1. increasing work hours is a one-time “boost”. It gives a numbers bump once. It’s not continued growth.
2. working LESS has been shown time and time again to actually make workers more productive
3. working more will mean even fewer children, a problem we desperately need to address and which will harm the economy even more in the long term
4. our social contract is broken. Fixing the economy and the country can’t be done by extracting more work from the working class. The decades-long profiteers from privatization and giga-profits need their stolen wealth ripped from them. I can not understate this point. Literally all our economical and most of our societal problems could be fixed relatively easily by spending money: repair infrastructure; properly fund and repair the Bahn; pay teachers enough to make the job attractive, fix up schools, make proper education available to everyone; pay higher wages, so parents can choose to only have one parent working, but also provide free Kitas; and so on. I even would go as far as to say that materially and directly improving people’s lives like this would deal a blow to the rise of right wing politics and faschism, since a lot of those voters are simply frustrated with their misery and powerlessness (not all, obv…). A supposedly center-left party going “höh–höh, suck it, work more” does the opposite of this. And to get back to this bullet point: the money for ALL of that and more IS THERE. Just… Unjustly held by the few.

Now tell me again, why is it on me to spend additional years of my life toiling away to “fix” the economy when it’s ineffectual, counterproductive down the line, and a much easier, more just solution exists?

Eh, idc

IMHO, this time round, only without special treatment and only if adopting the Euro.

Ehm… I’m also on Nixos and I’d say it’s super trivial.

services.openssh = {
  enable = true;
  settings = {
    PasswordAuthentication = false;
    PermitRootLogin = "no";
  };
};

users.users.<name>.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [ list of pubkeys ideally read from file in repo ];

Eh, the machine is actually in one of my wireguard nets anyways, but for different purposes.

The nice thing about SSH key-based access is, I either have the key and login succeeds, or I have no business trying to log in.

That’s why my remote root server bans via fail2ban after a single failed login.

Yes I’ve had to write support to get a KVM. Yes it’s still configured like this.

The Magus Circle seems like a fantastic concept.

Also I wonder how long it takes for someone to come up with a mod for it that forces/lets your practice kanji lol

Past me had a dick

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Seniors

Or TUI.

Lmao. Lmfao, even.

Here, I’m gonna save you some time and summarize the article for you:

• everyone is talking about how good LLMs are [citation missing], but they’re missing the point!
• because really, we’re already so much further ahead! There be magic tools out there!
• wait, you want to know which ones? Uuuuh sorry, the people building then are keeping them a secret…
• …because they are just THAT FRIGHTENINGLY GOOD! [citation missing]
• seriously, I used one of them to build a 30k/month product in 2 hours with zero coding!
• I mean… A subset at least. Oh I also did not do any review, so no idea just how badly fucked it is. Ah, and I guess the price tag comes from the existing reputation and legal guarantees provided by the original tool, which obviously I also couldn’t replicate.
• but worry not! I’m sure I’d be able to build the full tool in DAYS!
• I won’t though. Even though it could TOTALLY make me 30k per month per user. Totally.
• instead, I’ll PROVE to you JUST HOW GOOD these SECRET TOOLS are! Checkout this GitHub repo!
• …ah, no, sorry, I misspoke. I’ll obviously NOT be using the secret, but TOTALLY REAL [citation missing] tools that this entire article is about. For some reason. They’re totally real though bro. Trust me bro. I’m sure one more data-center will fix it bro. Just need to prompt right bro. Like bro, people don’t realize how gooooooood LLMs are bro. I swear bro. My prompts are so good I need to keep them secret because it’s SCARY bro. Bro.

Ahem. Maybe I editorialized a tiny bit. Not much though, trust me bro.

Nice, I was able to send an email to that.

Personally identifiable information.

You do have a point. TBH I only now realized that the video was posted from Doctorow’s personal account, and without a link to the “original”, which yeah, kinda weird.

The talk itself is still worth it (had the fortune of sitting in the audience), but probably a good idea to use the media.ccc.de link.

Originally/additionally hosted on media.ccc.de

Universal Android Debloater.

It’s a community-rating systems for apps, and you can remove/permanently (even through os updates) disable them through ADB, without actually needing to know anything about ADB because uad comes in a nice GUI package.

I think I removed ~200 apps (most of them invisible, background ads stuff) from my phone. Much better experience.

FWIW, I’ve been using Music Assistant with my Sonos speakers without issue.

HOWEVER, I’m using MA as part of Home Assistant, and have the speakers configured through HA, not MA. MA just sees the speakers as HA Media Players. That works really well.

Tails I think

Isn’t this about fake trailers for movies that do not exist? It’s not reinterpreting art, it’s producing slop and trying to bait people into giving you views.
