Querparken (in München) mit dem Microauto – künftig ohne Knöllchen
  • 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.

  • Is it possible for an neighbor's apartment to have mice but not mine?
  • 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.

  • Utah is facing a dangerous water crisis. The entire water crisis could be solved by just not growing alfalfa
  • I know practically nothing about Utah, but they probably have alfalfa in their crop rotation, because legumes bring nitrogen into the ground.

    Illustration of the nitrogen cycle, with legumes as one way for nitrogen to get into the ground.

    So, without growing alfalfa, they'd need much more artificial fertilizer, which can also have negative effects, like it being washed into lakes where it leads to excessive algae growth, ultimately leading to toxins being released and fish etc. suffocating.

    I can imagine that there's some middleground which works better overall, but yeah, I don't think it's as simple as just not growing alfalfa...

  • Considering switching from Windows 11 and I have some questions
  • 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.

  • Why those Democrats 🤬
  • 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.

  • Du meinst nachdem die Politik sich um ein Verbot einer Regenbogenflagge kümmert anstatt richtige Probleme anzugehen. Wenn Klöckner nichts getan hätte, wäre sie weniger menschenfeindlich aufgetreten.

  • Open source is a promotion tool
  • Yeah, after writing that comment, I was thinking, if I do promote it, that means there's a certain expectation that I'll integrate or implement functionality that others want. At that point, it becomes less of an egoistic thing. And I'll be doing more communication and whatnot, therefore less programming.

    Maybe that's the puzzle piece that OP is missing? If you don't promote it, you have practically no extra work compared to developing it under a proprietary license. In fact, it often reduces the workload, if you can just post it publicly without having to secure the repo.
    And you don't incur costs from giving it away either. So, if you make sure to only put in the work that you want to put in in the first place, you have no disadvantage from publishing it with an open-source license.

  • bashcrawl: learn Linux commands by playing a simple text adventure
  • Incidentally, you can also play !dcss@lemmy.ml to train Vim navigation with HJKL keys.

    I mean, DCSS does also have diagonal movement keys, which are most definitely not a thing in real Vim, but uh, you can probably just ignore those. So long as you're not trying to win the game, anyways...

  • Nazis are far-right, so why were/are they called National Socialists?
  • Not an expert, but I find a good bit of context here is also that in the elections in 1932 and 1933, the three strongest parties were:

    • NSDAP: National Socialist German Workers' Party
    • SPD: Social Democratic Party of Germany
    • KPD: Communist Party of Germany

    So, it really was just popular at the time to say you were doing socialism, but they also weren't actually fooling anyone who really wanted these politics, since two other viable and more obvious choices existed.

    I don't know why this exists...

    Was looking for the logo of Perl in image search and this showed up...

    🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

    So, I use KDE Connect to sync my clipboard contents from my PC to my phone. Since a few weeks ago, it updates those clipboard contents regularly, even when said PC is suspended. And apparently, the last thing I copied is 🙃, so now my phone weirdly smiles at me every so often. 🫠

    TIL last-modified timestamp of a dir updates when a file/subdir is added/renamed/deleted

    !Screenshot showing how the directory last-modified timestamp changes each time a file underneath it is added, renamed and then removed.

    I'm currently working on a build tool, which does caching based on the last-modified timestamp of files. And yeah, man, I was prepared for a world of pain, where I'd have to store a list of all files, so I could tell when one of them disappears. I probably would've also had to make up some non-existent last-modified timestamp to try to pretend I know when that file got deleted. I figured, there's no way to ask the deleted file when it got deleted, because it doesn't exist anymore.

    Thank you, to whomever had that smart idea to design it like that. I can just take the directory last-modified timestamp now, if it's the highest value. In fact, my implementation accidentally does this correct already. That's how I found out. 🫠
