To be more precise, 4 of the 16 german states use it already (of course Bavaria one of the 4). Others are planning to test it and also federal police was probing it but this has been denied by the ministry so far and in many other states there is a lot of opposition to it. So the fight to data sovereignty and privacy continues. Also in 2018 the German supreme court set up high legal barrier to “automated data analysis” which makes it difficult to fully use Plantirs capabilities. You see a detailed analysis of the whole situation in Germany by CCC here: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-blackbox-palantir#t=1621

not all heroes wear capes

This the funniest thing I’ve seen today xD thx for the laughs

It does sound less problematic if you cite some “good” sources like this one: https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/deutschland/neuerung-seit-1-januar-bundeswehr-maenner-bis-45-muessen-auslandsaufenthalt-melden/100214453.html

So basically it is not sanctioned (yet) if you don’t do it and it is automatically granted as long as we are not in an active “war situation” (whatever that exactly means) or rather as long as our military service is still voluntary.

There definitely an actively developped open source privacy focused period tracker available, go check it out: https://gitlab.com/bloodyhealth/drip But all data stays local on your device , which is of course good from privacy pov but if you are looking for something accessible from different devices then this might not be suitable.

I used to support testing the adblock solutions from Pixeltris some years ago when Twitch actively starting fighting adblockers. It turned out the only reliable way is to use a proxy or VPN of a country that doesnt serve ads via amazons ad system. Mostly small countries where it’s not worth place advertisments. I am using eithe czech, polish or Luxembourg IPs and usually dont get any ads this way anymore as there are no corporstions using their af service.

That depends on your requirements or rather what you compare it with. Their models seem to focus on cheap agentic AI usage or even local installations. This will become relevant as soon as the AI bubble bursts and all big players have to massively adjust their prices. E.g. their latest “devstral 2 small” model obviously has to be compared to similar small model that offer a similar FOSS permissive license. But even comparing their bigger service based offering to similar “cheap” offerings from Anthropic it seems they can compete: https://byteiota.com/mistral-devstral-2-7x-cheaper-than-claude-72-swe-bench/

Please do not promote violence, it is against the lemmy.world code of conduct. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/#1-attacks-on-people-or-groups

Just a reminder to everyone to be civil (according to community rules) but also use the block function when needed. This is both possible for posters and commentors you don’t like to see. From the mastodon.world code of conduct: “Do not report every post that upsets you. Please report posts that violate our rules but for others that you may find distasteful, or just don’t like, use the tools available to you. You can block the user or mute the conversation.”

I didn’t know about Rethink, looks like a cool project

Man I just love the browser and its features. But it does help that they are EU based and have some pretty well known browser veterans as founders. Also they are quite supportive in their forums and I feel they try to be as transparent as possible in their blog posts. E.g. they made clear to support Manifest V2 as long as it is somehow possible while also keep on improving their builtin ad blocker (but we all know nothing can keep up with uBlock)

Some of the good one are in German. They do have subtitles I think tho or even separate audio tracks. However this year it felt like there were quite a lot in English.

Rather they just read out her essay: https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/how-they-tried-to-kill-me/ Bit it is indeed a good read/listen

I think this is the normal instance behavior of Lemmy instances. It would be too much load for small instances to sync everything in the fediverse. Instead a member of your instance needs to first manually find a community before it starts tracking and makes it automatically available to the other instance members from there on.

Few weeks ago I saw a really cool presentation about the history and current state of Linux phone. It is unfortunately in German, slides in English though: https://youtu.be/JeFoRE72Gu0

you certainly have very strong opinions about something you can’t exactly remember. It’s ok to be wrong though we won’t hold it against you :-)
