Thanks for sharing this!

Seems to be only a Windows driver hack. If this ends up being supported by Monado that would be cool.

They seem to promote the idea that Europe is behind on AI technology and that with the right type of regulation AI is something desireable. This is the lobby line that AI companies like Anthropic and Mistral have been pushing hard to differentiate themselves from companies like OpenAI, but ultimatly it is the same kind of false AI or bust message that all these companies like to push.

There is no feature to ban specific domain links in communities. So what you are really asking for is us moderators to get into turf wars with people posting these links.

Believe it or not, but this has been historically an issue in this community and my dm inbox is full of people complaining about us removing links to dubious sources.

I personally think Politico is not quite at the level that requires moderator intervention in blanket style. It is more like some tabloid that requires more scrutiny about the sources used and so far the commenters here did a good job contextualizing such articles.

That you think Gajim looks like it was build in 2001 tells me you haven't used XMPP in quite a while 😅

The Signal foundation also controls the ends, as they control the official clients and can push encryption breaking updates to end user devices; in cooperation with Google/Apple even to selected devices of individual people which makes this nearly impossible to detect.

Such leading questions 🤡 That is an AI promotion piece in disguise.

Well, I think XMPP or Snikket is worth a try and definitely more reliable than Matrix, but you might also want to look at DeltaChat.

Mumble is nice, but it hasn't changed much since the time people explicitly moved away from it to Discord, so why would they go back it it now?

Naja, das jetzt einfach so zu streichen finde ich erst einmal auch fragwürdig, aber grundsätzlich man drüber nachzudenken wie man digitale Dokumente zukunftssicher speichern kann sollte ziemlich hoch auf der Agenda der Nationalbibliothek stehen, und den Eindruck bekomme ich von dem Artikel so gar nicht.

So why bring the example of Samsung then?

Yes, but it isn't a Discord replacement, but rather a WhatsApp replacement.

https://movim.eu/ is xmpp based and might be more suitable as a Discord replacement, but to be honest it isn't quite there yet if you are looking mainly for a voice chat app.

The benefits of agrivoltaics—the placement of solar panels over cropland for more efficient land use—varies dramatically depending on where it’s located, finds new research from the United States. As agrivoltaics spread and attract more interest, this is one of the first studies to really dig into its inherent trade-offs, and identify places where it works well for both electricity generation and farmers’ bottom lines.

The trade-offs in question are that while the huge increased electricity production enabled by more solar panels is a positive, and renting out land to solar providers can also provide new revenue streams for farmers, the shading effect of solar panels can disturb crop growth. Weighing up these costs and benefits has complicated the picture for farmers who may be considering agrivoltaics on their land.

To shed some light on the issue, a study led by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign started by looking at 14 years of maize and soybean crop data from the Midwestern US. The dataset, which included information on crop yield and water-use, compared conventional non-solar cropland with farms where a third of the productive area was covered by panels. They also applied climate simulations to the data, to determine how crop-growing conditions and solar panel impact could change under a low, high, and highest-emission future scenario.

Very quickly, stark differences appeared in the model, between the more humid eastern stretch of the Midwest, and the drier semiarid western Midwest.
