It's a weird business where everyone is offering an environmentally unsupportable service at below cost, hoping to outlive the competition.

Market share of a negative profit market.

They should offer them a Music Dance Experience with Defiant Jazz.

There's a big difference between moral and morale.

Diese Zeitung ist ein Organ der Niedertracht. Es ist falsch, sie zu lesen. Jemand, der zu dieser Zeitung beiträgt, ist gesellschaftlich absolut inakzeptabel. Es wäre verfehlt, zu einem ihrer Redakteure freundlich oder auch nur höflich zu sein. Man muss so unfreundlich zu ihnen sein, wie es das Gesetz gerade noch zulässt. Es sind schlechte Menschen, die Falsches tun.

[This newspaper is an organ of malice. It is wrong to read it. Anyone who contributes to this newspaper is socially absolutely unacceptable. It would be a mistake to be friendly or even polite to one of its editors. One must be as unfriendly to them as the law allows. They are bad people doing wrong things.]

Is there any info on the artist, or did it get stripped out of the comic by beep?

In French, you count from 69 to 72 like "sixty-nine, sixty-ten, sixty-eleven, sixty-twelve". Then from 79 to 81 it goes "sixty-nineteen, four twenties, four twenties and one". Then from 89 to 91 it goes "four twenties and nine, four twenties and ten, four twenties and eleven".

It's not consistently vigesimal, though. Twenty is "vingt"*, thirty is "trente", forty is "quarante", fifty is "cinquante" and sixty is "soixante" - so far all normal. The only ones where they go all vigesimal on us are 70 (soixante-dix), 80 (quatre-vingts) and 90 (quatre-vingt-dix).

*etymologically "two-tens", if you go back beyond Latin: it's from Proto-Indo-European *dwi(h₁)dḱm̥ti

Yes, Israel is America’s ally and this is Israel’s war. The choice would be between letting Israel get absolutely destroyed which would have unironically happened by now if there weren’t 3 carrier groups trying to intercept missiles and drones, or going to war with Iran.

No. Previously when Israel has said "We're going up against Iran next week, join us or it'll be a shitshow", the US has had the sense to say "No deal", and Israel folded. But somehow the "Art of the deal" president doesn't get this, so went all-in with Israel. Dumb as a rock.

Do you believe that ICE would have invaded cities all over the country, illegally capturing minorities and murdering two people?

It’d be way more than two, and it would be less invasion and more silent takeover based on how Biden and Obama used ICE to terrorize cities for decades.

You think that under Harris, more immigrants would have gotten murdered than during the massive ICE push, where they hired thousands of ill-qualified goons, hardly trained them, and let them loose on the population? That's bizarre.

I loved Redmi last time I bought one, but now they've basically made it impossible to root or mod their devices. So I bought a used Pixel and donated my newish Redmi to my GF.

What the article should have gone into in more detail is that this is utter nonsense, and that there are plenty of population groups across the world that are facing actual persecution, but of course that's of no interest at all to the MAGA crowd.

Should've *gone

 

Up until the early 2000s I used to compile my own kernel, carefully selecting only the options that I needed.

Then I realised that I wasn't saving memory, because almost everything was a module anyway.

Is there any actual benefit to using a custom kernel on consumer hardware that's supported by the stock kernels?

I started using Linux at university, and my first distro at home was SuSE in 1997, because my father got the CDs at work. Then I ran RedHat for a while, because that's what my friends were running, then Mandrake, then Knoppix, then Debian. Loved Debian and AfterStep.

About 10 years ago I moved to Ubuntu because I had a hardware issue that was solved in Ubuntu but was a pain to fix in Debian. I liked that as well.

But this year I bought a second-hand ThinkPad T490, and it was randomly locking up (mouse still moves but nothing else responds). Googling and trying to troubleshoot by looking through logs wasn't working, and I'm pretty sure it's not a pure hardware issue, because I've got it as a dual boot system because my girlfriend's son uses windows on it, and hasn't had any issues.

So yesterday, I decided to back up my home directory and install Debian Forky. It feels like coming home. And so far, no lock-ups...

 

Ich habe heute, trotz "keine Werbung" Schild, AfD Werbung in meinem Briefkasten gefunden.

Ich habe folgende E-Mail am Ortsverband geschrieben:

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich habe heute in meinem Briefkasten Wahlwerbung Ihrer Partei vorgefunden. Zu welchem genauen Zeitpunkt diese eingeworfen wurde, kann ich nicht feststellen.

An meinem Briefkasten befindet sich gut sichtbar ein eindeutiger Hinweis „Keine Werbung“. Dieser untersagt ausdrücklich den Einwurf sämtlicher unadressierter Werbesendungen, wozu auch parteipolitische Wahlwerbung zählt.

Der dennoch erfolgte Einwurf stellt eine unzulässige Belästigung sowie einen Eingriff in mein Besitzrecht dar.

Ich fordere Sie hiermit auf, es künftig zu unterlassen, Wahlwerbung oder sonstige unadressierte Sendungen in meinen Briefkasten einzuwerfen oder einwerfen zu lassen.

Für den Fall einer erneuten Zuwiderhandlung behalte ich mir ausdrücklich rechtliche Schritte vor, insbesondere die Geltendmachung eines Unterlassungsanspruchs.

Bitte bestätigen Sie mir schriftlich, dass Sie diese E-Mail erhalten haben.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Was meint ihr? Wird das helfen? Ist es juristisch sauber?

 

I got this mint rOtring sec-o-mat set in a mixed lot of drawing equipment on eBay. I find the Isograph pens really elegant, but personally I only use Micronorm/Variant pens for my drawings, so I've decided to sell this on. Because these sets are quite rare, and because a new Isograph costs over €20, I figured a starting auction price of €140 seemed more than fair. If I'm lucky, this one will almost pay for the whole lot that I bought. Wish me luck!

 

I got this as part of an eBay lot of drawing/drafting equipment. It looks like a cutting board but it has a hard insert (feels like a very hard plastic).

 

If you open the timer app on a Xiaomi phone, you can click on a recent time to set the timer. Here I click on "19:00" and get 13 minutes. Why? Because if you click "go" before their gee-whiz animation is finished, you get whatever time happened to be on the dial at the time you pressed the button. Like, all they had to do was just have the button set the timer. And God forbid you just want to type a number. Nope. You have to spin a dial. It's literally easier to do this right, but they chose to make it suck because it has to look cool.

 

Wir haben das als Weihnachtsgeschenk gekauft (war ungefähr die 35€ wert die es kostete), aber wenn es ein Elektronenmikroskop wäre, wäre das echt der Knaller!
