Gefühlt handelt jeder zweite Pfosten von GNU/Linux… mir gefällt’s!

“[…] den Scheiß noch billiger zu produzieren und für mehr Geld an den dämlichen Kunden zu verkaufen.”

Ich habe das mal für dich korrigiert, gern geschehen!

At least they show you their requirements. Usually I use passwords with up to 150 characters (including special ones). Getting a vague response like “Password is invalid” is so annoying. I then have to remove special characters and reduce the length step by step until it is accepted by the website. (But 20 characters is way too short, resulting in these hilarious other requirements. You just want to create an account, without having to do a PhD in creating passwords first.)

They are creating more and more idiots out there. The trend of “Help, our students don’t understand xyz, let’s stop teaching that immediately!” is disgusting. Maybe think of teaching it in a different way or just spending more time on that topic?

I don’t think this precision is necessary. We have an analog clock in our living room, and I often quickly glance at it to get a feeling for time. I don’t care if it is 11:35 or 11:36, I just think “Oh, it’s half past eleven”. At a train station, when seconds count, analog clocks are a dumb idea. However, then I also have my (digital) watch.

The biggest problem I have with this announcement is: where is the evidence? There are a lot of (quite serious and concerning) reasons given as to why the developer is being banned, but nowhere is there a link to emails or comments that back up these accusations. This makes it very difficult to decide who to believe.

And each version of Metafont gets an additional digit of e (currently at 2.71828182).

Und zusätzlich tldr. Gerade bei ffmpeg ist das Gold wert.

Passkeys are basically FIDO2.

FIDO2 wasn’t really adopted, so now they are marketing it under a new name (while also allowing more liberal ways of storing the keys, no “normal” user would keep a FIDO2 stick with them all the time). So, you can still use your FIDO2 stick (as long as it is not too old I guess) or a password manager like KeePassXC. No need to switch to the Apple/Google/Microsoft stuff.

Closure! (I don’t think so, not many programmers like reading/writing functional code. But it is his current favorite language, so, who knows?)

I am also a big fan of his books, especially Clean Code. His (far-)right opinions are bad, but should be (to some extent) viewed separately from his technical standpoints. However, even then a new edition would not perform well, there are too many people hating Clean Code (without really understanding its message/just ranting without having read it). But I was very surprised that ThePrimeagen recently interviewed his “opponent”, it was very nice to watch.

I have already contributed two smaller fixes to Piped, I might look into that as well.

As others have already said that, this is caused by Google/YouTube, not Piped. (They should make that more obvious.) Try another instance (Preferences -> Instance) until it works. The official kavin.rocks/kavin.rocks (libre) seem to be blocked by YouTube more often than other instances. The smaller the instance, the better (probably).

Privacy is not the point of OP’s question. A good answer would’ve been saying there is no WhatsApp client for Linux, and then (optionally) explaining that Signal has a desktop client and is a also privacy-respecting choice. Insulting OP by stating “You should not use this or that” is such a StackOverflow thing and helps nobody.

Edit: Just to make sure: I’ve never used WhatsApp and never will use it.

Solange du kein OLED-Display (sondern LCD) besitzt, benötigt ein schwarzes Pixel praktisch genauso viel Strom wie ein weißes. Nachdem du aber den Lightmode nur mit 15 % Helligkeit verwendest, hält dein Akku damit womöglich länger.

Danke für das tolle Argument! Ich gebe zwar meist auch Trinkgeld, aber dass ja im Hintergrund jemand anderes das Essen kocht und vom Trinkgeld wahrscheinlich nichts bekommt… darauf hätte ich auch selbst kommen können. 😅

Die Boni gab es schon im Dezember 2023, bis Juli 2024 haben sie mehr als zwei Milliarden Euro Verlust gemacht. Und jetzt wollen auch noch 30 000 Stellen streichen…

Thank you so much for your suggestions! I guess I have to make an exception to my “free software only” policy when it comes to games (with the exception of Gamma). =D

Just leave it at OpenSUSE and fight for the name. We should not truckle to such a company.

HeLlOoOoO, wHaT nOw? It’S a Do Or DiE sItUaTiOn, HuRrY!
