>Yeah, but what happens if lose my file locations? >No problem, the locations are just metadata! Your files are still there, sitting in π - they're never going away, are they?

Apart from weather, a big issue outside the USA is also car infrastructure. The US is extremely car centric with large, straight, easy-to-maneuver roads everywhere. Here in Germany…

The first few are single family villas, the last four are multi family housing complexes. For some reason, people in Europe back in the 60s believed that creating dense housing onl…

Love this. Posting to see what I got.

Are you saying that it's more likely API key requirements appear at some point than the interface changing? I'm not that informed, but intuitively, I'd doubt that.

You're right. It's a societal, imagined instability. In the US, if you lose your job, you're "between jobs". In Germany, you're "arbeitslos" (jobless), which some people use as an …

I once heard that Americans motivate themselves positively: If I manage to finish this work today, great things will happen! ... while Germans motivate themselves negatively: If I …

"Daaad, are you complaining about me on the Internet again?!" ;)

Haha, I had an addiction phase as well. It drives me crazy how the beginning is hard, then it gets very easy, and suddenly, you lose.

Just because many privately owned apps are bad, does not mean the concept of apps is bad. If the government in theory can offer a "secure" open source channel for me to do my busin…

Loved it! The fun parts of breakout (getting shots trapped behind blocks) without the stressful controls! It's really hard, though. I only survive like 5 shots. If theres a wall of…

>At the extreme, if it is bad enough, they can start their own. That is not a realistic proposition, either. People are as forced to use private services as they are forced to use …

Honestly? It's little more than the better pay for me. I'm generally a conscious person with politics based on empathy and equality, and I have the same thoughts you have, but I ha…

You take taxes away from other countries where the profits would be distributed - and where the actual companies operate.

When I read posts like this I'm reminded I actually studied computer engineering, not computer science ;)

Wait, so you're saying that people would crash into you if you drove the speed limit? I'm a very calm driver and regularly drive at or sometimes below the speed limit if visibility…

We are not the same

People are rightly skepctical if the same group of doctors continues to publish studies that support their opinion, while all other studies contradict their results.

Well, they received 350k dollars in donations in 2020 alone. I've also heard that they offer "consulting" to governments, such as in Brazil or India. Both used Ivermectin in their …

Man, aren't people tired of reposting the same things? This was only shown in a petri dish at very high concentrations. You could say the same about a number of chemicals which we …

Same for me. It produces some glare for me and I use dark mode almost everywhere. I also don't like the huge font. Looks almost what I'd expect an h2 to look like.

I'm not using Apple ear phones, but wireless head phones are seriously practical. Anytime I have to use my corded ones when walking the dog I get reminded of how they are actually …

I know half a dozen people who say the same. I wouldn't give this too much importance. The flu feels very similar to Covid. When I had Covid, I thought I had a normal cold with all…

On Windows, everything requires a third party app. It's insane. I wanted to convert XML to JSON. Well: Tough luck. Go download some app by some person from the store. We are sure i…
