Yes. But it's not editor. You don't have manual export, you crop/rotate thumbnails which might not be suitable for print for example.

So you are saying that using term nazi or fascist can be used only for people that do holocaust and more. Okay so I guess we shall just wait and see? What the CEO says and writes in their book to promote the company suddenly doesn't ma

The OP does not say that. It says “Surveillance can only be defeated by building software” That's purely technocratic view.

“offensively trivializing those who died in the Holocaust” - calling someone nazi or fascist is not trivializing Holocaust. These are clear terms and both Palantir and Karp often publish texts with fascist ideological elements and views. Re

Because it implies that the solution is more better software. That a answers lie in technological solutions.

Founding documents are worthless if you don't care to honor them. EU might have more modern legislation but even there the far right is starting to realize when they are in power they can generally ignore the legislation or work quickl

If you switch to renewables too quickly you will damage the investments in fossil energy sources that could be making big profits for decades to come.

What? That's pretty bad guarantee. The fact that Trump releases his friends has nothing to do with what should his opposition do. If anything respecting acts of former governments should be the norm.

Companies can absolutely refuse a customer and many do. Companies will often have public rules about not doing business with weapons manufacturers or tobacco producers. They also can refuse business due to political stance. They can even gi

I think you romanticize it quite a bit. Painters/artists like any professionals are mostly there just to do the work. Even with Mona Lisa It's very likely that nobody that day cared about smell of the model it was just one other d

The main reason Abloh could work this way was because his buddy Kanye West was famous and this gave the work huge exposure and crucially exposure to a newer audience. That's why fashion companies liked it, it was a new market. Otherwis

No it doesn't? We are not in 1998. I always read around here how european server companies are incompetent so there is no european infrastructure so european companies have to host everything on AWS. But this biggest european music sto

I am sure people who can get AC already have it or are working on it.

I don't think you realize how old buildings work and that majority of people in europe live in apartment buildings often 50+ old and they rent it. Would love to see you convince the landlords to refurbish the building to use expensive

What i mean is that if you don’t have somewhere to take the colder air to take from you just end up sucking hot air in. In system where the pressure would be equalized the leaks would be much smaller. For some reason it's impossible to

There is no climate change in America. They have AC.

They work ok in some places where have insulated windows and some source of colder air to get in. Since these one tube systems just push hot air out, you are creating low pressure in your room and you will suck the air in from somewhere. Of

Let me introduce you to… cold related deaths. They are 8x more common in europe than heat deaths. Since both of the cases happen mostly indoors we can assume it's both thanks to state of the buildings. Not everyone can afford AC or ins

by omnimus 4mo ago
Exactly. The recent heat deaths I saw were people getting heart attack from jumping into cold river and others mostly from dehydration. All are from outside. You will not die from sleeping in 30c. What europe will have to get used to is slo

Don't underestimate how much in bed are many of the european politicians/oligarchs with US neocon class. Trump is also problem for them. If Trump gets replaced by some moderate neocon on wave of “good old times” every one of these

There are still protections from the bank/visa/mastercard network. Somebody somehow stole my card credentials (online i think) and managed to get money out of my debit account through some obscure way without 2FA. The money disap

The natural progression when performance is enough would be price. We were starting to see that but not anymore. I wonder if somebody is afraid the future where generally useful computation is cheap.

I don't think thats so clear. The forges could support multiple federation systems and if for example someone made quality PR for the ATproto version that could get meged and adopted.

by omnimus 4mo ago
The federation mechanism that will win will be the one that forgejo/gitea supports first. Everybody is moving either to codeberg or more likely forgejo instance.

Oh I agree. System that puts people like this in power also doesn't allow for them to really get help. Nobody should have this kind of power.

> “The people running these companies certainly aren't good people” That is an heavy understatement. After reading some biographies and books about the tech elite… it's just much weirder and sickly than i ever imagined. Strange

If the rest of the market stays at current prices sure. It's very likely that Hetzner is just popular and ran out of hw quicker than others. I doubt they changed their market strategy, they are probably just being realistic. We will se
