This party is not far-left, it is just left. But that is not the point. My point is that a headline about anti-left alarmism hit the HN front page. This is unusual; the HN crowd keep their discussions out of daily politics most of the time. So, this has the smell of importance. Alarm! Far-left!
And this is weird because Germany is in real danger of electing a fascist government at the moment. There is not the tiniest chance of socialist projects coming to power, but the far-right is winning—except for Berlin.
And then an OMG-far-left headline pops up here. This headline was made to push anti-left fear, not to inform the readers.
As a walkthrough, it is nice. But as the foundation for the game designers, it would be a fun because it is so lighthearted.
I don't think it is useful to detect AI writing. I told my AI not to use em dashes.
Geo links are from a RFC and are plain simple: geo:52.512974,13.420131
Clicking this link should open your chosen local map app at this position.
But it does not, actively sabotaged by big map app players who want only links to their app.
It has a lnsd daemon which runs the full stack as a native binary and some firmware implementations (like for the Heltec T114).
I always remember the movie Brazil when I have to interact with a stupid cybernetic apparatus like every big company, where simple programs are the brain and low-paid humans are the actuators.
That's horrible, worse than attacking a machine with malware, damaging persons and societies.
Decades of ad propaganda have tricked people into seeing them as something 'normal'. But we shouldn't accept being under constant attack of brain worms.
I propose a sane rule for all humans: if you see an ad somewhere, or if you suspect a hidden ad ('influencers' trying to promote something), close the tab immediately and never return to that site.
Decentralised infrastructure: good
Centralised infrastructure: bad
Good and bad for you, of course. For the big companies selling and controlling this stuff, it's vice versa.
Just stay alert and don't chain yourself with big tech dependencies. The reason Git is great is its decentralised nature. If you got so far, why cripple yourself by running your traffic through a single American company like Cloudflare?
It would have been so much better if we had simply decided back in the ’90s that executable programs and HTML don’t belong together. The world would be so much better today.
We should decouple the publishing of papers from academic careers completely. Papers can't generate any reputation or money for the authors anymore. To achieve that, we must anonymize the authors.
All scientists get some (paid) time to write papers — if they want. What they write and if they publish it is not known to anybody. They are trusted to write something of value in that time.
Universities can come up with other ways of judging which professors they hire. Interviews. Test teachings. Or the writing of an non-public application essay, which describes their past research and discoveries.
That is the normal situation, which is the foundation of the progression of civilisation. But some people install incentive systems to sabotage this. They are sabotaging civilisation itself.
The effect after taking the Vitamin longer than 24 weeks is not significant anymore.

The production of renewable electricity is skyrocketing everywhere, far better than predicted. And that's not because of clever politics, but because the technology is good and cheap.
This has only advantages for everyone. Except for a few fossil fuel investors whose profits are marginally reduced. We may even be able to limit global warming to three degrees, giving us a better window of opportunity to come up with solutions for large-scale carbon capture in the 22nd century.
What's more, photovoltaics is super interesting and great to tinker with—it's huge nerd fun.
Can't we all just be happy when we see headlines like this?
Very funny sentence, if you are an atheist.
deal-killer... or basic feature?
It quite smells like the hacker spirit of the 80s, mixed with a little spiritualism and anarchism. Very refreshing after so many other people are just disillusioned, worn out, angry, or frightened.
It looks like a quick vibe coded hack to implement a subset, tailored only for Beechat's own devices.
If someone would want to implement a full no_std Reticulum lib, they would need to start from scratch.
1. The library is written in Python. If you want to design phone apps, Linux server daemons in C, or embedded software (for example for the Lilygo T-Deck) this is a bad choice. Somehow doable (execpt for embedded), but no fun. A small lib with C API and C ABI would be better.
2. Most of the end user software has a horrible UI. But it gets better with software like the Android messenger Columba (https://github.com/torlando-tech/columba).
If we would solve 1., we would have more end user software.
Currently, there are 4 project who try to solve 1. by writing a Reticulum lib with a low-level language, everybody does it in their favorite language and on their own, of course: C++, Zig, Rust, Go
The Rust implementation from Beechat seems the most mature. But I did not see it used in the wild, outside of Beechat's own devices.
