I don’t know if lemmians (lemmings?) live in the same world I live in; I find AI a HUGE productivity boost, in search, writing, generation, research.

Of course one has to check results carefully, it won’t remove the need for quality checks and doing stuff yourself. But as a sparring partner, an idea creator and an assistant, I am convinced people who make use of Claude/GPT etc will outperform people who don’t by a wide margin.

I know - it’s unreal how much people confuse Swiss banking privacy with Swiss privacy laws in general. FADP is weaker than GDPR IMHO.

I just have a smaller dataset using the same settings, which I try to recover a couple of times/year.

It’s not perfect as recovery exercises go … but it feels safe enough for me.

I’ve used backblaze for years and regularly run recovery exercises. Never had a problem.

However, to avoid any fears, I store remote backups in two locations (the other one being OVH, a large French cloud provider).

My data retention regime:

• Mirrored disks in local NAS.
• Continually (every night) copy to Backblaze and OVH.
• Once/year, copy all local NAS data to offline disks (ie disks that are plugged into a tray only during the copy) to avoid a file locking/encryption infection that could spread to the online files.

Not cast iron though, like Article 5.

Reddit isn’t selling access to the public comments; it’s selling database access to all comments, previous edits, deleted ones, currently public ones etc.

Old Fashioned, Whisky Sour, Gin and Tonic.

Or beer. Then usually wheat beer if they have it.

But I so rarely drink that’s literally once a year maybe; my dad is an alcoholic so it’s difficult to look at alcohol as something harmless.

I hope you’re right. I want you to be right. And I agree at this point the Democratic Party ought to try - damn, they’re losing anyway so they might as well try.

My worry is that an alternative candidate that is worth their salt AND want to run against Trump can’t be found. I hope I’m wrong.

The problem is that the act of swapping candidates will seem to be so entirely clueless that whoever steps up to the plate is bound to lose.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. No one will spoil their chances for 2028 by being a late entry now. The democratic party is hunkering down for 4 more years of Trump is suspect.

How can I turn this into the class struggle?

My Seat Leon car. VW really shat the bed with their latest gen cars.

Maybe on account of the communities I subscribe to, but I’ve personally not come across right wing extremism on Lemmy. The tankies, though … so prevalent. Anyways, by server blocking hexbear it’s reduced by 90%.

The Korean War was led by the UN. NATO wasn’t involved.

… “and don’t worry about your family back home in North Korea who will be compressed into tinned meal”.

The defection rate will be low I suspect. It’s an automatic TFK (total family kill) to defect and I doubt they’ll send anyone who don’t have family at home in Glorious Motherland!

Server blocking hexbear is the only way to stay sane on Lemmy.

Yeah, I agree that might work if the marketing team isn’t that connected to the product. I’ve not worked with a marketing team where that would work, but maybe it will for some. It doesn’t change the “massive customer will only renew if” scenario, though.
