    The new one is definitely too expensive for me. I have a phone that I'm not really happy with, but I'm keeping it for as long as possible. After that, I'm probably going to look for a used fairphone. I don't see myself going with another completely unrepairable device.

    I never claimed that 2^20 is the same as 10^6. In fact, I explicitly said that they are different. But if I use M on purpose, it is not a correction to just replace it with Mi, for that same reason.

    There is no contradiction. But there is also nothing contradictory or wrong with the unit MB. If I say "this is 100MB", maybe I just... mean that? No reason to correct me.

    No. "Mi" is just a different prefix than "M" and it doesn't matter what units you attach them to. Why would it? It's just a multiplication with 2^20 or 10^6, respectively.

    Zoom CEO says Zoom meetings hinder innovation and debate, wants employees back in the office www.zdnet.com

    Zoom, the videoconferencing platform that profited substantially from remote work during the pandemic, is now asking employees to return to the office. Its CEO, Eric Yuan, claims Zoom meetings don't let people build trust or be innovative. [...] Yuan explained that trust is essential "for everything," and he finds it hard to build not only that but also innovation and debates over Zoom. "Quite often, you come up with great ideas, but when we are all on Zoom, it's really hard," Yuan said, according to Insider. "We cannot have a great conversation. We cannot debate each other well because everyone tends to be very friendly when you join a Zoom call."

    The US is uniquely fucked. What the rest of the west shows though is that the housing crisis exists even without the idiocy that is American suburbanism. The consistent factor across the board is housing-as-profit.

    It's speculative investments, housing as assets instead of, well, housing. In almost every major city in the west there is an astonishing number of empty apartments. In my hometown of Berlin there is essentially one large corporation that owns most of the city as investment. Also, new housing is constantly being built - but not for (average) people to live in it.

    You may also recall that the whole thing came crashing down in 2008? Or have we just forgotten what happened there and the effects it has to this day.

    RE: Copyleft

    The idea of copyleft is that you give anyone the freedom to do anything with your work, with one essential restriction: they do the same for their changes, derivative works etc. Technically attribution doesn't have to be part of a copyleft licence, but all copyleft licences I know have a requirement to preserve copyright info.

    And yes, it is popular in software (GPL, MPL, EPL), but for other types of works there is CC BY-SA 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike). If you want to copyleft books, images, videos, other forms of text... this is the way to go, IMO.

    Some additional remarks, just to clarify:

    • Copyleft is not "giving up all copyright" - copyleft essentially "plays" the copyright system in a way that makes sure nobody is restricting access to or usage of one's work. Using the rules of copyright against copyright, if you will.
    • In some jurisdictions, there is no such thing as "giving up all copyright" or "dedicating something to the public domain". Best you can do, generally, is giving users all the same/relevant rights.
    • Most Creative Commons licences are not copyleft, only the ones with a ShareAlike (SA) clause. Some CC licences are also nonfree, meaning they don't give you all the freedoms to do what you want with the work. The 2 possible nonfree clauses in CC licences are ND (no derivative works) and NC (no commercial use). NC can also be used together with a SA clause, making CC BY-SA (free) and CC BY-NC-SA (nonfree) the two CC copyleft licences.

    While I disagree with the person you're responding to because I find it honestly a little bit disgusting to equate the population of Germany with big German corporations (no, BMW is not "the Germans"), it is true that Germany has historically had a blind spot for capitalist Nazi collaboration (and so has the US, by the way!).

    Cory Doctorow wrote a great piece about this topic a few weeks ago. Really recommend reading it if what you've always heard is how well Germany does with its history.

    Needed something to print the occasional document for bureaucracy stuff, and I also got a Brother printer a while ago. Used, laser (very important for good value imo), 100 bucks. An older model, black-and-white but with wifi support. Didn't need to register my license, create a cloud account or whatever other shit companies come up with these days, I could just turn it on and it worked.

