Der Europarat rügt Deutschlands Vorgehen bei Demonstrationen gegen den Gaza-Krieg und auch in Fällen von Kritik an Israel. Die Meinungsfreiheit sei in Gefahr, schrieb Menschenrechtskommissar O'Flaherty an Bundesinnenminister Dobrindt (CSU).
LINMOB.net is a blog about LINux on MOBile devices. With the PinePhone (Pro) and Librem 5 shipping it is back to report on GNU+Linux on mobile devices.
Anyone knows if they’ll have everything upstreamed in the kernel?
Edit: also, if they’ll go through the trouble of getting Google to consider some form of android as verified per the Google play integrity API? (Pls work with the graphene folks)
We’ll go with bare-metal Linux—no Halium, no libhybris. We want to stay as close to mainline as possible and actively contribute upstream.
We’ll develop everything openly. Our policy is to publish code, collaborate with the community, and be transparent. Free software, for us, is a matter of principle—not just legal compliance.
In Bad Freienwalde wurde ein queeres Stadtfest von mutmaßlich Rechtsextremen überfallen. Die örtliche AfD und der CDU-Bürgermeister sagen jetzt: alles halb so schlimm.
Ich will verurteilen. Die Faschos, die angegriffen haben, für hoffentlich offensichtliche Dinge. Die Polizeien, die mal wegen „abstrakter Bedrohungslagen“ oder „zu wenig Sicherheitspersonal“ Veranstaltungen absagen oder vorzeitig beenden lassen, und dann wieder andere Veranstaltungen nicht schützen. Und natürlich die verfickte AfD, die seit Jahren ungestraft und ungehindert hetzt, die Medien, die diese Hetze verbreiten und dabei noch nicht einmal einordnen (insbesondere die Blöd, die ihre eigenen Kampagnen fahren um der AfD zu nicht mehr Einfluss zu verhelfen), die Union, die kräftig Steigbügelhalter spielt und die Rhetorik und Positionen der Faschisten übernehmen, die SPD, die seit 1998 durchgehend mit in der Regierung sitzen und kräftig dazu beigetragen haben, Zustände zu schaffen, in denen die AfD gedeien kann (trifft in ungleich geringerem Maßstab auch auf die Grünen zu) und jeden Vollpfosten, der auf den Scheiß reinfällt, mitmacht und nicht dagegen steht.
Frankly maybe it shouldn’t be able to produce any residential number period. Whether it is made it by accident or not, of all the things that AI does unpredictably, this should be pretty easy to put guard rails up for. In film industry we’re not even allowed to display a phone number that doesn’t fall under the fake list (yes there is one! There is a set range of numbers that are not given out that can be used for film and television).
Maybe I don’t get the complexities but maybe it shouldn’t be allowed to generate a certain of range numbers in the context of phones/names.
Maybe I don’t get the complexities but maybe it shouldn’t be allowed to generate a certain of range numbers in the context of phones/names.
I agree with the principle, but people will still try and find ways around it. Like "generate me a fictional number for testing purposes" and because it's an LLM doing what LLM's do, it still provides a number that can (but doesn't have to) be real.
in film industry we’re not even allowed to display a phone number that doesn’t fall under the fake list
Yeah, same with phone numbers and email addresses for testing purposes in software. Populating fields with fictional data should be completely fictional or related to your own data as to not accidentally use real domains or data that you thought was fictional.
Well, if there's a choice between learning something relatively tedious and completely useless, and something relatively tedious that's urgently needed... I know what I'm going to pick!
Oooh, an installation manual for a 1935 refrigerator!
This blog post is already quite long, so it will omit changes merged for Plasma 6.5 (releasing in October, to be announced in a future post).
With the Plasma 6.2 release, we moved Plasma Dialer and Spacebar to the Plasma release cycle, allowing us to have consistent releases of the two apps. This completes our year long move to having all Plasma Mobile related projects released as part of wider KDE releases, streamlining the work for distributions and taking a load off us on having to maintain a separate release cycle!
In other news, a Fedora spin for Plasma Mobile was released! It will only be targeting devices that can currently boot Fedora (i.e. not ARM phones), but is very exciting nonetheless!
The Plasma Mobile team is happy to announce the developments in the project over the past few months!
Housekeeping This blog post was completed much later than originally planned. In the meantime, several releases have taken place:
Last time i tried plasma mobile it was unbearably slow (even slower then the normal unbearably slow) so i switched to phosh, but I would like to try it again so let's see if these updates made it any more usable.
UPDATE: Honestly i'm impressed, it might be because currently im not running waydroid beside it like i did on my previous Phosh install but it feels very responsive. With the angelfish browser providing a way better experience then firefox. The battery life is still very bad but outside that this could be used as a regular phone.
Don't forget the "I forgot the item existed and will only remember when I stumble on it after buying a new one and looking for a place to store it, so it might as well be lost."
Half the problem with autism and adhd both is difficulty with habit formation and maintenance.
You don’t need habits. You need routines with reliable contextual triggers. They’ll fail from time to time and you will just have to be okay with that, and try to figure out exactly what made them fail when they do so maybe you can fix it going forward. But it will still occasionally fail.
You can’t make a sieve not leak without making it not a sieve.
Triggers are the real key. Like needing to use the bathroom in the morning. Then hang a habit of taking meds right after. You have to look at the habits you already have, and connect new things to that. You can also build new habits, but if they are forced, they won't have a high success rate. I built a habit of looking back into a space I am walking out of when not in my home. I built it on the anxiety of forgetting something. So it stuck. I try to build a habit of letting others talk, but it has no trigger, so it hasn't stuck.
That's why I have my meds, deodorant, shoes, hair brush, and hair ties on/near my coffee table. I make my coffee every morning, sit at the couch and (except brushing my teeth) get ready for the day. I let my brain put things where it'll actually use them.
