Piefed now has a built-in alternative to Lemmyverse to discover and search for active communities, with the "Active people" filter on the communities page (weekly basis)
Parola filtrata: nsfw
To see it in action:
- piefed.zip/communities?topic_i…
Crust.piefed.social (the Piefed development instance)
- crust.piefed.social/communitie…
Not all instances implement it yet, I guess it depends how often they pull from the dev branch
Example of search for 'movies'

Is this different to Lemmy's communities tab sorted by 'Top Week', which sorts by weekly active users?
IMO, the main advantage of Lemmyverse is the better text search and presentation.

You still don't see the number of weekly active users.
On Piefed, it's the 'Active people' column, where you can see the numbers without having to go to each community. Lemmy (and Photon in this case) only show subscribers, which isn't an accurate metric as most of them are ghost accounts.
That could indeed be the case, but that's probably a low priority item for most of the client devs.
I had been asking Rimu to add this feature for a while as Lemmyverse doesn't show Piefed communities on the community search, and as a lot of people use Lemmyverse to search for communities, Piefed communities are basically invisible.
This solves it, if other clients want to implement it too, that would be nice of course

Japan and South Korea have similar political systems and similar human development indexes, which implies relatively similar sets of values. And they're fairly alone with those in their corner of the world. They both have to deal with being adjacent to Russia, China and North Korea, which aren't exactly the best neighbors. And they face similar social issues, e.g. extremely low birth rates.
In short, it would be very beneficial for them to be friends.
It doesn't work this way. At all.
Russia and Ukraine have many similar things. And what?
Half of Afrika shoots each other while being indistinguishable from an outsider's point of view.
USA despises Canada while Canada helped USA many times and the last war between them wasn't even between them but between metropolias.
Want me to provide another hundred of examples?

