  • Everything has LEDs now and they drive me nuts

    Jump

  • I wonder which of those appliances will stop working if I drill into the LED with a micro drill... Tape is good, but not perfect. I have a bluetooth speaker in my bedroom, and of all colours it has to use bright blue LEDs as a power on indicator :-( I have the speaker now in a leather bag at night, which does not exactly improve the sound quality.

  • Wagner boss met Vladimir Putin five days after mutiny, Kremlin says

    Jump

  • He's consolidated the military under the MoD umbrella,

    Has he? He lost capable military leaders from Wagner, and those forced to fight alongside Russian troops fight now alongside troops which bombed them before. I hardly imagine there is much trust or comrades between Russian military and Wagner troops.

    his comradery with Lukashenko likely improved,

    It strengthened Lukashenko.

    the West is admitting that Ukraine is running out of ammo (thus the cluster ammunition)

    ... which has nothing to do with the attempted coup

    and he (or rather Lukashenko) has a strong private army close to the Ukrainian border, about 90km from Kiev

    It really depends if that army still fights for Putin. The smear-campaign against Prigozhin wouldn't make sense in this scenario.

    Putin looks like messing about, trying to make the best of the situation, with no clear plan. He looks weak, and maybe worse, plan-less.

    How? The whole point of the GPL is that they can't.

  • Latvia swears in Edgars Rinkevics as EU's first openly gay president

    Jump

  • President, specifically. The prime minister of Ireland is also openly gay (I think he has a husband), and Elio di Rupo was the first openly gay prime minister in the EU, Belgium to be specific.

  • AMD CPU Use Among Linux Gamers Approaching 70% Marketshare

    Jump

  • I think the Ryzen CPU just gives more bang for the buck, as well considering purchase price as energy consumption. That's not Linux related, but I think Linux users generally tend to care less about "market leader", sometimes even as far as consciously supporting the underdog.

  • Alpha males just like alpha software

  • I'd like to know when that came up first. I thought I mentioned it before reading it anywhere, three months ago or so, would be interesting to see if there are actually older quotes to this effect.

  • Can we stop making posts to complain about new users complaining about reddit?

    Jump

  • Fully agree! Let's focus on posts complaining about posts complaining about users complaining about Reddit instead ;-)

  • Online dating

    Jump

  • They are trained to give answers which sound convincing on a first glance, for simple questions in most fields that strongly correlates with the correct answer. So, asking something simple on a topic I have no clue has a high likelihood to yield the answer I'm looking for.

    The problem is, if I have no clue, the only way to know if I exceeded the "really simple" ralm is by trying the answer and failing, because chatgpt has no concept of verifying it's own answers or identifying its own limitations, or even to "learn" from it's mistakes, as such.

    I do know some very similar humans, though: Very assertive, selling guesses and opinions as facts, overestimating themselves, never backing down. ChatGPT might replace tech-CEOs or politicians 😁

  • 6 things that threaten Europe, according to … the EU

    Jump

  • Interesting...

    "2. A sustainable economic model" [...] It [the EU] should also consider how to reduce the tax burden on labour and to shift it to other tax bases less detrimental to growth

    "5. Too much inequality [...] More redistribution,

    This sounds like a strategic decision for wealth tax?

  • So how do I decommission a Lemmy instance properly?

  • There is nothing wrong with using standard phrases, but everything wrong with gatekeeping them.

    And yes, I'm looking at you, @ElBarto777@reddthat.com!

  • 'Great news': EU hails discovery of massive phosphate rock deposit in Norway

    Jump

  • tl;dr:

    • It's significant because the EU has phosphate on the list of critical raw materials
    • Norway deposit is estimated 70b tons at least, the biggest in the world
    • Phosphate is essential for fertilizers, car batteries and solar panels
    • The new reserves are supposed to last for a 100 years

  • Musk is undeniably just trying to run twitter into the ground at this point.

  • "Read" means they are displayed in your browser. I used to have Twitter open and hit reload once in a while during work, I definitely loaded more than 300 Tweets per day, especially when clicking on an interesting one once in a while loading all the replies automatically.

  • Protests broke Reddit hack for useful Google search results—and Google knows it

    Jump

  • The article starts with absolute non-news: To get results on reddit.com you should addd site:reddit.com to your search, not just Reddit.

    Unfortunately, I think this is a disadvantage of the Fediverse when it comes to search: The "site:" operator won't work when searching for topics discussed e.g. on Lemmy since there is no common, general domain name.

    Maybe that would be a great next step for a search-engine provider to be better: Add a new, flexible operator, like scope, and index the data of the fediverse or other distributed services for search. E.g. DIY Esp8266 camera activator scope:fediverse, scope:lemmy or maybe scope:diaspora

  • UK government considers preparing for scenario of unexpected collapse of Russian Federation

    Jump

  • So, the two conflicting armies of Russia shooting at each other, the minister of defence not anticipating this although he instigated it, the president running away, both (minister and president) not addressing the nation in a speech for 3 days after the incident, and the revolutionary leaving on his own account without suffering any substantial losses?

    The Russian army bombarded Wagner camps, starting the whole affair, Wagner shot down helicopters of the Russian army during the march. Do you think that will strengthen the ties between Wagner troops and the Russian army to cooperate better in the future? Wagner didn't face any notable resistance the first cities they passed through, and that is a show of strength for Putin? Yeah, no. I don't think that makes much sense, sorry.

    Putin will have to go full berserker mode now to portrait some strength, make an example of the mayors of those cities, axe the minster of defence for being obviously incompetent here, and arrange a polonium-tea or something for Prigozhin. And while this might help him save his face as strong leader, it will probably lead to more resistance from others.
