Roberto von ArchimboldiWindows 11 is so full of bugs. I know that I am preaching to the converted, but at least when my Mint installation starts doing funny things, someone can teach me how to fix it. (Still trying to get my Bluetooth working again and my ersatz clicklock. I think that I did something to the kernel in a failed attempt to get VirtualBox to work).
Christine Sætre-esqueHigh number of commits ≠ Impressive commits. Just aberrant.
Also note: “a 4x growth in code cloning and a rise in ‘copy/paste’ behavior” …
That’s what you would expect to see as a crowd of engaged amateurs around the world try the Big New Thing turorials, while professionals around the world simultaneously test the claims for themselves.

Similarly iOS app releases were up 55% vs last January, and new website registrations rose 34% year over year globally after years of flatlining. AI productivity gains have hit software in a major way. https://www.ft.com/content/5ac2ee5f-f8bd-4f39-a759-3c5c50c8b37e

Karen Keiller 🥌 📚I wrote a piece on alternative social media and it got posted on the library’s web site.
“Have you been wondering if there is an alternative to using traditional social media designed to enrage and sell you stuff? Are you disturbed that your Uncle George has started drinking his own urine because he’s convinced of the health benefits? Do you throw up your hands in despair at the firehouse of dis- and misinformation in the world?”

KochrezeptevereinfacherIch finds gut und sehe es ähnlich wie Du unten beschreibst.
Die Wahl der Schriftart und der Flaggenhintergrund ist irritierend, aber sorgt auch dafür, dass die Leute hinsehen und -lesen, die nicht bereits zur #Antifa-Crowd gehören, aber vielleicht anfällig sind für #blauschwarzbraun .
Um solche Leute zu erreichen, sollten wir eingeübte ästhetische Muster auch mal aufbrechen, sonst erreichen wir nur die eigenen Leute #preachingtothechoir ...
Doh! Moot posting that here.
If you are here on Mastadon you are probably already tech-savvy, likely to consider alternatives and probably an open-source enthusiast.
LorryThe one good thing about this whole Christian Conservative Nationalism nonsense happening in America is at least the Canadian working classes should theoretically realise what voting for the Conservatives could easily create here, and that the right is definitely not on the side of anyone who earns less than $500,000+ a year and who isn't a white male.
The working classes in the US are facing costs of living going up by tens of thousands of dollars a year, because they are being told they will save a few hundred dollars a year on things like cheaper gas, a lack of carbon taxes, not having to pay for regulation. They can't do the maths because they don't have the data from their propaganda disguised as TV (although Fox is slowly starting to realise what's happening, I am pleased to say). And they have been indoctrinated with the belief that the news-sources they should trust are the enemy and broadcasting fake news - All of them, all around the world.
The first step in the dictator's playbook is to take over the media and make the people think that other media is all lies. Do you think people in North Korea would trust a CBC, NBC or BBC documentary on anything, even just kids going to school and wondering what jobs to take when they leave? Nope, that's fake news to the Koreans, same as it's fake news to so many Americans sitting at home watching Newsmax all day because Fox has started lying to them.
Social security, if it's not completely scrapped, will be made work dependent - So people who rely on that will be doing the jobs that the immigrants or people in China can no longer do, because "America First" - So we will have Veterans and the Disabled working in factories and fields, they will become the new indentured workers, working till they die. And this isn't a wild prediction, it's what they say they are going to do, it's no secret.
Trump says he loves the "poorly educated" (note - He didn't say the poor), and Pee Pee, with his Trump, Christian-nationalist, Canada First playbook, does too.
Thankfully, Canada mostly has a decent education system - But still, propaganda and misinformation is well crafted (by the very educated, we social psychologists have to do something with all of those degrees now we can't sell you tobacco) and it works very well. It doesn't help that the liberals here are very much into shooting themselves in the foot, presumably with the guns they want to confiscate for no reason from a huge chunk of their potential voters. So we'll see what happens.
I am preaching to the choir on here, obviously, but it's a good place to store rants :D

Irfan@vij I can’t speak for other minorities, but there is a significant Indian populist movement which espouses the “wages and luxury for me” ideology. #PreachingToTheChoir
