Google is outsourcing their job to you, because you doing it for free is even cheaper than paying some poor fellow in India a dollar a day.

Der Vorfall bestätigt wieder die Vorurteile, die man über die FDP hat:

Aus der Kommission heißt es, […] es sei vielmehr ein erwartbares Manöver der FDP, sich vor den Landtagswahlen in Sachsen, Brandenburg und Thüringen als Vertreter der Dieselfahrer zu positionieren und Vorurteile gegen die EU zu befördern.

Und am Ende des Artikels:

Betroffen sind dann nicht Millionen Autofahrer, sondern die Autokonzerne, die womöglich viele Millionen Euro zahlen müssten. Doch das würde diejenigen treffen, die die Verursacher des Dieselskandals sind, nämlich die Hersteller.

Also kurz vor Wahlen spielt man sich zum Retter der Dieselfahrer auf (die gar nicht bedroht sind), mit der eigentlichen Absicht, die reichen Autokonzerne zu schützen, die bei Abgastests in der Vergangenheit belogen und betrogen haben. Nebenher zerstört man als Kollateralschaden das Vertrauen in die EU, was ja letztendlich Wasser auf die Mühlen rechter Parteien ist. Wer wählt denn eigenlich noch FDP?

Did you just summarized the first episode of Gilmore Girl? 😉

KDE Connect has been mentioned before. You can supplement this and other tools by using a VPN so that both endpoints can see each other even if the underlying network does not allow this. My preferred solutions are Tailscale (managed, cloud-based) or Headscale (for self-hosting).

Those of us who remember ‘Alf’ may wonder if the name is due to taste as well.

Well, you have Finland in the north-east, Ireland in the north-west, and every land border faces a Euro-zone country. Few other countries can claim the latter.

If at all, you want to use Gentoo’s ebuild system, which can be seen as some kind of superset of PKGBUILDs. I guess one could write a Python script that “dumbs down” ebuild scripts to PKGBUILDs for simple packages (excluding complex stuff like kernel, KDE, …). The main challenge, as pointed to before, would be maintaining a table mapping package names between distributions in order to get the dependencies right.

Those would be harvested to train LLMs even without asking first. 😐

What comes to mind:

• Collect trash in nature
• Demonstrate in front of parliaments if politicians are about to make stupid laws
• Demonstrate outside of billionaires’ properties demand that they pay their fair share to society

Yes, one of the factors that contributed to the demise of Windows Mobile was the lack of backwards-compatibility for apps between 7, 8, an 10.

Qt (the one used by KDE) has progressed not only through a number of owners (Trolltech, Digia, Nokia, …), but also licenses such as the QPL to be triple-licensed under GPL, LGPL, and commercial for most of its components.

Mal als Beispiel wie das in anderen Ländern (Schweden) gemacht wird:

Das da ein freundlich-lächelnder Mann in rot steht, ist nur fürs Pressefoto. Normalerweise Selbstbedienung. Der ganze Apparat kan in der Höhe eingestellt werden. Vorne die Fläche ist für eine digitale Unterschrift, die auf die Karte gedruckt wird. Bezahlt wird dann per Bank/Kreditkarte. Alles papierlos.

The “C” in the progress bar is alternating between “c” and “C” to give the impression of munching.

There is some information missing in the problem description. For example, if you close the lid, does the computer suspend/sleep/hibernate? It may be that when the computer sleeps something “breaks” or it may be that the act of physically closing/opening the lid has an effect (e.g. because the WiFi antenna is embedded in the display frame).

Some time ago I had a similar problem with Tailscale and sleeping. When Tailscale initializes itself (at boot), it has to interact with another service to communicate which DNS servers have become available (e.g. 100.100.100.100). Several implementations of such services exist (resolvconf, openresolv), in my case systemd-resolved. During normal operation, resolvectl status (if using systemd-resolved) shows which DNS servers and which search domains are configured for each network interface such as tailscale0. Now, there is a bug (or feature) that systemd-resolved “forgets” the DNS configuration it got from Tailscale when the computer is put to sleep. So, when the computer wakes up, name resolution via Tailscale no longer works, giving you the impression that Tailscale itself is not working, although Tailscale’s low-level functions are still operational. My “solution” was to write a small script that gets executed when the computer wakes up which sets again DNS server and search domain for network device tailscale0.

I recall hearing that already during the classical antiquity the Greeks and later the Roman could have invented steam engines (for reference of their technical skills see the Antikythera mechanism), but the abundance of cheaper slave workers made this economically infeasible.

Die Älteren unter uns werden sich noch an den Wechsel von DM zu € erinnern, als in Restaurants die Währungsymbole ausgetauscht wurden, aber die Beträge gleich blieben.

Gibt es da nicht da nicht die ganzen Rankings von Zeitschriften (Focus, …)? Was Schulen angeht, Bayern vermeiden. Da habe ich schlimmes gehört. Da herrscht (pedagogisch) teilweise der Muff der 1950er Jahre. Gebiete, die von Klimakatastrophe (Dürren, Überschwemmungen, Küste) betroffen sind, meiden. Fahrradfreundlich (flaches Land, Fahrradwege) und/oder guter ÖPNV ist ein Plus.

Do not put people who strive for power into power, and vice versa.
