I get that we wouldn't want to single out specific nations over others on the designs. But I kinda wish we would national designs like we do for the coins, one side's standardized and the other gets a custom design depending on the nation. I think we'd get a lot very neat variety, but I understand that it makes things a lot more complicated and expensive.

An e.V. (eingetragener Verein) is a legal structure in Germany, the tldr is (I'm not a lawyer this isn't legal advice): • there has to be an annual assembly where all members get invited to • members may send in proposals, which get voted on during the assembly (in codebergs case the voting is done asynchronously, you get like 14 days to fill in your votes) • members elect the people on the board • the e.V. also needs to have formal bylaws for which any change has to be voted on and it's a bunch of paperwork to change them (see https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/src/branch/main/en/bylaws....)

A member is someone that signs up and pays a membership fee (currently that's at least 24€/year, see https://join.codeberg.org/). So yes, the people that pay get to vote. But we're also the ones sending money in to pay for the servers (which is the main source of income for Codeberg), since the e.V. is considered charitable I'm pretty sure this is legally a donation but im not gonna pretend to know things about our tax system.

I get that this sounds strange to people outside of Germany but it's a very common thing here, your local football club is an e.V. for example. It's also not that rare within the foss/software/nerd space, KDE and the CCC are both Vereine as well.

e.V. members get to send in proposals which are voted on in the (yearly) general assembly, this was one such vote. So everyone who voted is known by their full name and address (a legal requirement for an e.V. in Germany). There is no sabotage here.

Are you two only donating or are you members of the e.V.? Because I got the invitation to the assembly and 9 separate emails for each of the polls.

What does any of this have to do with AI?

That's the neat part: the money doesn't have to exist at all.

And once you go through enough hops and convince the world that this thing which your company happens to be pioneering will forever change the world and everyone will use it the money circle isn't even relevant because the entire goal was to make your stock prices skyrocket and now you're valued at ridiculous levels!

Just make sure to get out of it all before any Investor actually wants to see real profit being made.

> Zuck isn't spending billions to just not release this stuff. Well uh.. what happened to his metaverse?

I feel like we need to heavily differentiate between a rewrite and an AI rewrite.

I had a similar experience with Google Maps, I used to live in a place where the house on Google maps was located on the wrong street, like one parallel street off. I put in a few requests from time to time because deliveries were a huge pain, to no avail. I opened a thread on some Google forum or support place and then it was mentioned that I actually can't change that because only the city is allowed to... why I get the option in the app I don't fully understand. At some point it got fixed but I have no idea why. Of course it was a few months before I moved out

It's perfectly fine to disagree with a court's decision, what's the crime here?

Yeah I always disliked that there's this idea that you can't put a body on a GET request. Iirc openapi generators goes out of its way to not support that which has lead to me writing a small rant into an API specification before to explain why the get_xyz uses POST...

You'd hope so but I fear that many safety critical aspects run on the same system as the infotainment system... And that's a perfect excuse for manufacturers to keep these things completely closed

Are you really complaining about the fact that we need to deploy firewalls?

Can't speak for IOS but for android users I highly recommend Firefox for android, since you can install ublock origin within it. Let's be real, browsing the modern internet is downright impossible without it today.

"They are rare edge cases" are we on the same internet?

Well the look and feel is subjective, I like KDE because it feels like what windows could have been if it was done well.

As for the scaling, I use it on a 1080PC laptop screen but also sometimes my 3440x1440 display and haven't really run into bad scaling. Were you using X11 or Wayland? I've been on Wayland for years.

Just go for whatever DE looks pretty to you, I personally like KDE. Don't be afraid to switch to a different desktop later on, its just a few packages to install most of the time.

As for distros, pick something established that looks good to you. You said you have experience, so you probably know what you want from a distro. I ran arch on my machine a lot but recently switched to fedora for its simpler installation.

It was honestly a downgrade i ended up just putting the 4 digits I had before at the end of my username cause surprise the name was taken immediately

I mean, nothing stops you from taking the device tree from raspbian and tinkering with other distros. But that's true for most other boards since they have to ship a device tree with their official image.

Raspberry Pi supports their images long term however, so you won't have to do that anytime soon.

Another benefit of raspberry pi is its popularity, there are just more projects out there compared to less known SBC manufacturers. Iirc the Archlinux arm project have images for the raspberry pi 4 (maybe 5).

How can you say its open source and 3 sentences later that it has a proprietary license.

Their EULA forbids distributing the software, hence not open source.

> The Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, criticised the approach as “automated suspicion”. It said: “Officers must not be subjected to opaque or untested tools that risk misinterpreting unsustainable workload pressures, sickness or overtime as indicators of wrongdoing.”

Oh so when they target police officers these measures are questioned, but when police departments deploy them to spy on the general populace I guess its fine...

Idk man, amongst thousands of layoffs (assuming op is in the USA) I'd take "blood money" over uh... starvation

We should be talking about that

Only one participant can stream in a call. An arbitrary restriction that I just dont understand. You also can't properly full screen when you're viewing a screen share, for whatever reason....

I never understood the credit card thing Why would I want to spend money on loan by default? Why do the Americans do that all the time? What's the benefit?

And screen sharing, like actually good screen sharing unlike Microsoft teams That is a huge feature for many people

> They can write code better than you or I can, and if you don’t believe me, wait six months.

I feel like I've been hearing this exact sentence for 2 years now...

Ah open source 3D CAD is a topic on its own... Personally I like to use Dune3D and solve space, but those only do 3D modeling.

Its more chaotic-stupid Honestly the punishment should be harsher

It's been a comfortable journey for me. There's a support library for the arm cortex I'm using so it was very easy to get some LEDs to blink. Obviously we had to implement some drivers manually (UART for example) and there's lots of unsafe code, but overall the language makes a lot of things very nice on bare metal.
