  • A Nigerian woman reviewed some tomato puree online. Now she faces jail

  • Hahaha wow! That's your comment about this? Incredible!!!

    Sure, if someone writes something on the internet that some business owner somewhere doesn't like, lets just torture them. Makes total sense!

    In case you are actually this dumb: Her comment was a so called hyperbole. People like using these, often for humor reasons, especially on the internet and sometimes they are used to clarify something that's actually subtle. Nobody reading that comment actually thinks that she seriously means people would get killed by that stuff. And if they would, she should still be allowed to express what she thinks on the internet.

  • Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

  • Interesting! What's better about owncloud?

  • I'd say at 1000 lines it usually makes sense to extract some parts into other files. But sure, I guess most obscurities have positive aspects. On the other hand, nothing is stopping you from writing a separate file with only function signatures next to your python scripts. It's just not required, because why would it ;)

    Real-world CO2 emissions of cars are 20% higher than indicated. For plug-in hybrids they are 250% higher.

    Jump

  • In germany we had subsidies for hybrid company cars, so companies bought hybrids. But: If employees would charge these in their home garage, they would pay for the electricity. If they get gas, the company pays. So they are practically just regular cars with a ton (probably literally) of extra weight. Unfortunately there's barely a single law related to cars in germany that makes any sense (apart from just randomly gifting tax payer money to car companies). It's like gun laws in the US. The area-wide corruption is immense.

  • The stone-age called, they want their languages that need header files back!

    Ferrari's first electric car will literally roar, CEO promises

    Jump

  • And there you have it! The absolutely most pathetic kind of fragile masculinity. When adults are stuck in the "car makes wroom wroon"-age and are dumb enough to believe others would admire them for that behavior.

  • Longtime Arch user, first time Debian enjoyer

    Jump

  • I can recommend debian testing. I'm using it on laptop and desktop for several years, always running "apt update && apt full-upgrade && apt --purge autoremove" and it never broke. It's not officially a "rolling release" but practically it is.

  • Household management - what are you using if anything?

    Jump

  • I recently tried selfhosted grocy. It's really amazing, but in the end does seem over the top for us, so we went back to intuition and communication based "household management" ;)

  • Mozilla Announces Layoffs, Renews Focus on Firefox

    Jump

  • Obviously not. Building a modern browser engine from scratch is an immense undertaking, so it's definitely possible that it will never be usable as a replacement for every day webbrowsing. But for now I won't give up hope :)

  • Mozilla Announces Layoffs, Renews Focus on Firefox

  • "trustworthy AI"

    Why? Why can't we have even a single decent browser? Servo is my last hope.

  • It's not DNS

    Jump

  • Nope, it uses a protocol on top of UDP called QUIC. If you count underlying protocols further down the stack, obviously all of them are really old.

  • It's not DNS

    Jump

  • Some ancient protocols get replaced gradually though. Look at http3 not using TCP anymore. I mean at least it's something.

  • FLOSS communities right now

  • FCK DSCRD!

    (They should use lemmy instead :-P)

  • LMDE just rocks

    Jump

  • It's not a rolling release though, right? I mean mint is nice, but I am absolutely pleased with my experience using debian testing as daily driver for years while it just stays perfectly up to date and never breaks (as opposed to arch or even manjaro).

  • What would you change about your favorite Linux distribution?

    Jump

  • Debian (testing branch): Add normal firefox to the repo. Firefox ESR is total bullshit that makes zero sense to use. I always install it either as flatpak or from the unstable repos using apt-pinning (which works great though!)

  • Which OS do you use for your homeserver?

  • This is the way!

    why type lot letter when few do trick

    Jump

  • I also think it's more descriptive. Just like blocklist and allowlist.

  • Obscure button tier list

    Jump

  • Hey! Don't remove the context menu key, I use that! The alternatives are 1. using the mouse (no!) and 2. Alt+F10 which is awkward.

  • Everything I need is still in in the old settings windows that haven't changed in 23 years

  • Seriously, the speed in which windows is getting worse since after win 7 is almost comical.
