By now i think we need to assume everyone that is willing to use Israeli tech in any government functions, even if it is only “local police” using Palantir software and the like to be compromised by Israeli intelligence.
The data will be compromised to the detriment of the people and politicians who push for using such tech are likely compromised themselves already.
- Comment on xkcd #3084: Unstoppable Force and Immovable Object 2 days ago:
That is a good question. I have to think about it.
- Comment on xkcd #3084: Unstoppable Force and Immovable Object 2 days ago:
The universe is expanding everywhere all at once in all directions. So space itself is “moving”. It is impossible to define movement except relative to another object made from matter.
- Comment on xkcd #3084: Unstoppable Force and Immovable Object 2 days ago:
Relative to the sun, which is the next center of gravity. As you go up the chain you end up with the heaviest object which you cannot move relative to anything, as it is the logical point of relative movement for everything else.
- Comment on xkcd #3084: Unstoppable Force and Immovable Object 2 days ago:
God is distinct from the creation and has no physical shape inside the creation so the idea of “object too heavy to lift” is already conceptually nonsensical.
But also in the scope of our physics: What would an object be that is too heavy to “lift” for anyone and anything? It would be the heaviest object in the universe. So what will happen with the heaviest object in the universe? It would be the main center of gravity for everything else. In the same way you cannot “lift” the earth, but rather lift yourself from it as your force will just propel you away from the earth rather than the earth away from you, while you are inside the area dominated by earths gravitational field.
- Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves 4 days ago:
The fediverse is much more than just lemmy. That being said i also disagree for lemmy. Drama between mods and communities was a regular thing on reddit. Still reddit managed to grow quite big before the bots took over. And companies are in no way more accountable to the users. Look at what happened with twitter under Musk. The only realistic choice you have as a normal user is to leave. And in the fediverse leaving a shitty instance still allows you to connect with all the other content from a different instance.
- Comment on Future apocalypse movies won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars. 5 days ago:
I think you overestimate the necessity to move long distances in an apocalyptic setting once things have settled. 10miles is actually quite a long distance to move yourself and all your stuff in a day. And since you aren’t expected in the office at 9am, it does not really matter if it takes you 1 hour or 10 days to move somewhere.

My life is a lie.
- Comment on Instant rotten milk 5 days ago:
maybe maker is the wrong word. I mean these cans, where you fill water in the bottom, have a sieve inlay to put the coffee and then it steams through to the can above. Okay i see now in English it is called “Moka pot” and there is a debate about the “wrong name” in my native language.
- Comment on Instant rotten milk 6 days ago:
If you are using an espresso maker the salt should be irrelevant since the water is turned into steam before precipitating as coffee.
- Comment on Trine Was a Masterpiece. Why Doesn’t Anyone Remember? 6 days ago:
Its 16 years ago and the series continued. Last year my wife got all games and played them because she remembered playing the first one back then.
I don’t think it is “culturally forgotten”. Also as the amount of media increases it becomes more difficult to define a “mainstream” that everyone remembers as defining. This has happened to literary eras like a hundred years ago already. Now with music you dont have just MTV, the local radio station and maybe the one internet forum where all the fans of one genre gravitated to. So it is more difficult to be exposed to other people who didn’t forget
- Comment on Poop Drones Are Keeping Sewers Running So Humans Don't Have to 6 days ago:
I am asking because i know crawler robots exist and are in use since at least a few yearse. The more interesting aspect imo. is the automated image recognition which made huge improvements over the past years. For that it makes sense to have the analysis centralized within reason. E.g. pattern recognition against a larger database. There is local factors too though as materials, construction forms and so on often have historic local differences.

There is no mention why wheels wouldnt work.
They only mention that flying is difficult because of confined space and changing airflows.
- Comment on Kickstarter adds a 'tariff manager' to let creators add surcharges to previously funded projects 6 days ago:
Aside from nebulous groups who made up some bad statistics, likely to grift some donations, i didn’t see any claims towards that.

There is also about 450 days of protesting, striking, organizing, boycotting…
Waiting for the next election is not going to fix things, just like it didnt before.
- Comment on Poop Drones Are Keeping Sewers Running So Humans Don't Have to 6 days ago:
Why are you flying the drones though? Just give them wheels and call them robots.
Costs less, is easier to operate, uses less energy, can be used in smaller spaces…

- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 2 weeks ago:
So it is not given to a centralized authority, that is guided by for profit motives and also does the moderation of its plattform.
Where this can lead was shown with twiiter. The moment the central organization is captured, the central authority will abuse the authentification for its own goals. Then instead of just having to check for the authentification to be reliable you need to question everything that is on that plattform as a whole, which is infinetly more consuming, but also simply impossible.
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 2 weeks ago:
If the same authority is doing verification that is also doing moderation and both ultimately in a for profit setting, that has conflict of interest.
We dont know how reliable bluesky moderation will stay. We dont know how they will respond to political pressure. We dont know how they will monetize past the growth phase and then could also argue a “service fee” for verification.
In a perfect world none of these would happen, but then everybody could still be on twitter and be fine there.
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 2 weeks ago:
Idk. Celebrities and Politicians usually have other vetted channels such as their own website or a website of their ogranization representing them. It should be basic journalistic work to see if their social media links link to the account in question or not.

- Comment on China now faces 245% Trump tariff 2 weeks ago:
Only for goods that the US almost exclusively sourcing from China. So quite a lot of them.
While things like textiles and simple plastics could probably be on-shored to the US in relatively short time, many more advanced products will cost a lot more.
But the tariffs seem much smaller than China deciding to stop selling refined rare earths and products from them to the US and US allies such as the EU. That is going to make the US bleed big time.

It was quite funny when the candidate race started and Trump wasn’t rerunning yet and the FBI raided Mar a Lago for the stolen files. The sentiment was usually something along the lines of
“yeah Trump was not perfect and we always said this and we of course always let the authorities do their job, but also they should raid Biden and if Trump is convicted he is not a good president, but there is candidate x,y that is totally amazing.”
Sometimes i wonder how much of it are just shills, how much it is people who suffer form serious cognitive issues and how much it is people who are aware but fine with lying to themselves constantly.

When you are suffering vitamin deficiency it is always time to get those vitamins in.
When you are sleep deprived it is always time to go to bed.
When your teeth are rotting it is always time to clean them.Your condition will get worse until you make use of the remedy. And the reminder to make use of the remedy will stay the same as long as the condition lasts.

I recommend you to do the switch now. Linux is more accessible than ever and there is no reason to give them any more of your data. Also it helps you to transition step by step where it might take a bit longer to get used to a different way of doing things.
