You can fuck right off with your "pawn for the West", you tankie cockroach.

I live in Ukraine (I am originally from Donbas no less). Let's hope you end up in the Izolyatsia camp in occupied Donetsk oblast. You're word salad about "Ukraine being a pawn" isn't going to help you there. They are not going to care that you helped spread russian propaganda.

You don't speak Ukrainian, you've never lived in Ukraine and you have no clue what you are talking about.

While I genuinely understand where you're coming from, his kid will almost certainly grow up to be a russian genocidal imperialist.

Snowden exposed Palantir?

You Americans really need some heroes. Snowden might have done some good, but as soon as things got hot he folded like a cheap lawn chair and openly supported russian genocidal imperialism.

I hope Snowden and his family (his wife and kid) meet the same fate as they wish for Ukrainians in internment camps in the occupied territories.

Fuck Glenn Greenwald. He is a russian shill and supports russian genocidal imperialism.

I hope one day he meets the same fate as "Donbas cowboy", Russell Bentley:

Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, then claimed that Russian soldiers from a tank battalion abducted him.

According to the Investigative Committee, Vansyatsky, Agaltsev, and Iordanov tortured Bentley on April 8, and he died shortly afterward.

Vansyatsky and Agaltsev are suspected of blowing up a car with Bentley’s body in it and ordering Bazhin to get rid of what was left of his remains.

Instead, the AR glasses maker finally revealed that Aura won’t be processing data on the glasses itself. It will instead use a separate, tethered, puck-like device that sits in your pocket. Like Xreal’s other products, such as its recent One Pro, the glasses have the in-built wire, though you’ll be able to disconnect from the processing device if you want to store the glasses and puck separately.

This does not seem viable.

Are you serious? The KGB has full access to VK.

Or course everything that is posted on this shit service will be fully tracked.

For me personally, the problem is not so much LLMs and/or ML solutions (both of which I actively use), but the fact this industry is largely led by American tech oligarchs. Not only are they profoundly corrupt and almost comically dishonest, but they are also true degenerates.

The readme doesn't inspire confidence.

There are distro, even user friendly ones, that follow this philosophy.

For SBCs I can recommend DietPi. It is extremely minimal and optimized for SSH/CLI based management with no extra bullshit. That being said they have excellent defaults and very well developed, spartan yet highlight optimized tools for system management.

I would go as far as arguing that true minimalism is not about tailoring your SBC/computer, but having a system that's really focused and with a defined vision.

!retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org is pretty solid.

This is is brutal, especially the interview with Shuttleworth:

To the question "How was your university?", I answered that it wasn't prestigious, and pretty small and rural, as we could see cows from the windows. Shuttleworth immediately interrupted me to say "don't play games, don't try to muddle your answers. I'm interviewing you for a senior position, I'm asking you questions, I'm expecting straight answers." I was so flabbergasted that instead of answering properly ("As I'm interviewing for a senior position, I'm expecting proper senior position related questions."), I gave a meek "Okay…" Some parts of the conversation were equally awkward and filled with an unhealthy amount of salt, especially about upstart ("They're a reason why Chromebooks are using it", the reasons are mostly technical debt, not technical excellence.), mir ("Wayland has the same design flaws as Xorg"), … At some point, someone bought him a plate, and he started to eat, without excusing himself about doing so. I asked him why he would spend time interviewing prospective employees in non-executive positions, let alone individual contributors, as this is likely eating a lot of his time, given that Canonical currently has around 1200 employees. He told me that he like to know who is hired, and that this process allows to root out average candidates. After 40 minutes out of a 60 minutes scheduled interview, Shuttleworth said "Ok, nice talking to you, have a nice day," and abruptly ended the interview. I seriously thought about withdrawing my application, as I really didn't want to work with him, but since the position was only senior IC, odds are that I wouldn't have to, so I didn't retract it.

Perhaps this can a driver of sorts for Peertube.

It's a good thing that I can't stand video tutorials or reviews (with the exception of video games).

Can't speak for the US, but in Ukraine digital IDs are very helpful. You of course don't use them on random sites (you can't even if you wanted to), but they are great for all sorts of services and links to other government digital services (e.g. healthcare).

Can we require all Lemmy tankies to also be required IDs to access the internet and always use their real names in social media?

Since they approve of China's policies, they should have no problem with this, right?

Fascinating article. I thought the automated pointless commit system (basic time and date updates) to the give the illusion of activity was funny.

Thanks for sharing!

Fascinating stuff.

I do think there will eventually be pushback against the current oligarch model of technology, but it is likely I will be much older when it happens.

Just the nature of history. We are pretty early in the information age.

Just get a mid-range Samsung device and remove the relevant apps and get a custom launcher.

Or get a Fairphone if you can afford it.

Got me on that one! I forgot about WhatsApp.

For what it's worth I didn't have it logged in until last week when I needed to get in touch with someone.

I will need to log out.

I am aware of hardmode, I used to use NoScript.

It's a bit too much work these days.
