Wikipedia doing well is great, but that doesn’t mean people should stop donating to them.

It’s a resource of free and open information, which I believe to be increadibly important. Especially right now given everything that is going on. Democracy requires an informed populace, and having a platform like Wikipedia is an immensely important public good.

And frankly I’m not unconvinced that this “don’t donate to Wikipedia” line might have originated as a propaganda campaign meant to limit access to free and open information.

I donate sporadically to traditional charities (feed the poor, cancer research, etc) when I’m asked for a donation either at the door or in the street. Similar to how I give money to a homeless person if they ask and I have some on me.

I’ve also donated to a couple of causes that I particularly care about, such as Wikipedia. And I’m paying some money each month to the local gay rights lobby and cycling advocacy lobby.

I don’t have recurring payments to any traditional charities set up, however.

Edit: I should donate to my Lemmy instance.

I think that finally got fixed several years ago. I do remember this exact problem though…

By default both the Dutch and US International layouts would be enabled if you set up the computer to the Dutch region. And you could switch between them (accidentally) by pressing some key combination. It was highly annoying…

AZERTY is not really about being similar to QWERTY. It’s the French standard keyboard layout.
Similarly QWERTZ is the German standard keyboard layout.

Most (European?) countries use some variation of QWERTY with the symbols and special characters moved around to fit their respective languages better. Over here in the Netherlands we are a bit of an outlier in the sense that we use the US layout of QWERTY, but with additional modifier keys to make special characters available (It’s called US International)

There is also niche layouts like DVORAK (optimized layout for English) and BÉPO (optimized layout for French).

What is the reason you switched to AZERTY, if I may ask? I’m quite curious.

That makes more sense. Thanks!

My guess is that they are referencing the default applications for Android Auto?

Google Automotive Services, consisting of Google Maps, Google Play and Google Assistant, is an offering enabling the use of such services in in-vehicle infotainment systems

We are past the point where this shithead can be ignored. He’s in too much of a powerful position for that to work

Welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay.

I’ve been here for 1.5 years now, ever since the previous Reddit exodus.
Its not as big, so finding a niche community is a bit tricky sometimes. But overall I find this place quite cozy.

One recommendation I tend to give to newbies is to ignore the .ml instances. They claim to be Marxist-Leninists and the moderation there tends to be iffy at best.

Other than that using this place has been smooth sailing for me.

Hitler was very vocal of his disdain for democracy, and he ran on that platform afaik.
The democratic Weimar Republic was what ruined Germany in his view.

And Americans are seemingly too cowardly to do anything about it.
For the love of God defend your democracy. Protest!

The set-up process

Currently, unless you are already familiar with Docker etc, you run headfirst into a brick wall when trying to set up a PeerTube instance.
Until that process is easier to follow and understand, there won’t be widespread adoption

To shreds you say

I have a YouTube channel as well, and also got notified about this.
The setting is disabled by default, so I don’t have a particularly large problem with it. But that might also be because I’m in the EU.

I was reading an article on that on Tweakers two days ago, and I was quite confused until the last sentence saying that it was not related to the “decentralized chat protocol with a similar name”

In many programs the alt key will access the toolbar, be it hidden or unhidden.
At least that seems to be the convention in Windows. I’m not sure what the convention would be on Linux.

It shouldn’t even be that complex…

I might be mistaken, but ultimately a password manager is basically nothing more than a database of passwords in an encrypted zip file, right? That could entirely be self-hosted with off the shelf open source applications stringed together.
All you’d need is a nice UI stringing it all together.

Edit: I’m not sure why people are downvoting me. Is that not what a password manager essentially is?

… and the people involved were arrested

I like to think that these videos are the only thing keeping Patrick Boyle sane from his career in finance.

His channel is great. I love his dry sense of humour.

People who have a more in-the-middle opinion generally don’t talk about AI a lot. People with the most extreme opinions on something tend to be the most vocal about them.

Personally I think it’s a neat technology, and there probably exist use-cases where it will work decently well. I don’t think it’ll be able to do everything and anything that the AI companies are promising right now, but there are certainly some tasks where an AI tool could help increase efficiency.
There are also issues with the way the companies behind the Large Language Models are sourcing their training data, but that is not an inherent issue of the technology. It’s more an issue with incorrectly licensing the material.

I’m just curious to see where it all goes.