I just moved a few weeks ago. At my last place all of that was in my kitchen. It's weird how moving changes where my brain wants to do stuff
I put a spare toothbrush and paste in the shower so I see it when I reach for the soap, otherwise it turns invisible. IT'S RIGHT THERE ON THE SINK WHY DON'T YOU SEE IT AND USE IT BRAIN
I've had "helpful" suggestions from so many people insisting that you just need to do something consistently for a few weeks and it magically becomes a habit, otherwise you're just not really trying. Which translates to "Why don't you try not having ADHD?" Yeah thanks a lot 😑
Obviously after preventing you from using the vaccum cleaner for two weeks, the one moment when your brain feels like using it is at night when you can't because people are sleeping
My desktop has a folder called “crap” where when my desktop starts to look cluttered I drag everything into a new folder then put that into the crap folder.
Going through the crap folder is like digging through sedimentary layers of dead shortcuts.lnk and .txt files to get a glimse of the past
I have something similar: a "garbage" folder in my downloads folder, and when I tire of the clutter I put all of it, including "garbage", into a new "garbage" folder. It's garbage all the way down.
I have a "Unsorted-NEW" and "Unsorted-OLD". When everything is too cluttered I rename "Unsorted-NEW" to "Unsorted-Number" and move it to "Unsorted-OLD" along with the previous iterations. Then I make a new "Unsorted-NEW" and put the clutter in it. Which I'm totally going to sort and not just leave there and forget about it until everything's too cluttered again...
...
... ... ... that actually made more sense before I tried to explain 😓
Yes, becoming a zombie for a while then getting bored and just indulging my brain's urge to hyperfocusing on the most pointless things. It's very happy after wasting my evening figuring out how telnet works. There's always a new pointless thing to hyperfocus on, no time for depression. Not much time for anything productive either, but hey, can't have everything 😅
“To facilitate this vetting, all applicants for F, M and J non-immigrant visas will be asked to adjust the privacy settings on all their social media profiles to ‘public’”, the official said. “The enhanced social media vetting will ensure we are properly screening every single person attempting to visit our country.”
Hi, I've a question, that is not a bug report... I think It could be good to have the github tab discussions open for such thing... or do you use another space for that ? Lemmy community or somethi...
I'm not sure why you wouldn't want the ASCII-Draw flatpak, but that's not the only way to get it: - there's a Snap - it can be installed from source - there's also an AUR package
But maybe you're not on Arch, don't like Snaps (can't blame anyone for that) and don't want to install from source (same)? What type of package are you looking for? Only native package? For which distro?

Very resonable (imo) response from Gargron (lead developer of Mastodon):
I’ve forwarded your question to our legal help and will provide an answer as soon as they give it to me. What you must understand is that our lawyers don’t have experience with federated platforms, and we don’t have experience with law, so we meet somewhere in the middle. Meta presumably has an in-house legal team that can really embed themselves in the problem area; our lawyers are external and pro-bono and rely on us to correctly explain the requirements and community feedback. The draft has been around for something like a year and none of the community members pointed out this issue until now. I’ll add one thing:
"My assumption, {.. shortened for brevity ..} is that when you post content it gets mirrored elsewhere, and this continues until a deletion notice is federated. So I'd assume if an instance somewhere mirrors my content they can't get in trouble for it, and I'd also assume that if there is a deletion or maybe a block and a reasonable interpretation of the protocol would say that the content should be removed, I could send them a takedown and at that point they'd have to honor it."
The goal of the terms is to make assumptions like this explicit, because assumptions are risky both sides. Just because luckily there were no frivolous lawsuits around this so far doesn’t mean there isn’t a risk of one.
Cory has had a much more calm response on a fediverse post, offering to reach out to the EFF's lawyers for assistance in drafting a better ToS for Mastodon, and other experienced lawyers have offered help also. Amongst the usual negativity from some users.
I'll be keeping my eye on the outcome but so far it looks positive.
didn't i just see any new sandman season announced though?
I feel like we have to be able to separate artists' bad behavior from our evaluation of the quality of their work.
Maybe there's a time limit? Maybe they have to be dead so they can't benefit from their work being sold.
Are there any non problematic artists/creators from 500 years ago who we nevertheless find their work product valuable to society today? What about science? Especially medicine with all the body snatching.
Neil Gaiman is almost certainly a sex pest based on all the women reporting. So I get not wanting to give him money. He hopefully gets it, too.
Regular call to fzf, but output the index number of the selected entry, instead the text itself. It's a pretty niche use case, but there was a few times in the past when I needed it. You can use options for fzf just normally too.
I always forget how to do this manually, so I made this simple function for Bash. Just copy this like an alias into your .bashrc and use it like any other command in a pipe.

I've been meaning to switch my pc to linux for a while but have only recently gotten enough time to switch. Is there anything that I would need a dualboot for? I was previously concerned with VR, specifically using a quest wirelessly. I heard about a year ago that it is possible but not the best. Has it improved since then?
And is there anything else I would still need a windows machine for? I don't know specifically what doesn't work and I don't mind using FOSS alternatives.
I was running a raspberry pi with raspian on it as a homelab for a few years (until the SD card died 🙁 I still need to fix that) so I am not completely unfamiliar with linux and the terminal and am willing to use it to make programs work as long as they work as well as they would on windows.
(I've decided on swapping to mint if that matters)
Every other time I hear someone mentioning dual booting between Windows and Linux, it's where M$ pushed out some update that borked the dual booting.
Personally, I'd recommend running Windows in a virtual machine instead, or Linux in a virtual machine, your choice whichever OS you want to run as the main host OS..
::: spoiler Alt At the top is a screenshot from Wikimedia Commons showing an image that was updated to a larger size with the comment saying "Improved image". Below it is the goose chasing meme with the goose twice asking "Where did the pixels come from?". :::
The increased "detail" is entirely made up, based off whatever the AI model considers likely to be there based off similar images. AI isn't somehow magically finding pixels that don't exist, it's effectively just guessing them.
