Because the rich just pay politics to provide the law they want to have.

Seriously depends on your local water source. Our tap water has more than enough mg, ca, and other mineral ingredients to start making it a pain in the ass (hard water). But it is (of course) drinkable, and tastes quite good.

Geometry, class six or seven.

There are places where they have trees all around their houses. Like in California, where they just had been more fuel to the fires.

Definitely. We lived in an old house without central heating, and I know what hunger is. My father died when I was a kid, after a long sickness, and taking care of him and us kids took a lot out of mum.

Now I can support my family from my income, with both kids at unversity without debts.

Yes, we are better off. But the way to here and now was hard.

Regardless what i do, the results are shit. If i set language to English, it tries to present me with English tranlations of German YouTubers, if i set it to German, it tries to translate English YouTubers to German. Both kinds of tranlations suck.

Complain to your bank, obviously.

I wonder when I can set default options for importing images. I’m using Open/LibreOffice since nearly the beginnings as StarOffice (I think I still have the CD somewhere), and one thing really irks me: Whenever I import an image (which I do rather regularly), it always imports the image as “Anchor->To Character”. For me, this is the wrong default, I always need “Anchor->As Character”. For thousands of images, I have to set this manually.

I’d even say, the usefullness is fully gone.

He killed the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Theoretically, no company is allowed to transfer data of European citizens to US-based servers anymore. Sadly, Ursula von der Leyen is lacking the balls to act on this.

Not actually suprising. They got used over the years to be pulled over the barrel by each and every app. Why should they differenciate between American data leeches and privacy infringers, and those from China.

“We store the information we collect in secure servers located in the People’s Republic of China”

Now you Americans know how we Europeans feel when Google, Amazon and Facebook store our information on American servers. Hint: The protective wall between Chinese servers and their government are about as good as the one between American servers and their government - at least for non-US citizens. The last thin veil of privacy for Eurpeans has been ripped to shreds by Trump last week.

Well, performance-wise, you cannot beat Intel and AMD at the moment. Then there is ARM, which is strong, especially if power consumption is an issue. And it is closing the gap to the top. Bonus: ARM has a range from simple M0 cores to GHz multiprocessor chips. Where is RISC-V on that scale?

Compare ARM performance: https://browser.geekbench.com/search?utf8=✓&q=ARM with RISC-V performance: https://browser.geekbench.com/search?q=RISC-V and you’ll see that RISC-V has a looooong way to go before it can be considered relevant.

RISC-V has it’s place, no question, but don’t expect servers or workstations anytime soon. At least outside China and Russia…

FTFY: by referring to the single source of truth opinion.

Most legal robots do. Those who don’t - among them many AI feeders - deserve to be drowned in the shit that the honeypot delivers.

Which can easily be faked.

Just put the trap in a space roped off by robots.txt - any crawler that ventures there deserves being roasted.

Just leave Instagram. The quickest way to get rid of a stalking “president”.

Didn’t Donald the Jester say something about fighting crime before the election? And then he drops thousands of hard criminals back on the street?

Not my education system. I live in a civilized country.
