  • Russian propaganda molded a big part of a nation and some of its media into a submissive lab dog. Amazing that it became the Republican Party cozening up to Russia and making this 180° turn of it previous stance without losing the empty mind of their followers, as Russia transformed themself closer to the republican extreme it is today creating a match made in hell. Brother in heart, cruel, authoritarian, corrupt, brass, lying, projecting, and slaying anyone who falls out of line. And in the End of all the politics Bowtie-Tucky sits on Putins lab, panting, drooling, like the spineless overbred dog he is.

    Carlson is a millionaire funded by billionaires (Rutger Bregman).





  • Hey Guys, Microsoft is cool now, they really care for Open Source now, they changed.

    How do people always forget, how often they get fucked by that company in the last 20 years, that they think anything changed? They still abuse their monopoly, they still buy up the work of others and they still will then dilute it down for their bottom line and restrict it to force you to use a login to harvest data on your profile (see also Windows).

    Everyone who said it’s cool that MS bought Github, because they are now Pro-Open-Source: Can we please have a round table every 2 years and talk. Because I think you guys are victims of the Stockholm syndrome and do not even notice.


  • Write it down for now so you do not lose the memory if it is so precious to you. Maybe it will be even better the next time coding it. I think many coders have a “loose copy” or a “code gist” of previous versions of their favorites codes around. I never created a code that I framed and hanged on my wall, but some came close. I would not publish it under your real name any time soon. At least not as long as you work in that company +1-2y. If you choose to publish it in the next 6 month under a very different name, in another account, with another repo name, because you love FOSS so much, and it looks different to the original code in format and style (and the presentation of data = frontend), then I see no problem. Just two guys having a similar idea. Not a lawyer though.






  • Same with Narwhal. They released some days ago their 2.0 App and already mentioned that in a couple of weeks the payment will start. The crazy part (besides the astronomical price) is that you pay for each API request. So every time you upvote, you make an API request and have to pay for it. YOU, the user, gonna pay for GIVING Reddit your engagement. That is crazy. Every Social Media plattform is trying too squeeze out as much engagement as possible from their userbase and now the user has to pay for it too. At this point, the best thing would be to deactive your your up/downvote buttons and comment buttons, to ease on the API requests. The the exact contrary of what the plattforms wants you for. I deleted the App after a decade of usage the same day. Reddit got everything from me. Engagement, Comments and my whole leaning on political and cultural topics based on my votes and comments to build a profile. Now they get nothing out of me. Fuck you Spez.







  • Am I missing something? Norway is not part of the EU and therefore Facebook does not have to apply EU regulations to their products for Norway customers. How does Norway handle those things in general? Does Norway apply a lot of Regulations (for example) for Pesticides and Environmental Regulation mostly verbatim to their own code shortly after the EU or do you have debates/votes/referendums regarding those topics in your own political spheres? I know that Norway is very far ahead when it comes to securing their environmental treasures. But I have no idea if or how Norway applies for advancements in customer protection regulations like the GDPR* and such


    EDIT:

    • I just notice on the GDPR Wiki Page that while the EU adopted the GDPR regulation in 2016, apparently in this case Norway also applied it 2 years later.

    20 July 2018: the GDPR became valid in the EEA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway),[142] after the EEA Joint Committee and the three countries agreed to follow the regulation.

    So, I do not know why Facebook is showing you Ads that sound like they break the EEA GDPR. Maybe you should report this to your local/national data security office or customer protection office.
