Super! Den hatte ich vergessen. Übernehme ich gleich mal in die Übersicht!

I am sorry to hear that. It’s good you’re out of that place now.

Reminder: This is the guy connected to slogans like “Lock her [Clinton] up” and “Hang Mike Pence”. You really can’t make this shit up.

“Again, he would walk through the door, drop his bags, daddy’s home,” she recounted, wiping tears, adding that he would throw his phone in the junk drawer on Friday night, following which “it was just us.”

Sounds like the guy was a good dad to his kids. I would have loved to see him extend both his life and this kind of love and empathy to all other kids in the country so that nobody needs to get shot. But, oh, well…

If by “another Jan 6” he means “more arrests and convictions for anyone threatening and committing acts of violence under the pretext of ‘muh, the elections were rigged because my side can’t lose’” - well, I’m all for it.

I heard keepass was going hard on the AI. Is that true? I can’t find much about it tbh.

I can’t tell you much about that, other than

• I’ve never heard about that
• they haven’t got an agents.md or similar giveaway files in their Github repo that suggest they do
• they do have a short paragraph about GenAI in their Github that reads:

  Generative AI is fast becoming a first-party feature in most development environments, including GitHub itself. If the majority of a code submission is made using Generative AI (e.g., agent-based or vibe coding) then we will document that in the pull request. All code submissions go through a rigorous review process regardless of the development workflow or submitter.

Personally, I don’t mind devs using GenAI if it’s used in a responsible fashion, i.e.

• it is used to support software engineering, not replace it: any actual creative / design work is done by humans, GenAI is only there to help with simple, but tedious tasks (writing smaller, easy-to-review code snippets, unit testing, etc.).
• there’s a human at the helm, meaning: every line of code is human-reviewed.

Also, I tend to trust projects more whose code base started long before GenAI was a thing. Typically, these have a large base of maintainers and contributors, and the people contributing code know what they’re doing. This is certainly true of Keepass.

Check your password manager. What other accounts is the e-mail address account linked to? Change it, then delete the account.

If you don’t have a password manager: Now is the time to get one. I recommend KeepassXC (PC, cross-platform) / KeepassDX (Android). Combine with Syncthing for cloudless cross-device sync of the password database file.

Also, don’t worry too much. You wouldn’t be the first to lose access to an e-mail address. Governments or “other important accounts” usually have procedures to deal with that issue. But: a Google account shouldn’t be linked to anything important anyway, let alone government accounts.

Ich weiß nicht, ob du letztens mal in unsere Innenstädte geguckt hast, aber da scheint mit schon seit Langem Minecraft im Einsatz zu sein…

Du missverstehst: Sie prüfen, ob durch das BVerfG geprüft werden soll. Prüfception!

(Dieses Prüfen einer Prüfung erfolgt wohlgemerkt trotz der Tatsache, dass nicht weniger als 17 (!) Ämter für Verfassungsschutz schon alles Mögliche geprüft haben - z.T. auch mit geheimdienstlichen Mitteln - und überwältigend zu dem Ergebnis gekommen sind: “Ja, ist gesichert rechtsextrem.” Uns ist echt nicht mehr zu helfen…)

“Die Sims”? Ernsthaft? Völlig unseriös! Die Profis nutzen dazu Minecraft!

Lemmy summarise:

• The far right wants to “normalise” relations with Russia and weaken cooperation within, if not leave the EU, thus emboldening Russian aggression.
• The far left wants to abandon any meaningful deterrence and leave NATO, thus emboldening Russian aggression.

Could it be that both get their talking points from the same source, along with their funding…?

Same. Do not blame yourself. Blame <gestures around> whatever this is!

A lot of people were assuming a lower price from Motorola.

Those people have been fooling themselves. It has been clear for quite a while that the partnership would apply to “flagship” phones for now. That’s corporate code for: “phones that are unnecessarily expensive and chock-full with tech that most people don’t need, but buy anyway in order to (unsucessfully) impress others”.

This is accurate. I’ve been flashing phones with custom ROMs for years now, and doing it through the browser makes it both dead easy and pretty safe. You no longer need to be a tech shaman to do it. Just follow the instructions and you’re good.

Also, if you don’t like it, you can always go back to stock Android (i.e. what was installed before you started tinkering). It’s pretty painless. So roll up your sleeves and explore!

they actually look at it and want it better-targeted.

I don’t think so. The author is being a little tongue in cheek, mocking big tech: “if you’re monitoring everything, how come your ads still suck?”

Slightly OT: I’m really tired of this whole “I want relevant ads” thing. Typically it comes from media illiterate people who cannot tell apart information and manipulation…

Couldn’t agree more. I’m currently on the Pixel 6a, and in spite of having perfectly average-sized hands, I feel its 6.1" display is unwieldy. 6.8" is just bonkers.

Personally, I already balked at the size of the screen (~6.8"). The ridiculous price is just the final nail in the coffin.

True. He has already started the fingerpointing, blaming the candidates and thus offloading his responsibility for these results to them.

But where before he would have been met with pure, cultish sycophancy, this time around, he’ll face resistance, and fingers pointing back at him. Republicans have seen now that being aligned or just associated with Trump is absolutely toxic and will inevitably lose them seats. Thus, the closer we get to 2028, they will increasingly shun, undermine or even openly oppose him, which will hurt his ego bigly. I’ll be there for that, schadenfreude cranked up to 11, gleefully watching on as he goes through his own, personal, well-deserved hell.

Last night saw his party and his ego massacred bigly. Let the man grieve, alright? He deserves it, along with everything that’s coming to him now.
