Somewhat more freedom, yes. But we should still be wary of ways even that infrastructure could be shut down… https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/export/

Getting new live/installation images or updates from Fedora or RHEL and many other softwares might become difficult if the US seriously wants to hurt us.

With New Caledonia and France the situation is much more complex, but they have the right to an independece referedum and move it all the time.

That is because right now, French colonizers outnumber the natives and they obviously have no interest in independence from France. That so called “democratic” referendum they have a right to would be deeply flawed.

I suggest reading the post again. The first three paragraphs reference Düsseldorf, yes. The last paragraph, that I cited, references Berlin.

I referred to this thread (in German) where exactly what I said (excluding Russian as the original language) is presented as the most likely scenario in the eyes of that person (“Wenn ich mich festlegen müsste …”): https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:y6oz4xihx2fmuqqfp65nj3c7/post/3mbmpvsevb22i

I don’t know her but that thread was referenced in a lot of the media coverage calling her an expert on language and AI. It might be wrong but dismissing it as disinformation is disingeneous if you don’t have insider knowledge.

claimed by a left-wing extremist group.

“Claimed by someone saying they were a left-wing extremist group.” - fify

Someone else claiming to be the same group distanced themselves from the attack and there are important clues pointing to the original post claiming the attack was written in Russian and machine-translated into German.

This article sounds mostly like greenwashing and giving false hopes. They also clearly don’t know what they’re talking about. To me, the most obvious is when they speak about AI-powered grids balancing supply and demand in real time. I’m a researcher in energy management algorithms and that’s pure buzzword vomit without anything backing it up. Notice how short the paragraphs are and that there’s no references to real-world projects or scientific studies, just some random numbers thrown around.

I was totally expecting that phrase when reading “New York Times”. :D

I’ve been lurking on r/thedeprogram for about two years and have seen Smith’s opinions on landlords there multiple times, and upvoted into the thousands. Pretty sure you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Edit: high hundreds, not thousands.

Sadly, my internet connection where I’m at is abysmal and lemmy doesn’t let me upload some examples. Fun fact though: OP’s meme was posted on theDeprogram two years ago.

Tankies also love to rub Adam Smith’s opinions under liberals’ and conservatives’ noses…

In other languages that shouldn’t be equal either though, right?

Maybe you meant

if (2){
console.log("nonzero ints are truthy")
}
else {
console.log("no they're not")
}

Which would output

nonzero ints are truthy

and that would actually work in all languages I know. But that’s different from being equal.

It’s not. Just tried in my Browser Console:

2 == true // returns false

Mh, ‘0’ is a nonempty string, so !‘0’ returns false. Then of course !(!‘0’) would return true. I’d absolutely expect this, Python does the same.

And the second thing is just JavaScript’s type coercion shenanigans. In Python

bool('0') # returns True because of nonempty string
bool(int('0')) # returns False because 0 == False

Knowing that JavaScript does a lot of implicit type conversions, stuff like that doesn’t strike me as very surprising.

It’s definitely easier to electrify maritime transport.

Long-range aviation might not be electrified at all because it’s so hard to get enough energy from batteries without making the plane unable to lift off due to weight, or enough power from fuel cells without taking too much space. Instead we might see hydrogen turbines or synthetic fuel engines.

Either way, maybe we should ask ourselves if a future society should have flight at all? Of course it’s cool that humans were able to achieve flight but right now it mostly serves an overheated capitalism and the short-lived pleasure-seeking of (globally speaking) a few fortunate people.

I disagree with the “the technology is already there” statement. Source: I was part of an aviation electrification research project.

Small regional planes are technologically possible, yes, but transatlantic or transpacific flights? We’re nowhere close to that.

We’re talking about engineers here! We’re using MATLAB or Python if we’re programming at all.

Whoever wrote this has an extremely outdated technical understanding of renewables and energy storage… or wants to push this outdated understanding out of an economic interest/agenda.

Yes, a stable AC grid needs inertia, which was historically only provided by the generators in gas, coal and nuclear power plants. Yes, inverter-connected systems like batteries and PV plants don’t provide inertia naturally. But there are control algorithms out there which would enable these systems to provide inertia just as well… And they could be going into large-scale rollout at least on new batteries and wind power plants within months if it was required by grid codes or incentivized by a market.

I agree that, whatever exactly happened initially, led to a disconnect of the mostly photovoltaic generation in Spain (not yet outfitted with such synthetic inertia algorithms) and the central European grid where more natural inertia was available. The high local PV surplus no longer exported to Europe led to an enormous increase in the grid frequency. The PV plants disconnected which led to a just as quick decrease of frequency and an automatic disconnect of loads - boom, the grid is dead. So far, their analysis was also what I presented to my students on Tuesday. But drawing the conclusion that renewables are bad just reveals either incompetence or an insidious agenda.

Exactly, that sentence also seemed just wrong to me. Everything else is great.

I’m not an egoist anarchist, but the other answer to your question is wrong and I don’t want it to be standing there without correction. Egoism in an anarchist context goes back to “The Ego and His own” by Max Stirner, a German philosopher. He was not an anarchist, but has been and is still very influential on the movement.

Here’s his works on the anarchist library: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/category/author/max-stirner

I haven’t read it myself yet, but read some short summaries. Afaik he wants everyone to acknowledge that we’re basically working in our own self-interest all of the time BUT that this requires cooperation and that helping others without immediate material benefit can be part of our self-interest, e.g. because it makes us feel good or because it builds relationships that might be beneficial later.

Uff… Red Scare war wohl damals schon erfolgreich.

Ich meinte aber tatsächlich eine Quelle dafür, dass Ebert das Mist fand. Ich habe dann aber den Wikipedia-Artikel zum 9.11.1918 durchgelesen. Schwer, dabei nicht zu kotzen.

Ist halt totaler Käse, weil die deutschen Kommunisten keine Bolschewisten waren. Liebknecht und Luxemburg hatten andere Vorstellungen, die viel mehr an der ursprünglichen SPD orientiert waren.

Hast du irgendwelche empfehlenswerten Texte von den beiden, außer den “organisatorischen Fragen zur russischen Sozialdemokratie” und dem unfertigen Text zur Oktoberrevolution aus dem Gefängnis?