I swear, were none of you people around for the LSD dogslugs of early image generation/style matching? Or the slightly newer "this person is not real" portrait generators that would merge hair and glasses, and often give multiple sets of eyes when glasses were at odd angles? This is effectively that with considerably more training data thrown at it.
It's all made up. The AI isn't taking another picture of the object with a higher resolution camera. It's spreading out the existing pixels and doing a best guess to fill in the blanks. Maybe that's fine for a family portait or something (I don't agree, but you do you), but that's definitively not OK for any sort of actual reference material.
Hi! I'm trying out Nix and I'm trying to set up and organize everything. Usually I put all my configs in a directory which is also a git repo and synced to my NAS, using the same subfolders they'd be in, and use GNU Stow to symlink the top-level folders (/dotfiles/home/ to /home/username/, /dotfiles/etc to /etc and /dotfiles/usr to /usr) and let it do its thing. Would it cause problems to also do that for configuration.nix?
On Arch I already had a /dotfiles/etc symlinked to /etc for my custom keyboard layouts, which worked fine... until the update which moved the location of the GUI keyboard layouts. It prevented the update so I undid the symlinks, updated, and put them again to the new location... but somehow it broke everything except the tty and no Wayland compositor I tried would work anymore (and there went my record of having never broken Arch since the first install over a year ago 😅 )
So I'm kinda wary of doing it on an even more critical file... but also I'm very lazy and having everything in a single repo is very convenient... How do you do it?
Yes that's what I'm using, it's really a great program! But I was wondering if configuration.nix being a symlink would cause problems or if it was fine
Edit: Ah someone else already replied that it was fine 🙂
Does anyone here know a self hostable service (or a demo of someone else hosting it) which can split common .cbr filetype to a .cbz or other filetype to split the panels?
So for example the 1 image I put with this post, would be 8 seperate images (pages).
That would ideally somehow make the comic books readable on a (somewhat old) black and white travel-Kobo...
Lol ok sounds like you are suggesting the rich people on my side are actually just friends with the rich people on the side of our sworn enemies!!!!
Trust me as not a rich person, I know my rich people, they would never do that! Only the other side's rich people would and then only because secretly the whole lot of those savages, poors and all want it to even if they claim they don't and the rich are just being the heros in that situation.
By legal standards, it's my understanding that any unlawful release from custody is a "jail break" regardless of the conditions of incarceration. Unjust detainment is a kind of legal threshold intended to assign a determination of legality to any scenario where anyone is taken into custody by state officials or law enforcement, not someone's opinion of whether or not it's fair.
I think progressives never thought about this because we banked on immigration and demographic change allowing us to win culturally and electorally but the issue is immigrants tend to be overwhelmingly male, that is how Trump won actually he won over a lot of Hispanic,Black,Asian and indigenous men who feel humiliated by a new culture, economy and world.
So what can we do rhetorically and policy wise to win more young men over ?
It's not a rhetorical problem. It's a propaganda problem. People aren't being reasoned into right wing politics. It's being beaten into their heads day and night by talk radio, cable news, local news, and YouTube; and this has been going on very deliberately for decades. The right wing powers-that-be have been busily, patiently, creating a massive, pervasive propaganda machine for a long time while the left sat on their hands. We're now seeing the results: a world where the right can do and say literally anything they want without consequence. Their base is very literally brainwashed through brute force repeated messaging that nobody can compete with.
We needed the Democrats to do something about this propaganda machine before it became unstoppable. They already didn't do that.
The best thing any of us can do is try to steer kids away from the propaganda before they get sucked in.
Wow kneejerk pseudo-science enshrined into law because one person out of 10,000,000 used a gun to kill someone. Do you think if he had used a car instead you'd see a similar response? why or why not?
Also, cars are dangerous AF. Tens of thousands of people die a year because of them. Hence why we have licenses and maintenance rules and an unbelievably extensive road system with clear signals and lights.
And despite all these rules, the number of car deaths is much greater then any other cause of death. It's not a lack of rules that are the problem with cars (nor guns).
From today, all new submissions to Nature that are published will be accompanied by referees’ reports and author responses — to illuminate the process of producing rigorous science.
Starting ADHD evaluation for the second time next week. I am really stressed out because this is basically my last shot. I am pretty confident that I have ADHD, but since I also have bipolar, they are just assuming that whatever symptom I am experiencing must be that.
I've been through public healthcare where they discharged me after the intake conversation, because they regard me as too high functioning (did good in school and have a job) and they don't have the capacity. So no help there unless I run my life into the ground. Got declined by my health insurance because they have a clause in fine print saying they don't cover ADHD. So now I am paying out of pocket, blasting most of my savings. The price tag is around $2700. If they discharge me because they think I don't have it, it will "only" be $1900 though.
So now I am stressed out, worried I am just throwing my money out the window. And that I am just wrong. If this doesn't pan out, I don't know what I'll do.
Not really looking for any advice (but they are welcome), just wanted to vent a little.
I support giving users the choice between AI and non-AI services and products.
But workers protesting the use of AI in their industries are dumb in my opinion.
AI is going to change a lot of industries forever and there is almost nothing workers and unions can do currently to actually stop the progress.
I even had seen some worker unions who are protesting AI use, accept working with companies that use AI and I support them, Because they won't be taken seriously if they did not do that.
In short: I think workers should protest workers conditions and wages, rather than protesting technology.

I want to be part of the solution of the problems I see on Lemmy, that is why I opened my alt account at my current server to open new communities while fixing their issues.
I had been informed by the server admin that I should not post more than 5 posts in any local community which is guaranteed to kill my communities on my current server.
I am explaining the backstory here for people to understand my logic for my question.
So, I really appreciate any help here. If anyone can give me good servers to open my communities in.
My current communities: - News: to lower the load on Lemmy. World server and to improve the Fediverse health. - Europe: due to less than optimal moderation actions as documented in "power trippin " community. - Misinformation/ Disinformation: Because there is no community to post research and news about this topic.
