Europe@feddit.org•Seven German journalism students tracked Russian-crewed freighters lurking off the Dutch and German coast—and connected them to drone swarms over military basesEnglish
16·6 days agoThis reminds me of the Danish movie Speak No Evil (2022) (not the US remake). I’d describe it as a social horror film, it was so uncomfortable to watch. It’s about the danger of doing nothing in the face of evil, in the name of ‘not causing offence’. One quote in paticular stuck with me: “Why are you doing this to us?” - “Because you let me”.

World News@lemmy.world•Swiss voters reject mandatory national service for women and new inheritance taxEnglish
2·17 days agoThe main counter argument was that this tax would make Switzerland quite unattractive to rich people, and that they would simple leave the country so that they don’t have to pay this tax. And then Switzerland would even lose tax income overall.
A few years ago I had to port a tool from HTBasic (a proprietary BASIC dialect) to Python. The original source only runs in their proprietary IDE. Of course, no comments whatsoever and a lot of GOTO magic and matrice calculations some of which have no other purpose as to confuse the reader. The variables had only cryptic and meaningless three digit letters. My theory is that they intentionally wrote it in a way that it would be a nightmare to reverse engineer. And they succeeded.
The hex color code is the error code. Smart!
