My two use cases are project brainstorming and boilerplate code, which saves a lot of time for me. For example sometimes I find an interesting paper and want to try it out in Python. If they did not provide code that will take some time and trial and error to get it running. Or I just copy the whole paper into ChatGPT and get an initial script that sometimes even works with it’s first try. But that is not the point, I can do the last steps myself, it really is a time saver for me with regards to programming.

I use this to retain the old style, if that helps you.

I hope I can now play all buzz games, some of them had the problem that the blue button was continuously pressed and you couldn’t play the game.

Switching from Firefox to Librewolf has some pros and cons. Librewolf is a fork of Firefox focused on privacy and security, with telemetry stripped out and privacy settings maxed out by default. You’ll gain better out-of-the-box privacy protections, meaning less tracking and data collection without having to tweak settings yourself.

However, you might lose some convenience. Librewolf might not support certain Firefox features like Sync, since it relies on Mozilla’s servers (not sure about that point, maybe it does work). It can also break some websites due to the stricter privacy settings. Another thing to consider is that you won’t get updates as quickly as Firefox.

Regarding browser fingerprinting, it’s a tricky beast. Librewolf can help somewhat by making your fingerprint less unique, but it’s not a silver bullet. Tools like uBlock Origin and container tabs are great, but adding something like the CanvasBlocker extension can also help reduce fingerprinting. Ultimately, no setup is perfect, but Librewolf is a solid step towards better privacy.

Just to spin this a bit further, if we are living in a simulation, does it have a purpose? Sometimes I ask myself if the purpose of such a simulation for humanity could be to see how long it takes from the big bang to the creation of artificial life. Maybe our purpose is to create such artificial life that can travel to the stars, because as humans we are not really fit to do that. Maybe we are a mere step on the ladder of our universe’s purpose.

For me it’s a great party game. I regularly meet with some friends since 2013 to play local multiplayer games. For the most time we played Nintendo games, but since I got a Steam Deck we wanted to try some non Nintendo games, so I am building a steam local multiplayer library. And stick fight is usually our starter game since the rounds are so short.

What does this locking do? Where I live every online vendor offers to pay by installments which addresses the issue that people could not afford the upfront price, why do the phones have to be locked in the US?

But is it a fake position if you intend to fill it with a foreign worker?

Does the fine have to be paid from profits made in California? If not I don’t see why this is relevant, other than semantics.

And then you also have different meanings depending on pronunciation, here some examples:

• umfahren: to drive around something or to run over something

• Montage: the act of assembling or the plural of Monday

• übersetzen: to ferry across a river or to translate into another language

• umschreiben: to rewrite or to paraphrase

• durchschauen: to look through something or to understand

• unterstellen: to place something underneath or to imply or accuse someone of something

• unterhalten: to hold something underneath or to support or to converse with someone or to entertain

• wiederholen: to fetch something back or to repeat something

As a native German speaker, I really dislike the formality levels and hope someday everyone uses the informal level. In a big company it’s really annoying to start with the formal level and then awkwardly switching to informal level when contacting someone for the first time.

Yeah, BG4 is dead on arrival for me, but on the other hand I am glad Larian continues to exist and does not have to bow to some corporate entity. Instead of BG4, I am looking forward to their next project then. And even if they would do BG4, it’s hard to top BG3, so I can understand moving on to a new project without fan expectations other than the high regard for Larian.

I use Mull for Android and find it a bit more performant than vanilla Firefox.

I never installed Linux myself, only used it for a bit, so what do you have to do to not be a complete noob? This is only a half serious question, but what do you think you have to do, to be a proficient Linux user? This sounds a bit like when I got my master’s degree and did not have the feeling that I know anything or have learned valuable skills, but to someone with only a high school diploma I would look rather proficient.

I am not an expert either, but maybe by something like this? Maybe we see two images of the same galaxy but nothing obstructing our view to explain the gravitational lensing, so maybe it’s topological defects?

So what is the actual transistor size then? And why use an SI unit then anyway? Why not use femto-bananas then when it does not reflect the real size?

I don’t follow American politics very closely, who is this RFK guy and between Biden and Trump, how bad is he?

He said that it’s creepy but convenient, digital privacy and laziness don’t go hand in hand generally. Every week I read about another alternative for Google Photos, so the solution is not far away (three posts down I found this for example). To each their own I guess, but with such simple solutions I can’t justify using Google’s spyware.

Thank you, right now I am not even thinking about afterwards as I have to finish my PhD. beforehand so that I can spend most of me free time with my child. And until then I have to care for our horse it seems. My wife isn’t allowed to ride anymore And in the last two months I will probably be there every day to muck out the box, feed him and do some ground work with him. After all, we now have a riding partner (is that the right word for someone who pays us money so she can use the horse some days?) so I only have to come 5 days a week. So it’s all very stressful at the moment, but I’m really looking forward to it :)

I have ~6 months till birth of our firstborn, so not much to contribute right now.
