SomeGuy69, in I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet.

It’s time for a new Internet with some guidelines. Like your content isn’t viewable without account, you get kicked out of the DNS.

4am,

It’s gotta be less general than that; I don’t want my bank account on the open web for example.

Aux, in Everything I need is still in in the old settings windows that haven't changed in 23 years

Everything I need is configurable through PowerShell for years. Why bother with UI? Win 7, 10 or 11 - it’s all the same.

banneryear1868,

Yeah I’ve been a mixed environment sysadmin for many years and still to keep need a Windows desktop at home and powershell makes it all happen. I basically do a complete debloat of my install and and all that. I actually like the overall Windows 11 desktop environment but omg the bloatware is insane I don’t know how people use it without knowing how to clean it up.

Aux,

Enterprise editions don’t have bloat, no need to do much :)

banneryear1868, (edited )

Very true! Enterprise iso and MAS and basically done. My previous builds have mostly all been Enterprise edition and I’d definitely go that route if I knew 11 was gonna be so bad. A part of me was curious after hearing so much hate, and I didn’t mind learning how to remove it all because I could see it coming in useful for helping others, it was a good way to get exposed to all of it and I found some helpful tools I can send to people now.

jumping_redditor,

Can it list available settings that could be changed, because if so it is an almost perfect replacement for the settings app?

w2tpmf,
RaoulDook,

Because I don’t have all the commands to do everything memorized. Also powershell versions and compatibility / features have changed a lot over the years.

Not to say that Powershell is a bad thing in any way, it is quite useful for the stuff I do at work. But it is a mess just like the rest of MS.

words_number, in oh no Germany what is u doin

The “journalism” about israel/gaza here in germany is a complete shame across the board. German media, even (or especially) the publicly funded media, literally try to hide the discussions that the rest of the world is having about this war. Things like these: nytimes.com/…/israel-qatar-money-prop-up-hamas.ht…

And of course they are failing. Also, whenever something happens that they can’t ignore, they use euphemisms to describe war crimes of the israli side instead of just stating the facts. Many journalists are literally scared to lose their jobs if they report to honestly about this conflict. It’s insane.

@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

Journalists who are afraid of speaking truth to power are not doing their job. I would tell them “Get fired if you must, fuck your job - you’re a journalist, not a lobby boy.”

Bassman1805,

Some jobs are not a mere job, they are a societal need and a calling. Should we accept doctors who would prefer to keep their job if it meant giving substandard care?

That’s an extreme example maybe, but given the state of corporate news media and the effect it’s had on society, I’ll stand by it.

It does rather underpin the value of strong social safety nets, doesn’t it? When the only way to survive is to keep your job, it’s not essentially different than forced labor.

kamenlady,
@kamenlady@lemmy.world avatar

I agree. At the moment i am keeping my job, but would rather take a small timeout, like 3 months. Just relax and take my time to think things over. The pandemic took everything i had set aside and the inflation has me spending my whole salary for the month. I could only quit this job if i already have another starting the next day, there’s no way to spend even a week without income.

So, yeah atm it feels like forced labor.

I’m sorry, why do you in particular have some keen insight or experience or knowledge which allows you to speak for these folks anymore than the other commenter?

EDIT: I should clarify, it would be very very easy to not do this; there, I did it now, there I didn’t do it again, I can keep this going. Can you specify why in-and-of-itself supporting an unambiguous apartheid regime and settler-colonial state engaged in documented genocide over decades is not, again, in-and-of-itself enough to not support or write on or for it??

MrVilliam,

He was a lobby boy, she said “lose your jobby, boy.” He wasn’t good enough for her.

Now he’s gone apologist, so she turned and balled her fist. Fascism shouldn’t get support.

GenEcon, (edited )

Thats simply incorrect. For example ‘Deutschlandfunk Der Tag’ did a long series (~5 hours) about the impact of the war on Palestinians living under Hamas occupation during the war and their feelings towards Israel. They even did a Meta-report ‘How much attention does the dying in Gaza get in german media’ where they interviewed Salma Abuzaina, a Palestine activist in germany.

Maybe you just don’t consume public funded media if you haven’t heard any report about it. The conflict between reporting on Palestinian deaths and Isreali deaths without negating the suffering of any of the parties is a huge topic in german media.

words_number,

See my other german comment for a reply to exactly that. I know that DLF is mostly doing a good job but that’s not my point. Sorry, but its to tedious for me to keep discussing this in english.

