Ah, nun, das Büro habe ich nie gesehen 😅

Als ob ich das nach all den Jahren noch wüsste, vor allem war ich selbst nicht mal dabei, weiß das nur vom Hörensagen.

Ein Mitschüler hatte mal in einer Klassenarbeit einen Tischgrill angeschmissen… Soviel zu “Sicherheit”

“History is written by the victors.” - what I immediately thought of.

Pseudo-Shrink: “Just reimagine yourself! Be what you need to be! Rebrand yourself as a bishop, then you’ll be happy :-)”

Ich kann an der Stelle zumindest teilweise relaten:

Ich war in einer Verteilerliste drin, die einem die Möglichkeit gibt, eine tägliche Zusammenfassung statt lauter einzelner Mails zu erhalten. Aber mein Mail-Client hat dann wohl die Mail für zu lang befunden und nur einen Teil davon angezeigt und den Rest abgeschnitten (vielleicht als Spam-Schutz oder so, keine Ahnung). Man hatte aber auch einen sehr offensichtlichen Button, um sich die komplette Mail anzeigen zu lassen. Vielleicht hat ihr Mail-Client ja etwas ähnliches gemacht und dort war der Button dann nicht so offensichtlich?

True, but at that point, every website I’ll ever visit and have visited in the past might be a threat, so that doesn’t really matter too much to me.

I’ve got several hits, but none of them have permission to request my location. If I understand the README correctly, that should mean I’m safe, right?

Huh, really? I thought there were slightly more women than men, but maybe that depends on the economies etc.

As for your second point, yes, exactly. They don’t reproduce. So it doesn’t matter if many men get one wife each, or if a few men get many wives each, the number of pregnancies won’t change, and the number of pregnancy-related deaths won’t change either. So (again), I don’t see how polygyny helps in this situation.

Edit: This first point was wrong, but the second point still stands.

Polygyny wouldn’t solve the aforementioned problem if we suppose that the birth rate of men and women is roughly the same. If one man has many wives, some of whom even die, then several other men won’t have any wives.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already don’t use Google for actual navigation, just for rough estimations. I’m quite happy with OsmDroid.

Mine’s a bit closer to your proportions, although I’m not sure if Google can accurately predict the effects climbing a steep hill up and down will have on cycling and walking. The weird thing is the public transport. It must not know about all available lines, because that should be more like 90 minutes.

Hardly a surprise, since Windows 10 didn’t need new hardware to run. You could install it on anything.

Well, what problems are you trying to solve by having the classes all access each other’s data members? Why is that necessary?

Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if screenshots are disabled in that app considering the rest, to “stop leaking sensitive information”.

Not only is that headline’s grammar exceptional(ly bad), for a moment I thought the developer of Control was named Alan Wake. Like, how did they manage to butcher that so badly?

There are pros to this:

If the person you blocked can’t see your posts, they can intuit that you’ve blocked them. Then, they might try and find you on other social media to harass you even further, or shift targets to someone else.

If they can see your posts, they have no idea they’ve been blocked, similar to Reddit’s shadow bans. This might make them think you’re just annoyed or rarely look at your DMs, making them invest even more time to uselessly try to contact you.

Of course, I can see the other side too, that you don’t want them to know about any (new) posts you’ve made; but it isn’t as one-sided as you seem to think it is.

Because you don’t need to have significant experience or rent a VPS in order to do that, and I can respect that. We don’t need to force FOSS developers to become proficient in everything.

What needs to happen is some kind of tool (ideally FOSS) that lets you spin up an actual forum with the same difficulty to set it up as Discord.

Huh, TIL.

Regarding your edit, that amount wasn’t the cumulated cost of whatever Limewire were distributing, that would be idiotic indeed; rather the RIAA tried to call for a ruling that somehow those guys were causing $150,000 in damages - per instance. Now the article unfortunately doesn’t state how they possibly tried to justify that number, and I can’t be bothered to research that myself. Another thing that would interest me is how the plaintiff expected them to pay with almost every dollar on Earth.

So while I don’t think this had anything to do with “lost sales”, I do agree with the possible fines and damage calculations not being fit for any sort of realistic purpose at all.

Because I didn’t know absurdism, I read the second one differently at first:

[The] nothing matters.

And I immediately had to think of this gem:

“But it doesn’t do anything!” - “No, it does nothing.”
