Sometimes I happen upon articles that make me think that I’m doing wrong kinds of research myself. 🌚

World News@lemmy.world•Germany charges Ukrainian over Nord Stream pipeline blastsEnglish
22·4 days agoTake example of Hungary. They aren’t as much dependent on Russian gas for their own consumption as for having the privilege to sell it further. That transit pipe is still an influx of capital and a tool to create strong pro-Russian lobbies from said capital.

World News@lemmy.world•Germany charges Ukrainian over Nord Stream pipeline blastsEnglish
121·4 days agoSerhii K did Germany a great favour, by destroying what was essentially a sabotage of German independence as a state. For that he was charged with “sabotage of civilian infrastructure”.

World News@lemmy.world•Going to extremes: Russian authorities’ persecution of the LGBT community has entered the realm of the absurdEnglish
9·11 days agoAccording to its compilers, their purpose is to “confirm or refute” whether the movement is “large-scale,” to determine whether it is engaged in the “transformation” and “destruction of fundamental Russian spiritual and moral values, particularly traditional family values.”
Meanwhile, traditional family values in Russia:
So, what I’d say here - if one’s a fascist larping as ancient roman - excluding gay sex makes one a poser.
I’ve worked at different places that used Teams, and that thing with having to re- login regularly is certainly fault of whoever administers Teams within your organization.
I can sometimes hear Teams notification sound from neighbour’s apartment, triggers me to check my phone almost every time.

World News@lemmy.world•Far-right millionaire wins Colombia’s razor-tight presidential electionEnglish
21·14 days agoYou’re putting too much faith in an intelligence agency with most embarrassing history (and I must specify that whole of it is embarrassing) under most embarrassing (up to date) management of United States.
I think there will be some inventions in regard of “take home projects” like certification of said tasks, secure repositories - things that let you easily check if whatever you just got is legit, or maybe in-browser environments for doing tasks, where it’s all handled on employers servers. Just takes someone to formulate an idea that could be sold and rest is details.
And as of resumes, phone interviews and in-person interviews - kinda happened already, at least speaking from my engineer’s perspective. Today just hiring someone without in-person interview is a bit foolish due to how easy it is to just open ChatGPT tab or whatever on another screen. And potential engineers then are invited to an in-person interview and fail it miserably after giving somewhat competent answers in online call.
Damn, I thought LinkedIn itself got hacked, but that’s just “recruiter” trying to get people to install malicious npm modules. 🥱
Good heads up tho, I periodically get folks trying some bullshit with me in there like “let’s talk on WhatsApp”.

World News@lemmy.world•Mexican parents criticise ending school year a month early for World CupEnglish
57·2 months agoEach sensible country nowadays figured that all those Olympics and World Cups are now simply an enormous money sink and dick measuring contest for authoritarian hellholes, hence the protests in all somewhat sensible countries before each one.
And I wouldn’t even go into massive corruption of all these international sports committees, with president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino specifically also being a fucking tone-deaf degenerate.

Technology@lemmy.world•Connecticut lawmakers approve bill for cell phone ban in schools — but critics argue that having different rules for adults and students is ‘not good role modeling at all’English
22·2 months agoYeah, but explain that to the children, especially young ones.
I do teaching, and when I set rules about not using phones during class - I put mine to the pile too. You can present the most compelling argument ever, but there’s a much higher chance it’s gonna reach fifth graders if you actually practice what you preach, and show the example of self-discipline, otherwise it will feel dishonest or unfair to kids, because they’re kids.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI finds signs of pancreatic cancer before tumors developEnglish
20·2 months agoArticle actually describes it well enough, how scientists trained a model on data from CT scans of patients who were treated for other conditions some time before being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Technology@lemmy.world•Canonical/Ubuntu have been under DDoS for more than 17 hoursEnglish
192·2 months agoI actually don’t see any issues with AI in Ubuntu as long as it’s not like Microsoft’s “here’s Copilot absolutely everywhere, even in Notepad”. I mean, there’s also no way they can shove it up users throats like that too, even their so beloved snap can be removed from the system quite easily.
But implementing that would still certainly require some constructive discussion with userbase, and it’s already off to a rough start. 🌚
I’ve had Ender 3 V3-SE, which had been an upgrade from basic Ender 3 Pro, which, funnily enough, got glitchy from firmware flashing gone wrong.
And on topic of Creality Cloud - I’ve just used Octoprint on RPi as the latter was simply cheaper at that moment. 🌚
I’d recommend trying some budget-y CoreXY-type printer, but I’d be very careful with Creality lineup on that, as many of their options didn’t really turn out well, basic K1 is straight up dogwater, but some later revisions like KE might be better.
Mentioned already Elegoo Centauri is cool. If you want multi-filament system as well - take a look at Centauri Carbon 2, although it gets a bit less efficient with keeping temperature inside the enclosure due to big silly hat, and using different materials (e.g. different ones for supports) is going to be quite tricky.


I blame Jesus. If not for him - we’d probably still be believing in sacred forests and shit.
