I always pronounced Tolkens name as Token, apparently nobody else made that mistake.

It isn’t a beauty but no it does not speak for itself.

Hi Adobo 🥰

With the many issues I still have running a wayland session on NVidia I am really confused by these recent moves of various projects and distros dropping X11 support.

Ok is this post some sort of trick? I opened up lemmy, saw it white and gold for the first time in my life, then I took a shower, now it is blue and black once more.

What? You mean there is not a single country without Nazis? Oh the heavens. Nazi groups im Ukraine are still an issue (as they are everywhere) but maybe something happened that was more important. Don’t know what though.

Switzerland, 35 days of vacation but that is just the company I work for, usually it is 20-25 days. Also an additional 7 days of national and communal holidays.

I usually go on short vacations, 3-7 days.

I can give you some issues regarding press freedom in Switzerland. One issue is the Federal Banking Act which is a major concern because it can lead to self-censorship among journalists. If a journalist reports on leaked bank data, even if it’s in the public interest, they risk facing criminal prosecution and up to three years in prison.

Adding to this, recent legislative changes have made it easier for individuals and companies to obtain injunctions against upcoming press publications. Previously, they had to prove that the publication would cause considerable damage, but now they just need to feel that it will affect them.

50% of my code is written by Intellisense…

That is not true, we use Vision/LL Models to extract data and structure said data from documents. It is amazing how easy it is compared to OCR and needing to know where which information is located.

The government already lost a case against Threema when they tried to force them to spy on their users. This is a Verordnung which is not a law but has to adhere to existing laws. So it might be challenged once more.

If this goes trough though than it has always been legal and it is just the executive making it an actual thing now.

That’s the third option, I was just saying that at least they do sell replacement parts which today is not always the case for many companies.

That will be a shitty day. But the alternative is that they don’t sell replacement parts at all. To be fair we don’t even know how they treat discontinued products as all their printers are still in production.

Still my point stands, Bambu printers simply just work, I took my 15-20 minutes to set up and it did run flawlessly since then with only the maintenance the printer asks me to do. I can understand why people like that. This would be possible by opensourcing everything but somehow except for Prusa there is noone else who strikes that balance between ease of use and openness.

I own a BambuLab A1M as I want a printer that just works. And while yes it is all proprietary they do sell replacement parts for most parts.

While I will not forgive them for their latest moves I am quite happy, I turn it on, load an stl into BambuStudio and let it run without any issues at all.

My next printer will however probably be a prusa as they are Europeans and I love that they keep everything up to the user so far. But I can not deal with anything that is more DIY than a Prusa, it is a tool for my hobby…not the hobby itself.

How? We try to adopt AI for dev work for years now and every time the next gen tool or model gets released it fails spectacularly at basic things. And that’s just the technical stuff, I still have no idea on how to tell it do implement our use cases as it simply does not understand the domain.

It is great at building things other have already built and it could train on but we don’t really have a use case for that.

Softwaere engineer in Switzerland, I work 36h a week, 5 days a week. I start at 8:30 and usually work till 16:30 which gives me plenty of time for my hobbies. Company is fully owned by its workers which is not bad eithet even though 50℅ belong to the top C-suite managers (which they bough from their bosses when they left the company, so the shares do stay with the employees). I make around 110k CHF a year (which is nice as I only pay like 6k in income tax). Pretty happy.

Yes, but I actually would pay them for their services if they guarantee me that they will use that money to improve Firefox and Firefox services. I want to be a premium user of Firefox, but instead of trying to monetize their core userbase they annihilate them.

I actually like their advertising business idea and their other services and I understand that they need money but is whay they are doing right now really the best way?

Firefox, while I dislike their new FAQ and TOS I build it from source and the TOS does not apply.

I wish they would make Firefox Sync a self hostable product that they also host for you for like 5 bucks a month. I would pay for it (or any other way to directly give money to FX instead of Mozilla) like I do for Bitwarden.

This is perfectly legal, the law only says that the user must freely choose to allow the website to save said data. You can opt out here and not use that website.

Yeah it is awesome, it just cost me a year of my professional career without any real benefits…

And our military is mostly regarded as a joke, I am seriously not sure why we even have it. It would probably collapse in days if it needs to defend our country.
