Donald Trump may be running an authoritarian political project, but the big money that has been backing him has been running a cryptocurrency project at the expense of the dollar and your standard of living.

Guardo il mare gonfiarsi per il vento di maestrale e mi chiedo quale pesce sia così pazzo da avventurarsi fuori dalla sua tana e affrontare tutto questo.

Das ging sehr schnell, gestern habe ich bei Etsy einen Kalender bestellt und der wurde vor knapp 2 Stunden geliefert. Es ist nicht irgendein Kalender, es ist der neue Balkonhörnchen-Kalender.
Arbeitsministerin Bas für weitere Nullrunde beim Bürgergeld
Nach der Nullrunde in diesem Jahr wird das Bürgergeld auch im kommenden Jahr wohl nicht erhöht. Das geht aus Plänen von Arbeitsministerin Bas hervor. Die SPD-Politikerin kündigte auch härtere Sanktionen an.
Schamlose Selbstbedienungsmentalität, moralisch verlottert und selbstgerecht: Menschen, die sich unter Berufung auf gestiegene Kosten selber eine Diätenerhöhung genehmigen, die höher ist als das monatliche Bürgergeld, entscheiden, dass die Ärmsten ohne Inflationsausgleich über die Runden kommen müssen. Meine Verachtung kommt aus allertiefstem Herzen.
Wie ist so etwas überhaupt zulässig. Inflationsbedingte Preissteigerungen müssen doch in der Fortschreibung berücksichtigt werden, damit keine existenzgefährdende Unterdeckung entsteht. Die Inflation bei Lebensmitteln, ist weiterhin deutlich über der allgemeinen Inflationsrate von 2%, und muss daher bei den tatsächlichen Lebenshaltungskosten stärker berücksichtigt werden. Die tatsächliche inflationsbedingt Preissteigerung dürfte eher bei 6% liegen für dieses und nächstes Jahr (2*3%)
Die SPD reiht sich damit ein die Reihe der Ausbeuter, die Bei den Armen sparen, Normalverdiener die Steuerladt tragen lassen und lächelnd die Reichen entlasten! WTF!
Alle #Bürgergeld-Beträge liegen damit weit unter der europaweit üblichen Armutsgefährdungsschwelle. Diese lag 2024 für Singles bei 1.381 € monatlich. Der durchschnittliche Bürgergeld-Bezug unterschreitet diese Marke um mehr als 300 Euro. Trotzdem kündigte die Union um #CDU und #CSU sogar weitere Kürzungen fr.de/wirtschaft/buergergeld-s… #Armenhass
Ab Juli bekommen die Bundestagsabgeordneten wieder mehr Geld. Das Parlament bestätigte die geltende Regelung, wonach die Diäten automatisch einmal pro Jahr angehoben werden. Warum diese Erhöhung umstritten ist.

