Me too. Arch 950. Not cared enough to research a fix. Changed my keybind for suspend to lock the screen instead. If there’s a solution in this thread I’ll try it probably.

Lawyers will also usually advice the safer option. Even if your actions are legal, if its boarderline enough you have to defend your actions in court, its expensive and risky.

if you think ground apples isn’t an apt description, you’ve never eaten potatoes raw.

I’ve not used windows regularly since XP but I recall being very confused that the keyboard layout setting defaults to being per-application rather than syatemwide. Don’t know if that’s how its still done and I have no reason to care.

This has been solved by modern technology.

Mirrors in the olden days were made with silver, and because silver is the good pure metal it refuses to reflect the evil vampires, hence the lack of reflection.

Modern mirrors lack silver so they will reflect vampires just like everyone else!

The pianist, Jayson Gillham is an international soloist. He is not a member of the orchestra. He was hired to play one weekend in Melbourne. He’s scheduled to play in many other places with many other orchestras in the coming months. He’ll be fine.

Its doubtful he even lost any money from the canceled shows in Melbourne. A professional soloist with legal council wouldn’t sign a contract with a clause allowing the orchestra to unilaterally terminate the contract without pay. Beyond force majeure, you have to pay for concerts canceled at the last minute, at least in every contract I’ve read.

Most old systems used two digits for years. The year would go from 99 to 0. Any software doing a date comparison will get a garbage result. If a task needs to be run every 5 minutes, what will the software do if that task was last run 99 years from now? It will not work properly.

Governments and businesses spent lots of money and time patching critical systems to handle the date change. The media made a circus out of it, but when the year rolled over, everything was fine.

Those are colony insects that have a cooperative survival strategy. Japanese beetles don’t do that as far as I’m aware.

No not that far back

Light theme used to be the only theme. People now need dark themes because they’re eyes are too week from all the worke.

The gun’s name is an initialism for “Fuck Gun Control”, with the “9” referencing its 9mm cartridge.

They’ve got the best branding

Lemmy.world maintains a local copy of every external community. This is how federation works. Any piracy related posts on those subs will be copied in their entirety to lemmy.world servers, so lemmy.world could potentially be sued for hosting that content. Being the largest instance makes it a target.

It is rare to get advanced notice of legal problems. Usually the first you hear about it is a cease and desist, or a lawsuit. Lawsuits are costly to defend even if you’re doing nothing wrong.

I don’t like this decision. But it is a sensible one to protect the instance. If you care about piracy discussions you can visit those communities directly or on a different instance that made a different decision.