Most of these have actually quite different political systems. e.g. Putin's Russia is a dictatorship, while Ukraine is a somewhat imperfect democracy that has been on the road to become more similar to EU countries. Trump might despise Canada, but is that true for Biden and other prominent Democrats, too? Was that true for pre-MAGA Republicans? Either way, Trump's USA is a rightwing dictatorship while Canada is a democracy.
Also, even if a set of relatively similar countries isn't actually friends, it would still be very beneficial for most them, certainly more beneficial than going to war with each other.
That makes perfect sense if you have no sense of the historical context of relations between Japan and Korea or the major factors of racism and historical revisionism at play.
Since the end of WWII, Japan has actively downplayed and minimized its own historical atrocities against Chinese and Korean civilians. Mass rape, torture, and indiscriminate massacre aren't things a proud culture like Korea are gonna just "get over" on a short timescale. The fact that racism against Koreans in Japan is still rampant is just icing on the shit cake.
One of the other articles linked to from the OP article mentions that, while two Japanese companies (Mitsubishi and Nippon Steel) have voluntarily offered reparation payments to "forced laborers" from WWII recently, this has actually inflamed tensions because they have also notably not offered apologies. The money is seen as a dirty bribe to shut up about the whole "nearly a million people pressed into slavery" thing.
This is happening now because both of these countries have relatively similar political values and are being squeezed by both sides by China and the US. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Yeah, that's an interesting point. Perhaps there are cultural difference that makes it more difficult to let go of old grudges.
Or maybe Europe is just more used to fighting eachother and becoming friends again once it's over.
I mean, I'm Swedish, we may joke about the Danes and talk shit about them. But if something serious were to actually happen we'd stand behind them no questions asked. And I'm pretty sure we have the record for most wars and battles fought between two nations.
One issue is that Japan was treated with kid's gloves after WW2 unlike Germany, the Germans were made keenly aware of how much they fucked up and the allies spent some effort to "denazify" the country - even if it was incomplete, it was still a lot more than what was done in Japan.
Now that I think about it, it probably also helped a ton that the EU wasn't just two countries, but pretty much from the very beginning a round table of more-or-less equals. Really takes the edge off animosities between any two countries in a way that's probably impossible when all you have is bilateral relations, even when there's a guarantor like the USA that would prevent any active hostilities.
in fact, those who are most similar often fight the most
consider dogs. typical dogs are pretty chill and get along with practically everyone, except other dogs. at least that's my impression. when they see another dog, they start barking like there's no tomorrow, because they sense competition. somebody who's completely different than themselves is no problem because they occupy a different niche, so they're not competition.
I suspect what we’ll see is an anti China alliance between Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, and Vietnam as Chinese influence grows. Probably won’t be something official like NATO but it does seem to be in their strategic interest to make this happen. Especially now that US support is iffy.
And my understanding is that the current generations have less animosity.
vietnam was scorched earth razed by the us. that wasn't "just business" at all.
they haven't actually fought china for many decades, and have been talking a lot of big deals lately.
if i recall correctly you haven't been on conflict with china for decades though, right? that's despite some territorial disputes.
do you think vietnam would realistically be on an official anti-china alliance?
If you mean something that would be called a war then the last one was in 1979. I heard from some on the internet who had people from their family deployed that there were still smaller conflicts in the 80s.
The territorial disputes in the recent 20 years were worse than you think, soldiers died, fishing ships were sank and there were protests. However, the Vietnamese government kept it down to not lose on the economic front. The past 2-3 years the government got on better terms with other sides and got more aggressive when it comes to the islands lol.
For the alliance, I think we have a policy in national defense that says we won't be in any military organization, so nope. There might be others that are related to economy and security which tends to be against China's wrongdoings though.
now that is commendable
how was the situation till now? japan, korea and china all hate each other for some reason?
for some reason?
I don't mean to be a dick, but it might have something to do with the Japanese Empire having massacred them in the past.
U.S. Government Starts Pushing Economic Data Onto Blockchains as 'Proof of Concept'
The U.S. Department of Commerce said it issued its gross domestic product data via nine blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and other crypto-world pathways.
archive: archive.ph/RDgRJ
How about we only use blockchain for the use cases where it's an optimal solution.
If and when there are such use cases.
No. Keep tech away from voting. Software cannot be trusted.
You can't tell if the button you push is the thing being counted. You don't know if the version of the code on the machine is the one that was audited.
Paper. Ballots. Only
Yay, decentralised and immutable!
Data integrity at source: If the BEA’s initial data is wrong (as sometimes happens with revisions), blockchain only makes the error permanent until corrected with new updates
Oh, so... Like previously just publishing a pdf on a website, then.
I guess it means they can't hide revisions. Which is what archive.org (and the us government equivalent that archives government sites) provided when the government just published the pdf.
At least it's decentralised!
Over-reliance on oracles: Chainlink and Pyth are powerful, but their centrality creates new concentration risks. If they malfunction or face attacks, critical data feeds could be disrupted.
Gotcha, still has centralised services.
Quotes taken from ccn.com/education/crypto/gdp-o… which seems to have the best technical info I could find
Still not much information. I'm presuming an "oracle" is something that gives you a hash of the "immutable" data, so you only have to pay to get that hash recorded on a blockchain instead of however many kB of PDF.
Yes. I was laying on the sarcasm heavily.
I presume that's what these oracle services provide.
Essentially hosts the us governments GDP NFT, so you can right click and download it just like every NFT crypto bro hates you doing.
Whether its actually the US Government hosting the file, or these oracle services hosting it... It doesn't matter.
Why not just host the files on a government website with appropriate file hashes (so users can verify the file is still the same), let the internet archive and the national archives take a snapshots of the files and pages and hashes etc... ? That's a well regarded site archival system, and the governmental archival system. Has redundancy, pedigree and public acceptance.
Fuck it, publish just the hash on some block chains so the "fingerprint" of the report is immutable. But call it what it is.
The report isn't "published on the Blockchain".
It is linked from some blockchains.
There is still a file hosted by some servers.
You can't download your favourite blockchain, take it to the top of Mount Rushmore with no internet and inspect the US GDP figures without first downloading the file linked in the block chain.
Blockchain oracles are entities that connect blockchains to external systems, allowing smart contracts to execute depending on real-world inputs and outputs. Oracles give the Web 3.0 ecosystem a method to connect to existing legacy systems, data sources and advanced calculations.

