sadly obsidian isn’t foss. i still like it though.
and yeah with the recent bambulab controversy in the 3d printing community it was noticeable years earlier if you just paid attention. but paying attention takes active effort too. being a discerning consumer/user/creator is difficult.
that’s how terms of service work on the internet. companies alter the terms whenever and however they like, and often to the detriment of the end user. it’s technically not legal, but they do it anyway.
some camera companies sell their data to flock, who resells the data to cities and police
I think in business attribution is really difficult. Like figuring out why a click/purchase happened. It might be that these systems are so opaque and difficult to penetrate that nobody notices when hundreds of millions are missing. Or maybe the actual situation is a little different, like maybe real people do listen to AI music. I’ve heard a bit about that anyway. Though I’ve also heard about organized criminals combining affiliated artists and bot listens to launder money.
if you’re using AI to code AI may have you by the balls anyway
real graffiti can be really nice and expressive art
militaries slaughtering civilians using very shaky justifications that only work because they have the bigger fist or a strong backer probably isn’t that unique, so you can’t exactly use extreme words like “only”, “worst”, “ever” about current happenings. the IDF is only some of the worst scum possible.
You need to verify your hypothesis if you want other people to build on it or everything will eventually crumble down like a house of cards.
they’re pushing visa and mastercard over germany’s own payment system
but what people in Germany really use is cash or a girocard (card attached to your regular checking account).
but yes, european reliance on america is horrible, usually in addition to the girocard functionality on your card, which is usable only in germany, there’s also some mastercard or visa functionality in the card, which allows you to use the card at the very least in the SEPA area (single euro payments area, 41 countries are members, visa vpay or mastercard maestro) and in cases where you get the full mastercard or visa on top of your girocard you can of course pay worldwide with a bunch of asterisks.
that means cross-country payments with your card are locked behind america, which is why wero (europe’s new digital payment system for use in the SEPA) makes so much sense.
There’s a funny one-click tool here: https://github.com/Jellyfin2Samsung/Samsung-Jellyfin-Installer but I guess it’s not necessary anymore
tailscale also offers a reverse proxy through their “funnel” - https://tailscale.com/docs/features/tailscale-funnel
but I’ve been looking at netbird and might switch, so who knows what i’ll be using a year from now