Thank you all for your help. I really would appreciate any lead here.

It's time to read theory, comrades! As Lenin says, "Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle." Marxism-Leninism is broken into 3 major components, as noted by Lenin in his pamphlet The Three Sources and Three Component Parts of Marxism: | Audiobook
Dialectical and Historical Materialism
Critique of Capitalism along the lines of Marx's Law of Value
Advocacy for Revolutionary and Scientific Socialism, as well as the theory of Class Struggle.
As such, I created the following list to take you from no knowledge whatsoever of Leftist theory, and leave you with a strong understanding of the critical fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism in an order that builds up as you read. Let's get started!
Section I: Getting Started
What the heck is Communism, anyways? For that matter, what is fascism?
Parenti's characteristic wit is on full display in this historical contextualization and analysis of fascism and Communism. Line after line, Parenti debunks anti-Communist myths. This is also an excellent time to watch the famous speech.
Section II: Historical and Dialectical Materialism
Engels introduces Scientific Socialism, explaining how Capitalism itself prepares the conditions for public ownership and planning by centralizing itself into monopolist syndicates and cartels.
Section III: Political Economy
That's right, it's time for the Law of Value and a deep-dive into Imperialism. If we are to defeat Capitalism, we must learn it's mechanisms, tendencies, contradictions, and laws.
Further analyzes the necessity of Revolution and introduces the economic basis for the withering away of the State.
Section V: National Liberation, De-colonialism, and Solidarity
The revolution will not be fought by individuals, but by an intersectional, international working class movement. Solidarity allows different marginalized groups to work together in collective interest, unifying into a single broad movement. Marxists support the Right of Self-Determination for all peoples and support National Liberation movements against Imperialism.
De-colonialism is essential to Marxism. Without having a strong, de-colonial, internationalist stance, we have no path to victory nor justice. These books are best taken as a pair, read in quick succession.
Section VI: Putting it into Practice!
It's not enough to endlessly read, you must put theory to practice. That is how you can improve yourself and the movements you support. Touch grass!
Mao wrote simply and directly to peasant soldiers during the Revolutionary War in China. This pair of essays equip the reader to apply the analytical tools of Dialectical Materialism to their every day practice.
Common among new leftists is dogmatism over pragmatism. Everyone wants perfection, but dogmatic "left" anti-Communists let perfection become the enemy of progress.
Common among western leftists is fetishization of Marxism, rather than using it as a tool for analysis and social change. This article helps rectify that.
Organizing is a skill. If we are to be successful, we must work to better ourselves.
Congratulations, you completed your introductory reading course!
With your new understanding and knowledge of Marxism-Leninism, here is a mini What is to be Done? of your own to follow, and take with you as practical advice.
Read theory. Don't think that you are done now! Just because you have the basics, doesn't mean you know more than you do. If you have not investigated a subject, don't speak on it!
Aggressively combat white supremacy, misogyny, queerphobia, and other attacks on marginalized communities. Cede no ground, let nobody go forgotten.
Be industrious, and self-sufficient. Take up gardening, home repair, tinkering. It is through practice that you elevate your knowledge.
Learn self-defense. Get armed, if practical. Be ready to protect yourself and others.
Be persistent. If you feel like a single water droplet against a mountain, think of canyons and valleys. With consistency, every rock, boulder, mountain, can be drilled through with nothing but water droplets.
"Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent."
What Is To Be Done? by Vladimir Lenin (Full Audiobook)
This is Lenin’s seminal text on social revolution and how to achieve it, published some 16 years before Russia’s October 1917 Revolution. His plan to overturn the Czar’s ruthless autocratic regime proposes the establishment of a cadre of “professional revolutionaries” with the necessary skills and experience to counter the regime’s secret police.
Lenin derides trade unionists as “wretched amateurs”, arguing that a struggle for simple economic betterment is not enough, nor are patchwork reforms – what is needed is the complete overthrow of the political system. Lenin’s “professional revolutionaries” are not so much ‘shock troops’ of violent rebellion as educated activists who will awaken the workers’ class consciousness, leading them to reject western-style political factions and to work within the Party to achieve the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the October Revolution and the ensuing upheavals of the twentieth century.
Essentially, I'm looking for self-destructing messages. I grab a link, I send it to a family member, they read the information, it's gone after they read it, and all they need to have to interact with it is the original link to the url.
Are there any foss solutions by which to just type out a message, send a link to someone and have it be deleted after they read it?

Milan (Italy) (AFP) – Hardcore supporters of Serie A giants Inter Milan and AC Milan were sentenced to up to 10 years in prison on Tuesday for a range of crimes including criminal conspiracy and murder, following a probe into illegal activities of so-called "ultra" groups.
All 16 people standing trial for a variety of offences, in a fast-track procedure which began in March, were found guilty and handed sentences which added up to 90 years.
The crimes broadly involved activities around the iconic San Siro stadium on matchdays, from ticket touting to control of parking, sales from concession stands and taking payment from people without tickets and letting them into the stadium.
Andrea Beretta was one of three people handed the harshest sentence, the former leading Inter ultra being found guilty of criminal conspiracy aggravated by mafia methods and the murder of fellow top Inter ultra and mobster Antonio Bellocco.
Beretta turned state's witness after stabbing to death Bellocco during an altercation outside a boxing gym in a Milan suburb, weeks before the arrest in September of 19 leading Inter and Milan ultras.
The murder of Bellocco was especially shocking due to his status as a scion of an 'Ndrangheta mafia family, from the southern Italian region of Calabria, which bears his surname.
Beretta was also one of six people to be arrested in April for the murder of notorious ultra and career criminal Vittorio Boiocchi in October 2022.
He stepped up to take over the "Curva Nord" section of the San Siro from Boiocchi who was gunned down outside his house at the age of 69 as part of a power struggle between rival factions.
