  • Hängt, wie bei jeder Kommunikation, auch davon ab wie es interpretiert wird, bzw. interpretiert werden möchte. Der von dir zitierte Punkt ist basierend auf dem von dir genannten Kontext für mich persönlich klar eine Formulierung einer Erwartung an eine Verpflichtung.

    Mein Punkt war die Korinthenkackerei wegen irgendwelcher dämlicher Formulierungen und die clickbait-Schlagzeile.

    Egal wie gut es formuliert ist und in welcher Sprache, Putin hat mehrfach bewiesen das Absprachen welcher Art auch immer nur so lange eingehalten werden, wie es ihm etwas bringt, daher also per se hinfällig. Und das das ganze auf “russischen Formulierungen” basiert - ja, klar, das Gespräch war ja auch unter Beteiligung von russischen Abgesandten. Englisch, ganz zu schweigen von gutem Englisch, ist im gesamten Ostblock eher eine Seltenheit, als die Regel wie im Westen.



  • In all honesty, the constant rambling against any service provider when something goes wrong is tiring. as. fuck.

    “I’m not using anything, I’m self-hosting everything and no cloudflare can take ME down!” - hot stuff buddy, let’s talk again when at some point you’ll have something interesting and get hugged to death. Or when something of your diy self hosted stack breaks or gets taken down by an attack.

    “I’m not using (big company name) but (small startup name), and I’m not having any issues!” - wow, great, obviously the goal of the company is to stay as small as they are and supply your service. Let’s talk again too, when at some point your friendly startup gets sold, or grows more. Oh btw, smaller company usually also means less resources.

    “That’s all because they are using centralized services, we need to federate everything to not have a single point of failure” - federation alone won’t help if the centralized service has several magnitudes of resources more. Any single cloudflare exit node can probably handle several times the load of the fediverse. We’ve seen lemmy instances go down all the same, and this will happen with any infrastructure.

    I’m not supporting big companies having that much market share and the amount of control over the Internet as a whole that they have. But, have at least some respect from a technical standpoint for the things they’ve built. I’d say way over 80% here haven’t seen infrastructure, traffic and software on a scale that’s even remotely close to the big players, but are waffling about how this or that is better and how those problems should be solved and handled. Sit the fuck down.


  • Honestly, cleaning up legacy shit code is already a thing, it’s called consulting.

    It won’t be a dedicated career field. The AI bubble is at an all time high, and it works now. What people will realize, is that there is more to a piece of software than just the initial code / prototype. AI is amazing at prototyping, it’s fast and it gives the dopamine rush of bringing something online fast. What AI is not good at is actually creating production ready code. Maintainability, security, operations of AI slop code suck. Massively. Adding features by AI to a vibe coded codebase sucks, and all of this is amplified exponentially if the person vibe coding does not know their shit.

    The question on vibe coding is not if it will break, but when. And when it breaks, it does not matter if it’s AI or just bad code. It’s a broken app that needs fixing, and that’s just your regular software engineering job.


  • Fandest du es auch so bemerkenswert wie ich, dass die vorherige Bundesregierung einen dreistelligen Milliardenbetrag („Sondervermögen“) für Krieg einfach herbeibeschließen konnte und für die Rente nicht?

    Ist genau das was ich gesagt habe. Das Geld wird fließen, ob es da ist oder nicht. Mein Problem ist: Kürzungen bekommen aber immer nur die Gruppen, die ohnehin schon Probleme haben.

    Es besteht keine direkte Korrelation zwischen höheren Steuern und besserer Pflege. Der Grund: Steuern sind nicht zweckgebunden. Dürfen sie auch nicht sein. Den Punkt ignorierst du leider.

    Du wiederholst dich. Ich habe nirgendwo behauptet das es eine direkte Korrelation zwischen Steuererhöhung und besserer Pflege gibt. Was ich sage ist, es gibt eine direkte Korrelation zwischen Steuererhöhungen für Reiche und einer Vermeidung von weiteren Leistungsstreichungen/-kürzungen für hilfsbedürftige Personengruppen gibt, und das gerade das Beispiel von den Leistungen für Pflegegrad 1 nicht mal ein Tropfen auf dem heißen Stein im Vergleich zu den Ausgaben ist.

    Erfahrungsgemäß gibt der Staat zusätzliche Einnahmen aber bevorzugt für Lobbyisten und die Scheiß-Rüstungsindustrie aus.

    Erfahrungsgemäß? Das Haushaltsloch und das Schuldenpaket hast du aber mitbekommen, oder? Die Realität ist: es braucht keine zusätzlichen Einnahmen, das Geld wird fließen, ob es da ist oder nicht.

    Die Frage die bleibt ist: Wie wird dieses Loch wieder geschlossen.

    Laut STATIS - 4888882 pflegebedürftig, davon 16% Zuhause mit Pflegegrad 1 versorgt, das sind 782221 Menschen die 131 Euro bekommen.

    Das sind ~1.22 Milliarden Euro im Jahr die man “sparen” könnte.

    Geplante Ausgaben Bundeshaushalt 2025: 502.5 Milliarden. Prognose Defizit: 172 Milliarden. Verteidigungsetat 2025: 53.25 Milliarden. Gesamte Waffenlieferungen Ukraine Stand April 2025: 28 Milliarden.

    Geschätzte Vermögensverteilung:

    • 8590 - 9320 Milliarden Nettovermögen
    • davon 31-34% bei dem oberen 1% - 2662 - 3168 Milliarden
    • bzw. 60% bei den oberen 10% - also 5154 - 5592 Milliarden.

