Unrelated, but I just had a good laugh:

EU anti-fraud investigators (OLAF)

Germany's current chancellor Olaf Scholz has been involved in the two biggest financial frauds in recent years. Cum Ex and Wirecard.

Except that's what China has been doing for years. Non-Chinese companies have to work with local companies if they want to enter the Chinese market.

What's so funny about that? Dude might work in a security environment ripe with NDAs.

Same reason as to why corporate big wigs want to stick with Microsoft: Ease of use.

Imho no. Apparently (I have not dealt with South Korean politics before this) he was quite unpopular to beginn with. Blatantly disregarding the elected parlament would have destroyed any resemblance of a "lawful" takeover and might have provoked protest from all parts of society.

Also afaik saying he lifted martial law after the assembly vote is wrong in the sense that martial law was lifted by the assembly already. Pressing on would have put him in breach of the constitution. Of course he probably couldn't care less but keeping the appearance of still being a democracy is import. Most autocracy's nowadays work this way. People get to choose but the guy on top gets to pick the options.

No, you are not. People regularly equate Git and GitHub, though.

Always the same play book: "It will kill the industry!"

And in the end nothing major changes except some numbers on a sheet.

Sometimes I wonder why these important cables appear to be laid all over the place.

The image is from Germany, where in July a farmer dug up part of his field, apparently unaware that a major connection cable was just 60 cm below the ground.

Get away from that cable with your hot end!

"Sir, we found the culprit!"

There is an ever so slight difference between the appeal of jumping off a building, slitting your wrists, overdosing on some self-made drug cocktail, ... and having a professional inject you a syringe of carefully dosed substances which will make you comfortable drift off into the eternal void. Not just for the patient, but also everyone around them. In the past, I had to comfort a friend who was severely traumatised after a patient of hers jumped out of the hospital's window after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis.

Sounds good to me.

Had another job where my task was to maintain Perl scripts from the 90s. The company was crap, though, so I only stayed for half a year.

Bold of you to assume I don't hate PHP already.

PHP Developer here: Give me your worst!

That's not what was written:

• What are flaws of allowing anyone to euthanize themselves?
• People might feel pressured to kill themselves.
• And what is wrong with that?

That is exactly the opposite of giving people the option to choose. It's pushing them into a given direction.

And just for the record: I watched my Great grandma wither away in a senior home while asking to be let go. I would have gladly given her peace if it was legal. But it has to be the person's own choice. Free from others influence and pressure.

You shouldn't draw conclusions about others from yourself.

Some people might still value what they have. And who are you to tell another what others should do with their live?

Overall yes, but that pressure might be magnitudes greater when there is "an easy way out".

The sick and elderly may feel pressure to not be a burden to others.

As usual with authoritarians: Always accuse the other side of what you do yourself.

Probably some follower of the rectangle who refuse to acknowledge that hexagon is bestagon.
