oddly enough all these things have repeatedly appeared, disappeared, and reappeared in my lifetime, e.g. titlebars on Windows became transparent with Vista, then stopped being so in, I think, Windows 8?

Do speedometers even measure such low speeds with anywhere near that precision?

Hasn’t yet.

Is becoming, yes. There are still plenty of opportunities to stop it provided that the democratic process remains somewhat functional and governments have not gone into “we are the rulers, we decide whatever we want, screw the will of the people” mode yet.

I don’t have the answer on how far on the path toward that aforementioned mode we are. :(

Have you ever played a Pokémon battle frontier/tower?

Plenty.

I think as long as there is competent human verification of what it’s done, it’s legitimate to use AI for nearly anything. Especially the creation of art.

But I’ve also read that AI has been helpful in finding security problems in software that humans likely wouldn’t have found. I don’t see a reason to hate AI in general.

“Die Stimme der Mehrheit” haben sie sich genannt? Vielleicht sollten sie sich und ihre Anhänger einfach als “die Mehrheit” bezeichnen.

Klingt aber auf Deutsch vielleicht ein bisschen doof, vielleicht sollte man es zuerst in eine Fremdsprache übersetzen, wie wäre es mit Russisch?

At least for me, all citrus fruits including their juices have an effect that they make me somewhat happier and help somewhat against depression. In the winter, I usually eat several mandarins a day.

The problem with that is that he hasn’t been convicted of any of the things mentioned there. People are innocent until proven guilty, so it can’t be the case that someone can be deemed to have done these things if they haven’t been convicted.

Ohne den Artikel (wegen Bezahlschranke) gelesen zu haben: mir als jemandem, der nicht Auto fährt, fallen Lebensmittelpreise jedenfalls eher auf als Spritpreise. Wenn, dann ist die Behauptung höchstens in Bezug auf das, was in den Medien berichtet wird, richtig.

Oddly enough, treason is actually the only crime defined in the US constitution.

Unclear that Trump has done those exact things.

In any case, the executive branch isn’t going to prosecute its own head. The next president might, but then again it’s a real possibility that Trump might not live long enough for that…

Define “censorship” as well as “obvious like following the law” (the law of which jurisdiction?). People have different ideas of what they want to see, and laws across the world are different in what they do and don’t allow. So the question is unanswerable as asked.

Here are two articles that may help you understand the problems with your question:

Bears are pretty common in some areas of North America. We don’t even have black bears in Europe at all, only brown ones which are more dangerous.

Nowhere close to the >95% market share IE had in the early 2000s.

I see.

I occasionally read debates at what age children should get smartphones or other devices. While I don’t have children yet nor plans to have any, I think my attitude would be: when they’re able to read and write and occasionally unsupervised, they get a GNU/Linux smartphone, with Plasma Mobile or similar, so they can use the Internet through a web browser and get used to that being normal.

They get an Android phone in their teen years when they need it for banking apps or similar.

When I was younger, the Internet was primarily a text based medium. Images and videos existed, but mainly to illustrate text.

I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t able to read, so I wonder: do illiterate people now just watch videos on the Internet? Unthinkable 20 years ago that the Internet would be usable without being able to read.

Not familiar with that layout, but just looking at it I see there is a ’ printed on the question mark key, to the right of zero. So try pressing that key in combination with shift, or if that doesn’t work, AltGr.

Print screen, I suspect you’ll have to look up in that specific keyboard’s manual. On a full size keyboard that doesn’t need an Fn key it would certainly be where it is in all other languages. I suspect it is hidden behind a combination with the Fn key but since it isn’t printed on there, I can’t tell for sure.

There are at least three people with that name: the current US president, his son, and this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_L._Trump

Actually it can. Cookies, local storage … but using that for backups would certainly be an idea I haven’t heard before.

I have been doing so for more than two thirds of my life (back then it was independent web forums). Hardly know a world in which that isn’t part of my habits.

I do it because it is fun, kills my boredom, gives me meaning in life and often provides intellectual challenge. It also helps others and generally contributes to society by making more information available.
