Docker is not hosting. You can run docker on your own machine.

Some people do and at least you can, which makes it much better than proprietary software, where it is impossible to find out, if they didn’t include a direct pipeline to whatever three letter agency asked them to do it.

As someone pointed out, as the admin of .ml is also the main lemmy developer, he could have obscured something like this way better in the code directly.

Thank you for the article. It brought up something quite interesting that i wasn’t aware off before:

But why does Spain rely so heavily on Russia despite the almost global disapproval? The answer lies in this country’s extensive regasification capacity, which stands at 67.1 bcm - the largest in all of Europe. This enables Spain to receive LNG shipments on behalf of other countries that lack the necessary infrastructure, making it a critical hub for European energy trade.

looking a bit into it i found this article:

So it seems that Spain is also taking the flak here for other EU countries that want to profit from Russian gas but not be directly associated with it.

Is it more? I know Spain is still buying some LNG from Russia, but i would have thought the amount went down, not up.

The German state of Bavaria once did something in the direction of moving away from MS. When Microsoft put their German headquarters into Munich the idea was scraped.

Do you think you could teach Linux to your grandmother?

Yes. Set automatic package updates, Install firefox with ublock and put it on the taskbar, and bookmark Facebook and Youtube for her. It is the same thing as under Windows.

I would argue that for the most “tech illiterate” users the Linux experience can be made even easier than the windows experience, because you have to set up everything for them anyways.

Yes yes. We do a big police deathmatch between the US and UK. All the cops of both countries in one huge brawl. Whoever comes out alive gets the trophy and a twenty dollar gift card for a Fast Food restaurant of their choice.

You don’t need to know anything about Alberta or the region. This is just how politicians talk.

If this was about honest concerns he would have addressed why the city plans to build bike lanes. Instead he just talks about “tax dollars” and increasing capacity for “all citizens”. Which shows that he has a complete disregard for the existence of citizens who do not take a car for every small move.

Bonus points for jumping onto latinos and blacks who didnt turn out for Biden/Harris and immediate show that they are deeply racists twats who just virtue signaled before, to get these communities to vote for them.

Why? Maybe if people understand that what they are scared with to be “communism” is affordable housing, public transport and education and not being harassed by police, they will break out of the propaganda alltogether.

In a better world the driver wouldn’t be exploited in a gig economy and have little incentive to risk criminal charges for a fucking laptop.

You are completely running past socioeconomic factors to be the main driver of small scale crime.

Your cousin coming to your home to visit or asking you to live there is very different from him coming to murder you and steal your house and tell the world how he is right to life there and your family trying not to have their house stolen is literal terrorism

The thing is that it becomes different when the order becomes “go to your home town, shoot anyone who disobeys, including your friends and family.”

It might take a decade of brutal civil war, but look what happened in Syria. In the end the people in the army were also tired of murdering their own people.

I dont think that poor UI programming for dedicated programs is an argument for browser based solutions.

I have issues with poorly programmed UIs in browser based tools all the time.

Yeah, if they cant bother to check for an opt-in, how should we trust them to respect an opt-put?

On that level you often only have two, one or sometimes no candidate.

There is no need to enforce a more complicated system that needs to be explained to everyone, risks more people accidentally voting different than they wanted or invalidating their vote by misunderstanding the rules.

I have helped with elections in Germany where the parliament has two votes. One for the local candidate FPTP and one for a party, where the parties proportional rates are then assembled in the parliament. I had to explain people the votes and what they do all the time. Because the two votes are on one paper it is a mess to count, as you can’t just stack them easily because of the possible combinations.

When it gets to state and national levels having proportional systems for parliaments and ranked choice for single candidates i am all for it. But there is no point in pushing for a more complicated system for smaller elections.

FPTP is fine in many small scale applications. How should a town of 5,000 people elect their mayor otherwise?

Almost anytime i want to do something a bit more interesting in Excel i have to look for a solution on the web too. And i am considered one of the better Excel users in my working environment.

Yeah, i don’t think anyone who sees the logo of lemmygrad will be like “ooh totally normal instance and a good starting point”. Anyone who knows the concept of tankies quite literally can see the tank in the logo and even people who don’t know the concept will understand the logo as having something to do with communist authoritarianism. Again, there is a god damn tank in the logo.
