is it still owned by tencent?

why not have a single global timezone and people change their local numbers.

e.g. if you life in hawaii you stand up at 11pm and if people in russia work until 8am.

People behind ISO 216 thought of everyting

how to make a good standard:

step 1: copy from DIN

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216#History

because of two bodies can not occupy the same space, the feather and the ball will be in different position when you drop them. And therefor gravitation will pull the earth slightly more toward the ball and slightly less toward the feather.

I like the explanation that devious spirits cannot say this phrase and that’s why it’s used

Evil spirits can not say the same word twice in a row. Foxes can not say “moshi”. With “moshi moshi” you get a 2-for-1 special.

so… it turns into a VRMMORPG fantasy Isekai?

es gibt instanzen, die ganz gut funktionieren

Beim Bau neuer Wohngebäude in der EU soll die Errichtung von Photovoltaikanlagen verpflichtend sein.

“Verpflichtend” im sinne von “Das Haus wird abgerissen, wenn man das nicht macht”, oder im sinne von “Man bekommt weniger Fördergeld wenn man das nicht macht (wodurch der Bau vielleicht unwirtschaftlich wird)”

Die meisten “Ökonomen”, die man so im Fernsehen sieht, sind Lobbyisten aus Neoliberalen Echokammern. (Die Anstalt berichtet https://www.claus-von-wagner.de/tv/anstalt/20171107-neoliberalismus )

Es gibt echte Ökonomen (also tatsächliche Wissenschaftler, die wissen wovon sie reden), wie z.B. den hier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pzOAvZaM3M

how does it compare to yt-dlp?

Most Adobe tools don’t have any good free alternatives even for home use.

inkscape is on a level with illustrator (maybe even better)

for drawing: try krita

if you want to pay money (much much less than for adobe): Affinity is on a level with fotoshop

is this a jojo reference?

the goldberg-steamcrack supports multiplayer. https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator

I only tested it in lan, and it works great. Not sure if it works online, too. You may need hamachi.

And of course: online multiplayer with randos is probably not worth it, as others have pointed out. On one hands it’s probably a bitch to set up. On the other cheating is probably rampant.

But only temporarily

but is it?

I thought the temporal improvement would be for everyone who already used the high way (because they will get to their destination a little bit faster). And for the few extra people, who start to use the highway but didn’t use it before, the improvment will stay.

When you add a new lane to a road, people think that the traffic will be easier there, so they take that route instead of their normal one

so for these people the new lane will create marginal improvement, right?

The Ad sponsored web model is not viable forever.

a thousand times this

we’ll probably get a win 12 that is less good than win 10, but better than win 11,

I wouldn’t count on it. MS is moving away from selling desktop-stuff and towards selling cloud stuff (think azure and office356) and consulting. That’s why they changed their attitude towards linux (think wsl and c# for linux) and open-source (think github). MS wants companies to use open-source tools (preferably written in c#) and deploy them to azure with the help of MS-consultants.

Enshittifying windows is a step in that direction. For example: The more people have a MS-Account, the easier it is to sell office356. That’s why they pressure windows-user into making MS-Accounts.

MS knows that desktop is dying.

most recently I had this with energy-settings, before that with network-settings, and before that with some language settings.

I’ve not actually had this problem …(aside from [when I had this problem])

lol

talking to clients

you want him to define features and deadlines?

the last time I had to set up a windows-system, I just said fuck-it and bought a key for 2€ from on of these shady key-sides.
