piefed allows for blocking of entire instances. Blocking the tankie instances was the first thing i did.

Insults are a crime in Germany.

Keep in mind that someone actually has to go sue for that, it’s usually not automatic, unless you do it right in front of a police officer trying to insult some public figure. In front of court it’s weighed against freedom of expression. So there are plenty of examples were the “insult” becomes a “matter of fact”. Like for example the matter of fact that AfD politician Bernd Höcke is a Nazi.

German here, so i’m speaking from the German perspective and protest culture:

There are some organizations who often plan protests. Peaceful ones at least. It can be worker’s unions, it can be political parties or it can be just some random people who came together to organize something. For example in my area, there is “Passau gegen Rechts”, who often organize protests and other social actions against the proliferation of far right ideology. It’s just a group of random people who came together and meet up every once in a while to exchange ideas or just talk in some pub.

I usually get the info either via their newsletter, or from Verdi, the worker’s union i’m part of. The organizers then talk with the town’s authorities and exchange info with police, so that everyone stays as safe as possible. If we for some reason couldn’t communicate with social media, we can do mail, phones, letters, SMS, or whatever else is available.

Americans seem to have that weird idea, that the entire country just meets up in some city and does the protest there. That’s not what’s happening. The vast majority of people come from around the immediate area. Either they’re directly from town or from the surrounding area, maybe up to 2 hours away. Since a lot of those local organizations are also organized on a country’s level with other orgs from other towns, cities and so on, they coordinate with them for a nation wide protest if necessary. Modern communication makes it easy. In some cases they also organize a bus.

Here’s how the last protest i attended worked: Verdi sent a newsletter about a protest on Saturday. I saw it and decided to drive into town to check it out. There, we met up with the student’s protest in the town’s center, and from there we walked up the street to the actual meeting place, approx. 5 km away (uphill btw). Lots of chanting, some angry drivers who couldn’t go shopping at Edeka because of that, and lots and lots of sun. Halfway through the “Omas gegen Rechts” (grandmas against the right) joined in. Once we reached the destination, we joined the other Verdi people, SPD, Greens, Seebrücke, some Church groups, lots of other random people and so on. Plenty of groups around. The whole thing took the better part of the day and then we went home.

The details can differ, the route and destination too, but that’s roughly the gist of it. I’m guessing it’s a bit of a culture thing. We Germans are already a bit lazy with protesting, but the Americans seem deeply propagandized into an unhealthy amount of individualism.

Whenever i hear about shit like that, i think of this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews

I want those brain cells back

Oh, i’m with you, don’t worry. Just wanted to note that. Yandex has several datacenters, so for a really noticeable drop they’d need to wipe several of them. Though, they might have some more spread around the world…

Yandex also offers Cloud Services. Just saying…

That’s a bit of a risky thing to do. They need to be careful not to introduce some proprietary code.

They claim it’s “clean room”, so no decompilation involved. I’m just waiting for the lawsuits to arrive, so we may learn how much of that is true. The big ones probably are already checking the code.

Judging from their past performances and ideas, it was already vibe coded long before AI. Based on the vibes of whoever was in charge at that point.

I have no idea. I got downvoted and some dude kept accusing me of “trying to win a discussion” and tell me that he “doesn’t understand my garbage arguments”.

I certainly don’t rush it, tho. It’s full when it’s full, and then i wobble to the checkout.

They are also asking AI to do their grocery list. As i had the pleasure of learning just recently on reddit, when this was posted there.

Maybe, but i guess that has also to do with the fact, that a lot of companies don’t seem to have any idea what the legitimate use case could be, so they throw it everywhere and see where it sticks. Which kinda reminds me of the company i’ve worked for several years ago, which was basically just “let’s throw GPS data onto a map and see what happens” for 20 years, and was struggling when logistics companies wanted a bit more than just a damn map. They had to rework the entire interface.

Only a matter of time until all the “chatbox with addons” providers go down the drain…

Reddit is turning into Facebook 2.0. More and more subs getting infiltrated with far-right pricks. After having to leave yet another Euro sub, i decided to try some other pages. The problem is, that the Euro fascists are quite decent in having a seemingly reasonable discussion, but once you know the dogwhistles and check their history, you’ll quickly notice their agenda.
