Harte nie was mit Etsy zu tun, außer das eine Mal als ich einen Account erstellt habe um einen Händler zu melden der Shirts mit rechtsradikalen Aufdrucken verkauft hat. Ich werde mich gleich mal anmelden und schauen was daraus geworden ist. Wenn der noch verkaufen darf würde das ja voll in’s Bild passen.

I switched from IT to manual labor. Working there for 3 month now. If I wouldn’t have kept my fitness regiment while working in IT, I’d have no chance to stand my current job. Walking kilometers through 2 big halls overseeing and operating up to 5 machines using multiple of chemical agents in parallel and sometimes having to do manual labor that amounts to some solid workout sessions.

I still got my private Rust/Vue project and selfhosting stuff which won’t see any slop till it’s done. I do envy people working an office job a bit though. Even if they are bombarded with slop PRs. They don’t know how good they have it if they haven’t worked a job demanding full body commitment and getting up VERY early.

The work I do won’t see any AI in the foreseeable future and they won’t get a replacement for me without lots of investments as my predecessor estimated I’d need a year to learn all the stuff my job demands. I learned it in 2½ months. So a safe bank and good payment. But I yearn for a comfy office chair staring on code the whole day already.

Using it for years now on my VPS with rootless podman containers and steam game servers. The hardware is moderately dimensioned but it performs very well and is extremely reliable. Never had a borked OS upgrade. Is there any reason you’d advise against it?

Thanks for the explanation. Haven’t thought about that. Could imagine YT works with that kind of automatism. And if it does, it’s highly possible it was mass reported as there was a plethora of raving comments about their glorious poster girl’s prowess. I never had the impression Bloomberg has a right wing drift.

Youtube. Either she lost all her wits while being one of the main propagandists in the AfD or she just plays dumb to cater to her audience. Actually she’s very intelligent (not wise though). She was the highest rated student in her class when she ended college (university in Germany) for economics. She eventually promoted with magna cum laude. She was an analyst for Goldman Sachs. She was granted a one year scholarship in Japan and a five year one in China.

That doesn’t change the fact that I hate her wholeheartedly. At the end Joseph Mengele had two doctor titles too and he was a monster.

She’ll destroy so many lifes when she weasels her way into becoming the second female chancelour, as she plans.

In addition she lies like her true masters Lawrow, Peskow and Putler, all the time. I did a fact check on an interview Bloomberg did with her a year ago or so. About every sentence contained wrong data, false information and lies. Completely unchecked by the interviewer. Posted a lengthy comment which amassed some 3000 likes over night and was demanded by commenters to be pinned. Instead it was deleted. I now know what to think of Bloomberg.

IDK. Defender had a good reputation when I still was on Windows, 8 years ago. It was non-intrusive and didn’t slow down the OS like other AV solutions. One good experience I had was when I dragged a zipped e-mail attachment to the desktop out of interest and Defender immediately quarantined it. Don’t understand the MS lingo in the text you quoted but yeah everything mentioning 365 sounds like a PITA. So maybe it’s BS now.

Even the ultra conservative ex-blackrock chancellor Merz with the least favourable public opinion polling results, says it’s impossible, though he regrets the exit, although his own party decided affirmatively on this back then after Fukushima.

CDU/CSU the christian conservative party of Merz had slogans of a reboot of nuclear power in their federal election campaigns and were touting heavy investments in fusion and SMR research and some of the ultra reactionary (no pun) NIMBYs of the CSU wanted to reboot their beloved reactors but always rejected nuclear waste storages in their beautiful state of Bavaria. Now they’re number 4 of 16 German states in solar buildout and Hubert Aiwanger, an infamous CSU politician always ranting against everything woke, is posting videos in which he standing in front of a pasture with grazing sheeps under solar panels and below whispering wind turbines.

The CEO of RWE, which operated the nuclear plants, says it’s not feasible:

Nuclear power is the most expensive form of energy production:

https://www.ise.fraunhofer.de/de/veroeffentlichungen/studien/studie-stromgestehungskosten-erneuerbare-energien.html

The grey bar on the first diagram represents the cost per kilowatt for nuclear. All the bars up to and including the blue bar are renewables. The tax payer would have to shoulder a lot for that all the while solar and batteries are getting cheaper and cheaper with tech like sodium-ion. You also have to train new operators for the power plants while many of those capable of training are already retired. In addition tax payers will still have to cover the cost of dealing with the nuclear waste leaking from the “end-storage” Asse.

All in all reactivating nuclear would heavily up the energy prices. The only chance for turning towards that course is when the fascists from AfD will take over who announced ofc they’ll tear down renewables and reboot the nuclear energy sector as well as the coal energy sector. That bunch of fucking boomers also deny any man made climate change and generally any kind of science and reality.

Don’t know about Apple. My impression is that they take privacy pretty serious. Android though has since a few version ago a green dot in the notification area that indicates when the microphone is active. Also you can set the apps to always ask the user if they want grant the permission for microphone recording. There are also buttons to deactivate the microphone and camera completely.

So yeah it’s easier then ever with current Android versions to not be spied on if the user invests 5 mins to set the microphone and camera permissions of all apps to always ask when used. Like you said other spying IOT devices and data retention (at least for traffic data) at the provider level pose a much greater risk for surveillance.

Just watched the first video. It’s 6 years old but the evidence presented seemed undoubtedly like Instagram and FB were listening to conversations and aggregating the info together with geolocation and surfing behaviour. The insta CEO tried to deflect it with insinuating that the user must have searched for specific keywords previously but the journalists specifically tested it with words in conversations they never exposed their phones to before. 20 mins later they got AD’s on insta.
