Not everything has to do with Epstein, you know.

Israel saw this as an opportunity to kill parts of the Iranian leadership and couldn’t resist. The US just joined in so Trump could win another FIFA peace price.

I feel dumb, what’s the difference?

But you don’t really know. You can also explicitly tell it which coding standards to follow and it still won’t.

That’s the problem with LLMs in general, isn’t it? It may give you the perfect answer. It may also give you the perfect sounding answer while being terribly incorrect. Often, the only way to notice is if you knew the answer in the first place.

They can maybe be used to get a first draft for an E-Mail you don’t know how to start. Or to write a “funny” poem for the retirement party of Christine from Accounting that makes cringe to death on the spot. Yet people treat them like this hyper competent all-knowing assistant. It’s maddening.

Ugh, in the guitar community there’s this myth that the wood type, body shape etc. of an electric guitar influences the sound. If it does, it’s immeasurably small. It’s almost entirely about the pickup circuitry and string position relative to the pickups.

Alternatively: VVurst

Kartoffeln is just short for Kartoffelnachtschattengewächs, so it doesn’t really count.

Make it symbolically high like 10 million dollars. Make sure everybody understands that nobody they know will ever be affected by the cap and even if, they’d still be filthy rich

Fun fact: Einwohnermeldeamt is the shortest German word beside “Ja”, “Nein” and “Wadenbeinfraktur”

Our (privatized) mail service offers an identification process to third parties where you either walk into a post office with your physical ID card or you make a video call with a call center and show it to them. I don’t think they transmit any more data than “over 18 yes/no”. So while data hording might often be the reason, I don’t think it’s the only one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah that was the language barrier speaking. ID of course. You know you can get a new card at your local Einwohnermeldeamt (for a fee)?

It’s called AusweisApp:

The German passport ID card (and I’m sure many others) has a NFC chip in it and you can use it with an open source app to securely prove your identity online. In cases like this, the only information pulled from your ID would be “over 18” or “not over 18”.

It’s one of the few things my government did right in the digital space. And yet almost nobody in the private sector uses this. I’m tired of being asked to upload a photo of my ID for age verification.

Yes I do. I want an actual smart TV with a practical, open source, TV-optimitzed Linux OS. It’s not that software on a TV is a bad idea in itself. It’s how it’s ruined by for-profit companies.

If he was so concerned about safety and Russian or Chinese attacks, he could just… you know… reinforce the Greenlandic NATO bases. They’re literally allies. I’m so sick of this clown show.

Why would I want a x86 machine if all I need runs so well on my Pi and uses like under 5 Watts?

Nobody knows if this company will be around in a year. The watches will continue to be usable and versatile. The ring won’t.

I don’t save tabs between sessions because of my ADHD. Otherwise I’d drown in them. This way I’m forced to use bookmarks for things I really need and the useless clutter gets removed once I close my browser.

Those contribute to Linux, but not Desktop Linux and not at all gaming on Linux.

“There’s a lot of tiny magnets inside” is no explanation at all!
