I graduated in 2022 with an MSc ComSci and have been without a job since new year. I think my ghost rate on applications have been around 60-70%. And let’s not even talk about how few job posts there are in the first place…
The few I do hear from replies “what an amazing resume! We have though decided to continue with other applicants.” Number of first interviews: 1. Number of second interviews: 0. Number of applications: I lost count.

on Republican bill would order ISPs, DNS providers, and VPNs to block piracy sites in c/technology@lemmy.world · 5d ago
You don’t need to copyright it. Everything is copyrighted by default. You can decide to relax your copyright protection if you want, but the © symbol isn’t some magic spell. The sign kinda makes it look like it works the other way.

on Republican bill would order ISPs, DNS providers, and VPNs to block piracy sites in c/technology@lemmy.world · 5d ago
We got a DNS-based censorship law in Denmark ages ago. It was strictly for blocking child pornography. Today the list also includes: Unlicensed gambling sites, piracy, as well as a handful of sites that “doesn’t contain CSAM or other obviously illegal content” (old source, but nothing has really changed except probably the amount of websites on the list)
Censorship will never be limited to what it was first set in motion for. It is just too powerful and it is too tempting to not expand it to cover other “nuisances” a government or its lobbyists might have. If the barrier of entry is just adding a new string to a list, they’re gonna add that string to the list.
And if you want to circumvent it you just point your DNS to Quad9, Cloudflare, Google, or any of the DNS services that doesn’t implement the filter (including at least one Danish DNS service), so in essence it is pretty useless for the target groups it’s meant for.

on Shutting down our public encrypted DNS servers and sponsoring Quad9 instead | Mullvad VPN in c/technology@lemmy.world · 5 Sep 2026
You might be right but it is such a defeatist way to look at it. Maybe 30%-50% goes to taxes and you ha e no control over that. You also need food, a home, and depending where you live a car, so that limits your options. But the rest you have full control over. You can choose not to buy a Tesla, not to subscribe to Mullvad, not to donate to Omarchy. And with the money you save you can buy another car from a brand whose CEO didn’t literally make the Nazi gesture on live TV, subscribe to a VPN that’s not donating to a Nazi party, either directly or through a founder, and instead of investing time and money in a distro founded by a racist, you could use another distro.
It’s only impossible if you say it is. I’m also boycotting US as much as possible due to Greenland and the EU tariffs. It’s even harder because of how connected the economies are, but I still go out of my way to buy Danish soda instead of Pepsi or Coca-Cola, Italian toothpaste instead of Colgate, etc.

I moved to AirVPN after Mullvad shut down port forwarding and haven’t had any issues. It’s run by privacy activists.

It’s not that it goes away. It’s more like throwing a live grenade at your enemy while you’re both stuck in the same room. He is so obsessed with hitting his “enemy” that he doesn’t realise he himself is in the line of fire.

Update, kernel panic happened today, so I updated the BIOS settings:
- tCL (CAS Latency): Change from 11 to 12
- tRCD: Change from 11 to 12
- tRP: Change from 11 to 12
- tRAS: Change from 28 to 32
- DRAM voltage changed from 1.488 to 1.530
All the initial values were Auto values. I’ll let it sit for at least a month with no reboots before calling it fixed. I’ll set a reminder

That was kinda the plot in 007: First Light
Spoiler
The AI was sold to MI6 and had perfect accuracy. Turned out the guy who sold it sent a fix team every time it was wrong and MI6 made a “mistake” because of bad Intel, so the team could clean up the scene and make it look like the AI was right all along.

