The new one is definitely too expensive for me. I have a phone that I'm not really happy with, but I'm keeping it for as long as possible. After that, I'm probably going to look for a used fairphone. I don't see myself going with another completely unrepairable device.
I never claimed that 2^20 is the same as 10^6. In fact, I explicitly said that they are different. But if I use M on purpose, it is not a correction to just replace it with Mi, for that same reason.
There is no contradiction. But there is also nothing contradictory or wrong with the unit MB. If I say "this is 100MB", maybe I just... mean that? No reason to correct me.
No. "Mi" is just a different prefix than "M" and it doesn't matter what units you attach them to. Why would it? It's just a multiplication with 2^20 or 10^6, respectively.
The more important thing: anyone can see their posts now. This is rather crucial for a government institution's feed and not true on Twitter anymore.
The irony is not lost on us.
Zoom, the videoconferencing platform that profited substantially from remote work during the pandemic, is now asking employees to return to the office. Its CEO, Eric Yuan, claims Zoom meetings don't let people build trust or be innovative.
[...]
Yuan explained that trust is essential "for everything," and he finds it hard to build not only that but also innovation and debates over Zoom.
"Quite often, you come up with great ideas, but when we are all on Zoom, it's really hard," Yuan said, according to Insider. "We cannot have a great conversation. We cannot debate each other well because everyone tends to be very friendly when you join a Zoom call."
People in a genetic database have segments of DNA in common unexpectedly often.
The US is uniquely fucked. What the rest of the west shows though is that the housing crisis exists even without the idiocy that is American suburbanism. The consistent factor across the board is housing-as-profit.
It's speculative investments, housing as assets instead of, well, housing. In almost every major city in the west there is an astonishing number of empty apartments. In my hometown of Berlin there is essentially one large corporation that owns most of the city as investment. Also, new housing is constantly being built - but not for (average) people to live in it.
You may also recall that the whole thing came crashing down in 2008? Or have we just forgotten what happened there and the effects it has to this day.
You have to be a complete moron (and pretty ignorant) to believe housing prices are so high because "there is simply not enough supply". Have you lot slept through the last decades? Do you know anything that's happening?
Thanks for the explanation, but that's not where my confusion is. What is the context? Why is this posted in mildlyinfuriating? This is just some person saying stuff™
Doesn't every game engine... well... package a game engine in its games? Isn't that the whole damn point
Weird/confusing name, questionable legality and the website went down a while back (while mentioned explicitly in the licence...)
Use CC0 1.0 or Zero Clause BSD instead. They are more reputable, and all decent "public domain equivalent" licences are... well, equivalent in effect, anyway.
CC0 is the one CC licence you can safely use for code, as per the official recommendations. For all other CC licences, it is (strongly) discouraged.
RE: Copyleft
The idea of copyleft is that you give anyone the freedom to do anything with your work, with one essential restriction: they do the same for their changes, derivative works etc. Technically attribution doesn't have to be part of a copyleft licence, but all copyleft licences I know have a requirement to preserve copyright info.
And yes, it is popular in software (GPL, MPL, EPL), but for other types of works there is CC BY-SA 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike). If you want to copyleft books, images, videos, other forms of text... this is the way to go, IMO.

While I disagree with the person you're responding to because I find it honestly a little bit disgusting to equate the population of Germany with big German corporations (no, BMW is not "the Germans"), it is true that Germany has historically had a blind spot for capitalist Nazi collaboration (and so has the US, by the way!).
Cory Doctorow wrote a great piece about this topic a few weeks ago. Really recommend reading it if what you've always heard is how well Germany does with its history.
There's a difference between making a vim reference and "oh, a mourning family message? quick, i must find a stale joke to crack for internet points"
Feel free to tell yourselves this is respectful. I think some people here have been on the internet for too long.
Ich weise diese Unterstellungen zurück
Ich weise diese Unterstellungen zurück, Unterstellungen sind ein journalistischer Trick - diese dürften in der freiheitlich-demokratischen Grundordnung nicht vorkommen, Sie hätten mich anders fragen müssen. Jetzt frage ich mich: Woher kommen Sie? Welche Institution sind Sie? Sind Sie ein privater Verein, der eine kleine Meinungsforschung zu einem Geschäft macht, um mich zum Anreiz zu bringen, irgendwas zu kaufen?
What are some of the bands you recently discovered or who are active today?
I want to get a thread of contemporary punk bands going! There is so much good stuff out there today that perhaps not everybody has heard of.
The advertising industry has more than 650,000 labels to target people. Reading through them reveals how even the most sensitive aspects of our life are monitored. EU-based data brokers play a vital role in this system.
Ein Dokument gibt einen einmaligen Einblick in den globalen Datenhandel für die digitale Werbung. Erstmalig können wir im Detail nachvollziehen, wie invasiv und kleinteilig die Werbefirmen und Datenhändler uns kategorisieren. Das Bild ist erschreckend, auch zahlreiche deutsche Firmen sind beteiligt.
Is it just me, or is the Lemmy search interface not... great?
I've been on the Fediverse for a little while now, but I'm only getting into Lemmy now. I've noticed that it is very cumbersome to follow communities from other instances. You have to click on search, select "Communities", enter the name (but without the instance), find the correct one in the list if there's multiple and then subscribe.
Why can't I just... enter the fully qualified name somewhere and it sends me to the community directly? Why is there no search that works for unique IDs (like in Mastodon, where you can search for any global object ID (URL) to navigate there directly)? Or does that exist and I haven't found it yet?
Another thing, is there an existing effort for browser extensions that allow interactions when viewing foreign communities through their own interface instead of your home instances? This exists for Mastodon for example and is really convenient (I can like, boost, follow on other instances as long as I'm logged in on my home instance).
Edit: The regular search seems to be working with fully qualified names/IDs for me now. Dunno if it was just a fluke before or a problem with the instance I was looking up.
Edit 2: Searching IDs (such as https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse) work (although it takes a while to load), whereas searching "names" like [email protected] doesn't. I don't know if it's because of my instance or not.