Roflmasterbigpimp,
@Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world avatar

The German Media is funded by via a fee and is controlled by an NGO.

And I have no Idea what you are talking about, Deutschland Funk talks about the death in Palestine quite often. And how Israel is not tunening down their Attacks and how Shipments of Aid being blocked.

They report very neutral you could even say emotionless. Because they have no need for seeking attention or shock Images because they don’t need to sell their News and Articles.

Trust me, we are very well informed on what is going on in Gaza and how Israel is starving the Region while bombing it to shred. Our News network is pretty good only our politicians seem unwilling to talk about this

The public-funded-Media does a good job there!

words_number,

Man muss zwischen “innerem” und “äußerem” Mainstream unterscheiden. Der innere Mainstream sind z.B. viel verkaufte Tageszeitungen, sowie Fernsehnachrichten, “politische” Talkshows und vielleicht Nachrichten bei Unterhaltungsradiosendern. Deutschlandfunksendungen, sowie Investigativformate (Monitor, Frontal 21, Panorama,…) leisten oft sehr gute Arbeit, aber fliegen verhältnismäßig unter dem Radar. Ich finde es berechtigt, die quotenstarken öffentlichrechtlichen Abendnachrichten (Tagesthemen, Heute) im Fernsehen mit anderen Ländern zu vergleichen (z.B. BBC, PBS, CNN) und in diesem Vergleich zeigt sich sehr deutlich, wie das Thema in Deutschland komplett anders und sehr einseitig behandelt wird.

Ich gebe dir recht, was den DLF betrifft, der rettet die Öffentlichrechtlichen in der Hinsicht immer, dass die sagen können “guck, wurde doch berichtet” wenn jemand Kritik übt. Also wer sich informieren will, kann das hier auf jeden Fall auch in den Deutschen Medien, aber die quotenstärksten Formate, die die allgemeine Diskussion von Themen am meisten prägen sind in vielerlei Hinsicht beschämend schlecht.

Roflmasterbigpimp,
@Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world avatar

(Ah Gott sei Dank du sprichst deutsch! Eine Diskussion auf englisch darüber ist etwas knifflig zumal es kaum Artikel über die deutsche Medienlandschaft auf englisch gibt 😂)

Bei mir ist es vielleicht genau deswegen umgekehrt 🤔 Ich schaue kein Fernsehen und somit auch nicht Tagesschau und bekomme daher meine Nachrichten eher vom DLF und deren Unterformaten. Daher bin ich und die meisten meiner Freunde sehr darüber informiert. Aber in der Tagesschau usw. kommt dazu nichts?

words_number, (edited )

Geht mir genau so. Ich informiere mich hauptsächlich über Podcasts und höre auch gerne DLF Sendungen als Podcast (Nachrichten, Der Tag, Hintergrund, manchmal auch Kontrovers). Wenn ich mal Abendnachrichten oder auch politische Talkshows im Fernsehen sehe, platzt mir aber regelmäßig der Kragen.

  1. wegen dem vielfach widerlegtem Schwachsinn, der dort faktenbasierten Argumenten scheinbar ebenbürtig gegenüber steht und
  2. U.A. im Falle dieses Konfliktes, wegen der sehr einseitigigen Berichterstattung, welche sich immer in der gewählten Sprache und oft auch in der Auswahl und Gewichtung der Themen ganz klar zeigt. Wie gesagt, es ist, als würden die Versuchen, unvermeidbare Diskussionen, die sowieso auf der ganzen Welt geführt werden, sowie schwierige, ambivalente Bewertungen, von den Deutschen Zuschauer*innen fernzuhalte. Dadurch soll wohl ein möglichst geschlossenes Weltbild vermitteln und den Leuten (größtenteils im fortgeschrittenen Rentenalter) die Welt erklärt werden, anstatt ihnen die Möglichkeit zu geben, sich eine Meinung zu bilden und sich weiter zu informieren. Ich vermute, dass eine der Ursachen dafür ist, dass diese Art von Nachrichten höhere Einschaltquoten bringen, was auch die Öffis nicht ganz ignorieren können.

