich fragen, welchen Beitrag es zu leisten bereit sei. Solange es Nuklearwaffen auf der Welt gebe, werde Europa an einem System der nuklearen Abschreckung festhalten müssen, um nicht schutzlos der Erpressung autoritärer Staaten ausgeliefert zu sein.

 

I think the analysis done in the video is spot-on and I hope that it finds its way into the mainstream media and to the people in power. The only way to not have the Ukraine war spiral into a blood bath even more than it is now, and threaten to pull Europe and by extention the US into the conflict, is to adequately support Ukraine's military, so they can win.
