lol. I'd take a browser that's 10x slower as long as it has no AI or crypto.

Losurdo has a few good chapters specifically about a lot of the modern german ideological support for zionism in his book War and Revolution.

It's a really complicated subject, dealing with the historical guilt from the judeocide, and supporting Israel being an easy and surface-level way to alleviate that guilt.

Over 10 of the downvotes so far are from zero-content accounts.

It'lll be interesting to see how pro-zionist or political party PACs devoted to social media influencing like (correct-the-record for the US democratic party) will affect the fediverse, and what we can do about it.

All of Marx's main concepts, surplus value, classes and class struggle, alienation, are just as relevant today as when they were written. Much like Newton, Marx built the solid foundation that scientific socialists stand on today.

What books do you consider must reads? in c/[email protected]

I think so. It's top-tier adventure storytelling. The sequels are also great.

As far as good storytelling, some of my favs are:

  • The count of monte cristo
  • The arabian nights
  • 100 years of solitude
  • The silmarillion
  • A confederacy of dunces
  • The three musketeers

I have a very long ranked list, but there's a few.

Extremely sad. Why couldn't people just ask for context in a polite way, instead of bringing over all those aggressive twitterisms, and assuming the poster was "doing it for the engagement".

A xiaomi pad 5 pro, with an external keyboard. I switched to coding remotely a few years ago, so its nice to have a portable device with like 12 hours of battery life.

Is there any proprietary Android app for which you wish there would be an open-source alternative? in c/[email protected]

I code from an android tablet, by ssh'ing into a linux server running arch linux for development. I used vim+plugins for years, but now helix as it supports rust and typescript well.

The Obama administration dropped an average of 60 bombs every single day, on the middle east and north africa, during his presidency.

Has there been any reckoning or reflection on that atrocity, within the democratic party?

We're testing some beta's for the upcoming release, and it had some performance issues, so I had to downgrade and restore from a backup.

We do this testing here so other instances don't have to, and so we can find any bugs before a release. Again, this is my bad, I apologize.

Rank-My-Favs - An open-source Android app to help rank your favorite things. (github.com)
 

Do you keep lists of your favorite things, such as movies, books, recipes, or music albums? You might keep list(s) that looks like this:

  • Network (1976)
  • Lone Star (1996)
  • Devils (1971)
  • The Seventh Seal (1957)
  • ... Many more films

But how do you rank these?

You might be tempted to order them by preference, but this could quickly get overwhelming for long lists.

A much easier method is to use pairwise comparisons, which shows you single head-to-head pairs, and has you choose which one you like best.

After doing a small number of these matchups, Rank-My-Favs can confidently create a ranked list for you.

Under the hood, Rank-My-Favs uses the advanced Glicko rating system, to determine how many matches are necessary, and for ranking.

Anyone looking for a fun small rust project? Create a crate for cleaning urls, based on the ClearUrls project (lemmy.ml)
 

This would entail:

  • Pulling in the ClearUrls rules as a git submodule.
  • Reading / transforming the json there into Rust structs.
  • Creating a Rust crate that runs a .clean(input_url) -> String
