I can confirm that even female penguins prefer to wear tuxedos ☺

Also, there is no general replacement for having a signature on paper for many processes. Using emails without strong signatures is just going to cause significant problems.

2·6 hours agoI still do print things like job applications, train tickets (I refuse to use most phone apps, thanks for the spying), recovery keys, important documents i need to proof-read, street plans and so on. I find it far easier to spot typos in high-quality print.
Some applications could be done with a label printer, but there are many areas where a b/w laser printer is the best option.

25·11 hours agoWenn man diese 210 Milliarden Dollar für Klimaschutz ausgegeben hätte, wären wir heute in dem Punkt woanders.
When I was starting studies at a technical university, we had a safety instruction day. And we were told that when handling high pressure technical gas tanks on a carriage, they must never ever be moved without being chained into an upright position. Because these bottles can have a very high pressure, and if they fall and the valve breaks off, they not only act like rockets, but they also gain enough speed to fly straight through concrete walls.
Apparently this works best with a slightly larger atomic bomb decoy and a Thailandese number plate.
But on a more serious note, it is insane how much car traffic is becoming an arms race. The whole trend of heavier and larger cars is because people think they are more menacing and increase their chance of survival.

Programming@programming.dev•A thought on the useful inefficiency of reading the docs
1·2 days agoRepetition is a core element of learning. And to repeat this kind of matter efficiently, you need wrotten material.
Another thing is there are huge differences how well such docs are structured and indexed.

Citing them:
Tech billionaires are systematically dismantling American democratic institutions through unprecedented concentration of wealth and power, with Europe potentially facing similar threats[1][2].
Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and other tech leaders are implementing an explicitly anti-democratic vision outlined in “The Sovereign Individual,” a 1997 manifesto that predicted nation-states would collapse as wealthy elites gain independence from democratic control[3]. This ideology sees democracy as incompatible with freedom and envisions a “cognitive elite” rising to power through cryptocurrency and internet technologies[2:1].
The strategy has three key components:
-
Direct Political Control: Tech billionaires like Musk have gained extraordinary influence through campaign spending and direct government roles. Musk now controls critical government infrastructure through his “Department of Government Efficiency,” modifying federal payment systems without oversight[4].
-
Institutional Capture: Wealthy tech leaders are systematically weakening government agencies and civil service protections. Trump’s “Schedule F” order could replace tens of thousands of civil servants with political loyalists vetted by conservative groups[2:2].
-
Alternative Power Centers: Billionaires are establishing autonomous zones and acquiring land in places like New Zealand as “boltholes” for societal collapse. Thiel obtained New Zealand citizenship despite spending only 12 days in the country[3:1].
The model draws from competitive authoritarian regimes where “elections are often fiercely contested battles in which incumbents have to sweat it out” but the system is rigged through government machinery to attack opponents and co-opt critics[2:3].
Europe faces similar pressures as tech companies resist regulation and establish parallel power structures. According to tech policy experts, the U.S. must not undermine European efforts to “regain sovereignty over their information systems and resist domination by Big Tech”[5].

Programming@programming.dev•How much are SOLID principles in OOP programming (and JVM languages specifically) just a mindless following of a set of ideas that aren't always the best solution?
0·4 days agoI think that OOP is most useful in two domains: Device drivers and graphical user interfaces. The Linux kernel is object-oriented.
OOP might also be useful in data structures. But you can as well think about them as “data structures with operations that keep invariants” (which is an older concept than OOP).

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Your flight emissions are way higher than carbon calculators suggest1·5 days agoOne question: Since contrails and water vapour stay far less time in the atmosphere than CO2, why should they have such large impact? Isn’t one of the most serious aspect of the climate system’s CO2 poisoning that CO2 stays in the atmosphere for thousands of years?











Im Prinzip richtig. Aktuell sind aber die Börsenwerte stark am fallen und Sarah Friar CFO von OpenAI hat gerade Staatsgarantien gefordert.
Natürlich kann die Regierung Trump bei einem Crash versuchen, den Sektor (teil-)zuverstaatlichen. Ganz überraschend wär das angesichts der massiven Verflechtungen zwischen Staat und Firmen nicht. Aber das hieße in dem Fall dann ja nur wie 2008 auch “das Geld ist ja nicht weg, es ist nur woanders!”.
