  • This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN.

  • The Third Place Index - a project which combines OSM and US Census data to score the availability of "third places" nationwide.

    Jump

  • Yes, it is never complete, but you have to compensate for that. Otherwise you kinda end up with a map of openstreetmap coverage quality rather than whatever you were trying to research.

  • This doesn't compensate at all for mapping coverage, which makes it really bad data.

  • Wealthy Americans top ‘golden visa’ surge in New Zealand and applications from China double

  • It will bring money to rich assholes running various luxury businesses, and might bring up real estate prices which benefits rich assholes who own a lot of land.

  • There was very very little to complain about with her.

    • Promising full military support to a settler colony currently committing a genocide using US weapons
    • Campaigning with fucking Cheneys and pandering to fascists
    • Not promising any actual support for trans people, stopping at "I will follow the law"
    • Abandoning universal healthcare push
    • Not being actually voted on by anyone, instead just appointed by DNC
    • Most importantly: she's a neolib, and the working class has been suffering materially due to neolib policies for the past 50 years, people want change

    There is a shitton to complain about her. If you are knowingly pushing the idea she was a good candidate you're a genocide enabler.

    I would've voted for her if I was in the US (because the alternative is slightly worse in many ways). But, moral qualms aside, it's crazy to just shove a status-quo establishment neoliberal and expect people who are surviving paycheck-to-paycheck due to that very ideology to be excited about it.

  • JOOC why and when was .librewolf folder moved to .config on Linux Mint?

    Jump

  • Apps on a modern Linux system are supposed to follow this spec. Not following it is considered a bug, same as if apps used any other spec-defined filesystem directory incorrectly (e.g. imagine putting config files in /lib or something).

    BTW by default neither of these other people will get notified by your comment.

  • Morge continvoucly

  • I really hope "morging continvoucly" becomes a meme and is used to mock microsoft forever

  • Americans should close all their bank accounts & open new accts, thanks to Elon who exfiltrated the entire social security DB & leaked it to Cloudflare

    Jump

  • It is logistically impossible for an entire country of 300 million to do that in any reasonable timeframe.

    The only two options going forward are: (1) abandon SSNs as a method of identity verification and switch to something better, (2) drown in continuous scams and identity theft forever.

    Since the former requires a government that is competent at governance and a population that can adapt to basic administrative changes, the US is now stuck with the latter for the foreseeable.

  • Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead

    Jump

  • Even if that happens (which is not an inevitability, since China historically has been doing things quite differently from the US), it is no worse than status quo. Until then, unless you are an active threat to China, and are planning on visiting it, you don't have to worry about it.

  • Sooo, same as right now, but with way less possibility to be used against me? Sign me up!

  • Jikipedia turns Epstein’s emails into an encyclopedia of his powerful friends

    Jump

  • It can provide you some information that looks similar to what you'd want. Whether it is correct is another question.

    RAG can help to a degree but hallucinations still happen quite a bit.

  • EU is now outpacing the US in GitHub activity

    Jump

  • Stop using Github! codeberg.org is right here. Or if you're into simpler web 1.0-like things, there's also git.sr.ht (but it is ran by someone who may be a pedo).

  • Russia is restricting access to Telegram, one of its most popular social media apps.

    Jump

  • It still works without proxy for my family (as of earlier today), except for calls. I don't know if this is telegram doing some block evasion or the block hasn't kicked in fully yet.

    In any case, unless they ban like 80% of outside internet, there will still be a few obfuscated VPN servers & tor bridges working. Everyone who knows their stuff will be able to access the outside, same as in China.

    Jump

  • They tried (and failed) before the war too. Telegram has no privacy, poor security, but they are really good at evading blocks.

  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    Jump

  • Ok, so this makes the most sense to me. This would indeed need to be handled, I think the best solution is for EU to come up with a set of dispute resolution procedures and pass it as a law for everyone to follow. That way, disputes would be resolved the same way regardless of what network or bank you are using, which sounds the most reasonable to me.

  • WSJ is catching up

  • Marxism is the objective truth. It's not some random cult, it's a well-established and studied economic theory that predicted many developments of capitalism when it was still in its early stages.

  • Protestation

    Jump

  • USSR had a lot of issues, but was a lot better (for the working class) than what was before and what came after. The reason for red scare was to prevent the western working class from overthrowing the oligarchy.

    Right now, China is surpassing western neoliberal nations by carefully mixing socialist and capitalist modes of production, guided by Marxism-Leninism with further theoretical developments.

    You gotta go out and read some books dude.

  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    Jump

  • Aha, interesting. I never had a credit card because it would be too stressful for me to take out micro-loans for stuff. Still weird that it's visa/MC money and not your bank's though.
