Der muss jetzt den Rest seines Lebens in einem Flughafenterminal verbringen!

Yeah - and they also don't seem to licence the patent. They are not using it, so there is no reason to sit on it.

Hast du jetzt ernsthaft geschrieben, dass du deinen Code nie kommentierst, weil ja eh jeder versteht, was er macht und dass KI blöd ist, weil sie Kommentare hinzufügt? Ich persönlich halte Kommentare im Code für absolut sinnvoll. Die stören nicht, machen nichts kaputt und sind unglaublich hilfreich, wenn man eine fremde Codebasis vorgesetzt bekommt.

The SteamDeck is actually a good writerdeck. Get an external keyboard, some kind of stand and you have a highly portable typing machine

Let's be honest: If Epstein was still alive and in prison, he would get a pardon from Trump

It's amazing how they fumbled this. There was a time when video calls were Skype. Everybody was using Skype, everybody had it installed, people used it to chat and then ... something happened. Microsoft did nothing. Or did the wrong kind of stuff. Software started to suck. And when the pandemic came, Zoom took over and nobody even tried to use Skype. That really, really are some bad business decisions there

Not even the US. Most people there didn't care at all. The religious right whipped itself into a frenzy, started a moral crusade and is now supporting a rapist, adulterer and sexuell harasser

Da ist es wirklich gut, dass die so eine harte Paywall haben, denn dann geistern deren Artikel weniger durch das Internet. Im Endeffekt ist die Zeitung ja komplett tot, keine Ahnung, wer nach solchen Nachrichten sein Abo nicht kündigt und freudig weiter für das Verlautbarungsblatt des Milliardärs zahlt

It's really hard how much damage the far right is doing here. Just imagine Germany (or any other country) as haven for the queer, the others, the artists, the creative, the smart, everyone who doesn't want to live in a dictatorship. If you play that card right, you will become the cultural capital of the world. Or everything becomes desolate as some derelict eastern german town with 50% AfD voters.

Und was machst du dann draus? Einfach Tanz auf dem Vulkan und das Leben genießen bis alles niederbrennt?

The US and Europe printed trillions during covid, and that barely caused a blip in inflation. Inflation only came after supply chains shock and the war. Like do some basic research, if I’m so obviously wrong it will be very easy to see…:

I still remember 2020 and 2022, it's not that long ago. So Covid started to hit the US in spring 2020. And take a look at inflation rates:

Yeah, it took some time, but you really can't deny that there was "barely a blip in inflation" and that it came only after the war started.

Irgendwie wird man ja zum alten Meckerrentner, aber wenn so kackendreist gelogen wird... es ist ja völlig logisch, dass ein Tier nicht klimaneutral sein kann, weil der Anbau des Futters logischerweise CO2 ausstößt. Die Düngerproduktion stößt CO2 aus. Der Bauer fährt mit dem Trecker über das Feld, verbrennt dabei Diesel. Das Futter wird per LKW transportiert. Der Stall wird geheizt. Das Tier wird per LKW zum Schlachthof gefahren. Das zerlegte und verarbeitete Tier wird dann gekühlt zum Supermarkt gefahren, wo es weiter gekühlt wird.

Und dann kommt jemand von der CSU und erzählt "Das Tier ist klimaneutral, weil es Biomasse frisst". Und naja, wenn solche Leute in der Politik auftauchen und so schamlos lügen und damit durchkommen, haben wir schon verloren

But pushing for more renewables can also be a way to stop fascism. Those texan oil barons are funding Trump exactly because they want to keep their business. Putin is funding all those right wing parties because he wants to keep selling gas. And the Saudis, Qataris and other dictators are also not to keen on not selling oil and gas.

I'm sceptical. Even if somebody would present a working fusion reactor today, what would the timeline to replace everything based on fossil fuels even be? Build several thousand of expensive fusion reactors in every country of the world, even in geopolitical rivals like China, Russia or North Korea or war-torn third world countries? Replace every car with an electrical one? Replace home heating everywhere? Rebuild every ship and airplane worldwide?

Seeding is something to help your fellow pirates. You donate your bandwidth to help them get their files. It's totally in character for meta to just leech everything, take stuff, not give back anything and then to run to the bank laughing

Die Original-Birkenstock sind mittlerweile definitiv zu teuer geworden. Die Billigklone machen ihren Job auch wunderbar und ich bin froh, dass die nicht verboten wurden und ich jetzt das zehnfache zahlen muss

They are getting downvoted, because they are obviously wrong. Of course the government is "creating" the money. But it can't just print money and spend it. Countless governments tried it and it always led to hyperinflation - and therefore the budget of course has to come from taxes

For everybody, who hasn't that much of paperwork: I'm kind of doing the same, but without barcode stickers. Just scan the document into paperless and then stick it in a box or a folder. If you need the physical document sometimes in the future (which you won't), paperless of course has the date of the scan / date of the document available. It then it quite easy to take your chronolocical sorted documents and find the one that came in on 2023-04-14

Which is kind of crazy, if you think about it: The federal budget is coming from taxes. So the deal is that Trump is destroying valuable services of federal institutions and only 20% of the "savings" are getting passed on? While normal people will have to pay for stuff like the weather forecast?

That screenshot is so old, it predates the Musk takeover