edit: OK that came across fanboish. I respect DW for making proper journalism that isn't necessarily aligned with my political views. It's one of those channels I pay attention to in addition to my main ones.
DW is funded and run by the German government to improve Germanys image abroad. It is not a public broadcaster as those are financed through a government independent but obligatory system.
In regards to Palestine it ran a terrible hack job of Israeli propaganda until about earlier this year, when they realized that this is harming the image of Germany abroad much stronger than at least pretending balanced coverage.

Has Netanyahu made slip-up in case against Karim Khan? - Israeli PM's allegations against ICC chief have never been mentioned before
...
The Israeli leader made the comments during an interview with Breitbart News, a video of which was published on Wednesday.Netanyahu said that Khan faced sexual assault allegations by a “female staff member”, before adding: “And since then, there have been four other women who came to the fore and accused him.”
...
"In the circumstances, it is therefore both extraordinary and deeply troubling to Mr Khan that a serving head of government, and one who has been openly hostile to both the ICC and the UN, and who is indeed the subject of an arrest warrant, should purport to have knowledge about other such allegations or individuals, or about an ongoing confidential investigation of which Mr Khan is the subject."

Good article! Thanks for the archive link. Amazing that this type of shady shit which Tesla is doing is likewise behind a paywalled source where people can’t get this information as easily.
Inside a Starbucks near the Miami airport, the plaintiffs’ attorneys watched as greentheonly fired up his ThinkPad computer and plugged in a flash drive containing a forensic copy of the Autopilot unit’s contents. Within minutes, he found key data that was marked for deletion — along with confirmation that Tesla had received the collision snapshot within moments of the crash — proving the critical information should have actually been accessible all along.The attorneys high-fived behind him.
Basically too, Tesla has also tried to delete the data again by powering up the unit from the crash, which would have ‘updated’ the device and conveniently removed data. How STRANGE it maintains this behavior… especially for collision snapshots.
Tesla is actively harming people, lying about it, and using shitty tactics to avoid any responsibility for it. Just like its daddy, Elon.
Seriously. This is so fucked yo.
I’m NEVER EVER going to buy Tesla.
How does archive get the unpaywalled version? I don't think they pay the subscription for every single tabloid out there?
Asking for a friend.
Btw, how come there is no search engine where you can sort and filter how you want instead of how they want? (except self-hosted i mean)
Pornhub has better searchability than, uh, all search sites i know.
Well they have to pay 200+ million. So im not sure if "get away" is the right word. But I get the sentiment. Its a tragedy.
"It took the jury less than a day of deliberation to find Tesla 33 percent liable for the crash and responsible for $243 million in punitive and compensatory damages."
Almost 100 billion revenue last year.
250 million of 100 billion is what… 0.25%?
Yeah. That’s nothing to them.

Anandtech had a great saying:
There are no bad products, just bad prices.
Performance wise, Intel CPUs were just fine at the right price, no matter what manufacturing drama is going on. Don’t get me wrong, all my recent CPU purchases have been AMD, but not because of brand loyalty or anything; it’s because they were on sale and great for the price.
Yours is probably in better shape than mine. The 13 and 14 series specifically had a design flaw in the microcode that overvolts them. They slowly burn out over time, and the damage is irreversible.
Earlier processors aren't affected. It's specific to this series. But the only "fix" is a microcode patch that nerfs performance, so I'd rather just ride it out and switch to AMD.
I'm happy to see ARM gaining enough traction these days to be a solid alternative to x64. I'm happy to run it for server workloads but I'm skeptical it's ready to replace my AMD PC desktop.
Granted, I haven't been paying super close attention to the state of the art for the past few years, but from what I gather Apple was a major catalyst in the uptake of ARM for the desktop. Ironically, we have Intel's abysmal Skylake QC to thank for that 😅
How is Linux ARM support these days? Any particularly outstanding distro that shines on ARM?
There aren't any ARM manufacturers that upstream their drivers, and no SystemReady support from any manufacturers
Basically every package works on ARM, but the lack of manufacturer support for hardware means ARM effectively requires a special kernel build for every PC
RaspberryPi has worked on upstreaming their Broadcom SoC, Collabora had worked on upstreaming the RK3588 SoC...
None of Qualcomm's recent chips are very usable (always missing something like audio, or other basic functionality)
Asahi Linux worked on Apple M1/M2 support