Ziemlich gut diskutiert und anhand von Clips gezeigt (auch im Vergleich zu internationalen anderen Medien), wurde das im Aufwachen!-Podcast, Folgen 456 und 457. Die Podcasts sind sehr lang, haben aber Kapitelmarken. Dazu sei noch erwähnt, dass diverse Redakteur*innen aus den Öffis, denen das selbst auffällt, die aber dagegen nichts ausrichten können, die Podcaster in ihrer Betrachtung bestärkt und ihnen für das Aufzeigen des Problems gedankt haben. Natürlich nicht öffentlich, denn das Thema ist in Deutschland einfach ein Minenfeld.

Candelestine, in I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet.

I mean, it’s unavoidable. Everyone draws their own line in the sand based on what they think is “right” and “wrong”, using whatever best tools and ideas are available to them, picked from the avalanche of options.

The line will not stay put from generation to generation, that’s not a reasonable thing to ask for. If we go back 50 years when tv was king, it’s not like all the tv shows were equally good, or stayed good.

So, it’s kinda just on us to seek out and pick the right things to support, and be prepared in case those change too. It’s kinda the whole reason I’m personally here on the Fediverse. I mean, back in the stone age our ancestors had to do the same things, its not like their environments always just stayed perfect. If something changes and you don’t want to starve to death, you gotta just do something. Can’t just wish it away.

Custoslibera,

Death is unavoidable.

Doesn’t mean I stand in a ditch waiting to die.

I’ll rage against the dying light thank you very much.

Candelestine, (edited )

I wasn’t saying it was actually, genuinely unavoidable. They need customers. Without customers, they shift or die out.

edit to elaborate on what I meant. I realize I spoke in error.

It was created by Europeans who were booted out of Europe. We didn’t want them here, so you have US now.

Yeah, even Russia booted out plenty of peasants into US.

Some Slavic languages, such as Russian, use Roman numerals for numbering centuries

arymandias, in eww

Imagine a few days later everyone he got into contact with getting horribly sick and dying.

BCsven, (edited )

While that happened, and vice versa, this info often tries to whitewash USAs war on indigenous people, and systematic genocide to irradicate the “savage natives” history.com/…/native-americans-genocide-united-st…

arymandias,

Both can be (and are) true, while the Europeans and later Americans did many things that would now be classified as genocide and ethnic cleansing, the majority of the native population simply died inadvertently of diseases. It’s actually unlikely that the Europeans would have been able to so thoroughly conquer the Americas if the native population would have survived the first wave of diseases.

BCsven, (edited )

This makes me think you did not read the full article and the timeline. Of course the indigenous people survived the first wave of diseases. The majority did not die out, This is why the colonizers were later fruatrated with the situation of trying to expand into more land. There are so many historic books about the systematic elimination of “Indians”. The diaease trope is what is taught in american school so we can feel detached from their ultimate demise. But if you don’t have time to search and read, just look at this wiki link on how many were genocided rather than the paltry few you think were left over from disease. …wikipedia.org/…/Genocide_of_Indigenous_peoples

SkybreakerEngineer,

Titanium ideally. Weight is a consideration, but mostly that you body won’t attack it like it would iron alloys and it fuses to bone really well.

@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

People genuinely do not understand history.

I think a good comedic example of this is in Futurama, where some characters from the year 3000 get tossed back to Roswell in 1947. They try to blend with “period correct clothes” and lingo, but since they’re 1000 years out of place, they’re combining things that hadn’t been invented yet with stuff from 1947s past.

A lot of people seem to think cleopatra was hanging out with the dudes who built the pyramids and think it’s weird Sparta and Rome never went to war. I mean, sure technically they both existed in an overlapping period of about 50 years, but technically the USA has had diplomatic contact with the Holy Roman Empire for a few years.

Imagine if a shuttle landed on the planet and someone from 2402 popped out with their neon implants, xarthan death spikes proudly displayed, and an onion on their belt. Everyone knows they don’t show up until at least 2215.

VikingHippie,

and an onion on their belt.

Which will be the style at the time, of course.

funkless_eck,

I don’t know if there’s any period in history where having an onion on your belt would be a bad idea.

VikingHippie,

Then again, there isn’t one where it’s a particularly good one, either 🤷

lightnegative,

Onions have layers

Siegfried,

You are right and i know this isnt what you were thinking about, but Rome and sparta did go to war

I like the futurama reference

Transporter_Room_3,
@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

Shhhhhhhhh…

Also, I thought Sparta had been absorbed by the Achaean League by then.

I guess I helped further prove my point that people don’t know history.
