After a two-month analysis, the hackers revealed that Newag intentionally interfered with the software of the trains, causing forced malfunctions to secure lucrative contracts for their repair. They immobilized trains by implementing logic that prevented them from moving if stationary for more than ten days. Additionally, some trains had a “safeguard” preventing them from moving from specific locations in Poland, including service halls of competing companies.

I hope they get sued into bankruptcy, this type of behavior is despicable

Just exclude Russia? It's not like they give a damn about their climate commitments anyway

Russia's like that one kid that attacked another kid, is now having a bad day, and trying to make everyone else's life miserable for it

Der Gesetzesentwurf des Parlaments sah ein Verbot für KI-Anwendungen wie eine automatisierte Gesichtserkennung vor. Die EU-Staaten beharrten aber auf Ausnahmen zum Schutz der nationalen Sicherheit, zur Verteidigung und für andere militärische Zwecke.

Die nun erzielte Einigung sieht Beschränkungen für die Nutzung biometrischer Identifizierungssysteme durch die Strafverfolgungsbehörden vor.

They are fighting a war of attrition, that will last for years until Russia yields

You are forgetting next year's US elections, unfortunately. But if that doesn't go the wrong way, the Vietnam scenario is indeed somewhat realistic, with the difference that Ukraine is a lot closer to Russia than Vietnam was to the US

To be fair the German railway unions are a bit crazy with their demands

Just wait until it spreads across all of Europe..

Musk "picked" the wrong fighting grounds here. I'm pretty sure he will lose even at the supreme court eventually. And each day this drags on is a win for the unions

I once collaborated with an exceptionally talented programmer who seemed so engrossed in his addiction that he would invent challenges where there were none, presumably to make his work more engaging and bearable. However, this often led to incomplete projects because once the stimulating aspects were finished, he struggled to find the motivation to continue. Clearly, this behavior was extreme and detrimental.

I think a lot of devs can relate to that

You should only pay full price if the release quality is great. And even then, there's a reason why #patientgamers is a trend. You save on hardware cost, game cost & get better quality games with extra post release content

When the fire starts spreading, you know you've fucked up

Sounds like a huge subsidy for existing big business to me...

Thank god. The environment is better off without it

 

My personal highlight: black formatter integration.

So convenient to just format on save.

 

Which smartphones will get Android 14? Do we know?

Currently it seems the sidebar search lists search results from the fediverse, not from my subscribed communities. If I want to go to a specific community, I go to the sidebar. With a lot of subscribed communities you can't favorite all of them, nor do you want to search the entire sidebar list manually

Example: I am subscribed to [email protected] and [email protected].

When I search space, neither show up. Instead a bunch of smaller communities are listed, like [email protected], or occult (wtf?).

Maybe I've just not figured it out, but it's there a way to navigate the subs on a different instance without switching accounts? Like going directly to [email protected]?

Example, I'm on lemmy.ca but I want to subscribe to /c/linux on programming.dev. I'm struggling hard to navigate to this community, as it's not turning up in search either.

Edit: I found it on search, but it's made worse by the fact that search is not showing the instance of the communities, so you just end up with a bunch of communities and a subscriber count based on your local instance, which means pretty much nothing

Search comments in post (self.lemmyconnect)

I saw a feature request for searching comments inside a post in this community, about 4 weeks old.

Seems like a pretty key feature that is still missing. Is this planned currently?

Is this due to my settings or has the default changed?

 

This is quite unintuitive nowadays, as most interfaces don't require manual saving, especially on mobile. I've caught myself more than once forgetting to save and having to redo settings changes. I think what makes it worse is that the settings button doesn't stand out on dark mode, or change much when there are unsaved changes
