This will be fun with daylight savings.

Huh? But I can understand it.

This one might be it. No idea, it was so long ago. https://media.ccc.de/v/066_Bluetooth_Hacking

Reminds me of the good old times at the same conference a few years back when the Bluetooth panel ended with everyone in the hall involuntarily having a new screensaver on their phone.

Hope our current car holds out long enough for those buttoned cars to arrive in the used car market.

Probably easier to show how bad thing is if everything else is still kind of ok.

Maybe our cat could get a little more respect in the neighbourhood if she wore that.

The trouble with pictrs is that it sorts pictures into seemingly random folders.

The solution is to not proxy images. Might even be the default by now. That’s a huge resource hog. No idea what pictrs is doing but it’s still taking up a whole lotta space just for my own images.

Canceling all subscriptions would probably make Lemmy use almost no resources.

I run a single user instance and it’s horribly slow. Mostly because I only have HDDs and not enough RAM to compensate. I hope Lemmy 1.0 will increase database performance.

Piefed is supposedly much more performant. But I’m shying away from migrating because I don’t want to lose my post history and uploaded pictures.

Can’t wait to see France and Germany justify that one.

That’s why the cutscenes in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are so great. People interrupt each other, talk over each other, are unsure in what they’re saying. And we got that from a frickin’ video game where the action was recorded before the words with the voice actors never being in the same room together.

Simply amazing. I hope they can keep that level up for the movie.

Hence the saying “A picture is more data than a thousand words.”

I only use online services to order food delivery to avoid the phone calls. And for some restaurants this actually means that an employee of the online service will call and tell them what I ordered.

Now I wonder if these services have a record of the main languages spoken at the restaurants and try to match up agents that speak that language.

I mean, people have been gaming with much less for years. Things like Doom, Commander Keen, ScummVM should run. Can’t remember what the minimum requirements of Quake 3 were but that’s a good candidate for an upper limit.

Yes. Even after conviction they may only name the culprit in exceptional cases. It’s mostly for the victim’s benefit, but even criminals have a right to privacy.

Note, Germany’s current chancellor voted against the law making rape in marriage illegal.

I recently read my German grandma’s memoirs. During the war she signed up to help in Nazi occupied Minsk. Of course for the Nazis “help” meant ensuring the local newspaper printed propaganda. And beforehand they were instructed to be harsh with the “dumb Russians”.

She once got into trouble because one serial story in the newspaper tended towards a revolutionary message. Apparently the translator didn’t care for the story so he stopped reading it and just let it get printed as he received it. At least that was his official excuse.

Anyways, of course she grew closer to some of the locals. And of course not every single one of them could help with sabotaging the occupiers. So it was extra sad when she eventually had to flee from the approaching Russian army (a day after the officers loudly proclaimed at a Nazi party that they were about to win the war) and had to live with the knowledge that the Russian’s she left behind were all likely to be executed as collaborators.

She couldn’t take them with her because the Nazis would likely kill them for being Russian. Or at the very least put them into concentration camps. And she already knew they were bad, just not how bad.
