Concept2 rowing machines. Even if they break, you can still buy spare parts at reasonable rates even for the very first model, which is decades old and only sold a few copies. Fantastic engineering.

Yeah I know. I had a much longer comment all written out, but after reading it, it was just too depressing and I deleted most of it.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz

He won’t be around for much longer anyway. His chancellorship will effectively end december 16th with a vote of no confidence. The one who will likely succeed him (Friedrich Merz, CDU) will do less then nothing for the environment anyway.

What difference would it even make if they attended this useless greenwashing feel-good event, if that attendence never seems to be followed up by any meaningful action?

The 4B movement predominantly sees transgender rights movements as incompatible with feminism

Interesting, that his since been deleted from the Wikipedia article.

They will not. They will do what they always do:

• rely on people being pissed off enough after four years of Rep rule to vote for the Dems no matter what
• rely on a few select ‘free’ topics (abortion, LGBTQIA+ rights etc) to show how different they are, when they are mostly exactly the same when it comes to topics that matter to most voters daily (ie topics that affect them personally, like their own economic situation)

I recon the only thing that could actually make them shift to the left is strong opposition from the left, basically a left Ross Perot, if you want. One that collects all the votes of the people who were too disillusioned this time around to actually vote, and then basically says “Shift to the left enough, be a real alternative, and you can have these”. Without someone or a party like that, no, they will not change. They will continue to further the interests of billionaires, just like the Reps.

Personally, if I was unhappy with your posts, I’d just shrug and then block you. Case closed :)

ATI Mach32 EISA. It looked to good on paper, but somehow, it did not make DOS go brrrrrr 😟

But will he make sure you guys keep the lead pipes? They are essential for good health!

Lexx - The Dark Zone.

Pure Canadian-German Madness with a really great cast and the wildest stories ever. And what other show has a certified anti hero as starship captain?

Another theory is that people with children want you to have some, too, because they have no other topics available for discussion.

I’m in way over my head as it is. I can’t even imagine what it would be like having to be responsible for some gremlins, as well. We do not even dare get a cat (or two - you should always get two so they’re not lonely) for the same reason. Good thing my SO sees it exactly the same way. We’re both glad we didn’t have children.

(re)Ditched Windows on my PC a while ago, still have to use Windows at work. Just checked my work laptop running Windows 11 (standard laptop, not a “Copilot+PC”) - sure enough, that Recall shit is installed and active. Disabled it, and made a post in our main company Teams channel with screenshots. Will be interesting to see if there are any reactions to this.

To find out if it is active in Windows 11, open up ‘cmd’ and use: (typing this from memory, hope it is correct)

dism /online /get-featureinfo /featurename:Recall

to disable it, you need a ‘cmd’ instance with admin rights:

dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Recall

Relevant Simpsons scene

This is what gcc 13.2.0 makes of it in Linux:

So basically just loading the string and calling ‘printf’ from the libc.

I hope you are not argueing that using assembly is an improvement over using C in that regard…

bc is 91 kilobytes and can work with seriously big numbers.

You want to know what 2^99812 is? bc will tell you. Hint: the result is so big I could not paste it in here. bc does not care, bc just delivers.

Not saying there is anything wrong with a GUI calculator using 103m of RAM and looking fancy while only working with tiny numbers, just saying.

Don’t hate me, but I like Cyberpunk 2077. It may have had its problems at launch, and I heard people were promised all kinds of stuff that was not delived, or was delivered only much later, but I never listen to hype anyway. I’ve played this for many hours. There are great mods for that game that make it even better, and it has such cool characters, such a fascinating world, good music, great design, the combat is fun… I love it.

A slight misunderstanding, perhaps. I meant why should Google try, as right now Firefox is no threat to them.

Have you looked at the market share of Firefox lately? Why even waste time on that?
