Yeah. Someone has to put in the work for packaging an application if you want it as a .deb/.rpm etc. package and deal with any bugs that might come up, and it’s not going to be me (speaking as a user, not a developer).

That said, I also painted myself into a corner when it comes to harddrive space. LUKS can be complicated, man …

I think Github is a relatively simple issue. There isn’t really a shortage of european (or just selfhostable) alternatives, and the way git works means that most contributors have complete local copies of the codebase. TBH I worry more about the ability of american contributors to continue working on a project if the code is hosted in europe - basically a lot of open source developer teams could end up being split or shut down entirely. And the bigger projects like Linux and a lot of the intermediate layers between the Linux kernel and applications are majorly backed and developed by american companies and their employees.

Ever heard of cheese analogue?

And now I’ve eaten all of it slowly over the coarse of 2 months. Just fistfulls of late night cheese.

See, that’s exactly why I don’t do that! Also I don’t think my local supermarkets actually sell 3 lbs of mozzarella for $7.

In that case, the ingredients must be so cheap that the food coloring actually makes a significant price difference for them.

Yellow cheese (assuming it doesn’t use food coloring) typically takes a lot more time to make than white cheese, so yeah. Though mozzarella is also just the standard pizza cheese, it seems like most people in the know prefer mozzarella’s properties (e.g. stretchiness) over other types of cheese.

1. USA isn’t Europe.

2. Being conquered is nasty business, too. Ask the inhabitants of Bucha if you find any.

If Europeans don’t make weapons of war, someone will eventually conquer them.

And y’know, we have yet to see open, full-scale war between atomic powers. Nuclear deterrence seems to work (for now).

I typically go through a door and look for a place to put my coat, but you do you.

Such as … ?

If Peanuts are nutpeas, tell me wtf cashews are: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashewbaum#/media/Datei:Cashew_apples.jpg (don’t say “apples” just because that’s literally the file name …).

No, it’s pronounced fow-veh!

For roughly Jetta-sized cars by Volkswagen, it’s usually Passat or Golf (including the ‘Golf variant’ station wagon). VW Passat is fairly common as a police car, too.

Indeed. Though interestingly, the Jetta seems to be much more common abroad, t’s a pretty rare car in Germany.

Did you ever try DuckDuckGo? According to Wikipedia:

Ecosia delivers a combination of search results from Yahoo!, Google,[6] Bing and Wikipedia.[5]
Advertisements are delivered by Yahoo! and Microsoft Advertising as part of a revenue sharing agreement with the company.[7]

That doesn’t really sound that different from ddg.

According to the text body of the article, it’s more like “you’re a dumbass? with AI, you can dumbass harder and faster”.

I’d assume the taste of soap is usually a lot stronger.

They aren’t wrong IMO - if you don’t do anything that requires a lot of processing power or really need a lot of slots for peripherals, PCI cards and drives, you might as well connect your external display, keyboard and mouse to a laptop. It gives you the option to take the entire thing with you, and a lot of people have spare laptops anyway.

I know plenty of people who don’t even use their laptop much because they’re doing everything on their phones or game consoles.

Mailbox.org already provides 3 different aliases even at the lowest tier, but I’ve already filled those with non-temporary aliases and I don’t really want to pay three times as much just for throwaway-aliases …

While we’re at it, anyone got a good site for temporary addresses that are basically used exactly once? And ideally don’t immediately get flagged as spam addresses.