What’s new for generic ARM64 Desktop ISOs in 25.10
In this week’s Ubuntu Engineering spotlight, we’re diving into the technical side of how our generic ARM64 Desktop ISO works out of the box on all sorts of arm64 desktop hardware including Qualcomm Snapdragon laptops.Ubuntu Community Hub
That doesn't fix the problem of needing specific device tree files for every computer.
So you still won't be able to say, swap your WiFi chip in your laptop and still have it work.
This just enables a small subset of (specifically Windows ARM laptops) to boot from an image.
This is very different from x86, where ACPI allows you to have a single image that knows very little about the hardware.
If ARM started using SystemReady, you could see a truly generic image, rather than having a specific list of laptops the "generic" image works with

Proving the German Media Bias Against Palestinians
German reporting on the Middle East has long been criticized as one-sided. Our exclusive analysis of 5,000 headlines from leading German media outlets since October 7 shows the bias is even worse than suspected.
They don't feel guilty, they're afraid of ever having to actually be held fully responsible. The colonization of Palestine was done with public collaboration with the Nazis, and Palestinians have no obligation to pay for Germany's crimes by surrendering their homeland.
Germany got a very sweet deal, the Jewish question answered itself and they washed their hands if it.
So the former Nazis feel (rightfully) guilty about their Genocide of Jews and the current Nazis say committing Genocide is part of the Jewish identity, so the former Nazis have to feel guilty for and thus support the current Nazis? /j
(Joke as in not a serious question but a cynical attempt at simplifying in a humorous way)
I don't hold any individuals accountable for their countries past. I'm German Russian (as in my parents are both ex-soviets from Moscow, but I was born and grew up in Germany and still live here).
Why would I hold any Germans accountable for what their (great)grandparents did during their attempted Genocide against most peoples of eastern Europe and destruction of the USSR, as long as they don't expect me to feel sorry for the (Wehrmacht) oppressors, rapists, pillagers and thugs my great-grandparents rightfully shot and took as POWs to build Siberian land bridges and what not LOL.
Holding current generations accountable doesn't make much sense, but it is their legacy and how they deal with it is not crucial, but essential.
(Like Japan und Turkey also come to mind as strong negative examples; Japan much more so though)
I was more talking about societies from a macro POV. And there is a distinction IMO between a society rising from the rubble of a destroyed past (like in Germany, tho arguably the FRG never properly denazified) and still upholding that legacy and keeping it alive and well like in the USA.
The USA served as one of the primary inspirations of German fascism BTW, "Manifest Destiny" became Lebensraum, their concept of racial segregation was to be admired (and brought to its logical conclusion) and their exploitative industry to be emulated (said industry also funded the hitlerite fascists; e.g. Henry Ford was awarded the highest prize available to foreigners by Hitler himself)
The USA is built on the corpses of genocided peoples and as long as this grotesque concept exists in that form, justice will be waiting. The least they have to do is to give the land and equal rights back and establish commissions to remedy the societal legacy brought by centuries of racial oppression, reparations are not enough. (a lot of it applies to former empires and existing colonies as well)

