Protestbewegung gegen die Regierung: Wie eine neue Protestbewegung ihre rechtsextremen Netzwerke nutzt

NEIN ABER SIE MACHEN KEINE POLITISCHEN ENTSCHEIDUNGEN FÜR DEN REST VON UNS

Verglichen damit, ob Günther von nebenan nun erkannt hat dass er eine dumme Nazisau war oder nicht, ist mir wesentlich wichtiger, dass die Nazisauanführer nicht mehr a) die Zukunft unseres Landes bestimmen und b) 20h am Tag im ÖR sitzen und ihren Müll verbreiten

In einer idealen Welt hätten wir beides, aber ideal ist diese Welt aktuell nun wirklich NICHT.

Es gibt kein Küchengerät, was ich mehr hass zu säubern also einen Blender/Mixer.Selbst in der Spülmaschine nimmt der viel Platz weg und braucht ewig, danach richtig trocken zu werden.

Ne Zwiebel ist in 30s geschält und geschnitten, und wenn dein Messer ansatzweise scharf ist, weinst du dabei auch nicht.

Ok, krass. Dann bist du da einfach empfindlicher bzw. ich unempfindlicher.

Ich hab früher mit reeelativ scharfen Messern auch immer getränt. Seit ich ein wirklich SCHARFES Messer habe (was auch regelmäßig gewetzt wird usw) hab ich das vielleicht noch bei 3 Zwiebeln im Jahr (von... Ka... 400?). Daher geb ich das immer als Empfehlung. Aber klar, Allheilmittel gibt es wohl einfach nicht.

What are the worst distro-specific problems you have faced?

Are you sure you aren't either applying nixpkgs overlays, or following master instead of nixos-unstable? I've not really experienced anything like you've described.

Anyways - I've additionally built my own cache server, which builds every output of my flake every time I push to main. System updates are ONLY downloads now. Also allowed all of my low-powered VMs to auto-update, since they'll never need to build anything at all.

How about only apply to non-FOSS software? Most hobby projects used not just by the author altend to be FOSS, and businesses can decide to go FOSS, making their software independently auditable by anyone, or go through certification.

I guess there's a danger of a campaign to re-brand FOSS as "uncertified" then...

OK, this is only tangentially related but it has been on my mind lately and I need to rant:

I am T1 diabetic. Over the last decade, a LOT has happened to improve my life, especially in regards to no longer needing to check glucose levels with blood, as glucose sensors you wear on your arm have become ubiquitous.

It started with a dedicated device that you needed to hold up to the sensor to get a reading (much nicer than pricking your finger) to that sensor being able to notify the dedicated device of high/low glucose values (yay! Sleep through the night, knowing you'll be woken up if something is wrong) to the sensor now constantly streaming glucose values to your phone.

Which is fantastic.

In theory.

In practice, there are two companies making these sensors (OK, there's a couple more, but they suck way more and are much less commonly used).

And both of their closed-source apps suuuuuuuuck. They do the bare minimum and nothing more. (Actually, it's worse than that. Ask me if you want to know. It's its own rant.)

Then there's xdrip+, a FANTASTIC app made by diabetics for diabetics. Instead of just showing you "this is your glucose" and sounding an alarm, once, when it's required, you can (just off the top of my head): Set an arbitrary amount of alarms with their own behaviors, which can be configured to vary by time of day; show the glucose everywhere (notification, lock screen, home screen,...); mute alarms for a custom time; do not sound an alarm if you're trending in the correct direction fast enough; do not sound the alarm multiple times if your are jittering around the threshold; notify other people automatically in case of emergency; and roughly 1000 things more. The app is well maintained, and of course open source.

Can you guess what the problem is?

That's right, manufacturers disapprove of using this app. For the worse one of the two sensors mentioned, the community reverse engineered the communication and it is now working perfectly with the app. For the better sensor, they can't and won't due to fear of legal repercussions.

It's my health. And I need to decide between worse hardware and useless software.

There's no technical reason for this. I dream of the EU passing a law that requires manufacturers of wearable medical devices to publish the comm protocols and to legitimize use of third party software.

Rant over.