Beretta and Marco Ferdico -- sentenced to eight years -- used Bellocco's 'Ndrangheta connections to push aside more traditional football hooligans, linked with far-right politics, who were bidding for top billing among the Inter ultras.
Milan's top ultra Luca Lucci was also given 10 years in prison for criminal conspiracy and planning in 2019 the attempted murder of a rival ultra, Enzo Anghinelli.
His right-hand man Daniele Cataldo, judged to be the man who carried out the attack on Anghinelli, was handed the same prison sentence.
The fast-track trial, known as "rito abbreviato", is a legal procedure in Italian law in which defendants are judged on the basis of evidence brought by prosecutors, with no debate of that evidence by legal teams.
The procedure allows trials to be completed in a much shorter space of time than the years it takes for the ordinary judicial procedure, under which the remaining three people arrested in September began their trial in February.
That trio includes Francesco Lucci, who often took charge of the Milan ultras during his brother Luca's frequent problems with the law for offences that include drug trafficking and the assault of an Inter fan who was blinded and later committed suicide.
Neither of the clubs were charged in relation to the crimes, and were awarded 50,000 euros each as civil defendants and damaged parties in the trial.

Do you guys not have a problem with Stremio not being completely open source? It seems like it is proprietary, yet I would argue that it is currently the best way to stream movies and tv shows if you know which add-ons to use.
I use an M1 (Pro 14" 8 core 16GB) with Asahi. It's extremely usable. WiFi is solid. Sound is solid. I never considered keyboard to be an issue... Its not. Things like brigtheness buttons still work. I have a tonne of USB devices and none of them had issues. I don't think the fingerprint reader or the built-in camera work but I can test them if that's a sticking point.
I very much like it and it's easy to switch into OSX if you're so inclined. I do for photo work. I know there are alternatives. I'm working on it.
The things I would warn about: 1) in my experience, battery life is worse. Maybe around 1/2 of what OSX gets. With my overall battery health around 80%, I think I'm getting 4 hours in Asahi.
2) this could actually be a skill issue (Linux newb) but I've had trouble installing certain packages in Fedora and Python and I assume it has to do with the M1 being ARM-based
Edit: remembered some things. As of the newest version, gaming is much MUCH better. I think you can do 720p or on medium or 1080p low with decent frames by just using proton on Stream. That's wild to me.
In case you didn't know, Asahi is the Linux distro designed for Apple Silicon Macs. Its based on Fedora with KDE as the desktop.
I have an M1 I use only with Linux. Pain points : no Thunderbolt, no HDMI, battery life is awful. Otherwise it's a very nice machine. (I'll gonna sell it soon because of the aforementioned pain points)
I use a headless server connected to nothing but an ethernet cable in my basement, and I'd prefer to allow the thing to boot by itself and start up without me needing to unlock the disk encryption every single time I do an update or power back on. Its a Dell 9500t NUC that I'm using it as a server and am wondering whether its possible to encrypt everything still.
I do generally use docker containers, so could I potentially encrypt just the containers themselves, assuming I'm worried about a smash and grab rather than someone keeping the machine powered up and reading my ram?
Großer Fehler. Warum dachte ich, dass das eine gute Idee ist? Jetzt gehts mir wieder scheiße und ich habe nix dabei gewonnen. Werde den gleichen Fehler (hoffentlich) nicht nochmal machen und mich davon schön fern halten.
Das funktioniert so nicht. Als es mir vor 5 Jahren schlecht ging hab ich natürlich die 2000 Jahre vorher zu verantworten. Hab viel geändert mir geht's besser, aber die Welt ist immernoch scheiße und das zieht mich wieder runter. Glaube solange man mit geschultem Blick Probleme auf der Welt sucht, wird man sie auch finden. Außer diese dann komplett auszublenden ist mir noch kein sinnvollerer Kompromiss eingefallen.

Fun Fact: Obwohl „Emoticon“ und „Emoji“ ähnlich klingen und sich beide auf grafische Ausdrucksformen von Emotionen beziehen, sind sie etymologisch nicht miteinander verwandt.
„Emoticon“ ist ein Kofferwort aus dem Englischen, zusammengesetzt aus emotion (Gefühl) und icon (Symbol). „Emoji“ hingegen stammt aus dem Japanischen und bedeutet wörtlich soviel wie „Bildschriftzeichen“. Er setzt sich aus den Schriftzeichen 絵 für „e“ (Bild), 文 für „mon“ (Ausdruck) und 字 für „ji“ (Buchstabe) zusammen.

A London-bound passenger jet crashed in a residential area in the Indian city of Ahmedabad on Thursday, killing at least 265 people on board and on the ground -- but one passenger has miraculously survived.
"Right now, we are running on fumes," Nathaniel Raymond, the lab's executive director, told CNN. "As of July 1, we lay off all of our staff across Ukraine and other teams, and our work tracking the kids officially ends."
The boat also had Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg onboard, and the doctor, Baptiste Andr said that the Israeli authorities mocked and deliberately deprived passengers of sleep, particularly Thunberg.
Full sets of matching cookware. Its almost always a bunch of display junk that never gets used. Buy your stuff as individual pieces, you'll likely have nicer quality. This goes for pots, pans, knives, silverware, spatulas, damn near everything cooking related.
Personal opinion, all-clad is overrated. Their skillet/saucepan handles are shit and hurt to hold for longer cooking sessions.
Women might feel the need to "compensate" for their faces and overall bodies but there's no dick equivalent. A flat chested cutie will still be many people's cup of tea, but no one prefers a micropenis. I'm not sure the people who buy the big American trucks have small penises necessarily, they might just be overall insecure and need a very visible sign of status.
You tell me! You asked, so it seems like you have a different definition. Also I'm not the op you originally asked, I'm not going to answer for them, but seems they were very clear.
Whether they mean the same and how society accepts definitions of words are completely different. Do you call your mom a female or a woman? Because female would be insulting in my opinion.