    Yeah. I really like the idea of the ACL, but I wouldn't use it for anything serious right now because it hasn't undergone proper legal review and its enforceability itself is rather questionable. The author said he was going to work on getting that done this year, we'll see what happens.

    To clarify, I also don't think the problem I've mentioned can be fixed with licenses alone and I still support FOSS in general. The fact that there's organisations like the SFC and FSF is a bonus, of course.

    Depends on what I'm making and which ecosystem it will be a part of. For libraries, I use the MIT license most of the time, although I'm probably going to switch to Apache 2.0 for future stuff. It's a bit more robust and has a helpful licensing framework.

    When I make applications (and if possible), I tend to use (A)GPLv3. GPL sometimes doesn't work though (for example, for my primary language, Clojure). I like the MPL 2.0 as a weak copyleft alternative.

    However, recently, I've been reconsidering the whole open source/free software ideology, especially the focus on granting unconditional freedoms. I think the view that engineers shouldn't care what is done with their work is outdated and irresponsible, and it applies to software devs as well. So I'm keeping an eye on the development of alternative source models such as ethical source or licenses like the Anti-Capitalist License.

    Destroy Boys - have been following them for a while, their stuff has become quite popular. Unfortunately didn't manage to get a ticket to one of their shows this year.

    Teen Mortgage - found them this year, randomly recommended to me.

    Private Function - heard them for the first time at a live show this week. They were absolute nuts live, and their music is great.

    Team Scheisse - been listening to their latest album on repeat ever since it came out this year... great German band. Looking forward to seeing them live in 2 months.

Kurzfassung: Linsen kochen, Zwiebeln in Olivenöl anschwitzen, Reis, Gewürze (bei mir jetzt Salz, Pfeffer, Ras el Hanout) und die gekochten Linsen dazu, dann alles zusammen bei niedriger Hitze köcheln und danach noch ziehen lassen. Dazu ein Joghurt-Mix mit Zitrone, Olivenöl und ein bisschen Gewürzen.

    Grew up with Coltrane's music playing all the time, and absolutely love him to this day.

    If I had to single out a favourite piece of his, I think it would be his version of "Summertime" from the My Favorite Things album. It's really beautiful and quite different harmonically from so many other versions. And I can never get enough of that break after the bass solo... it keeps coming back into my head.

    Other than that, I really like "A Love Supreme". As far as his standards go, my favourites are probably "Impressions" and "Moment's Notice". And to mention one of my favourite collaborations of his, I'd say "In A Sentimental Mood" with Duke Ellington.

    I don't know how much time I've spent in Minecraft, but it's probably over 1000 hours.

    Second place certainly goes to LoL. They reset the statistics at some point but my guess is also close to 1000 (at some point I had like 700 and kept playing for a while).

    I don't play either of those anymore though.

    Is it just me, or is the Lemmy search interface not... great?

    I've been on the Fediverse for a little while now, but I'm only getting into Lemmy now. I've noticed that it is very cumbersome to follow communities from other instances. You have to click on search, select "Communities", enter the name (but without the instance), find the correct one in the list if there's multiple and then subscribe. Why can't I just... enter the fully qualified name somewhere and it sends me to the community directly? Why is there no search that works for unique IDs (like in Mastodon, where you can search for any global object ID (URL) to navigate there directly)? Or does that exist and I haven't found it yet? Another thing, is there an existing effort for browser extensions that allow interactions when viewing foreign communities through their own interface instead of your home instances? This exists for Mastodon for example and is really convenient (I can like, boost, follow on other instances as long as I'm logged in on my home instance). Edit: The regular search seems to be working with fully qualified names/IDs for me now. Dunno if it was just a fluke before or a problem with the instance I was looking up. Edit 2: Searching IDs (such as https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse) work (although it takes a while to load), whereas searching "names" like !fediverse@lemmy.world doesn't. I don't know if it's because of my instance or not.