Und mit dem was die Bürgergeldempfänger*innen dadurch WENIGER im Geldbeutel haben, werden die ganz sicher das Wirtschaftswachstum ordentlich ankurbeln, damit das BIP steigt und wieder mehr Firmen Leute einstellen. 😏
Listening to this interview of Rudy from #blacksky, I get the impression that there is no simplifying decentralization. You can either do it on the frontend like #mastodon does, or ask/expect people to decentralize later like #bluesky does. Either way, you will need to explain why it matters and help them make it happen.
[I'm unconvinced by arguments beyond #DemocracyOfReach so far. We don't need "decentralized social media" for community. Start a subreddit/discord.]
Verizon has confirmed to customers in stores and online that its network is having an issue on Saturday. Many people have been unable to connect and make or receive calls for hours, while DownDetector’s tracker peaked in the afternoon at around 3:30PM ET with more than 20,000 reports. Some customers report their service has continued to function throughout the day, so it’s unclear what the cause is exactly.
Downdetector’s outage map showed hotspots in many cities, and Verizon didn’t specifically list affected areas. On X, the @VerizonSupport account confirmed the issue in response to customers’ questions, but didn’t have additional details on restoration or how widespread it is
It's the time of year when one starts to think about #distrohopping again.
I've been using #Manjaro for years as my #Linux distro of choice and I'm toying with the idea of moving to #CachyOS.
This is for desktop use only, my servers are all running #BSD anyway.
My home directories are on a separate partition anyway, so it's not like it's a ton of effort to change distros as long as I remember to re-create the cron jobs.
Has anyone made that jump and was it an (unspecified) improvement?
I jump from linux mint to debian couple of months ago, it was more of a jump back, I used #debian between 2004 to 2006 heavily after that for a while I was using ubuntu/xubuntu then long time mint, it was really nice, but I missed debian I am back, feels like home, mint and ubuntu was having too many updates everyday, it is more quite in debian. And #Cinnamon is a bliss, I like gnome and kde, used them long time but they have been heavy always, I also like Xfce or Windowmaker too but cinnamon is more like stable and user friendly.
@thejvmbender I do use Linux Mint for a regular "daily driver" type Linux - basically as a direct Windows replacement. The machine where I was distrohopping today is more of a development workstation so I do want pretty up to date packages (hence my usage of Manjaro).
I ended up with #opensuse Tumbleweed, which is probably halfway between the Arch-type bleeding edge and the stable distros like Debian and Debian-based ones.
I usually use Xfce or Enlighenment as the desktop and they work well on both OpenSUSE and Manjaro.
Ten years ago, my friend Rik Wanninkhof's son, Patrick, was killed while cycling across the US doing charity work for Habitat for Humanity. The woman who killed him was using her mobile phone. She was also a nurse, like the woman in the video. Rik is still devastated. Don't text and drive.
On Tuesday, students enrolled in the Southwest Oklahoma Driving School heard from a woman, convicted in the death of a bicyclist, about the dangers of distracted driving.
AI chatbots are blowing up the 30-year economic relationship publishers have had with search engines. Many think this will kill the web if not addressed. Google needs to change first. It's resisting.
I wonder what’s with the #Luanti forums recently, being super slow and unresponsive and oftentimes just returning a gateway timeout (if returning anything at all).
The rabid amount of Linux fanboyism on Lemmy is quite off putting in general. Any conversation about Microsoft gets brigaded with “Just use Linux!” even if the conversation has nothing to do with it. It makes it a pain to have any decent discourse about things.
Think people who got on lemmy originally lean techy (and thus more likely to use linux and be passionate about it), and people who joined after the IPO thing have more diverse reasons for abandoning reddit.
I am a professional designer with two decades of experience and I gotta admit, you're smoking crack if you think GIMP (the project that is almost entirely held back by its stupid name) is superior to Photoshop.
It might be able to get the job done for small tasks, but it is not a serious tool for serious people. I'm sorry. I'm as pro-FLOSS as anyone can get, and even I recognize that right now there's just no competition in the design department. Affinity is Mac-only, and comes with its own problematic aspects.
Except it really isn't, unfortunately. As someone who fucking hates adobe and Photoshop, GIMP falls far short. Photoshop is made to work as part of a toolkit, and GIMP isn't interested in any form of compatibility. Take, for example, an issue that's been around (and in the bug tracker) since the release of 2.10. Something about the way GIMP handles colors means that most programs can't use alpha channels output by GIMP correctly, and see it as having much higher contrast than it's meant to. The stance seems to be that this is intended behavior. However, this is clearly not the case, as even when only using GIMP, re-importing the image shows that, even though the contrast is correct, data was still lost.
Show me an OSS alternative to Excel that actually does tables, one of the most used, basic functions in excel.
I use tables every day for things like:I have a list of movies, sort them by producer. Or by production date. Or main actor. All these require a a single click on a column, something Open Office devs refuse to ever implement.
I use Linux every day for my servers, but not as my desktop. There's too much stuff like this that I don't have time for.

agree 100% on gimp. It took me about a year to get used to it and now I have a free license for photoshop at work, but I still prefer gimp 2.8 on my work computer with windows. At home I use Gimp on linux all day nearly every day and do texture editing for games all of the time. Very productive tool.
I think its mostly sunk cost and "i dont want to invest time to learn new things" that keeps people on windows.
Work is a separate thing. My work laptop runs windows, a matter I dont have a say in. But for personal use cases? I feel there are exceptionally few that are more than "i have to change the programs I use and learn how new ones work". And if that's too major a barrier for someone to overcome, good for them. The least they can do is say "I dont want to use Linux because its too much effort".
To a lot of people it's difficult. Vendor lock-in, support, cartels (the old kind) and familiarity are very important factors in choosing what you're going to use to compute things.
We should embrace the new ones and build things that they are going to use.
There are legitimate reasons not to use Linux, but the user interface is not one of them, Linux can be way friendlier UI-wise than windows, see Desktops like cinnamon.
The only issue I have with my Index is that linux somehow prioritizes it over my main monitor when booting so i have to plug it in after booting and then all works fine.
Yeah, linux can be almost anything you want it to be. It'll run faster and look and feel just the same as windows, if not better. The only bad thing, and I say this as someone who's still on windows and will switch soon^tm^, is that there's a lot of work that comes with that.
A friend of mine who's all about linux is always fixing something about his installation. Though from what I know, he's using Arch, which apparently is less stable/needs more work to get going (something about bleeding edge).
Only reason why I haven't changed yet is because of VR and adobe programs. As soon as VR is a bit more seamless and I get replacements for adobe I'm off of windows.
WiVRn from quest app store, wivrn desktop app. I also needed xrizer nightly for secondary gun mode to work in half life alyx. Can't guarantee much else though since I only really play beat saber.
Yeah same for me with my rift cv1 the current driver altough better than before is still pretty bad in comparison to windows like 50fps at best and with other drivers it gets 28 fps.
What Linux are you using? I wanted to do the switch soon to either zorin or buzzite, but I would also like to keep using my valve index. Reading this here makes me reluctant to complete the switch.
I am using opensuse but it is hard to build monado or openhmd with it necause some packages you need to get from fedora because they dont exist or have a version tag with _SUSE which makes it not see that the package is there. I would recommend something more mainstream: Arch, fedora, debian and etc. But bazzite should work I think I succeefully ran my rift on it for a little bit.
If you truly believe a Mac is locked down more than North Korea you need to do some research. And I pray you never find out how locked down North Korea is first hand.
I didn't say that I did. Please don't put words into my mouth.
There’s a million billion reasons to knock MacOS, but saying it’s too locked down in a thread about Linux is wild. They’re both Unix based OSes. They’re siblings. If you’re comfortable enough with a command line to terminal your way through managing Linux then you’re capable enough to terminal your way through MacOS and get it to do anything you could get Linux to do.
And I hope you're not dumb enough to stay on 10 after end of support. The 0-day fallout for the Nintendo 3DS was pretty big, people had been sitting on exploits for months waiting for the final EOL patch to drop. For a higher-value target like Windows 10? It's gonna be terrifying. Get "Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024" from the mass grave if Windows is the only OS that works for you - it has lower hardware requirements and significantly less crapware. But don't stay on 10 past EOL.
Microsoft owns GitHub, which hosts mass graves. If they wanted people to stop using Windows and Office for free, they could make that happen by flipping a few switches. Given a choice between "pirating" Microsoft products and using an alternative, Microsoft wants you to use their stuff for free. Anything but give Linux any oxygen.
It's Microsoft's own activation mechanism, not some backdoor crack. The point is they know full well it exists and are doing nothing to curb it, because they don't want FOSS picking up steam. Microsoft doesn't make their money off consumers. They make their money off enterprises that don't view Linux environments as feasible because all their workers have ever known is Windows.

