Scholz didn’t resign, he called for and lost a vote of no confidence, so the parliament will be dissolved by the German prime minister and new elections are due in late February, where Scholz can (and likely will) throw his hat in the ring again.

A resignation is something different.

Using some creepy robot with a proprietary algorithm to provide “emotional support” to children sounds like a good thing to go out of business.

Oh I totally agree with you, I was just making fun of the downvotes coming from hypocrites who don’t want to abandon their favorite megacorp but instead cry a river about ads.

Now I hate ads like the next guy, but either I find a way to block them, or I move on.

Psssst don’t anger the anti-corpo-crew.

I tried it, and it looks decent, but there wasn’t a single person I know around.

I’ve never come across anyone who believed in heliocentrism, ever. Is that a thing?

Anything good you can recommend? Haven’t seen much good since Witcher 3… And before that, maybe Gothic 2 or Oblivion.

You know, before it was scientifically proven that smoking, asbestos, leaded gasoline, heroine, thalidomide/contergan, etc etc were health hazards, people had no reason to believe that those things were unhealthy.

I totally agree that it’s bullshit someone can’t legally sell cigarettes or alcohol while being underage when the recipient is old enough, but believing those things are healthy in a time where it was sold as state of the art or even miracle cures doesn’t really mean boomers are dumb.

Rubbish, the superuser app will prompt you if an app asks for permissions, and you need to grant it manually. The warning message is distinctively different from regular popups, and there is a 5 second cooldown timer before you can click it, to make sure it’s not happening accidentally.

Cinnamon Stars! Absolute staple in Germany, they taste divine.

You can bypass this crap, but you’ll need to root your phone to achieve that.

Afterwards you’ll need to install magisk (superuser app) and a bunch of plugins: play integrity fix and playcurl_next (to simulate that your phone is unrooted), and then FlagSecurePatcher (which is the actual module that’s overriding the screenshot block.

Yeah we still had an old 8086 with tape drive and all from my dad’s university times around, but I never acutely used that one.

You absolutely can. What really helps is to stop using any kind of digital devices about 2h before you intend to sleep, then workout for a bit, and chase that down with some meditation. Focused breathing exercises are enough, no need to go full guru.

Afterwards take a shower, go go bed, and read a book. You’ll have to force yourself to make it through the current chapter, guaranteed.

My 286er had 2MB RAM and no hard drive, just two 5.25" floppy drives. One to boot the OS from, the other for storage and software.

I upgrade it to 4 MB RAM and bought a 20 MB hard drive, moved EVERY piece of software I had onto it, and it was like 20% full. I sincerely thought that should last forever.

Today I casually send my wife a 10 sec video from the supermarket to choose which yoghurt she wants and that takes up about 25 MB.

I thought you have to be able to read the full summons to be legally considered as received. Not too familiar with US law though.

Where I’m from there’s a way of a public delivery if someone absconded, by posting it on the black board of the local city hall of someone’s current registered address for 4 weeks or something.

If they failed to change the registered address they’d also be committing a federal crime, so if they were to contest the lawful delivery, they’d admit another offense, landing them in jail where they could then be successfully served. So that would at best reset the timer at the expense of a felony.

Clickbait trash. He’s been avoiding getting served for a few weeks, and soon the court will allow to serve his mom instead, and nothing has been achieved. Hooray.

Never heard of that platform before, is it US only?

Bots. Upcoming elections in Germany, proximity to Russia in Finland.

Never really bought into bluray. DVD was still good enough on early HD TVs, and at the time where the really good ones became affordable, you could buy decently sized HDDs and later SSDs for little money. Ever since my video library has been entirely digital.

I don’t know anybody buying those crappy carrier deals, to be honest. They had a place and time in the early 2000s, but beyond that they seemed to die out mostly. Maybe still a thing in the US, no idea.