In a more scientific environment absolutely female and woman could mean exactly the same and have no difference. But in society if you call a woman a female I would not care if she slapped the shit out of you.
The Madleen and its crew attempted to challenge Israel’s genocide and this cruel and inhumane policy of using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare and collective punishment.
Let's be real; everyone on board knew there was no chance the ship would be allowed to moor and offload its goods. It was a photo op. But still a good one since it helps show what Israel is doing in Gaza. They also knew there was very little chance of them actually getting hurt as Israel does care about optics when it involves high profile foreigners. The second they kill someone like Greta all hell would break loose. Which is in sad, stark contrast to the thousands of innocents they've killed with nary a peep from the rest of the world.

So fucking sick of countries like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran suppressing freedom of speech.
It's also no surprise that morons on the american left are now saying that freedom of speech is a dogwhistle for the right. They truly are stupid beyond belief for not learning from the nations that don't have freedom of speech.
That's sort of how it works though isn't it? If games at $80 are too much then less people will buy, profits will drop and publishers will either lower prices, or vanish and get replaced by ones that lower prices.
I'm not going to bother reading the article, because you can both be anti-capitalist and participate in the system as it exists today. The developers can't pay rent with good vibes.
They should also stop subscribing to dumb shit like netflix and spotify. Instead of using doordash, they should get comfortable making their own meals.
We can't expect the system to change unless a majority of its participants are willing to change.
It's a cultural problem, and people like you are doing your part to make sure it never gets solved.
I think it has more to do with how much they're charging rather than them charging anything at all.
i.e. They're maximizing profit off of people's low standards by charging the most people are willing to pay while giving the least they're willing to accept.
If this honestly had to be spelled out for you and you're not just being willfully ignorant, you should really get some remedial education before shitting on others.
Nah, I loved The Outer Worlds. It gave me exactly what I wanted from the setting, it made me laugh, and it wasn't bogged down in bloat by trying to be any bigger than it ought to have been.
Lol, the cognitive dissonance of whining about capitalism because their vidya game got a little more expensive. Not only is the entitlement and hypocrisy off the charts, there are so many ways to play games for cheap and/or free, the criticism is entirely moot. Don't like the price a company is asking for for an entirely optional commodity? Don't fucking pay it. It's not that hard.
I've been interested in trying this game out ever since they posted some early gameplay footage over a year ago. Looks kind of like a mix between Star Citizen (in and out of ship gameplay), Helldivers (4 player co-op/PvE missions), and Sea of Thieves.
Jump Ship is a mission based co-op PvE for up to 4 players, where you are the crew of a spaceship. Transition seamlessly from crewing the ship to on-foot exploration and space walks.
If they ever actually finish the fucking thing, or provide even half of the features they promised. Honestly fuck SC, why would you wanna support a business model like this, do you want everyone to follow this strategy?
It's a very lazy product created by a team without the skill to make something like Star Citizen. If they ever tried, they would be over a decade behind along with everyone else in the industry.

If you look at it critically, Dragon Age Origins and Awakening are really the only good games in the series.
It went to shit, fast. Now they're just pandering to the wrong people expecting it to save their game when everyone who was interested in the original has long since moved on.
This game felt like it was written by 2 different groups of writers, who also hated each other. The first group wrote about a world where everything was dying and dark.
The second group was a PR team, who wrote about “wouldn’t it be fun to go camping!” And “the pirates and assassins are unambiguously good”.
It's on Bioware not EA. This is the third flop out of Bioware, and the post mortems for the past failures have all indicated that Bioware's management has a dumpster fire for years, with EA often uncharacteristically serving as a voice of reason to protect them from their own mistakes. For example, it was EA that got them to include the flying in Anthem, the only fun part of the gameplay. Unfortunately, in the case of Andromeda and Dragon Age 4, EA's mistake may have been giving Bioware's management so much rope that they hung themselves.
I don't get EA/Bioware. Fantasy is consistently more popular than scifi. Inquisition was their best selling game. Yet DA was never treated like a heavyweight like Mass Effect. My expectations tanked when David Gaider left
Was it? Even if it was, you have to consider the cost and time that goes into making it.
Also, where's the post-release monetization? Like it or not, fantasy games made for smart people unfortunately are held to the same standard as sports games made for morons.
It’s silly to compare Switch 2 sales to Steam Deck sales.
The Switch 2 is a locked-down, vertically integrated platform. There are no ROG Switch 2s. No Lenovo Switch 2s. No Switch laptops or tower PCs with discrete GPUs. If you want to play Mario Kart World, your only option is to buy a Switch 2. Period.
Steam Deck, by contrast, isn’t a platform. It’s just one hardware option—one entry point into the sprawling, open ecosystem known as PC gaming.
Every year, around 245 million PCs are shipped globally. If even 20–25% of those are gaming-focused, that’s 49–61 million gaming PCs annually. Steam Deck is a sliver of that. So of course it won’t outsell a console that’s the only gateway to a major IP.
But that’s exactly the point.
PC gaming is too decentralized for any single device to dominate. The last “PC” that did was the Commodore 64, which sold 12.5–17 million units over 12 years because it was a self-contained platform, unlike modern Windows, Mac, or Linux machines.
That the Steam Deck has sold 4 million units despite competing with every other gaming PC in existence is remarkable. It didn’t just sell—it legitimized a category. Handheld PC gaming is now a thing. That’s why Lenovo, ASUS, and MSI have followed. Even Microsoft is getting in, optimizing Windows for handhelds—something they would never have done if the Steam Deck didn't hold their feet to the fire.
So no, Steam Deck didn’t outsell the Switch 2. It didn’t need to.
Hey everyone, this is Olga, the product manager for the summary feature again. Thank you all for engaging so deeply with this discussion and sharing your thoughts so far.
