“Niemand mehr”? Nein, ich will nicht, dass die Menschheit ausstirbt.

Weniger Leute? Ja.

Not what I want to happen though.

I want them to release Windows as free and open source software. Windows is on a purely technical level not a bad OS. If it were FOSS, we would get dozens of excellent distributions of it.

The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be

apparently we are now supposed to think that that is a good thing, huh

das klingt nur auf den ersten Blick absurd, schließlich gab es vor einem Monat das hier: https://www.zdfheute.de/politik/ausland/russland-roblox-verbot-protest-kinder-100.html

This is probably supposed to be a link to this: https://torrentfreak.com/nvidia-contacted-annas-archive-to-secure-access-to-millions-of-pirated-books/

There are a few communities where that link was posted correctly: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/53133358

hahahahahahahaha du glaubst wirklich noch, dass Regierungen, die glauben, Minderjährige vor sich selbst “schützen” zu müssen, irgendwelche Grenzen kennen?

Automatisierte Taxis werden wahrscheinlich die ekelhaftesten Orte der Welt sein. Wenn man Menschen kennt, weiß man: viele davon werden darin, da unbeobachtet, Körperflüssigkeiten aller Art hinterlassen.

now that is truly idiotic

I don’t mind apps drawing their own titlebars if they have a real use for it (I’m typing this comment in a Firefox window where the titlebar has the tab bar in it), but not having any window-manager-level title bar as a fallback at all and requiring apps to do that themselves?! Window managers everywhere else have been doing this since what, the 1984 Apple Macintosh?

What now? GNOME doesn’t support server-side decorations? It’s been years since I last used GNOME, so I may be out of touch; but if this is true, what happens if you do run something on GNOME that simply doesn’t have any code that draws its own titlebars? Or am I misunderstanding how any of this works?

I sometimes do that too, but as it’s not a thing on Windows (which I’m forced to use at work), it’s not my default habit.

People who live on other continents can read this thread too you know

Not a new debate at all… https://xkcd.com/1914/ and the context for that was https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/twitter-suspends-verifying-accounts-giving-154625015.html

I agree that if “verification” is going to be a thing, it should only mean the person or organization is who they claim to be, not imply endorsement of any of their activities.

Dieser Merz hat genug Vermögen, dass er es sich (wenn er wollte) leisten könnte, sein ganzes Leben keiner Erwerbsarbeit mehr nachzugehen, oder täusche ich mich da?

The thing is that I actually do think there are also threats to free speech from the left, though this might be less of an issue than ~10 years ago. They are all bad and I won’t hesitate to criticize any of them.

Ich poste keine Urheberrechtsverletzungen, aber da du laut deiner Kommentarhistorie auch Englisch verstehst: der Inhalt ist im Wesentlichen gleich wie der hiervon: https://torrentfreak.com/u-s-court-order-against-annas-archive-spells-more-trouble-for-the-site/

How big are the “downloaded maps”?

JOSM can do fairly complex queries with its search feature, maybe that satisfies your needs; but if you’re dealing with very large areas, they might overwhelm JOSM and not load in it.

ETA: of course “downloaded maps”, if you mean .osm files, are just XML files, so it’s completely trivial to write simple scripts to search through them oneself

Technikenthusiast: mein ganzes Zuhause ist smart, ich kontrolliere Schlüssel, Licht und Fenster von meinem Smartphone aus!

Person, die beruflich mit Technik zu tun hat: das modernste Stück Technik bei mir zu Hause ist ein Drucker aus dem Jahr 2004 und daneben bewahre ich eine geladene Pistole auf für den Fall, dass er ein unerwartetes Geräusch macht

hat das was mit der Farbe “ocker” zu tun? xD
