  • Trump may put US into a recession, former adviser Anthony Scaramucci warns

    Jump

  • I think you might be onto something there, still remains in favour of individual capitalists against national capital - and is usually something, the state is supposed to prevent (it's jobs in capitalism are mostly preventing class conflict between bourgeoisie and proletariat just as much as conflict between individual capitalists hurting the economy at large).

    But this now feels like 19th century economics from before understanding the nature of crises, and 19th century "sphere of influence" geopolitics all in one.

    Here's hoping they end up shooting themselves in the foot by underestimating the consequences of their actions.

  • The Nixon-era Richardson Waiver came about amid a push for more public engagement, with the waiver acting essentially as a workaround to amending the APA's exemptions. As Richard Brady, the assistant secretary for administration, wrote in the Federal Register at the time, implementing the Richardson Waiver "should result in greater participation by the public in the formulation of this Department's rules and regulations."

    "The public benefit from such participation should outweigh any administrative inconvenience or delay which may result from use of the APA procedures in the five exempt categories," Brady wrote. The waiver also noted that the Health Department should use the "good cause" exception "sparingly."

    Kennedy's new policy rescinds the Richardson Waiver entirely. He writes in stark contrast: "The extra-statutory obligations of the Richardson Waiver impose costs on the Department and the public, are contrary to the efficient operation of the Department, and impede the Department's flexibility to adapt quickly to legal and policy mandates."

    So, just to make this clear, they didn't just not really implement their fabled transparency, they also walked back on the control mechanisms that were already in place.

  • It's fascinating, because the people behind him are genuine grifters and/or delusional ideologues, he can't even make proper politics in the interest of capitalists. (Just in the interests of some individual capitalists, against the interests of national capital accumulation).

    How To Migrate A Mastodon Account From One Server To Another

  • I unstuck him - I think the script sometimes gets caught up on one command (e.g. "right" in that case) - and it seems providing the same command again helps the script to get unstuck (just giving another single "right" command).

    PS: Not responsible for the script or stream, I just switch into it every now and then when my ADHD brain can't focus on what it is supposed to do and needs something else for a while before doing what it is supposed to be doing.

  • All things considered, it's not yet falling off as quickly as I would have expected, maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, but I seem to remember Lemmy had a harder crash after the first reddit exodus, as did mastodon several times, when people fled xitter.

  • the sole dev of both of these apps doesn’t think he needs any help and refuses to open source them.

    Oof, that sucks. Seems like someone else needs to create an open source alternative app. The platforms themselves are libre software, right? I couldn't find a lot for loops on that, but Pixelfed itself seems to be.

  • Is this being used for fediverse stuff yet?

  • Perfect moment to plug !Peertube@lemmy.world

    Growing steadily, and in my opinion, definitely a way to supplement (still far from replace) YT. There's actually some neat content on there by now, from just good to fascinatingly bizarre - but almost always very genuine and authentic. Especially when comparing to some years back, it really has become a proper seed for a platform instead of a novel experiment - but more people interacting with the content and/or supporting the creators would be amazing as the next step.

Okay, it wasn't a mistake, but I am ready to suffer, for my king president and country. Okay, that country is going down the shitter, but that's because the migrants and left sabotaged my emperor!"

  • Does AI detect breast cancer better than doctors can?

  • Definitely, here's hoping the accountability question will prevent that, but the incentive is there, especially in systems with for-profit healthcare.

  • Even if it were to do pattern recognition as well as or slightly worse than a human, it's still worthwhile. As the article points out: It's basically a non-tiring, always-ready second opinion. That alone helps a lot.

  • Sunk cost fallacy. Also, admitting to having been wrong is hard. It's one of the core mechanisms cults use to ensure loyalty. The more embarrassing, absurd and shameful the accepted "truths" become, the harder it is to exit the cult.

  • Oh :D

    Well, you are doing a great job, and I like what I have seen so far! Keep up the good work!

  • Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad?

    Jump

  • I just rejoined PeerTube after I had a quick look years ago, and it's gotten way better since then, actually. I found out Space Quest Historian is on it, too!

    But yeah, discoverability isn't good. Lack of an algorithm also makes bingewatching impossible - for better and worse, I guess.

    As you linked them, I'd also recommend peertube.wtf - they even reacted very quickly when I reported a transphobic german conspiracy channel/server.