I don't know about anyone else, but I got into computers at a young age because it gave me a sense of control over something. I didn't understand everything, but I could do a lot of trial and error, read things and experiment, build cool things, and I shared a sense of community with some random internet strangers based on that knowledge.
In a world where we are so powerless in so many other ways, why did we insist on bringing that power dynamic into the new bright tech sphere? Why did we have to do that? (N.B. this is rhetorical questioning).
The infuriating part of the Google enshittification process is that there is absolutely nothing the user can do about it.
Literally the only thing that motivates Google is profit. Controlling side-loaded apps will almost certainly boost their profits by a infinitesimal fraction of a percent, therefore it will be done. Even if consumer uproar causes Google to back down in the short term, they'll simply implement this a few months later. Late-stage Capitalism sucks.
You can stop using all Google products. Now I understand their market share on the web means they’re going to continue to shape the web.
But make no mistake. There is something, however small, that you can do. De-Google.
The only people who can de google are basically single shut ins with a job that doesnt use anything google.
If you have kids or a company that uses google products. It's a bad fucking joke to talk like it's even a realistic option.
Google is basically shoved down your throat. In most cases by the law literally. Seriously FUCK how tied the public education system is to google now.
You can stop using all Google products.
My public school -- that my children are basically required by law to attend, remember -- is badgering me to sign a consent form so they can have Chromebooks.
This fight is a lot fucking larger than mere individual boycotts!
They probably would have to find accommodation for you, although I’m sure it’d be very inconvenient. But still technically there.
As to if you refuse to have your child be issued a Chromebook and Google account, probably not much you can do, as they are providing everything.
My personal answer to this question is the same as if it were an employer issued mandatory Chromebook; me the employee (or my child the student) is a different entity than me the individual. Me the individual refuses to have anything to do with Google, and that’s enough of a fight for me.
Around here if you can't refuse. My coworker is currently fighting that battle. His basically being threatened by the state that he either complies, home schools and compiles with those requirements which still has google requirements. Or he has to deal with the legal penalties of not sending his kid to school.
The accomodations is basically pay out of pocket for a private school. Because there is no accmodation for "free" services. Even the "poor" can do it so it's a non optional expectation.
For me, MitID in Denmark. 100% required for society and life here, requires Google Play Services now 🙁
I tried e/os on my Fairphone for a bit. I think I could make it all work okay enough besides that. I should write people at the government or something I guess?
I contacted them, they told me it is for security, I argued but it is useless. I have to buy an android phone or be punished for not filling my taxes. Amazing
I was looking into it a few ago. I found something made in Europe which advertise as more consumer friendly (Fairphone). If I got it right they want to stand out of the crowd by:
- Selling phones that can be repaired easily;
- Offer a de-googled OS based on Android.
The second point could be interesting, considering this Google abusive behavior towards users. Moreover, there is another thing that caught my attention: their devices (the last one is missing, but maybe it's just too new?) are supported by Ubuntu Touch, which should be just a Linux OS running on phones. That would be my dream, so that I can consider my phone just a computer with all the freedom I can get, such as write down my bash/python/C applications to do what I want to do without having to mess up with all that Android development suite.
However, if I am not mistaken, in the past I heard some bad reviews about Fairphone, so you should perform your due diligence.

UK Home Office ‘backdoor’ seeks worldwide access to Apple iCloud users’ data, court documents confirm

A court filing states that a government order against Apple would give it the capability to access communications and metadata of customers using the iCloud service anywhere in the world
It would seem like that when reading news, but it's really not that bad. Enshittification is an issue though, but mostly being driven by the us oligarchs worldwide. A lot of the outrage/opinion manufacturing "media-news" never becomes reality on the ground.
The issue with nonsensical invasive surveillance tech is, logic and facts usually and eventually prevail, for instance backdooring systems for one group is backdooring for everyone, it just puts a huge target on your system and is ultimately ineffectual in its purpose, because the people of interest will adapt almost instantly (see examples "war on drugs", "ending piracy"). In the end it is a losing battle, akin to trying to legislate wind to blow only in one direction.