Reading through the comments, it’s clear we could have done a better job introducing this idea and opening up the conversation here on VPT back in March. As internet usage changes over time, we are trying to discover new ways to help new generations learn from Wikipedia to sustain our movement into the future. In consequence, we need to figure out how we can experiment in safe ways that are appropriate for readers and the Wikimedia community. Looking back, we realize the next step with this message should have been to provide more of that context for you all and to make the space for folks to engage further. With that in mind, we’d like to take a step back so we have more time to talk through things properly. We’re still in the very early stages of thinking about a feature like this, so this is actually a really good time for us to discuss here.
A few important things to start with:
Bringing generative AI into the Wikipedia reading experience is a serious set of decisions, with important implications, and we intend to treat it as such.
We do not have any plans for bringing a summary feature to the wikis without editor involvement. An editor moderation workflow is required under any circumstances, both for this idea, as well as any future idea around AI summarized or adapted content.
With all this in mind, we’ll pause the launch of the experiment so that we can focus on this discussion first and determine next steps together.
We’ve also started putting together some context around the main points brought up through the conversation so far, and will follow-up with that in separate messages so we can discuss further.
Summarization is one of the things LLMs are pretty good at. Same for the other thing where Wikipedia talked about auto-generating the "simple article" variants that are normally managed by hand to dumb down content.
But if they're pushing these tools, they need to be pushed as handy tools for editors to consider leveraging, not forced behavior for end users.
This is what I'm constantly criticizing. It's fine to have more options, but they should be options and not mandatory.
No, having to scroll past an AI summary for every fucking article is not an 'option.' Having the option to hide it forever (or even better, opt-in), now that's a real option.
I'd really love to see the opt-in/opt-out data for AI. I guarantee businesses aren't including the option or recording data because they know it will show people don't want it, and they have to follow the data!

Good. I don't really care about youtube, but less censorship is always a good thing.
How can you people say you respect science when you support silencing any criticism of it? That's not science. That's religion.
That said, this criteria clearly only exists to protect "influencers" who make youtube a proportional amount of money. If you have a channel with very little traffic and you say something controversial, you'd better believe your "freedom of expression value" will not be high enough to outweigh the corporation's perceived "harm risk."
We need to stop normalizing banning people for how they vote.
Here's the problem though. I’ve been a victim of downvote brigades. It usually starts with someone downvoting every single post in one of my communities. Fine, maybe they don’t like my politics. But then it spreads. They start hitting every community I run, even the non-political ones, and downvote everything I post. Eventually, they downvote every single post I make anywhere, just because it’s me.
Some people genuinely get joy out of doing that. They don’t read the post or care about the content. They just see a name they don’t like and hit downvote.
I’m not making this up. I saw it happen over and over. That’s why banning users based solely on voting behavior became a feature. It was needed.
So I started banning people who only showed up to downvote and never contributed. Once I did that, they stopped bothering those communities. They knew they couldn’t mess with me anymore.
Since then, serial downvoting has dropped across the Fediverse. People figured out they could get banned for it.
It wasn’t about disagreeing with information. It was about targeting people. I’m not saying OP did that, but that’s the pattern I’ve seen.
I personally would like to see votes be eliminated for the entire fediverse so the vote manipulators have no way to try to shape narratives.
I think you're making it out to be a bigger deal than it actually is.
Also, you put too much value into the meaning of votes.
This is a disgusting precedent and we should be fighting back against it. Hell, people were literally coming here because reddit was banning them for how they voted.
Why is it so difficult for average people to not be pieces of shit in positions of power? Learn to deal with criticism.
I think you’re making it out to be a bigger deal than it actually is.
Well, the developers did make it a feature to be able to ban based on voting.
We didn't always have that feature, it's relatively new. So I guess there were enough people asking for it that it became a thing. Also, you yourself mentioned that you were troubled at seeing the "normalization" of the practice, so obviously there are enough people seeing it as an issue that you have noticed it.
Also, you put too much value into the meaning of votes.
Again, I'd love if Lemmy got rid of the option to upvote/downvote. And just for background, I once had a guy who would take screen shots of how many dowvotes I had on my posts, then post that screenshot, and laugh about it and use that to argue to others that they should just bully me off of Lemmy. I won't say his name here, but he still mentions my name a lot. lol
Learn to deal with criticism.
There's criticism, and then there's the weird stalker types that seem to be on Lemmy that become serial downvoters. There are even some that create downvoting bots. Yeah, bots just to downvote. That has also been an issue that admin had to work on.
Yeah, we need to make sure people like you and ideas like yours infest as few communities as possible.
You're clearly not mature enough to handle anonymous discourse on the internet, so you need to have tools in place to abuse your power against those you don't like.
I'm going to ignore you now. Hopefully we don't have to cross paths again and I never have the displeasure of seeing one of your censored communities.

I thought I hated capsicum most of my life but lately (past my mid 30s) I've come to actually really like it raw. As in salads or sandwiches. I'm enjoying that. As a child my parents would add it frequently to meals but it would always be cooked and I was never a fan.
Or mushrooms for example. I love them almost any way except preserved. If they came from inside a tin or jar with long shelf life the taste is just horrendous.
Similar for artichokes, they must be fresh.
I love sesame seeds, but I absolutely hate sesame seed oil and I can't understand why. The taste is so different.
Based on the README and that article, the founder sounds like he is deep into conspiracy theories and is an anti-vaccine MAGA person.
Not to downplay the problems on xorg and I am happy it's getting forked, but wtf is up with "No DEI" "Make X great again" in the README... Doesn't convince me at all that this project is going to stay intact and upkept on the long term.
Edit: added some words
Edit2: yeah okay, he's a complete nutjob and a shitty person. See link below
Seriously though, fuck this guy and his project. Refuse to support it. In fact, use an alt account to introduce subtle bugs and flaws to the codebase if you can. It’s always a good day to fuck with Nazis. And this right here is a project run by a Nazi.
Edit: if anyone dares to whinge about “getting political” with my comment in this community: this is a screencap of the fucking README.MD. It’s an inherently, overtly political commentary in the project that’s clearly friendly to an authoritarian regime. Fuck all that noise.
