In addition to what others have said, ESP32 is often used by hobbyists, like a more powerful Arduino. These devices are extremely versatile and cheap. I have several of these in my home automation and this is very bad news :(

Seems to be a variation of the plot of Moon (2009)

Is there any way to liberate existing ebooks now that Amazon has pulled the plug on downloading? An unfortunate friend of mine has “bought" Books from Amazon for thousands of euros and he just now finds out that he doesn’t seem to own them. I’d help him free his books if there is a possibility.

It could be that the Nazis recruited some black people abroad, like you said in legions, as mercenaries or in colonies to do the dirty work for them, but they never ever would have given them high ranking titles due to their fucked up race ideology.

No, there were none. Where do you get your history knowledge? From anime?

That’s the way the EU itself was formed as well. It started as “European Economic Community” or “European Common Market”. It was then transformed to “European Community” and finally to “European Union”. Those Agreements go stepwise this is what could happen here

I think the most important part to understand with lemmy is that the choice of server doesn’t matter that much because you can read and post on all the other servers as well. Unless you choose hexbear or whatever it is called these days. :)

But it really is a problem when people can’t be bothered to choose from more than exactly one. I mean if you can make a selection from several different brands of toilet paper in a supermarket then why is it so hard to choose a server?

Even the part about Google Search only highlights the AI crap and skips over the real problem of increasingly worse search results. The whole article is more of a rant from a user’s perspective and there aren’t any real insights.

Thing is, young people don’t get to tell me what I have to do. I don’t give a shit what younger people deem appropriate for my age. If I want to wear a hoodie at 50 then I’ll wear a hoodie. Now get off my lawn.

Interesting. I always thought it was just some kind of a shared mannerism, didn’t expect there to be actual instructions for that. Do you have any more info on that?

Coming from Germany where a gesture even vaguely similar to a nazi salute is a criminal offence I naturally have a different stance on that. What fascists enjoy doing (and this pattern can be seen all over the word) is provoke with gestures, statements and symbols that look very similar to their fascist equivalent and they always have that smirk. They think it’s very clever. When called out on that of course they feign outrage and again with a slight smirk. Journalistic integrity needs to recognize these patterns instead of giving the “benefit of the doubt”. They are being played otherwise because there will never be definitive proof if they did it or not.

basically because they assume they could steal votes from the far right by adopting far right topics themselves. It’s been proven that this doesn’t work though. People then tend to vote for the “original” instead. In fact, adopting far right positions even has a net positive effect for the far right party because a mainstream party now validates their propaganda.

I don’t like how people are trying to stir up dissent and drama around this. The message posted is short and on point, it includes all the important bits. There really isn’t much more to add.

Of course they do. AI is aggressively marketed as such. Most people simply don’t know that an LLM doesn’t have a concept of "truth“, and the misleading marketing is to blame for that.

As a (Plasma based) Kubuntu user I was wondering as well. Looks like they tried to emulate the gnome look and feel in the picture. In Kubuntu the default taskbar is at the bottom and the floating application bar doesn’t exist

Why would anyone rename a perfectly valid variable name to some garbage term just to please our Microsoft Newspeak overlords? That would make the code less readable and more error prone. Also everything with human data has a field for sex or gender somewhere, driver’s licenses, medical applications, biological studies and all kinds of other forms use those terms.

But nobody really needs to use copilot to code, so maybe just get rid of it or use an alternative.

The hurdle is that Europe tends to adopt things that are successful in the US, because it is convenient. Even most services and startups based in Europe are more or less copies of US products, with some notable exceptions of highly specialised applications. This unfortunate trend started in the 1970s, when the largest industrial players in Europe thought semiconductors were just a fad and consequently lost their competitive edge. It was seen as less risky to invest in commercially proven concepts than to actually innovate. This continues to bite us in the ass to this day.

Naja schön und gut, mein Punkt ist hier dass der MdB durchaus selbst in der Lage sein sollte sich über die bundesweiten Machenschaften der afd zu informieren und dann zu den entsprechenden Schlüssen kommen könnte. Klar kann man abwarten bis jedes einzelne Bundesland zu der Erkenntnis gelangt und klar kann man auch bis nach der Wahl warten, damit es nicht so aussieht als wäre das Verbot ein politischer Schachzug um sich der Konkurrenz zu entledigen. Aber genau da würde ich entschieden widersprechen, denn genau dieses Abwarten und Abwiegeln hat hier möglicherweise katastrophale Folgen für die Demokratie. In den USA ist es im Prinzip ja ähnlich gelaufen, man hat abgewartet mit dem Hinweis auf die bevorstehende Wahl. Und jetzt ist es zu spät, denn Trump wurde gewählt und demontiert nun in rasender Geschwindigkeit Staat und Gesellschaft.

Abwarten ist absolut der falsche Reflex wenn es um das Abwehren von Gefahren geht. Wenn es brennt erwarte ich von der Feuerwehr dass sie löscht und nicht erstmal abwartet ob das Feuer vielleicht von alleine ausgeht.

Er muss gar nichts beweisen. Die afd ist vom Verfassungsschutz und gerichtlich mehrfach bestätigt als “gesichert rechtsextremistisch” eingestuft worden und das wird dem MDB wohl nicht entgangen sein.

Oh no. Won’t someone think of the shareholders.

Well, at least they were pioneers in the art of enshittification.