Let us git rid of it, angry GitHub users say of forced Copilot features
Among the software developers who use Microsoft's GitHub, the most popular community discussion in the past 12 months has been a request for a way to block Copilot, the company's AI service, from generating issues and pull requests in code repositories.The second most popular discussion – where popularity is measured in upvotes – is a bug report that seeks a fix for the inability of users to disable Copilot code reviews.

In a Reddit AMA, the then-Branch CEO Alex Austin also revealed that if Kevin ever left Branch, they would open-source Nova Launcher's code and release it to the community.
We still have hope if they keep their promise!
Read a bit further:
Two years later, Kevin Barry left Branch and is no longer involved in Nova’s development. In his announcement, Barry revealed that he had been the sole developer for the past year, spending recent months preparing to open source Nova Launcher and clean up its codebase. However, Branch ultimately asked him to stop both development and his open-sourcing efforts.
Yeah, I read it. But they still promised open source, nothing about Barry working on it or not.
That's why I said "keeping their promise"
I hate being hinted and asked to click on the link, so I save you a click:
It’s the end of an era: the founder and original developer of Nova Launcher — Kevin Barry — has stepped away from the development of the iconic custom launcher. This essentially marks the end of the road for the launcher, as it is unlikely to receive updates or new features. For years now, Nova Launcher has been the go-to launcher for power Android users, standing out for its plethora of customization options and features.
Now that Nova is in literal limbo, if not allegedly in the hands of some data miner, there should be talk about substitutes.
- This app may share these data types with third parties
- This app may collect these data types

Their other projects are in active development, so I wouldn't consider it to be abandoned.
I haven't had any issues besides the desktop being occasionally unresponsive. Same thing used to happen to me in Nova.
It's FOSS and suits my needs. But I can see why others may want to stay away from it.

The interoperability of ActivityPub is nice, but all these differences make it confusing and cumbersome too.

I switched to Niagara a few years ago when Nova was sold. True game changer once you get used to it (which doesn't take too long). It works great on phone or tablet. And there is still something SO satisfying about watching the alphabet and apps move with your thumb. It's so smooth and the haptic feedback is perfect (running on Pixel 7, GrapheneOS, and a cheap old Samsung tablet A8).

You make it sound as if human greed as part of the human condtion will suddenly and magically disappeared under any other form of trade or political system. That is not what literal history has us shown to be the case, over, and over again.
What fucked it up was he selling to the wrong company. But we do not know why he did it. For all we know, he was tired to taking lead in the project and wanted to cash out. He was entitled to do that, or what is the option, force him to work on it just for your needs or to sell to only the company that you or I approved of? What gives us the right to force their hand?
It sucks but that is what he wanted. We both agree that it us unfortunate though. It is too bad.
That human nature will disappear when provided an egalitarian society is the biggest lie I see parroted over and over again by folks who also demand I read theory.
Our nature isn’t a result of our systems, our systems are a result of our nature
See: sh.itjust.works/comment/208518…
The human condition is dictated by the hegemonic system that is governing.Monopoly™ the game is structually engineered so that players kill the competition and secure the entire board. Would playing by the game's rules make me inherently a capitalist jerk? No, because they dictate my behaviour and not following them would put me outside the realm of the game (i.e. the system) resulting in my loss (decay).
If the capitalist system incentivizes me to outcompete others and hoard my wealth and, conversely, punishes me for my altruism; then, I am forced to play by the rules of such a system.
"Human nature" is much more complex to be reduced to just greed. This is what's so cool about being humans, we are so malleable and can be many many things either at once or separately.
Edit: I want to give some concrete examples to what I'm saying. Initially, the Google leadership was skeptical about AI funding, because of privacy and environmental concerns. Yet, as rival competition grew they backpedaled because this would mean their spot as the strongest teck company would be usurped. The late hop into AI funding and development heavily impacted their prospects and they remain falling behind in this respect (source). Here, we have an exemplary case of how the system automatically punishes hood deeds and reinforces predatory and greedy acts.

