“Is a $100 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card for a trash collector wrongful?” wrote Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the court’s opinion. “What about a $200 Nike gift card for a county commissioner who voted to fund new school athletic facilities? Could students take their college professor out to Chipotle for an end-of-term celebration?”

In my country government employees (including teachers) can’t legally accept gifts above €10 in value. All of these examples would be illegal here. Sounds petty, but anti-corruption laws are pretty strict for a reason.

From the article: “It is unlikely the Department would ever pursue action against anyone using the Logan Act, given no one has been convicted of violating the 1799 law”

End of story.

Because you said that was not the point of the article and I asked you to clarify why you think it wasn’t. But never mind. This is going nowhere.

Why not? If the starting point of the article is that we can’t design interfaces based on our elitist 5 percenter knowledge then the remedy for that would be…?

I’m using a lepotato for Home Assistant. Works very well for months now, but I’m a bit worried about long term distro support

I wonder why user tests aren’t even mentioned once in the article. If you design an interface you have to test it with your audience

Did you know you can edit your posts? Could be helpful for other readers since you were incorrectly posting in several messages that wine needs root access.

Guter Artikel, ich finde es immer wieder krass wie dreist diese Verpackungen als umweltfreundlich angepriesen werden.

Die Rücknahme von Getränkekartons an bestehenden Pfandrücknahmeautomaten im Handel ist technisch problemlos umsetzbar

Das glaube ich aber erst wenn ich es sehe… Die derzeitigen Pfandrücknahmesysteme sind alle auf Flaschenform ausgelegt, viele haben schon bei Flaschen in perfektem Zustand mit perfekt erhaltenem Etikett Schwierigkeiten, diese zu erkennen. Man darf gespannt sein was zuerst kommt: Selbstfahrende Autos, Flugtaxis oder die automatische Rücknahme von TetraPaks

The video’s title “worst car ever reviewed” was not as balanced though :D

This happened just this morning. Probably not the dumbest thing ever, and I blame Snap for putting things where they don’t belong: I deleted stuff from the /run/user/1000/doc directory. Turns out the files there are in fact hard links to files which actually reside somewhere else. Well, they were, until I deleted them forever.

Background: Firefox (as an Ubuntu snap package) downloads files in some kind of sandbox mode and references stuff there for some obscure reason. That was my weekly reminder to get rid of snap packages because snap sucks in a myriad of ways.

I don’t agree to starting with cheap gear as always being a good choice. If you already know what good coffee tastes like and you like to get into the coffee game then buying a cheap (non burr) grinder is just a waste of money.

Media Corporations should not have a say in disconnecting users from the internet based on copyright infringement. The right to social participation is part of a basic human right - self-determination. Today, the majority of interactions with society involve communication via internet in one way or another, so that access to the internet is vital for enabling social participation.

It’s a little bit worse than that in fact. “Programmiererinnen und Programmierer” or “Programmierer:innen” or “Programmierende”. And if you get it wrong you are not a grammar nazi but more of a regular nazi.

/s just in case

Having a dedicated technical architect who hovers above the dev team handing architectural decisions down is also not always seen as an ideal construct in software development.

Du selbst lieferst hier ein super Beispiel für Alltagsrassismus. Diese Folgerung dass Asiaten Asiaten kennen und daher wahrscheinlicher mit Menschen aus Wuhan oder sonstwo in China Kontakt hatten und es daher sicherer wäre Abstand zu halten ist völlig rassistisch.

Erstens kann der gewöhnliche Deutsche vermutlich nicht mal Koreaner von Japanern von Chinesen auseinander halten was schon mal eine Grundbedingung wäre um da eine Entscheidung zu treffen die eine solche Argumentation vielleicht stützen würde. Und zweitens (und das ist noch viel wichtiger) gibt es extrem viele Menschen in Deutschland mit asiatischem Aussehen die ihre Wurzeln hier haben und keine regelmäßigen physischen Kontakte mit Menschen in Asien haben.

Und drittens ist es klar dass das Virus nicht bei Menschen irgend einer ethnischen Herkunft bleibt. Sobald der erste am Flughafen irgendwen anhustet ist die Katze aus dem Sack und die ganze schöne Theorie eben bloss noch eins: Rassismus

I was wondering if that might be a thing. Saw people talk about “the codes” instead of “code” more than once.

At that point we’re at their mercy.

Or maybe at that point you’ll begin to realize that you might not need all of this stuff, and that happyness comes from other sources. But that is just my personal approach, by all means do whatever you like.
