Iraqi refugee's 7-year old daughter who died in the Channel was born in Belgium and lived in Sweden, but has never been in Iraq (www.bbc.com)

Belgium reportedly denied Ahmed Alhashimi asylum by arguing that Basra, his hometown in Iraq, was classified as a safe area. He said his children spent the last seven years staying with a relative in Sweden, but that he was recently informed that they would be deported, with him, to Iraq....

fr0g,

Is any of that relevant or the family’s fault?

fr0g,

It does not give context. They were deported by Belgium.

fr0g,

A lot of the mainstream apps definitely have privacy issues. They often sell data about their users menstrual cycles which can theoretically be bought by anti-abortion activists/authorities on the free market to track whether someone might be pregnant.

fr0g,

This is the best FOSS keyboard that’s under active maintenance.

I assume that might be a reference to FlorisBoard? Because development on that one as actually picked up again, but that’s only visible so far if you’re using the Beta version. They’re opreparing for a new full release.

fr0g,

StreetComplete and its expert editions are definitely my favourite way to contribute to OpenStreetMaps on mobile. There’s also Vespucci which allows you to do more complex stuff like add paths and shape, but the UI isn’t super great imo. Organic Maps which I use for navigation actually allows you to edit and contribute quite a bit.

YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blocking (alternativeto.net)

The company’s team clarified that their terms prohibit third-party apps from disabling ads, as it denies creators their due reward for viewership. Although the announcement did not specify any app by name, it’s plausible to presume that third-party YouTube apps such as NewPipe, YouTube ReVanced, Piped, and others might be...

Which is at least less than all the other big platforms are taking.

Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed (mastodon.social)

For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

Thread showing meta hid a comment that mentioned Pixelfed
fr0g,

Or maybe the original post was simply muted for a different reason.

Server boosts: a sustainability model for pyfedi?

Discord is a very popular chat application which has a business model that is partly based around the concept of Server Boosts. In this model, people "boost" (sponsor) the "servers" (chat rooms) they are part of. They do so by paying Discord the parent company, but it unlocks benefits for both the chat rooms they are a member of...

fr0g,

I don’t think there the “one” model for financial sustainability on the fediverse. Many Mastodon instances already have Patreons etc, some require payment to make an account. So many of these things are fairly established already and can be accomplished in a low tech way without the software having to implement any special features for it.

fr0g,

That’s nice. My first attempt at getting the codeberg repo running failed, but I also didn’t try to look too hard into it. Think I will be trying this next in an Ubuntu distrobox container

fr0g,

Yes, the idiotic fallacy of giving greater weight to the opinion of an authority at the subject being discussed. It is no match to the logical chad move of giving weight to the opinion of a random internet commentator who claims something is nonsense without giving any reason or explanation why.

fr0g,

You hinged your entire position on theirs.

I did what? That was my first post in this entire thread.

fr0g, (edited )

Well, who’s gonna pay for your medical care when you inevitably develop drug problems/health issues. So in a socialized healthcare system, you are harming others with it.

(And not offering treatment or making the patient pay for it which they often won’t be able to, would be very inhumane imo)

fr0g,

The law does make sense, if you put it into practice. In practice the dry weight amounts will probably just be checked on the street. Checking your home will require a warrant which isn’t easy to come by, so they’re not gonna bother about cases where it might be three or four plants or this or that many grams.

fr0g,

I don’t know if reader mode is available on the android in-app browser as I don’t use android

It is.

fr0g,

Personally, I would suggest antiX Linux. It is well known that the antiX name is supposed to stand for “anti politiX”

fr0g,

Wie süß. Der denkt, er würde in Zukunft noch mit irgendwem koalieren, statt unter der 5%-Hürde zu versauern.

fr0g,

Was’n Quatsch!

Das sind dann die 18-jährigen, zukünftigen KI-Millionäre.

fr0g,

There’s a convention for websites to use robot.txt files that prescribe whether bots should be allowed to access the site. But it’s just that, a convention which malicious actors don’t need to feel beholden to. Depending on the legal framework, you could also just threaten to sue anyone using one’s data for AI without permission, but that’s probably not feasible for the average lemmy server operator.

@fediverse Fediverse user growth jumped to ~50'000'000 users. What happened ?
The FediDB Fediverse User Growth graph shows a significant jump in user count in February. Software distribution is also 81% other, and the biggest server is fediverse.hanbitgaram.com with 39 million users ! What happened ?

fr0g,

There’s also been huge waves of spam account attacks on Mastodon recently.

fr0g,

Indigenous groups have always fairly reliably voted KMT. The DPP tends to have much more progressive policies and portray themselves as more concerned about the indigenous struggle. But the KMT being the direct successor of the authoritarian government that ruled Taiwan for decades tends to have much deeper local structures and have thus been present in indigenous territories much more/for much longer.

(Also portraying the parties as Chinese or Taiwanese nationalists probably is a bit strong, as they’ve both moved towards more moderate, pro-status quo positions, although from different ends of the spectrum)

fr0g,

Wenn du tatsächlich konstruktiv sein möchtest, könntest du jetzt auch erklären, wo hier die Vereinfachung ist und was genau daran falsch ist. In der jetzigen Form unterscheidet sich dein Post auch nicht wirklich von einem wahllosen Buhruf aus der zweiten Reihe.

fr0g,

Überhaupt nicht. Der Artikel verlinkt auf die originale Studie, zitiert ausführlich einen der Hauptautoren und unbeteiligte Wissenschaftler und Experten in dem Feld und erklärt die zugrunde liegenden Phänomene recht verständlich. In Sachen Wissenschaftskommunikation ist das schon recht vernünftig. Würde ernsthaft gerne mal wissen, was du hier auszusetzen hast.

fr0g, (edited )

Okay, die Studie hat das mit dem bisher detailreichsten Modell an einem Supercomputer über sechs Monate durchrechnen lassen und ist zu dem entsprechenden Schluss gekommen.

Du beziehst dich mit deinem “stimmt so nicht” auf was oder wen jetzt genau?

Korrekterweise muss man natürlich anfügen, dass die Wärmungseffekte durch den Klimawander in dem Modell nicht einberechnet sind. Aber wenn man sich anschaut, dass die Temperaturverringerungen für weite Teile Europas prognostiziert im zweistelligen Bereich liegen, ist das nun wirklich Makulatur.

Hast aber Recht, dass sich das am südlichen Ende Europas vielleicht gerade so ausgleicht.

fr0g,

My judgement is that he’s still kinda bad, but also probably the best president the US had in decades.

fr0g,

Nobody is surprised. The FDP knows exactly what they’re doing, which is make as much politics blatantly in favour of their donors as long as they’re in power. They don’t care about what that does to the general populace or even how they’re perceived for it. One or two elections later everyone will have basically forgotten about it again anyway and the whole shtick repeats.
