Some weird, German communist, hello. Obsessed with philosophy (German Idealism and its subsequent evolutions) and history (mainly everything since the French Revolution), as well as the Fediverse. Secondarily obsessed with video games as a cultural medium. Also somewhat able to program, but not that good.

  • That's awesome, thanks for sharing! Excited to see what talks there will be.

  • I've got some torrents that I've been seeding for months barely breaking 0.1 - for some that are in low demand and have some dedicated seeders with better internet connections than yourself, you will have to acceppt not being able to seed them properly, especially when they become outdated.

    Just do your best and aim for a good ratio above 1:1, but don't beat yourself up if it won't work out. 1:2 as a goal is fine, not everyone has to be a dedicated super-seeder (which would be impossble anyway).

  • Look, all I'm saying is, we've never seen you and squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de in the same room together.

    But jokes aside, thank you for the detailed introduction, and thank you for doing mod work!

  • Where do you stand on this?

    Jump

  • One interesting thing is that we don't really kow much about her. The few things we can be pretty certain of, are (Spoilers ahead):

    • We know her hedonistic escapes from a guilt complex are real, and that some forces in the MI truly want her dead - confirmed by our ESP if we do take her in. (Much to the shock of some players who had hoped to arrest her and keep her safe somehow, from the blind playthroughs I watched people play)

    • We know she really has some skillset that indicates some sort of spy work, but where does it really stem from? It could be from what she tells us, but it could also be something different, maybe something worse, maybe something more mundane.

    • We do know she has seemingly always had the problem of being fetishised by men around her, as we witness with at least Tidtus and the Deserter (EDIT: And of course Harry), and that she both inadvertantly and consciously used that to her advantage (mostly: trying to survive) if possible, while also not having a choice about it. EDIT: Her relationship with the mercenary is really interesting in that regard, she probably witnessed unwillingly bringing out the worst in men around her over and over, turning them into monsters. Then there is a monster, and in her mind, she turned him into a better version of himself, reducing hist monster-ness. Not that that is healthy, but it is a great characterisation by the writers for sure.

    But no matter what, I, personally don't think prison (which results in her death) is something she deserves. There is a part within me, that would love to somehow keep her "safe" while also putting her into a situation where she has to reveal what is really in her past - but that part of me, I realise, is exactly the fetishising effect she has on het men in action, even as a fictional character (combined with my often aggressive curiosity).

    So, my vote is: Let her go. She might not be a great person overall, and has definitely some shit in her past, whatever it really is, but she deserves to live. If she really does deserve prison, then only, as she herself put it, in a new world, after La Retour, which would stop hunting her as prey, both literally and in the way people who are attracted to her force their fantasies on her.

  • What makes a man attractive (SmoothDunk)

  • I may be misremembering, so take this as potential bullshit, but I seem to recall there was a study (or just a survey?) that seemed to indicate, that onlineness for men generally correlated with less mysogyny than the overall population - with the exception of those explicitly in the "manosphere" bubble, who then spike on the far end of the spectrum.

    Thinking back of how I remember groups of boys and men (which I was a part of) talking with each other offline before widespread internet access (or even now), that kind of made sense to me. I remember being often rather alone with my opinions and being told stuff like: "Just accept that sexism is funny." Especially thinking back to pre-internet teenage me, I had a lot of weird assumptions internalized that online exchanges, seeing actual, unfiltered opinions of women mostly, helped correct.

  • Millionen Bedürftige scheitern am komplizierten Sozialstaat

    Jump

  • Andreas Peichl, Wirtschaftsprofessor in München und Experte des ifo-Instituts sagt bei RTL und ntv: "Wir haben tools wie ChatGPT das Sozialgesetzbuch lesen lassen und andere Gesetze. Und dann eine Liste erstellen. Ich fürchte, wir haben in der Tat mehr als 500 Sozialleistungen, die man einzeln beantragen kann."

