The crazy thing is: If he hadn't admitted this, there wouldn't have been calls for his resignation. The Republican party is fine with spreading harmful misinformation, but admitting to it is a no-go.

Not sure I've ever seen an Arch user say that (not saying that never happened, just not anywhere I could've encountered it). It's a meme at this point.

"Incel" is more a state of mind nowadays (or a set of beliefs). Musk fits that pretty well.

Mich würde mal interessieren, ob an Warntagen eine erhöhte Zahl von z.B. Autodiebstählen beobachtet wird. Hab von Autos keine Ahnung, fände aber plausibel, dass ein echter Alarm in dieser Zeit von den meisten ignoriert wird, da ohnehin alles lärmt und blinkt.

Based on this dumpster fire of a headline, I think the take-away can only be that Siemens and other train manufacturers have to start calling their trains "OMEGA RAIL" and "CHUNGUS 3000" or shit like that so it's worth a news article.

Greenwashing is a bit harsh, no? From what I've seen, Fairphone is fairly involved in the improvement of production processes and usage patterns of phones (fairer wages, safer/cleaner ressource extraction, long-term software support, easier repairability for a wide audience) to the extent that this is possible for a relatively small company. They haven't always delivered on every one of these points, but have had a pretty strong record in recent years, stronger than any other company I know of. Or maybe there are other companies that do this better or similarly well?

Ich meine das im Sinne von "den Schaden ausgleichen". Der Artikel im OP argumentiert ja, dass die CDU Schlimmeres verhindert habe. Das bezweifle ich, oder zumindest würde ich hinzufügen, dass das die negativen Effekte außer Acht lässt. Ich denke nicht, dass es unterm Strich positiv ist, die Argumentation der AfD mehrheitsfähig gemacht zu haben . Wer rassistische und antidemokratische Positionen vertritt, wählt das Original. Die "Mehrheitsfähigmachung" solcher Positionen als politisches Programm gefährdet unsere demokratische Gesellschaftsordnung als Ganze.

Die Frage, die ich mir trotzdem stelle: Kann dieser (indirekte) Effekt aufwiegen, dass die CDU mit der Übernahme rechtsextremer Rhetorik die AfD legitimiert und damit (direkt) Wähler:innen in deren Arme getrieben hat?
Und das sind nur die Auswirkungen auf die AfD. Die schädlichen Nebenwirkungen dieses vergifteten Diskurses auf andere demokratische Parteien sind da noch gar nicht eingepreist. Das zu beschreiben mit "die CDU verhindert Schlimmeres" finde ich völlig verkehrt.
Die CDU wären nicht die Ersten, die versucht haben, den faschistischen Tiger zu reiten, indem sie sich als diejenigen präsentieren, die die Faschisten neben sich "klein halten" können, und dabei von ihm gefressen worden sind.

I agree with some of what you say, but I think the center-left would probably be seen as more left-leaning if they weren't constantly forced to govern with a neoliberal ankle bracelet on. The popularity of the Greens would also be higher if Conservatives hadn't declared them as their "main adversary" while there are literal fascists sitting in parliament.

Come to think of it, one thing I truly despise about the current state of AI is its verbosity. You ask the stupidest question, and the response is always some multipage essay (or longer if you ask nicely) that looks all important but is composed of 90% filler and bullshit, until it ends with "In conclusion, ..." followed by the actual answer. Enough intelligence to string sentences together ad infinitum but not enough to provide actual answers that fit the question.
Learned something new today while listening to a podcast about US politics.

Title, basically. I often see the advice to grow flowers from seeds for breeding hybrid colors, because they have identical genotypes, whereas wild flowers have different genotypes even when they're the same color. But what genotypes do they have? Do they always have a single gene for their color and no genes for the other colors (e.g., a "100" or "r" genotype for a red tulip seed)? Do some flowers differ from this? Is there a list somewhere?
CDU-Chef Friedrich Merz hat die Debatte über die Agrarpolitik im Bundestag zu einem Generalangriff auf die Bundesregierung genutzt. (...) Dabei schrieb Merz der Ampelkoalition die Verantwortung für das Erstarken der AfD zu. Die Bundesregierung treibe mit ihrer Politik "immer mehr Wählerinnen und Wähler in die Arme der schrecklichen Vereinfacher von links und vor allem der von ganz rechts, vor allem in die Arme der Rechtspopulisten".
Die Berliner Polizei führt jeden Tag Funkzellenabfragen durch und sammelt jedes Jahr 100 Millionen Datensätze.

I realize I may be out of luck here, because Twitter/X seems to have locked out third-party apps real good. Still, my line of work still has many folks on Twitter/X, which makes it difficult for me to fully switch over to Mastodon, and I would love a client that could ease the pains that this social media limbo currently imposes on me.

Recently re-discovered this gem of a blog post, written in 2018 by Nikita Propokov, about his disenchantment with the state of modern software. Do you think it's still relevant today (perhaps more/less so than it was when it was written)?
Cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/4295133 My partner and I are getting a cat and consider getting a robot vacuum cleaner for our apartment to help keep it clean. Up until now, I've been against getting one due to privacy concerns and negative reports about certain manufacturers (e.g., iRobot/Roomba). Now I'm reevaluating, because my partner is sensitive to dust, and regular vacuuming will be a must. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations about manufacturers or models with a light privacy footprint or good reputation on that front? I am aware that most robots that actually work will also gather data, and newer models even incorporate photo/video to improve pattern recognition performance. Still, I would be more comfortable with one that does that within reason (e.g., collects as little data as possible, transfers as little as possible to remote servers, encrypts data for transfer and storage).
