  • The thumbnail did not load and I thought photodegradation ball was the object described in the second question on the xkcd's What If? Short Answers page:

    What if you shined a flashlight (or a laser) into a sphere made of one-way mirror glass?

  • Sure but you're not getting electrons or the resulting "powerful" antioxidation from a "grounding effect". Unless you were previously charged with a positive electrostatic potential, I guess.

  • Fucking Fr*nch language polluting so many beautiful countries. The entirety of NATO too.


    If the summit is hosted in London, why write "Londres" too? We wouldn't write "Paris/Paříž" just because one idiotic language has a different spelling. Some are even more stupid, such as "Venezia/Benátky". And yes, I'm bashing on my own language but we are not nearly as entitled.

  • Too bad they won't sell restaurants KOFO, the syrup they mix with water and CO₂ to make Kofola, so they could efficiently transport it to the tap. Yes, the country is small so it's not much of a deal there but there is demand in Czech communities elsewhere, such as Banat (Romania) and a couple US towns.

  • one of the most potent antioxidants

    The kind of people believing this will also buy cheap electric "air purifiers" from Temu, which actually just generate ozone, one of the most potent oxidants

  • You can't really replace YouTube's massive library yourself, the best you can do is avoid it but that's hard too. As for the frontend, there is

    • NewPipe/Tubular (Android, also supports Peertube, media.ccc.de, SoundCloud, Bandcamp)
    • Piped (web, very privacy-friendly)
    • Grayjay (Android and desktop, partially open source, support for many services including PeerTube and Odysee, $10 or guilt-tripping infinite free trial)
    • Revanced as mentioned above
  • You're lucky with Gmail. Both my work and school uses Outlook and they ban IMAP, POP3, third-party apps (even those with OAuth2) and also forwarding to another address. So I have to keep another browser or an anonymous window open for one of them, as it takes WAY too long to switch accounts and I'm NOT downloading the official Outlook app.

  • omg

    Jump
  • If you crop the extra white space at the top, this meme has the √2̅:1 (or 2:√2̅) aspect ratio, which I find more pleasing than the "golden ratio", perhaps because I'm so used to A4 paper

  • The command (C:\Windows\System32) OOBE\bypassnro (.cmd) one types into the command prompt (after opening it with Shift+F10) for the bypass is the location of a batch file they will be removing (the parenthesized parts are optional, implied by the command interpreter, and so is any capitalization). You can still do whatever it's doing (adding a registry key and restarting) by typing the command manually or providing a copy of the file on a USB drive. After a restart, the OS will check for the registry key AND lack of internet connection to provide the local account option.

    For the record, the contents of the file are

     batch
        
    @echo off
    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    shutdown /r /t 0
    
      

    The first line is optional, and so is the third if you're OK with restarting manually. If creating the file on Unix-based systems, make sure the newline sequence is CRLF (DOS/Windows standard).

    Obligatory shoutout to literally any Linux distro, which does not need this workaround, and is usually easier to install and set up than debloating a fresh Windows 11 install.
