I see you there random Krita user! Shill baby, shill!

Well I don't know about that. Maybe if this current outrage gets enough people to engage in internal party politics the DNC can be reformed? I'm honestly not too knowledgeable about that area of US politics, but my understanding as a layperson was that there isn't really anything (except for party-internal conflict obviously) preventing registered democrats from trying to reform or even replace the DNC.

But even if that is possible not sure if it would be fast enough. There are probably a host of different internal elections involved to gain the required influence, and the next national midterms elections are probably way beyond Trumps deadline for going completely mask off "I'm your dictator now"-fascist.

privitize

Lol I know you mean "privatize", but I'm gonna start using this word synonymously to "enshittification" now. :D

Isn't Karma essentially just the delta between upvotes and downvotes you get with some sort of weighting thrown in?

Because you can very much get that delta on here, it just isn't visible in the default Lemmy interface. If you look at your account through an Mbin frontend for example you can see the "Reputation points" value in the sidebar: https://fedia.io/u/@wittycomputer@feddit.org

As the link in the post body explains you may direct your complaints to https://old.reddit.com/user/HEPS_08 of the r/stalker subreddit, although I'm sure they have heard about it in these past four years.

I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know who or what that is and I deliberately chose to ignore the likely sarcasm, but feel free to enlighten me.

Like I agree it is a better message in the edit, but I fear a lot of people are not ready to hear that yet and still need to work through the original before coming around to this... Still stuck in denial and whatnot.

So.. "man doesn't exploit man"? Sounds good!

What we see here coming from the monarchy is not a meaningful gesture of alliance. That’s what I’m bitter about.

They aren't allowed to make any meaningful gesture of alliance, that was my entire point. There have literally been wars fought specifically to take these responsibilities away from them. The ball is in the parliaments court now.

What does the word ‘Commonwealth’ even mean if the British monarchy can’t say that and mean it.

A loose collection of anglophone colonies and their motherland. Its importance declined along with the power of the British monarchy. Which didn't really bother anyone so far because there were things like the five eyes and NATO to fill the gap.

Well if by they you mean the monarchy, I think symbolic actions are about all they have been relegated to do at this point in history, and they seem to be crushing that:

In the royal tradition, a sword like this is seen as a symbol of sovereignty. The Senate originally commissioned the sword to the[!] mark the change of reign from Elizabeth to Charles.

They are telling you that you are on your own and better look for reliable alliances fast.

As far as my limited understanding of Commonwealth and UK politics goes the monarch does actually have some pretty extensive rights, but they come along with a damn near 100% chance of a constitutional crisis if enacted.

So if you are looking for something more material I believe the executive and legislative branches of the respective governments are your tree to bark up at. The monarchy seems to be doing all they can in this particular instance.

Which is not much, in that we agree, but symbols are not worthless either. There is a reason every monarchy, religion, and ideology has used them throughout history.

For many European languages and some non-European ones there is the CEFR, so you could look for an "A1" or "A2" level language course in whatever you want to learn. They aim to establish exactly this basic level of communication.

Feels like decades though...

The other reply you already got pretty much sums up how I feel about Merkel, not a fan exactly. But I'd like to add one specific thing she has my respect for.

During the refugee crisis of 2015 there was a point where her side of the political aisle was approaching hysteria. There were hundreds of thousands of people streaming into the EU from all over the middle east and north Africa, crowds at every major train station and border crossing, normal refugee infrastructure way beyond the point of collapse. So conservatives were starting to seriously argue for the suspension of asylum rights, closing borders, etc. And Merkel was usually one to wait stuff like this out, see what possible consensus forms and then adopt it as if it was her idea all along. But not this time. She saw it starting to gain traction, just came out publicly and said "We will manage this", and that was that for her. Discussion died immediately.

I may not respect much of what she did before or after, but taking that stance at that moment as clearly as she did, that I respect her for.

Read the policies yourself

I suggest reading this diff to the FAQs instead, paints a much clearer picture:

https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/commit/d459addab846d8144b61939b7f4310eb80c5470e

Basically removes all the language about not selling data and some about privacy. Down in the comments someone argues this is due to a narrow legal definition of that language in certain jurisdictions, but that couldn't sound more like an empty excuse if they tried. Actually all the reactions from Mozilla I have seen on this so far sound like pure corpo PR bullshit to me.

Seconded, best history channel on Youtube that I know of. Only downside is that there are months between episodes, which isn't surprising though given the in-depth analysis presented in each.

You and i read different things.

Apparently we did.

I hated how he worded them, but his arguments at greppable and understandable are valid arguments that go beyond rust and if he can read it or not or refuses to.

I'm failing to see how Rust code is not greppable unless you don't speak Rust.

Mixing languages in a part of a project brings complexity and is often a huge ass nono because it makes things unreadable and hard to manage on a large scale.

An argument which I would acknowledge, but if the decision to do this has been made by the group it still is weird to see it blocked by an individual.

He also argues that a c interface exists to connect 2 parts of a system. The person that changes the interface should not have to alter the users of that interface, [...] So if he changes the interface, the rust team will need to fix it, specially since they are the minority.

Nobody asked Hellwig to do this, in fact Krummrich said several times they would maintain the interface consuming the C code themselves. They just want one common interface for all Rust drivers, instead of replicating the same code in each driver. Which Hellwig never gives a substantial reply to.

That also doesnt mean he can change it in whatever way without worry, it is an interface change, that needs discussions and approvals ahead of time ofc.

Again not how I'm reading that thread. As Krummrich put it:

Surely you can expect maintainers of the Rust abstraction to help with integrating API changes -- this isn't different compared to driver / component maintainers helping with integrating fundamental API changes for their affected driver / component, like you've mentioned videobuf2-dma stuff.

How do you figure?

The only two "technical" arguments I could see were firstly that code should

[remain] greppable and maintainable

which unless I'm missing something boils down to "I don't speak Rust", and secondly that

The only reason Linux managed to survive so long is by not having internal boundaries, and adding another language complely breaks this

which unless I'm missing something boils down to "I don't speak Rust", because ain't nobody trying to add any other languages to the Linux code base.

Surely this can't be the "decent technical reasoning" you are referring to? I have to admit I don't follow kernel development that closely, but I was under the impression that integrating Rust into the code base was a long discussed initiative having the "official" blessing of the higher ups among the maintainers by now, so it seems odd to see it opposed in such harsh terms by a subsystem maintainer here:

I absolutely support using Rust in new codebase, but I do not at all in Linux.

Are they serious, like showing images of Musk doing this is unlawful?

Potentially, which I guess might have been the entire point. The ZPS is no stranger to provoking law suites, and since Musk did this in the US this might be their attempt at baiting the German jurisdiction to take a stance on it.

That said the article you linked says the police talks about having an "Anfangsverdacht" (initial suspicion), which basically means "we have heard about it and will look into it".

Not what OP said over on the (now deleted) Reddit post:

So the ad was supposed to play in that black box and this is a bug?

I had Bob's Burgers on in the background but was playing a game with my kid. The silence caught my attention, but not at first. At first I assumed it was a, "choose your commercial" thing.

After some more time I thought maybe it was asking if I was still watching, that's when I looked up to see this

I waited, nothing. I made a verbal comment and the whole family started looking. We waited, nothing.

I grabbed my phone, snapped the pic, made the post (but didn't actually post it), and it was still sitting there.

I guessed an answer, got it right, and the show came back

Then I hit "post" to actually make the post.

Some people say it went away on its own. Others say, like me, they had to answer, and others said even after answering it didn't go away

I've had Bob's Burgers on all morning and I've yet to see this again
