Never in my life hage I known people (in Germany, but probably everywhere) to he happy with politics. I would also argue that for the vast majority (again, here in Germany) life has improved over the past decades.

IMO the reason for right wing surges aren’t actual real-world problems or failings of ruling parties (though flawed they are), but the new forms of propaganda and outreach that right wing parties have mastered, and left wing parties have failed at.

Uhhhhhh

No? If they are hard, they are dried out. Chewy, sure, that’s the fun; but they should be soft to the touch.

Just in case this post is real: the world does NOT hate you. Not you, not your people, not your country.

We wish you could achieve the freedom to experience the entire world.

Hm? I have never been a mod of anything :)

Oh yeah rust tooling is insanely good ootb

I mean… “To fear”? No. But There are plenty legitimate to remove comments and posts that have nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, to do with mod overreach or censorship.

• removing derailing threads from heated discussions
• removing the annoying “just asking questions” people from LGBTQ+ safe spaces
• removing posts accidentally posted into the wrong community
• removing troll posts
• banning repeat troublemakers not willing to follow the rules
• removing aggressive, sexist, racist,… posts

On the other hand, anti-moderation people only ever seem to come up with “but I want to be able to post whatever I want!”

“Free speech” in this context means: you can go create your own instance or community, with blackjack and hookers! And mods can use the tools at their disposal to enable the rest of us to not have to deal with bullshit.

“We don’t need moderators!” shouts the Troll*, in the wrong community.

* either a troll or just an idiot, doesn’t matter imo

I host about 30 services, so it has crossed my mind. But I like the instance I am on now. Also, since it would almost definitely be just me on there, it would be a colossal waste of time, effort, and resources.

I’m too lazy to insert the “look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power” meme here, so… Please imagine it instead.

I’m switching jobs in a couple of months, and I am SO glad to be leaving a (very well maintained!!) python codebase with type hints and mypy for a rust codebase.

It is just not the same.

Fair… Sorry, I always forget how prominent Apple devices are in the US.

Thunderbird for mobile is great! And in contrast to the gmail app, search actually works, lol

They blamed it on the communist party, yes. There were 8 parties represented in the Reichstag at the time though.

If you feel like everybody else is crazy… I got news for you Buddy!

Oh, agreed - I was just trying to engage with the hypothetical that “cool” was plastering all over this thread.

I have one big frustration with that: Your voice input has to be understood PERFECTLY by TTS.

If you have a “To Do” list, and speak “Add cooking to my To Do list”, it will do it! But if the TTS system understood:

• Todo
• To-do
• to do
• ToDo
• To-Do
• …

The system will say it couldn’t find that list. Same for the names of your lights, asking for the time,… and you have very little control over this.

HA Voice Assistant either needs to find a PERFECT match, or you need to be running a full-blown LLM as the backend, which honestly works even worse in many ways.

They recently added the option to use LLM as fallback only, but for most people’s hardware, that means that a big chunk of requests take a suuuuuuuper long time to get a response.

I do not understand why there’s no option to just use the most similar command upon an imperfect matching, through something like the Levenshtein Distance.

WHO IS GOING TO SELL THEM THEN?

From what you keep repeating over and over in this thread, it seeks like you think the German state should seize Tesla’s assets and sell them off.

That is an absolutely ridiculously unrealistic idea. But hey, let’s say you start campaigning for it TODAY. You start convincing all the “low average intelligence” people in order to get a sufficient portion of the population on board to sway politicians to seize Tesla.

(Note that this is not 50%; for example, legalizing abortions has had far wider support in the German population for a long time, yet it’s not happened so far.)

So let’s be really, REALLY optimistic and say, in 10 years you will be able to get a government voted in which enacts the seizure of Tesla assets, agaojat all corporate-backed influences and interests. And somehow change the Grundgesetz so Tesla can not spend years moving up the courts to prevent this.

Do you see how this does nothing TODAY? I’m all for the systemic change; go vote and campaign in that direction, but here, in this comment section you are not offering a realistic or timely solution. Should nothing he done until your “perfect” solution becomes workable?

Damn you sound envious

I’m sorry, but have you never had actual Cheddar?

Lol

If an employer wants to see your IQ, you probably do not want to work there regardless.
