You probably haven't, but the reasons why are actually still a bit more complicated.
Having a typical Swiss army knife on you usually isn't a problem. But the afore mentioned designated areas are often found around train stations, especially in larger cities, and a few years ago the law designated vehicles and areas of public transport as such areas per se.
That's one scenario, where you might end up getting in trouble completely unaware.

Again, there are exemptions, that should enable you to take your Swiss army knife on the train and travel with it, without getting in trouble. But the phrasing is pretty wishy washy still. One exemption, for example, allows carrying knives for "generally accepted purposes", whatever that is.

In theory, you should be perfectly fine travelling with a small pocket knife, but no guarantee, that the individual law enforcement officer would accept your purpose of transport and travelling. So you better make sure, you look white and at least middle class enough...

And god forbid, you actually end up in a situation, where you'd have to use said knife in self-defense and hurt someone. You might end up having to defend your purpose of carrying a knife in the first place in court.

Can't tell you how it is in the UK, but here in Germany, you're only allowed to carry knives with short blades (<= 12 cm, IIRC) in public, anything larger than that has to be stowed away safely, so that it cant be reached easily. A locked container would be ideal, but the precise definition is a bit wishy washy, and there are also designated areas, where even the small ones are not allowed (or fall under the same restrictions. I'm not really sure).

Furthermore, there are knives, which are just generally outlawed depending on their construction; like spring-loaded knives and butterfly knives, for example.

If there are at least similar regulations in the UK, the Sikh's ceremonial daggers, could fall into a category that would usually be banned, but with an exemption for religious reasons.

Some of the rules here are a bit silly, imho, but the fact, that we don't treat a small paring knife the same as an army combat knife at least makes sense to me.

Me too. Interest in comuters combined with ADHD leads to interesting side quests sometimes. They might not end up being productive, but I often learn a few things along the way.

I recently had trouble with a very old Canon printer, I acquired. After some attempts that even involved tracking down original driver files from 13 years ago, I realized I just had to install 'gutenprint' and then add it throuoh my KDE menu. Just works now.

There are some cases, were it could be justified. But if you're just trying to be a PITA: Get forked!

I have trouble keeping up a reading habit, but I've read 5/6ths of the Lord Of The Rings over the last year. Just can't seem to find the time/motivation to finish it, although I quite enjoyed it and I expect Tolkien to focus even more on the inner struggle of the ringbearer in the final book. That was the biggest advantage of reading the books thus far, over watching the movies.

Apart from that I've read the German Romantic (as in era) novella "Aus dem Leben eines Taugenichts" by Eichendorff. But despite it checking the boxes for that era and adding to my canon of bourgeois education, it didn't give me much. It was rather shallow lighthearted entertainment.

But I guess you could say I lean towards the classics. I don't know if I'd recommend it, for finding stuff that is actually good. But skimming through modern books in my library, I'm often already put off by their covers.

Lawsuits are always interesting to verify that Libre licenses can actually preserve software freedom.

The case isn't as crystal clear, as you'd expect, in my opinion. Although I see ONLY OFFICE acting against the spirit of the license.

They want me to use a government controlled web based office suite?

It's even a fork of ONLYOFFICE, a Russian developped office suite, might be relevant info for you, if you want baseless paranoia.

It's an open-source codebase, licensed under AGPLv3. That's pretty neat, if you ask me. And being web-based it fills a bit of a different niche, than Libre Office (and I bet it will be pretty compatible). Nobody's gonna stop you from using that, except the same people who would've formerly chained you to MS Office.

Bildschirmschoner und die gibt es auch nicht mehr.

Gibt's schon noch, nutzt halt keiner, weil obsolet.
Aber es hindert dich niemand daran.

Ich vermisse den Mann auf der einsamen Insel aber auch. Der lebte früher u.a. in der Praxis meines Kieferorthopäden.

Steinigt mich, aber ich finde überpünktliche Züge auch nicht immer knorke. Bei einem pünktlichen Zug kann ich im Zug chillen, bei einem überpünktlichen Zug, muss ich länger am gammligen Bahnhof auf meinen Anschluss warten.

I read it as un-ionised and didn't make a lot of sense.
