  • Fasttrack entry to the EU?

    My Norwegian mother actually is applying for German citizenship. Not for this thing, but so she can vote against the Nazis in the next election.

  • Bummer. Maybe you can get that from some other distro's package and add to the library path.

    But at that point going the Proton route is probably easier.

  • Report it to a local tech site. That's a scandal.

  • Hopefully this will translate to all software. Next step: Stop killing hardware

  • These could have drastically increased the range.

  • There is (was?) an electric power provider in Germany by the name of Yellow. Their whole marketing was "electricity is yellow!"

  • Yeah, I think he walks through at least three walls throughout the episode.

  • Probably. And with the next version Lemmy as well.

  • Maybe. But more importantly, it downloads a new binary.

  • drugs

  • Drugs are good!
    They let you do the things you know you not should!

  • Mine is. Only I have it.

  • GPS and similar systems are just big atomic clocks flying around the earth, shouting their time down to earth. A GPS (or other) device just needs to know the current time and the position of the satellites to calculate its own position.

    The most control the US ever exercised over GPS was to encrypt the more precise parts of the satellite's timestamps so that only military devices could get really precise positions. They stopped doing that when other systems went online. That was for the whole world, including its own citizens.

  • China's system can't be used for spying. It's as passive as GPS. These things are harmless. No amount of control can be enacted through them.

  • Let me guess, it's in the Bluetooth API itself and we need to deprecate all Bluetooth stuff. Again.

  • A sentiment that wants to end democracy has no right to participate in that democracy. Yes, that sentiment has to be fought with ideas as well. But Germany knows too well from history that a democracy can be ended through democratic means. That is why these instruments were implemented in the first place.

  • Maybe still effects of the one-child-policy times. It's probably much easier to punish people for having too many children than it is to incentivise having more.

  • There's a villain in the DC universe who is actually an immortal caveman. But he uses his immortality to learn the languages and customs of the area and era he is in.

  • For a long long time compnies provided dedicated servers to their players. Sometimes included in the game files, sometimes as separate downloads. Often it was just a Linux binary, sometimes both Windows and Linux. Players would then have to enter the IP of their desired server.

    Sometimes a central server would list all the available servers. For the Unreal games that was recently shut down. The community created a new one and patched the games to use it instead of the official one.

    With games like Minecraft or Baldur's Gate 3 the server is even included in the game. If Microsoft and Larian and Steam went away you could still play them that way with minimal fuzz.