Did you know that Monopoly was originally invented by a woman whose point was how horrible monopolies are? It originally had a co-op mode that could topple monopolies through unions and co-ops.
Her game was bought by a jerk who removed the co-op mode and then claimed Monopoly as his own game. She died penniless.
If the capitalist system incentivizes me to outcompete others and hoard my wealth and, conversely, punishes me for my altruism; then, I am forced to play by the rules of such a system.
So change it... or be a pebble in the mountain of change.
Yes of course, humanity didn’t start until we figured out capitalism.
How could I have been so naive
You make it sound as if every system is perfectly equal, and that all humans are the same, and that nothing we choose or decide matters at all and that the only form of existence is the one we are seeing right now.
Jesus christ if this was a film you'd happily be hooked up to a bunch of tubes in a goo pod pretending you're free.
I wonder if additional revenue may have helped.
For those coming looking for alternatives, this mega comparison chart is what I used to select an alternative launcher when I switched.
I would strongly recommend checking this site for the trackers in an app if you're at all concerned about privacy. Links to each app's exodus privacy report is also at the end of the table linked above.
100%
I stuck with Neo for ages waiting for updates to fix the last few issues.....and they never came. Neo would be perfect if someone forked it and continued development.
Fossify is a tad too basic for me. I use the dialler and calculator. Both have slight issues. The calculator always starts with zero so tapping 1416 will give you 14016.
Dialler doesnt seem to wake or respond as quick as others.
I take it as it is given I know it is private and open but still there are gaps in UI and UX with foss that I wish were a bigger priority.

Speaking of calculators on android, I recently found an old silver link cable on ebay, which connects TI calculators to a computer, allowing me to dump the ROM of my old TI89. Loading up that rom in the 'graph89' emulator app is an amazing addition to a phone. Blows the socks off any calculator app.
But yes, fossify apps are simple. They do seem to be under active development, so hopefully they shape up nicely in the future.
There's no direct replacement. The features I use are in Pear launcher so I use that. You have to look through launcher comparisons to find the features you need.
I've made a post about this and some people are giving recommendations. Check out comments here: europe.pub/post/4256799
Dammit. I knew I should she already switched once they were bought but I couldn't find anything that matched the features at the time.
I really like being able to set swipe actions on my icons. For example swiping up or down on an icon will open an alternative app, folder, or a specific functionality. It's allowed me to keep a clean screen while keeping everything I need accessible.
God DAMMIT.

la sedia sfaldante che ti rompe la mente
Lo so che ormai, nelle mie condizioni, non dovrei più minimamente stupirmi di nessuno spacc, ma… boh, quest’ultimo qui (che in realtà si manifesta da qualche mese, ma in certi momenti di più ed in altri meno, vai a capire perché) è proprio zamni, perché sembra non aver avuto mai un inizio né tantomeno una fine… la mia sedia si sta letteralmente sbriciolando, oltre i limiti dell’umano. E pensare che ormai non faccio nemmeno più tanto gaming, su quella sedia… e ok, alla fine dei conti anche il non-gaming ammonta solo a premere la tastiera e muovere il mouse, ma mi pare strambo. 💔
Il fottuto rivestimento di finta pelle o quello che è — che a questo punto francamente potevano evitare di mettere proprio, se dopo appena 6-7 anni scarsi doveva rompersi in questo modo indegno — ha iniziato lentamente a sfaldarsi, a fare i frammentini, che spesso finiscono direttamente per terra come merdini neri a far sembrare la stanza sporca… quando non rimangono solo parzialmente staccati sulla sedia, creando una superficie lievemente irregolare che da lievemente fastidio all’anima (o beh, a volte si staccano del tutto ma non cadono subito a terra, ancora peggio); strofinando con la manina come in video poi cadono effettivamente. Come dovrei fare io a non essere costretta a cambiare questo affare prima dei prossimi 100 anni di uso, se già ora fa così??? Da non credere… 😿