What? You might want to think about what you said for like 2 more seconds. Why on earth would I not hate or even help someone who aligns themselves with a Nazi? You can absolutely hate the creation of a tool based on the political reasons it is being created.
I don't need a project to explicitly say they are DEI inclusive, I generally don't care who is contributing, but when you explicitly state you are against it in the README of your project that is just wild. The only divide I'm increasing by saying I don't support or respect people who choose to, and makes it very clear they are, excluding people based on diversity is a divide they've created for themselves. Especially when it's a fucking open source software project, like wtf does DEI have to do with it that the owner has to bring it up to begin with if not to intentionally hurt someone.
I dunno, we've seen corporations come at each other many times before.
Most of you people won't understand this, but copyright and patent laws aren't going to be around forever. They don't help the working class and it's only a matter of time before new generations rise above our tunnel vision and indoctrination.
I mean, just look at this case a prime example. Who is the one suing? Disney. Who stands to benefit? Disney.
Are the random joe's suing? No, they can't afford it. The laws do not exist to protect them. It's another reason why we never see big corporations challenge copyright and patent laws. They know they make more money with them.
They got that money because of strong enforcement of copyright protections.
Without copyright laws, everyone could've just shared Disney's shit without fear of repercussion and they would have billions less while we collectively have billions more.
The Food and Drug Administration is planning to use artificial intelligence to “radically increase efficiency” in deciding whether to approve new drugs and devices, one of several top priorities laid out in an article published Tuesday in JAMA.
Another initiative involves a review of chemicals and other “concerning ingredients” that appear in U.S. food but not in the food of other developed nations. And officials want to speed up the final stages of making a drug or medical device approval decision to mere weeks, citing the success of Operation Warp Speed during the Covid pandemic when workers raced to curb a spiraling death count.
“The F.D.A. will be focused on delivering faster cures and meaningful treatments for patients, especially those with neglected and rare diseases, healthier food for children and common-sense approaches to rebuild the public trust,” Dr. Marty Makary, the agency commissioner, and Dr. Vinay Prasad, who leads the division that oversees vaccines and gene therapy, wrote in the JAMA article.
The agency plays a central role in pursuing the agenda of the U.S. health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and it has already begun to press food makers to eliminate artificial food dyes. The new road map also underscores the Trump administration’s efforts to smooth the way for major industries with an array of efforts aimed at getting products to pharmacies and store shelves quickly.
Some aspects of the proposals outlined in JAMA were met with skepticism, particularly the idea that artificial intelligence is up to the task of shearing months or years from the painstaking work of examining applications that companies submit when seeking approval for a drug or high-risk medical device.
“I don’t want to be dismissive of speeding reviews at the F.D.A.,” said Stephen Holland, a lawyer who formerly advised the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on health care. “I think that there is great potential here, but I’m not seeing the beef yet.”
At least 17 Palestinians have been killed and dozens more wounded after Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd of displaced Palestinians waiting for food near a distribution site operated by the Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in central Gaza, local health authorities said.
Doctors said casualties were sent to the Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza and Al-Quds Hospital in the north.
Massacres of Palestinians near GHF sites have become almost a daily occurrence since the organisation started operating at the end of May, with hundreds of people being killed and wounded by Israeli troops.
Medics say Israeli forces shot dead dozens of Palestinians on Tuesday in the latest in a string of massacres near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation facilities.
Man... I've never even used anything but Xorg (I rarely use Linux; I just use it on a media server and I haven't needed to touch that thing in so long). This Wayland thing must be pretty good.
Hong Kong (AFP) – Hong Kong police have warned downloading a mobile game in which players can attempt to overthrow a stand-in for China's Communist Party could constitute a national security crime, as it vanished from Apple's local App Store Wednesday.
Beijing is extremely sensitive to even subtle hints of dissent, and in 2020 imposed a national security law in Hong Kong that has effectively quashed any political opposition.
In "Reversed Front: Bonfire", developed by a Taiwan-based company, users can "pledge allegiance" to entities including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet and "Uyghur" to "overthrow the communist regime".
Although the game takes place in a historically different universe, the description reads: "This game is a work of NON-FICTION. Any similarity to actual agencies, policies or ethnic groups of the PRC (People's Republic of China) in this game is INTENTIONAL."
On Tuesday police in Hong Kong said "Reversed Front" was "advocating armed revolution" and promoting Taiwan and Hong Kong independence "under the guise of a game".
Downloading the game could see players charged with possessing seditious material, while making in-app purchases could be viewed as providing funding to the developer "for the commission of secession or subversion", police warned.
Recommending the game could constitute the offence of "incitement to secession".
Although players can choose to "lead the Communists to defeat all enemies", the game description makes clear they are meant to be the villains.
The Communists are described as "heavy-handed, reckless and inept" and accused of "widespread corruption, embezzlement, exploitation, slaughter and defilement".
Many of the other playing roles correspond to flashpoint issues for Beijing -- including self-ruled Taiwan, which China claims as its territory, and Xinjiang, where it has denied accusations of human rights abuses against the minority Muslim Uyghurs.
Hong Kong's vibrant civil society and political opposition have all but vanished since the imposition of the national security law, which was brought in after huge and sometimes violent pro-democracy protests in 2019.
OpenAI last week said it had detected and banned a number of "likely China-origin" accounts targeting "Reversed Front" with negative comments.
"The network generated dozens of critical comments in Chinese about the game, followed by a long-form article claiming it had received widespread backlash," said OpenAI.
On Wednesday Apple appeared to have removed the game from the Hong Kong version of the App Store, after it had been available the day before, an AFP reporter saw.
It was not available on Hong Kong's Google Play on Tuesday, local media reported.
But the game's developer said it had seen a surge in searches since Tuesday's police announcement, jokingly implying it was thankful to authorities for the visibility boost.
