After seeing how excited some folks got during COVID, that’s genuinely somewhat of a worry for me. Kind of like how lonely, young men can be sold on the idea of war, because they think they’ll finally be adored as a hero, you can just as well find preppers who think they’ll finally be adored, because they bought toilet paper before everyone else could.

In the case of COVID, it was thankfully a disappointment for the preppers, in that the best survival strategy was staying in your cushty home. That will be the case for the vast majority of infectious diseases. But I still bet someone out there had the intrusive thought that maybe they shouldn’t help reduce the spread of COVID, because you won’t be deemed a hero without a real crisis…

Proper ants only have 6 legs, though. But yeah, these spiders-turned-to-ants would have 8 legs.

Well, and crabs technically have 10 legs, with their foremost pair typically equipped with pincers. 🙃

Immernoch unfassbar, dass der Kanzler geworden ist. Man kann falsch liegen und es trotzdem weniger falsch begründen als so.

Hab mir für morgen den Wecker gestellt, damit ich direkt um 7:00 Uhr im Laden stehen kann und dann hoffentlich wieder zu Hause bin bevor die Hitze mich einholt…

Das einzige Argument was ich verstehen könnte, wäre dass sie so eben rückwärts ausparken muss. Man darf ja z.B. auch nicht entgegen der Fahrtrichtung parken.
Aber ja, denke auch, dass der Menschheit hundertmal mehr geholfen ist, wenn hier nicht an der bestehenden Gesetzesfassung festgehalten wird.

and no longer require a forced restart after applying an update via a package manager.

To be honest, that’s the bigger Linux news…

Soll ja kein Auftrag an den Innenminister sein, aber es ist ein baldiger Auftrag an die CDU als Koalitionspartner hier Gespräche zu führen.

Mice can often find ways you wouldn’t believe, but they still have to adhere to the laws of physics, so you might simply not have suitable holes in your apartment for them to enter. But yeah, also quite possible that they can smell the cat and don’t want to enter the lion’s den.

(Translation: A nappy is a diaper)

Thanks, I was wondering why the side mattered for and why, at 3 AM, you need to swap a napkin.

It looks like a guitar pick to me. 🙃

Yeah, sometimes I wonder if they do these bad names for the free publicity of people complaining about them. But then there’s plenty examples where the name isn’t just clunky, but rather actively confusing for potential users…

His job is to spread lies and fear, so no reason for him to say something different, if he would know reality…

She wrote “a drum”, so we might be talking less than ten quid… 😅

I don’t think, it’s open-source…

This does not look to be open-source. The webpage lists open-source licenses for the libraries used by this app, but there’s no open-source license for the app itself.
And while there’s a GitHub repo, it’s empty. It seems to be used just for hosting the APK files.

An open-source app with decent editing capabilities is Fossify Gallery: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fossify.gallery/

Incidentally, he was also married for some time to the author of the bottom left and middle.

OpenOffice has seen essentially no development since 2011, when the trademark got transferred to Oracle after they bought Sun Microsystems.

The project got forked into LibreOffice to dodge the trademark issue, but it’s the same devs, practically the same project, but now under a non-profit organization. Well, and with 14 more years of development.

So, use LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice. It will most likely come pre-installed on whichever Linux distro you go with. But you can also try it out on Windows beforehand, if you have concerns.

Took me far too long to find the birb in this picture…

Honestly, at this point just plonk down a few traffic lights and pretend it’s a normal intersection. At least assuming that center piece isn’t elevated.

Apparently the screenshot is to be read as Catturd proudly proclaiming that democrats weren’t even briefed, so they could not have leaked anything.
But when Trump said a few days later that democrats leaked information, Catturd still immediately accepted that as truth.