Ah. The fuck key. That's the one that most had it's rounds imo. Good memories. Even though I had a legit windows for free back then thanks to my student account.
Doesn't windows eventually shut down every hour when you don't activate it? Or is that just their shitty development VM that does that so I have to reinstall it every 30 days?
i think the only things these days for 'unactivated windows' (home, pro editions) is inability to 'customize the desktop' (change wallpaper, theme...) and occasional activation nags.
it doesn't quit working or shutdown (iirc enterprise or server trials do that after they expire, though) or quit getting updates or anything like that.
I highly doubt they can't stop it and slightly suspect they don't want to. You can install any version of Windows (even enterprise), use MASgrave, wipe the whole thing, reinstall it, and it'll pass online activation as genuine. There's just no way that's an accident.

Mark Knoller, who was a cherished colleague at AP Broadcast and CBS Radio, has died at the age of 73. Mark was the ultimate statistician on the White House beat and it was an honor to interview him for my book about the relationship between presidents and the press. cbsnews.com/news/mark-knoller-…
Mark Knoller was, to put it simply, a legend. For decades, everyone in the White House press corps knew him as the unofficial presidential historian and statistician.
One of my favorite advancements in modern websites for retail stores is that when I am in one of the stores and go onto their website to try to find an item, the website will pick a store at random to be the one to search, and it always actively resists any attempt to change it to the store I'm currently standing in.

‘Naoise Dolan, one of Ireland’s most acclaimed young novelists, will be boarding the Global Sumud Flotilla to break the siege on Gaza.
– 'I’m Naoise Dolan. I’m a writer from Dublin and I’m about to be on a boat on the Sumud mission. We’re sailing to Gaza to bring provisions to the people Israel is committing genocide against.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is a massive effort to break the siege on Gaza, and people from 44 countries are taking part. Why am doing it? Because our own government is complicit in the genocide. They refuse to stop aiding and abetting Israel because they are cowards. I’m scared, of course, but Palestinians face far worse dangers every single day of the genocide and they never had the choice that I do, so my solidarity is with them. I don’t want you to be sad or worried about me. I want you to be angry. The other participants and I are doing this because our government isn’t brave enough to sign legislation. I’m not brave, they’re just spineless.
Palestinians are being murdered, and we lose our own humanity if we don’t stand with them.

Pizzeria il cui sito dice "Grazie a un lungo studio sulle farine in collaborazione con Molino XXX, l’impasto è fatto con una farina di tipo 0 ad alto contenuto di fibra, lievitato per 48 ore e cotto in un forno a legna appositamente progettato dall’azienda YYY Forni che assicura una cottura dolce, mantenendo la pizza scioglievole e leggera senza l’effetto biscotto” già mi faceva dubitare, ma è molto peggio di quanto pensassi. Uno schifo. E un'organizzazione di merda.
@marcoboccaccio = facciamo la pizza come la fanno tutte le pizzerie (con farina da pizza e forno da pizza), ma anziché dedicare tempo e risorse a farla bene, le dedichiamo al marketing.
@valhalla esattamente. Perché le materie prime un po' contano, ma conta di più saperle usare e saper poi gestire nei fatti e non a chiacchiere un locale. Qui è tutta narrazione, e magari c'è anche chi se la beve, ma di sostanza ce n'è pochissima
@valhalla Noi scongeliamo la pizza in padella,abbiamo visto che è più comodo del forno. Ovviamente con il coperchio sopra e abbondanti rami di rosmarino sotto, così il fondo non si brucia.
I was convinced this had to be fake but he really posted this. I was wondering why he would post this then realized it continues his grand tradition of stiffing contractors.