    Aber klar - Steuererhöhungen für Superreiche bringen nichts.

    Aber diese abgeführten Steuern könnten die Löcher stopfen, die unsere Politik reißt und dann krampfhaft versucht wieder dadurch zu stopfen, dass ohnehin schon bedürftige Gruppen Kürzungen in ihren Leistungen erhalten.

    Von höheren Steuern kann sich kein Pflegefall was kaufen, aber die höheren Steuern verhindern das ein Pflegefall (noch mehr) zu einem Armutsfall wird.

    Also ja, hier ist deine erwartbare Antwort: Mehr Steuern für Reiche.


  • In addition to all the suggestions - check out modding databases like nexusmods or whatever. Many older games that would not fit your definition have graphical mods that will make your GPU work.

    Personally I’ve played modded stalker, fallout, elder scrolls. Hell, you can make Minecraft look absolutely amazing, but it’s a pain to set up properly. You’ve mentioned you’re not into horror games, some games also have total conversions available that do a some genre bending too.

    Cyberpunk is not that old, but it’s one of the best looking games ever made IMHO.

    Witcher 3, also potentially with mods.



  • No matter how well reasoned, allegedly fit for purpose or how much something pretends to be it, we shouldn’t be trusting those promises, especially not from people we don’t know. That does not end well neither for the free candy van nor for cybersecurity. Trust like that has been responsible for a lot of attacks over varying vectors and for projects going wrong.


  • On the other hand, detrimental reliance is a tort and if someone is relying on an app for a specific safety function, the app could be civilly liable if it fails it’s function in some way.

    Yes, if the app would be any kind of official tool.

    Imagine if you had this attitude about an insulin use tracker/calculator, that sometimes gave wildly wrong insulin dose numbers.

    Yes, and that’s why regulations for those kinds of things exist, that prevent those things. There is no regulation for the ice tracker.

    Maybe down the road, it’s decided that aiding and abetting ICE is a crime, and providing misinformation intentionally or unintentionally is a criminal act. App developer dude could be criminally liable if he knew or ought to have known he had vulnerabilities. You know, in your New Nuremberg trials that you are going to get sometime in the next decade or so.

    If down the road a regulation would happen for, app developer dude would be forced to either comply or to stop operations.

    So fucking what? He is not being paid in any kind, and anything he does on that project is volunteer work. If he was not able to do anything on that project due to regular work, vacation, personal issues, or the simple fact that he didn’t want to?

    If you don’t pay for a service, you don’t get to decide what people do, deal with it

    Honestly, apart from the report being potentially wrong, the researcher seems pretty entitled as well. Like good intentions and all that, but he’s given him a week to fix the issue, usual practice in responsible disclosure are 90 days. We’re not talking about a company here, it’s some single random dude providing the app.

    This really sounds like some personal issue written down for public drama, while making himself ridiculous for not knowing his own shit properly.




  • It’s definitely badly communicated and suspicious, I just called out jumping to extreme conclusions based on a suspicion alone. There probably will be people who are gonna review the code and see how much of it is probably LLM generated, and then we will know. I still think that it’s pretty much impossible to vibe code something on that scale, but I haven’t seen their cursorrules either.



  • Just because they are using Cursor, it doesn’t mean that they are vibe coding. Anyone grabbing their pitchforks for that and screaming “they are vibecoding” only shows their own incompetence.

    If they would be vibecoding, their whole software would’ve gone to shit long ago.

    Just because some random people without an engineering background are using vibecoding to push their broken slop, it doesn’t mean that any kind of AI assisted coding is bad.


  • Unless there are those who need certain words for their jobs, I can kinda understand why Microsoft wouldn’t want emails from work addresses to go out with political agendas… for either side.

    Sure. Then block both sides, and not only the one not bringing you money.

    Work emails should just be about work. Too many people use their work emails like a personal email… with their banking, shopping, etc. That’s what personal email addresses are for.

    No one uses their company email for their personal banking, simply for the reason because if you’d leave, you’d lose your access, and since most companies run behind firewalls, vpns, 2fa tokens and similar additional credentials, it’s simply harder to use.

    This policy should go for many non-work related topics too. IT can unblock the words for certain users who need to use them for their job.

    Of course, let’s waste resources to maintain idiotic blocklists that are out of date the moment they are rolled out, and additional resources to make the blocklist actually work. Palestine, p4lestine, pale s tine, p a l e s t i n e, paleztine. Need more?

    You’re not at work for someone with this kind of unhinged mentality watching you working for 8 hours a day straight with no breaks and no distractions. You’re there to get your work done. In my current team, we’ve had the best ideas talking about our problems at the coffee machine. I personally focus best when I have music on. We’re doing sports together once a week on a company fitness incentive, which boosted our team dynamic massively. None of this would be possible in such a controlled environment.


  • “Googling a lot while coding” is not even remotely close to vibe coding, please don’t gaslight yourself into that.

    When you read up on things, you know what you’re looking for. You read a potential solution (e.g. part of a documentation, an example, someone else’s solution, a solution to a similar problem), you think about it and transfer that to your own problem, with your own code, with your own thoughts.

    Using AI support is totally fine too - it’s a smarter code completion, nothing more. It might spit out something wrong, something partial, something good. You might ignore it as with the regular completion. In the end, it’s still you thinking about it, modifying it until it works, and doing your thing.

    “Vibe coding” is basically saying tech jesus take the wheel. And it might go well for someone who cannot code, who managed to create their small game or some website. It will go horribly wrong for any project handling user data, sensitive data, or something that needs to be maintained after. We’ve had more than enough examples of that.
