Most major cities on Germany either use district heating or gas (esp. in eastern Germany). Overall, rounded: 48% natural gas, 25% oil, 14% district heating https://www.bmwi-energie…

That cannot be stressed enough: no stock Android is a pain (at least if coming from there) E.g. more or less bound to their camera app, my automatic sync with Google photos isn't w…

Google is becoming incompetent. It's not only their phones. Currently they fail to fix their speech services for over a month. Doesn't update the language over mobile networks and …

+ they reinstall apps with major updates + the shitshow called Galaxy Store that you mandatory have to visit if you care about security updates always greets me with a dialog that …

Autos rolling?!? That ugliness is intentional? That website doesn't work as a business card...

Thanks, I have another "Sedgewick" and wasn't aware of the repo (not in immediate need of it, but nice anyway!)

Yeah, sadly. But good you say it explicitly and it a fair spin(?) -- I just wanted to point out the IMO damage that license does, not blame the authors/BBC. In Germany it's the sam…

Well intentioned but close to negligible (globally). China has contracts with African countries to build coal powerplants, despite transforming their own energy sector. On a global…

Which costs you more than $100k monthly to operate with the same level of manageability and reliability. We don't use AWS, because our use cases don't require that level of reliabi…

First thing I notice: the license is horrible. Even GNU recommends liberal licenses for snippets with less than 300 lines (and allows for commercial use anyway!): https://www.gnu.o…

What the ELO ratings of established chess players were already suggesting. Sharp decline seldomly happened before 65. Nice to see that rigorously researched.

* I wrote about CO2. * The boiler's flame is visible (through a slit). * The system doesn't have a separate supply stream -- it takes oxygen from the flat. An CO sensor seems oblig…

0 degree what? Fahrenheit, Celsius, horizontal angle?

I like keepassxc. For everybody trying it: avoid the password sharing feature. It's currently hopelessly broken. The last time I had a look it was a known issue that needs major re…

I recently bought one of the best CO_2 meters available here (and had a CO alarm since before that): the low temperature boiler (natural gas, 1991) in our kitchen contributes close…

Piggy bank -- as long as there are coins. Safe -- regarding obsoletion: probably a safe bet compared to a piggy bank (pun intended)

One of FAANG out of ideas? * Change the name of it * Change (brand) color(s) * Modify icon (slightly) and have it as the major news of a release * Do something seemingly stupid to …

Yeah, otherwise HRH will be very disappointed in heaven. Look, Petrus is standing there and only ever to let you in if the rituals were done in order. Otherwise... no luck for you.…

Thank god that they "decided" in 2007 that there isn't a limbus for unbaptised babies anymore.

Ff on mobile with uBlock origin is IMO awesome. I switched angrily to Chrome on mobile ca. 4y ago, but came back ca. 2y to give it a 2nd chance and I'm not missing Chrome.

headscratch I used profiles with Ff for ages... what is the difference to Chrome's?

14°F, a worst-case scenario? WTF? I had to keep shelter in a telephone booth just to survive waiting for a train at -14,8F (-26°C) in Weimar, Germany -- called a taxi. That's a wor…

Uh... my mind read: DHS' misinformation greatest terrorism threat to U.S.

Yeah, and that's a reason to swing swastika flags... Maybe a lot of them are -- rightfully! -- frustrated by the working conditions, that doesn't mean it's all right to side with p…