As a Linux user btw and a person who does not like LLM AIs I am trying to give the new tech a chance while im at work forced to use a windows laptop. First I gave Edge a fair shot and its just not as good as firefox and chrome it has 1 features i liked split view. I did not find much use for the sidebar AI and it fucked up most tasks I gave it. Now that Copilot is in the firefox sidebar I can go back to testing it and see if its gotten better since when i was last using edge.
Suicidal take: Copilot is kinda useful I like having it available at the press of a button. I cant be fucked searching the internet for everything and its really useful to be able to get quick answers in the format i want. I would like to have Krunner with a fast response AI plugin on my system because windows copilot implementation is bad its only GenAI instead of providing hard functions like krunner.
You've summed it up nicely. We shouldn't be having to qualify LLM use. It's useful in some narrow niches, but it's being abused, forced into every corner, and it's wrong as often as it's right in many cases. And most people are not informed enough to understand it, and so over-estimate its capabilities.
Corporations are so desperate to capitalize on it and leverage it for short term profits in ways þat harm users and employees, þat we can't even use it for what it's good at wiþout qualifying þat we're not complete dumb fuck wagon-jumpers.
The update everyone wanted.
They are so blind to their purpose now. One day I hope to get millions for destroying a good product.

Of course he does. Putin needs to sell oil. It's a major Russian export earner. If US demand for oil and gas drops, so do global prices for those commodities. Less money for Puto, less ability for him to murder Ukrainians.
And unlike low-cost producers like the Saudis, Russia needs a moderately high price just to break even on their production.

AI in Education: Doomed?
reshared this
Technology reshared this.
At this rate USA will slide into the Idiocracy movie plot quickly.
Education needs to move with the times. “AI”, LLMs, etc are not going away and they’re only going to become more and more integrated into everyday life. Kids need to be taught how to use them, and most importantly that they’re not 100% correct all or even most of the time.
If you don’t teach them these things then you end up with people like we have now - mindlessly believing everything they say, and believing that they are “alive” and have feelings and relationships.
Just like a calculator, a laptop, and a bunsen burner - they’re a tool. If you operate them wrong you’ll get incorrect results that might look and sound right.
The entire education system in most countries needs an overhaul to be more relevant for the world we live in. There should be no student coming out of school that doesn’t understand how interest and loans work, or the basics of taxes a normal person has to navigate, for example. LLMs and their accuracy/inaccuracy should be another. Assessments also need to change - closed book stuff basically shouldn’t exist for maths for example, and take home essays should be a thing of the past. They have no place in the current world.
Education needs to move with the times. “AI”, LLMs, etc are not going away and they’re only going to become more and more integrated into everyday life.
Every time I see this I just see capitulation to society's ruin. "Just bend over and take it!"
A few months ago now, Arizona? Arkansas maybe? Some state legalized "AI powered" home schooling systems. But it was mostly clickbait and the system is less like ChatGPT and more like the YouTube Algorithm machine learning. It takes into account the stuff that students do well at and let's them advance beyond "grade level" limitations while also learning how to present problem areas in ways the student responds to.
I had asked my home schooled AI researcher buddy his thoughts and he obviously liked it. I like the idea too, but my hang up was on socializing kids. That to me is the more important role of schools.
I wouldn't trust an LLM in this set up though. A human tutor would still need to step in for questions outside of a FAQ IMO. I love working with an LLM by giving it all the manuals, guides, and config files I used then asking where I went wrong because it can usually give me a good enough interpretation to see where to go next. But that's just a rubber duck. My mind and skills are developed. A kid learning math for Tue first time can't do that.

my only advice, don't do it without a VPN, proton, ivpn or mullvad
with ivpn and proton, be sure to have some other stuff open on the same device to make some extra noise to help prevent fingerprinting the traffic
with mullvad, enable DAITA, matter of fact, use DAITA whenever you're using mullvad, it makes things a bit slower, but it's worth it to not have to worry about any AI finding a pattern in your traffic
Seedbox or vpn with remoting into a home sever would be safest
Guest network would be best as any large downloads can be tracked back to your account.
Randomize Mac address
And for overkill, try to randomize which wifi node you are using to be less predictable.
