Actually most of the money are just 1‘s and 0‘s in a computer, coming into existence from nothing and vanishing into nothing. Fiat money backed by "trust". As Henry Ford once said:
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
Finde ich höchst bedenklich, gerade für Anwälte, Journalisten etc. Finde es außerdem krank wie natürliche Personen wider einmal Entitäten zweiter Klasse werden. Unternehmen haben billigeren Strom, sind vor staatlicher Überwachung geschützt, müssen weit weniger steuern zahlen etc. Das ist doch pervers. Was ist nur aus “Wir sind das Volk!” geworden? Unsere Demokratie ist krank, die Idee einer repräsentativen Demokratie in der gewählte Vertreter die Interessen der Wähler vertreten funktioniert offensichtlich nicht.
Man könnte ja der Meinung sein das man das kontrovers diskutieren könnte, die Abwägung zwischen Datenschutz und Privatsphäre auf der einen und die Verfolgung von Straftätern auf der anderen Seite … wenn, ja wenn es nicht so verdammt unsinnig wäre.
Verschlüsselung ist Mathematik, es ist vollkommen trivial einen cipher zu programmieren der dann halt keine eingebaute backdoor hat … die Strafverfolgung fällt damit flach, die Dienste mit backdoors werden ja dann von Straftätern nicht mehr genutzt, der Verlust von Privatsphäre und Datenschutz bleibt aber allen.
Ist für mich ein weiteres Symptom der Dummheit unserer Politiker. Technikverständnis null, die glauben echt das sie die Mathematik kontrollieren können… als Nächstes machen sie der Physik Vorschriften.
Indeed, bitch has some other connotations, some women refer or get referred to as a bitch if they are ill tempered for example. Hure, in German, means one and only one thing. It’s also not exactly a playful way to refer to sex workers and usually not used to refer to them to their face, it’s what only a total asshole would call a heroin addicted sex worker that has lost all self respect and is dead inside to their face.
It’s quite bad, I’m not aware of an equivalent insult in the English language. Son of a whore doesn’t quite cut it as even whore is quite a tame insult as it also gets applied to merely “sluttish” women.
That 40 year old X protocol might be the issue here, use wayland for multi monitor with different resolutions.
Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. It’s pretty much the definition of unfair competition, I mean Apple makes cables and artificially hampers competitors cables unless they pay some money?
Maybe the fines are too low so far if they test us like that.
Must be nice to be rich.
Nope, it doesn’t. It always requires human assistance or random hardware failure. It’s either the user, the distro, package maintainer or upstream fucking up.
Personally I blame half on users for picking the wrong distro(not suited for beginners) and half on the linux community giving poor advice(use the terminal). Not everyone has the time or inclination to become a power user and if people wouldn’t be so thickheaded and recommending the same problematic distros over and over to these people it wouldn’t be such a mess.
I have a 80 year old neighbour whose old windows laptop was a mess and who was open to trying a new OS(because he couldn’t operate windows either anyway). I setup a MicroOS system for him, put a taskbar extension on it and showed him how to install software from gnome-software(which only has flatpaks). ZERO problems in half a year. He doesn’t have to do anything nor learn anything. He happily installed some card games, reads the few websites he follows and that’s it.
Moderating large subreddits is a ton of work, chances are the people willing to do that work are already doing it and will thus either be part of the ones being removed or to busy with their current workload elsewhere. I mean it’s basicly a unpaid volunteer job that doesn’t benefit your resume, doesn’t exactly sound like something people stand in line for.
That’s a lie that got spread by the same companies that tried to convince us that cigarettes ain’t bad for you and fat is the problem instead of sugar regarding obesity.
Climate change isn’t a linear process, it has so called tipping points and if those are reached shit happens. Consumer behaviour on that level doesn’t matter, it’s literally means we reach the tipping points a week later or something.
This misinformation is made for only one purpose: To spread the blame. So the ones truly responsible can later say that we all failed together instead of being held responsible. The reality is that wether we successful combat climate change or not is up to probably a couple hundred people in leading positions in the world.
If you want to see wether we make progress or not just take a look at the oil and coal production, every drop and rock of that eventually ends up in the atmosphere.
You make it sound as if it’s a religion … UNIX isn’t a dogma handed down by an infallible being, just a piece of software that made sense for its time. Todays needs are different than the needs 40 years ago, so ofc things have to change.
