Great. I would like to be able to do that.

Danke Merkel!

I need a sabbatical. Canada maybe or New Zealand. A retreat to a monastery also sounds nice. I will rebuild an old farm house. Something along these lines. :)

It doesn’t have to be the truth, or does it?

Some people are just one hit wonders, so it could be für nothing. But it would be worth a try.

It’s definitively better than to give the idea of nuclear fission to Henry Cavendish in 1766. Right now we live in the sweet spot between discovery and… broad practical application.

It felt unusual at first that they attached semantics to (white spaces and tabs as) non-printable characters. On the other hand other n.p.- characters like line feeds always had a meaning (I.e. within multi line strings).

So why not, when it helps to reduce the amount of (printable) characters to describe your thing and increase clarity? 🤔

Interesting. I learned something. Again.

I proposed an extension of the feature set. The current behaviour is still possible. You can use the added feature but you don’t have to.

The issue for me: The current landscape in lemmy has a lot of sparsely filled groups - I do not browse by group (filter by subscribed or all and sorted by new or hot).
In this view multiple identical posts with distributed replies are shown. This adds redundancy in the comments and reduces clarity.

Edit: The idea rises the question, how the ownership (or relation) of a post to the group and its replies should be handled. Using an x-post-like approach is just one idea.

Allow multiple groups per post (use them like tags). This would have some interesting implications regarding moderation and the handling of replies to the said post.

Having multiple identical posts in different groups with distributed replies doesn’t feel ideal to me.

Why do they wait in line for one guy? It’s just a select and there should be multiple employees at the counter, or not?

Arguably a big part of piracy is about digital distribution services (DDS). Just not the ones the digital rights owner had in mind.

So many orphaned comments and no post. Strange.

“You are the number 1111 (base 255) for me.” isn’t even a backhanded compliment any more, or is it?

I mean, that puts the person in question behind 16.843.008 more favourable people (unless I’ve miscalculated).

You mean used their digits? There are only 8 fingers. But then there is also the octal system. And together with a friend you could count in hexadecimal… :)

I just realised that digits translates to Finger in german. And finger also translates to Finger. But you have 10 of the former and 8 of the latter. Funny.

I looked up miter joint and butt joint and I’m beginning to understand what you wanted to say.

Yes, maybe.

It doesn’t hurt to know the basic commands to insert, copy, paste with vim. But with bim, handling the tool always consumed a too big percentage of my attention in respect to doing the task at hand. I still use it for small file changes.

Thanks for the short version.

Oracle happened to OpenOffice.

95€ temporarily until the defects are fixed. Then the 20qm room is worth a rent of 477€.

The Huurcommissie scored the appointment on a point scale, and determined the reasonable rental price should have been 476.85 euros per month. The tribunal then noted that the tenant was unable to lock their own bedroom. Additionally, the wood-framed kitchen skylight had a 10 millimeter crack in it, causing drafts, and the toilet tank in a shared bathroom was leaking.

The tribunal further lowered the rent to 95.37 euros until the damage is fixed, saying it could find no evidence the landlord actually tried to fix the problems. This can gradually increase as repairs are carried out to the maximum of just under 477 euros. The reduction was also backdated to September 1 from the ruling, which was filed at the end of December and published more recently. As a result, the landlord must repay the overpaid rent in the intervening months.

There are oem drives out there which don’t have the 5year warranty. I would check the drives serial numbers at the seagate homepage.
