Someone below suggested that it removes commercial incentive to get people addicted, which makes sense to me. Additionally, those clubs will serve as a support group, if anyone does struggle with addiction or other unwanted side effects.

Die Motivlage sei noch unklar. Statt wegen gefährlicher Körperverletzung werde nun wegen des Vortäuschens einer Straftat gegen den 22-jährigen Deutschen ermittelt.

Den Kollegen dann vielleicht auch einfach in die Klapse stecken…

Ja, fände ich auch absolut notwendig. Kann sehr gut sein, dass er gewisse vermeintliche Bedrohungen überspitzt dargestellt hat, während rechtsextreme Bedrohungen gedeckt wurden. Damit kann er große Teile der Politik und politischer Meinungen geprägt haben.

Awesome, I hope this catches on, or at least serves as a tiny argument why egoists might not want to buy SUVs.
In our small town, you practically can’t park an SUV on most parking spaces without reaching into the also-far-too-narrow sidewalk or street, but law enforcement is far too lenient for the egoists to care.

Erstaunlich unaufgeregt. Man konnte von der Shopping-Meile einfach direkt in die Demo reinspazieren und da war alles komplett friedlich. Ich dachte, dass man da irgendwie mit Faschos oder der Polizei aneinandergeraten könnte, aber da gab’s überhaupt nichts.

Hab jetzt nicht mit den Polizist*innen gequatscht, aber als ich in der Menschentraube von Nicht-Assis stand, dachte ich mir nur, dieses Gefühl der Rührung muss doch bestimmt sogar im Streifenwagen ankommen.

Dass da tausende Menschen zusammenkommen, um zu sagen, dass Menschenrechte geil sind. Dass es geil ist, sich verdammt nochmal zu vertragen. Dass das nicht irgendwie eine politisch motivierte Einzelgruppe ist, sondern Menschen aus dem gesamten politischen Spektrum, jung & alt, ganze Familien, und sowohl Menschen, die dem arischen Bullshit entsprechen, als auch Leute, die von der AfD eigentlich eingeschüchtert werden sollen.
Einige hielten Schilder, Regenbogen- und Antifa-Flaggen hoch, aber es gab wirklich Unzählige, wo man gemerkt hat, dass sie sonst nicht auf Demos gehen. Die gekommen sind, um unfassbar unpolitische Farbe zu bekennen, dass Nazis hier nicht willkommen sind.

The dumb part is that most Cookie Banners do not actually adhere to the law. While I do see room for improvement in the law itself, those improvements will go unseen, too, if the law is not enforced.

Wow, wie sich das auch einfach liest, als würde es von der Webseite selbst stammen. Nirgends wird erwähnt, dass das von einer KI frei erfunden wurde.

Well, to reference Julia Evans another time:

head and HEAD are specifically the third meaning of ‘branch’, i.e. the newest commit on a branch, but can also refer to a commit not on a branch, when in that detached head state.

And while I’m not enamored with these names either, I can’t think of a word that I like better for this meaning.

Recently, I saw a toddler ask her mom why a snowman decoration was wearing a scarf. And the mom decided to go the playful route and said that the snowman is probably cold. So, the toddler followed up asking why the snowman is out here and not inside the house, where it’s warm? To which the mom replied that it would melt, if it was inside…well, uh, not this one, as it’s a decoration made out of wood.

And like, yeah, these are some tough questions.
Do you just explain to a toddler that humans put up decorations, which don’t always make infinite sense?

No problem. :)

I feel like most of the layoffs and the flooded market happened in the US. Judging by the name, bleistift is from the EU…

Nah, FOSS stands for “free and open-source software”. There was a time before paid software was a thing, so the “free” there stands for freedom.

In a lot of ways, it means the same as open-source (access to source code and allowed to modify+redistribute it), but it’s more idealistic and political, looking to prevent software from restricting what users can do.

In principle, I agree, but I feel like part of that is just AAA vs. indie.

AAA games need to provide lots of lukewarm content, because many more casual players will buy them and expect much bang for their buck + haven’t seen this lukewarm content a million times already.

On the other hand, indies will basically only be bought by people more enthusiastic about the hobby. As such, they have to pick out one or two aspects and excel at them, so that it’s something new for that crowd.

Hello Games was indie and unknown at the time, so likely only attracted that gaming enthusiast crowd, which would have been more easily bored by the extremely lukewarm content in Starfield.

It took maybe 10 minutes or so for a 256 GB hard drive for me, if I remember correctly.

That was an SSD, though, so yeah, mileage would definitely vary on an HDD.

Hmm, what does that full format do? Write zeros over everything?

Personally, I would run shred on the root filesystem. It’s a tool specifically intended for properly deleting data (overwrites it with random data multiple times).

I thought, this was going to be about DoomRL, which is a different take on that: https://drl.chaosforge.org/screenshots

This is a bit of me-thing, but yeah, I’m annoyed that YouTube is the way it is. It’s non-trivial to embed videos from there without violating the GDPR, so embedded videos are basically not a thing these days on general-purpose social media.

And personally, I also want to avoid the tracking from clicking through to a YouTube video and Google encourages long-ass videos, so I always hesitate before clicking through. Also, people without ad blockers go through a completely different circle of hell before a video starts.

Basically, I miss the days when memes could just be short videos. Where everyone could see on the embed that, oh, it’s a 30 second video, I can watch that. And then they’d just click play, without leaving the page.

I do understand that likely no one would care to provide the bandwidth for dumb meme videos on PeerTube either. But yeah, I just dream of that being a thing.

I’m not exactly fond of the space either, but man, the T is noisy. They could’ve gone with an underscore or something, so it actually looks like two different sections.

Well, typically, being married for 60 years would also involve not dying for the past 70+ years…