    Ich will ehrlich sein: Während ich die Tendenz nicht einmal hinterfrage, und die Probleme sehr real sind, eine ChatGPT-Auswertung erzeugt bei mir nicht viel Vertrauen. Ist aber vermutlich selbst symptomaufzeigend dafür, dass es schlicht keine gute Datenlage gibt, und Verwirrung selbst bei den offiziellen Stellen und in Expertenkreisen herrscht.

  • This paper seems to suggest so, but also mentions "Previous empirical work on this topic, which shows a diverse range of estimated effects [...]" - so it seems like other factors will play a role. (Disclaimer: I read only the abstract)

    EDIT: Another paper seems to back up those finding.

  • Ich weiß noch, dass ich lange irrationale Unsicherheiten hatte "aaah, da gehen doch dann nach und nach alle Sektoren kaputt, voll keine Zuverlässigkeit!!11!1" - und im Endeffekt benutze ich meine erste SSD die ich vor so ~10+ Jahren (weiß echt nicht mehr wann genau) gekauft hatte immer noch. Mittlerweile nicht mehr im Dauerbetrieb, sondern als Betriebssystems-SSD von meinem NAS zu Hause dass ich nur bei akutem Bedarf an- und ausschalte, aber dennoch, war kein so großes Drama wie meine inneren Unsicherheiten mir verklickern wollten.

  • Ah, that is a bit of a UI design issue, I agree that should be added - the way it currently works with embedded PeerTube videos is by clicking on the instance name in the bottom right:

    (Screenshot is from PieFed UI, but the overall mechanism should be the same on lemmy-ui or other lemmy interfaces.)

  • Yupp, sadly his channel is no stranger to clickbaity titles. I guess one can say that the AUR is part of the larger Arch ecosystem, but it definitely feels like a "please click and contradict me"-title.

  • /c/peertube@lemmy.world in danger of going unmoderated - adding new moderators doesn't seem to federate properly

    Jump

  • OK, knowing that takes a bit of pressure off, thank you very much. Then at least it should be possible to handle this even if adding the new accounts as mods myself won't work out before tonight.

  • /c/peertube@lemmy.world in danger of going unmoderated - adding new moderators doesn't seem to federate properly

    Jump

  • I tried that, adding my lemmy.world account at the same time as my piefed.world account - sadly that one ended up never showing outside my original instance, and also got removed there without any visible reason. Is there a way for the admins to add it as a mod locally, after my original account is gone come this evening? It's https://lemmy.world/u/AbnormalHumanBeing.

    If not, I guess moving the comm to a new one on piefed.world would indeed be a workaround, but I'd like to try and get it working some other way beforehand. The comm on lemmy.world isn't closing down, and it would be a bit sad to lose the posts there, right now, it can work as a decent place to browse Top/All of the community to check for past popular PeerTube channels and videos one might otherwise not have heard of.

    I'll try adding my two .world accounts again today, and hope it will work out this time, before closing time later tonight.

  • Bin KDE-Ultra, meine ersten Linux-Erfahrungen noch in den frühen 2000ern mit Mandriva waren KDE, das ist mir im Blut geblieben. Auch wenn ich ne Weile mal Cinnamon und wie auch immer Ubuntu's Standard hieß ausprobiert hatte zwischendurch. Ich hatte auch mal tiling-WMs ausprobiert, aber hatte für mich irgendwie gar nicht funktioniert.

  • I was a fool for skipping Widelands, the only game as good as The Settlers

    Jump

  • One time quite some time ago now, while I was away from home for a few days for work back then, I only brought an old, underpowered laptop to make sure I won't be tempted to waste any time playing video games. Widelands ended up ruining that plan thoroughly, it's a really nice, comfy experience.

    EDIT: Also, hell yeah can I vibe with that sentiment:

    There hasn't been a Settlers game since 1996. Whether they were good or not, its many sequels, as early as 3, started missing the point of the design. It's the roads, man. The roads!
