Bernie Sanders to voters skipping presidential election over Israel: ‘Trump is even worse’
  • I just have no idea what these people who think Harris is a bad idea for Palestinians are actually thinking. And really, I don’t think they are thinking at all.

    They live in cloud cuckoo land where Biden/Harris can just tell Netanyahu "Fuck off and shove a grenade up your arse, you genocidal maniac" and that would actually work.

    CEO Pay Has Risen 1,085% Since 1978, But for Workers? Just 24%
  • Well, if the government heavily taxed everything above like 100 million $$$, then the money would flow back into the economy, which it obviously doesn't while being sat on by pathologic hoarders.

    EU-Wahl fürs Klima: Grüne, Klimaliste oder Letzte Generation?
  • Grüne sind die "sichere" Wahl, aber gerade weil sie relativ populär sind traue ich denen auch (von diesen dreien) am wenigsten zu, besonders dann, wenn keine Parteien im Parlament sind, die für extremere Klimaschutzmaßnahmen sind.

    Letzte Generation ist die Backpfeife für die Weichspülpolitik der letzten Jahrzehnte, was die tatsächlich erreichen werden / können falls sie Sitze bekommen ist die andere Frage.

    Klimaliste wäre der konstruktive Mittelweg, aber auch hier die Frage ob sie genug Stimmen bekommen werden.

    Die fehlende Prozent-Hürde bei dieser Wahl halte ich für einen Grund, eher für eine dieser beiden zu stimmen, weil es die letzte Chance ist sie auch mit weniger Stimmen ins Parlament zu bekommen.

    EU-Wahl fürs Klima: Grüne, Klimaliste oder Letzte Generation?
  • Es ist noch eine ganze Weile nicht zu spät weitere Folgeschäden zu vermindern. Dazu muß man aber halt die Maßnahmen ergreifen für die man die letzten Jahrzehnte zu bequem war anstatt komplett aufzugeben und zu hoffen daß die kommende Katastrophe einen möglichst wenig betrifft und das Problem auf den Rest der Welt abzuwälzen der sich nicht in seiner Wohlstandsblase verstecken kann.

    Free Tiny Blockbuster
  • The thick plastic player with the ridges is pretty resilient, but above that is a reflective layer for the laser, and a protective lacquer layer (often printed on). If those layers get damaged and delaminate due to harsh handling, UV / heat, and / or moisture getting between them then the laser will have difficulties focusing and thus reading a disc.

    Should still last years in such an exposed public free library setting where long-term preservation is probably not a goal, and get way more use out of them than sitting in personal closets where they'd last longer.

    German politician ‘filmed taking Russian money’
  • The CxU (among others) is working on making those clowns a viable coalition partner by taking them seriously and talking to them on TV. Maybe that's not their intention, but it will be the result if it continues.

    Rising microplastics in seas puts pressure on tyre industry | tires produce 78% of all microplastics on Earth by weight
  • "Eliminates" is a bit misleading. Calcium carbonate in the water traps the particles, some in the layer that builds up in the pot, the rest can be filtered out easier because the resulting particles are bigger.

    The problem with not voting
  • If possible I prefer voting for a small party / candidate even if they have no chance at winning. That way it actually takes away votes from the big options, while blanks are just ignored in the reported results. At least that's how it works here, the first thing ignored are the non-voters, next invalid / blank votes, and the only thing that matters and gets reported on are valid votes.

    Really beginner question: How is the trans community a threat to anyone?
  • There are so many things to be concerned about in the world

    That's exactly it. Present day conservatives don't have any solutions to current problems, so they have to make up a boogieman that has to take the blame for all that is wrong in the world (instead of the actual causes) and that only they can save their followers from (because everyone else is already "indoctrinated".) Anything that's against "traditions" is a good target (often a minority that's starting to get treated in a more equal way.)

    Simple Mobile Tools is being sold to a for-profit firm ZipoApps
  • "we specialize in acquiring under-optimized apps in an industry that is highly fragmented. We use our optimizing operations, deploy its technology, and generate cash flow from the apps. "

    "we developed an AI technology that knows how" "to monetize the right user at the right stage of their app experience"

    (https://everything-pr.com/zipoapps-tech-talk-with-the-entrepreneur-co-founder-and-ceo-gal-avidor/)

    Sounds like they just keep the apps around and try to squeeze as much money out of the users they have bought.

    Simple Mobile Tools is being sold to a for-profit firm ZipoApps
  • The only restriction is that they have to keep their modifications open source

    And since it's GPL that any additions are compatible with the GPL, which the ad / tracking stuff they're likely to add likely isn't.

    And if all development effort moves to the fork, Zipo can still take that fork and redistribute it under the “Simple Mobile Tools” name.

    Only if they don't add their own proprietary shit, and if they don't, how would their "bully users to pay for features" business model work?

    According to https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/General-Discussion/issues/241#issuecomment-1837837729 "like 99% of the current code has been written by me and other paid devs, so no need to overreact the licensing thing" it seems like the remaining 1% is going to be ignored or possibly even removed if they think that leaving that in might open them up to DMCA claims by disgruntled contributors - which taking code from an open source fork would definitely do.

    Does anyone else feel like Lemmy is getting SO MUCH better?!!
  • The reddit exodus has almost equalized things I think, there's still more stuff posted on reddit but it's low quality garbage (noticeably more than before), most interesting news etc. are here as well.

  • IIRC the proposal includes some crypto-handshake verification to make sure the attestor is who it claims to be, so no, apps can't just fake it. Or, if some of those secret keys leak and apps use it, sites won't accept it anymore.

  • It still doesn't matter. A website can choose which attestors to trust (if they had to trust all of them the whole thing would be useless), so Youtube can just deny access to the video streams to anything that isn't a trusted browser environment, and anything third party like Invidious, Piped, Newpipe, Freetube... won't be able to work anymore.