Seems fine for me now. In fact it looks like they switched to Let’s Encrypt for certification so maybe they learned something from last time.

on Sony Reminds PS Users They Don't Own Digital Games in c/technology@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
The EULA is not beholden to copyright law. “Limited license” is in direct contradiction to European Court of Justice’s ruling that if a commoner expects a “sale” then all rights given by a sale are protected which cannot be limited by an EULA. Right now regulators are questioning whether having a “Buy” button constitutes a sale and is thus protected by the ECJ ruling in UsedSoft vs. Oracle. Nevertheless they’re trying to combat this behaviour either through interpreting current regulations or by creating new regulations to close potential loopholes.

on Sony Reminds PS Users They Don't Own Digital Games in c/technology@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
I’m not American, so no. A contractual term can only be provided before entering a purchase agreement in EU. Copyright law is still in effect, but all the EULAs you read after purchase (e.g. during boot) are void here.
-
on Sony Reminds PS Users They Don't Own Digital Games in c/technology@lemmy.world · 23 Aug 2026
EU is very adamant that you can only present contractual terms before entering an agreement (purchase) not after. All those EULAs showing up in the game before you are shown the main menu are void in EU.
If the EULA is instead embedded in the purchase flow with an “I agree” checkbox then the UsedSoft vs. Oracle case is likely still precedence to argue that you own the copy. Reason is that the purchase flow uses the “Buy” terminology and nowhere outside of the EULA it mentions rental/lease/limited/etc. This would breach the “reasonable consumer expectations” as the storefront didn’t make it clear in their purchase experience that it was only a limited license you obtained and that a normal consumer doesn’t expect “limited” when reading “Buy”. This part has though not been tested in court yet but most legal scholars agree that this would be the likely outcome should someone bring it up.

on Sony Reminds PS Users They Don't Own Digital Games in c/technology@lemmy.world · 23 Aug 2026
Luckily the EULA doesn’t apply when obtaining it through unauthorized means since the EULA would never have been accepted upon a purchase that didn’t happen.
(It is though copyright infringement, but you still have more ownership over the bytes on your own disk since DRM would have been removed or neutered)

You don’t even have a reliable way to keep track of your disk usage anymore. That was the final drop for me when they removed “Other locations” where I could see how much space was left. The Disk Usage Analyzer app is a complete mess and don’t give an easy “you got 10 gigs left mate.” I had to resort to the terminal to get good accurate measures. Now I have a percentage in my taskbar in Plasma.

on How can i teach myself to contribute to these projects? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 14 Aug 2026
For a project I liked I saw that the translation of the UI was only about 1% complete for my native language. I decided to dedicate the weekend to get it above 95%. This was apparently the part that seemed too hard for most to make a dent in, but across several new versions my language is still 100%. I think my groundwork made it easier for some sporadic contributors to get a small bit of dopamine when updating the few new strings in a release to see it hit 100% again.

The server currently runs on 32gig but I was planning on upgrading to 64 or 128gig DDR5. Could go as low as 16 if need be, but the the price is still hurting more than having to reboot 2-4 times a month.

Only thing I wish for Christmas is to be able to replace the RAM and mobo in one of my servers. It is failing with a kernel panic about once a week and it is an old DDR3 platform I planned to upgrade back in January. I have isolated the issue to a hardware fault but left without a solution…

on Danish pupils will have to orally defend essays in attempt to combat AI cheating /// Government introduces several measures, including monitoring of computers, for pupils aged 16 to 19 in c/technology@lemmy.world · 7 Aug 2026
Danish here: This isn’t exactly a foreign concept. All of my project exams in University had a written part (ranging from 50-150 pages), sometimes a technical part, and then an oral part where we defended the report. That’s one per semester.
Defending an essay would likely not take more than 15min, 3-4 hours was enough to probe a group of 7 to figure out who should get what grade based on contribution (or lack thereof if they just rode the other’s coattails). 5min to present the essay with a short summary, 5min for questions to probe the student, and 5 minutes for buffer.
I could even see this be used as a combined written/oral exam where you get a grade for both in a language class. If the essay is shit but your oral articulation in the foreign language is excellent then you could get top grade orally while failing on the written exam part. That means no actual loss of time.
The hard part is that most grades in our version of high school (gymnasium) are based on the teacher’s observations of your abilities in class. It is only some classes that are randomly selected for a end-of-year exam to save time. This idea about defending an essay wouldn’t work in the rest of the classes.
