another obvious example is climate change, where China is way more committed to solving it than the US. the division of the world into good guys and bad guys by a rather arbitrary definition of democracy looks so naive, even stupid. Anthrop

I live in Europe and me and most of my friends (which of course are not representative of the whole population) consider the US a larger threat than China. On the other hand the US is a pretty aggressive country that has been supporting cou

Denns in Germany recently moved to an app. I used to have a physical card but I lost it and they told me they don't print them anymore. I imagine many other are like that.

A muscular person can be "overweight" by BMI standards but not overfat at all. This is the case for many types of athletes, specially in strength disciplines but not only. It is the case in the fitness world that people ignore BMI

Was gonna say the same thing. Also by the standards of the time one could argue that Austria and Germany where kinda the same thing. There's a parallel history where Austria could have ended up being another German Lander. Nationalism

I sympathise with a lot of the negative and pesimistic sentiment shared here and in other comments and been drowning in some of it over the last few months. However I have slowly been having a shift towards a way more optimistic outlook on

It just shows that the whole point of "regulation is bad" blanket statement is an intellectually dishonest argument, as what most people actually mean is "regulations that I don't like are bad". In fact, the whole m

thank you! I'll definitely consider those. one thing that helps me is using OLauncher as replacement from the system "shell" UI. it's on f-droid. and the News Feed Eradicator browser extension. God's send. and of co

I recently bought my first smartphone, just went for a refurbished Pixel 8 with GrapeheneOS. To be honest, life without a smartphone was increasingly becoming a PITA. For example, Ryanair doesn't accept printed tickets anymore. A few c

that's a misleading equivalence because you're also not considering the energy it took to grow the plants that produce that oil millennia ago. perhaps comparing to biodiesel or alike would be better. but even then it underestimate

Almost every every person I've met that describes themselves as empath tends to rank rather low on empathy, under my own judgement at least. One explanation I have for this is that precisely because empathy is a more rare experience fo

As a former user of the Sansa Clip, I recommended the Shanling M0 as a modern alternative (they sell a separate case for the clip if you want that). Great audio quality and features, format and Bluetooth codes support.

Same... I bought a 13 last year, super happy with it but was kind of sad after seeing this release because this new design is just so much better and addresses all the concerns I had with the machine... until I saw this. Fuck I do love thes

I implemented these in C++ a while ago. Arguably some aspects of the concept work even better in C++ as they do in Clojure. https://github.com/arximboldi/zug An interesting application in cursors in Lager: https:&#x2F

They switched me to CGNAT in my last speed upgrade, but I wrote to them about it and they moved me to native v4 straight away. Their service is good on a technical level but they have the most aggressive and obnoxious sales reps. They scamm

I like Github Actions and it is better than what I used before (Travis) and I think it solves an important problem. For OSS projects it's a super valuable free resource. For me what worked wonders was adopting Nix. Make sure you have a
