Pretty damning expertise for the German Department of the Interior on US access to data stored by cloud providers in Europe.

TL;DR: the study confirms the widely held suspicion that US law gives pretty much full access to all data.

Mhhh, galettes bretonnes. 👍😋

LLMs are basically just text extruders.

@kaia Ubuntu 25.04 does.

@beta The Stars, Like Dust?

Gotta say the tit-for-that going in right now between the mango man and the militant breeder is actually funny. Plus gives me hope there's a bigger rift developing within the different fascist streams.

@hadret @stefano same experience. Toshiba drives are unreliable at best.

I have about 600 HGST drives, mostly 4TB, in the 4-8 year age bracket and they have been quite reliable.

@jerry "if you have some free time"?

She clearly is the queen of passive aggressive. 😂😂

@dalias am frequently thinking back to how quality and long-lasting products were made 100+ years ago. Let's say a cast-iron range, or a trolley car.

A worker was probably at least somewhat proud of their product. But even then capitalism alienated them from this feeling through hardships of labor and existential dread.
@jhankins

@dalias yeah that would be nice. And in itself a much bigger change than "just" leftshoring manufacturing jobs again.

I don't think the phone sanitizers currently at the helm grasp this though, and it won't be in their interest anyway Seeing as they wrongshored everything for their own profit in the first place.
@jhankins

@dalias I still don't think there's going to be very many powerpoint artists looking for a job in a jeans factory at jeans factory wages though.
@jhankins

@jack_daniel I wonder if anyone got around to adding ai to their products. Surely that would be quite the technological step.

@sotolf same, same. 😀

I love these early spring forest walks, the atmosphere is so light and airy before the foliage comes out.

@rl_dane working on a 43" at home - yes, it's too big. Especially in the vertical axis.

I want to replace that with a 34" curved which I feel is the sweet spot.
@mogwai @sotolf @mirabilos

I'm sure that's fine. Nothing to see here, move along.

@ParadeGrotesque NATO insider attack. How nice.

[scribbles on risk management matrix]

@slothrop absolutely. Not questioning your choice. Just the metrics should be clear. From a resource perspective the best trip is the one we don't take.

@slothrop by that logic an EV rental car would also not have created any emissions. And we all know that's not true.

Apart from all the obvious resources going into vehicles and infrastructure, there's also the fact that until all electricity is generated through renewables there's always a penalty for every kWh used, no matter where or how.

@slothrop our place is thoroughly infested with SAP as well. Can't say I like it either. But some of the newer tools IT manglement has recently dredged up are even worse.

PMO365 is a good example. It's basically a head-on collision of a project management tool with ms paint, built on top of sharepoint. I'd actually prefer the SAP module I think.
