  • A New Jersey power broker’s son was convicted in a fatal hit-and-run. Former Gov. Murphy pardoned him on his last day.

  • Why is that even possible? What's the point of a justice system if it can just be ignored?

  • Why are programmers so rude to beginners?

  • Ah, you ran into neckbeards. This is a typical interaction with them. They are afraid because they are finally in a position of power digitally whereas in real life, nobody cares about them. Honestly, ask LLMs https://chat.mistral.ai/ or something else.

    I have Linux but am a casual user and my experience with Linux users has been nothing short of terrible. Before LLMs, I had to either find the answer on some *overflow website, the ubuntu forums, or just give up and move on. Now, LLMs help me out more than humans ever did. LLMs don't tell you you're stupid, they don't ridicule your question, they don't ridicule you. Of course they can be dangerous if they give you bad commands, but so can humans.

    If you must talk to humans online to get help, what I've seen work is to tell them they are wrong and that your solution works 100%. Some neckbeard will show up, call you stupid, and give the solution. And if that doesn't work, just ridicule them and say it didn't work, which means your solution is the right one. It'll make them try to prove you wrong even harder 🤷

  • That would be amazing.

  • I don't read German, but I was curious and wanted to let an LLM translate it at least a little. They published a PDF which has full-page images in it. Why? It's utterly perplexing to publish something to the internet that way. It's like having the ability to share a stone tablet, but instead you take a picture of it and put that behind glass with a filter so that it can only be viewed form certain angles.

    Sometimes, I don't understand Germans.

  • Ethics: Anti-Big Tech (no Malus, no Samsung etc.), good workers' rights and supply chain. Preferably European.

  • Considering the fact that a lot of the Reddit mods are also Lemmy mods, what would be the mechanism to remove abusive mods here?

  • The big brain simplistic view of "every X is Y". Every mod is a dick. Every linux user is intelligent. Every windows user is stupid. Every Indian smells. Every African is poor. My logic is always sound.

  • Uh... gamers are the so weak, they buy anything that's shiny enough. Games by big studios pushing out shiny crap still make millions. Gamers can't stop buying skins and will have wars about them too. EA, Blizzard, RockStar Games, Ubisoft, and many other companies are still huge companies because gamers barely care. Only once in a while do they massively reject large games.

    Only about 1.2M EU gamers even cared to sign in the EU initiative to Stop Killing Games. There are 450M EU citizens. There are way more EU gamers than just 1.2M and the vast majority didn't care enough to sign an initiative in their own interest.

    RAM makers are safe. Gamers will just give in and pay 3k+ for a gaming rig with welded on RAM (or whatever shit it is crApple does to make their devices unupgradeable).

  • What are you providing here as proof? Those are two communities (incorrectly linked btw, but I don't know if that's fedia's fault). What's with them?

  • Half of UK's grassroot music venues make no profit

    Jump

  • The problem with such venues is that they are also difficult to find. The major problem is that you need to know of them to even find out what's going on. They are on Instagram, facebook, and other social media, but if I go to a city and search for shows, the majority of venues won't be found. Sometimes it's a choice to stay cool, hip, underground, or whatever, but if so, they can't complain about falling revenue.

    What I especially don't understand is why these venues aren't on opensource stuff:

    All of this would make it easier for them to be found, interact with them, and even support them.

  • European banking is a really sad state of affairs

    Jump

  • And I know nothing of GrapheneOS beyond that it's also degoogled. The point being that it should require some magic or extra effort to get a banking application working on a degoogled phone. It should just work ™ But our banks are too dependent on Scroogle and crApple. They are basically saying "use US tech or you're on your own", which of course forces the majority to use US tech. It's a sad state of affairs.

    My only hope is the European Payments Initiative which is introducing Wero as an alternative o MasterCard and VISA. Once those are up and running, hopefully they'll tackle the other dependencies too.

  • Is it impossible for you to accept that we have different experiences? I called my bank after moving and they told me my bank account will be closed if when I formally change my address. Another bank told me I need to pay an extra fee for creating a bank account from abroad.

    And your suggestion to "just go there physically"... am I made of gold? You think I can just buy a plane ticket, fly across the continent just to create a bank account? Are you going to tell me to buy a second home close to the bank too?

    It's like your argument is "well, it worked for me, so nobody else can have problems". It's like the child playing hide and seek, closing their eyes and thinking nobody can see them that hasn't grasped the concept that other entities with different experiences exist. What are you? French?
