As a German, well, I don't understand enough about the US side of things to answer to this, but I do always get spooked when I see nations pulling shit like that.
And, by the way, I do hope the USA finally get 9/11 under wraps this year: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2023/09/07/notice-on-the-continuation-of-the-national-emergency-with-respect-to-certain-terrorist-attacks-3/
I believe, there was some special overlay on the XBOX to allow buying it directly ingame. Maybe Microsoft was involved there?
Hmm, yeah, it is a bit surprising to me, too, especially for an audio issue, but it's always possible that you had some weird configuration values in about:config for historic reasons and now some new code, that came in with a Firefox update, isn't working with that configuration.
Either way, it happens often enough that Mozilla has a troubleshooting routine for it, too, namely refreshing your profile.
If I remember correctly, it places your old profile data into a folder in your Desktop folder. But you can also separately backup your profile by closing Firefox and then copying ~/.mozilla/firefox/ onto an external hard drive or such.
Completely unrelated story: I bought a red cabbage last week and was so glad to have found a relatively small one in the shop.
...I have been eating red cabbage for the past three days and still have enough left for another two days. Just why is it so damn compressed? I can cut off the tiniest slice from that cabbage and it still fills a whole plate.
Krass, wir haben eigentlich immer eine VM rumstehen, wo wir unsere entwickelte Software testweise ausrollen oder einen Monitoring-Endpunkt drauf laufen haben.
Hatten wir bei uns auch schon öfter. Anscheinend erlaubt Microsoft es nicht, GitHub Enterprise auf mehr als einem Rechner zu hosten. Also wenn der ausfällt, dann kann die Firma eben nicht arbeiten.
Ich kann empfehlen, auf irgendeinem Host einen Git-Server hinzuschmeißen und mit dem Team darüber zusammen zu arbeiten. Ist erstaunlich einfach: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server
Does it also still happen in fresh profile? It will be like a factory-reset Firefox (except that you can go back to your current profile), so then it definitely wouldn't have anything to do with your Firefox configuration.
If you just want correct metadata (no own adjustments), then getting it from the MusicBrainz database is probably easiest. You can use MusicBrainz Picard for that: https://picard.musicbrainz.org
It does also seem to have a scripting API. No idea how well that works, though.
I don't have a dryer, but I just hang them up to dry on the clothes hanger. Probably works even better, since the weight of the water pulls them straight.
Well, if you're self-hosting GitLab, there might not be much of a difference. Codeberg is hosted by a non-profit organization, so you don't have to self-host it.
The open-source software that it uses, Forgejo, is also more so developed by the community, rather than just one corporation, who could change the license for future updates at any point.
Huh, so Tony Hoare invented null and then Graydon Hoare invented Rust, immediately terminating the existence of which does not have a traditional nullnull value.
ProGrace which sets politics aside to focus on aiding the woman and meeting her needs directly both during and after her pregnancy regardless as to how she decides to proceed.
I mean, that sounds like pro-choice to me. Pro-choice is about letting the pregnant woman decide.
This is also crucial for the care of a woman with an unwanted pregnancy. If she's been raped or does not feel like she will be able to support the baby, then the abortion is extremely important for her mental health.
Laws restricting choice often also restrict what procedures doctors are allowed to perform. It can and has already lead to situations where an abortion is considered medically necessary, or even the only logical step forward, because the fetus is already dead in the womb, but doctors still will not do it, because it could mean they get fined for it.
In my opinion, the logical path for straddling both sides is to leave the pregant woman's choice 100% intact, but then make it easy for her to choose the pregnancy.
In other words, universal healthcare, a high-quality child care network, maternity leave, and assistance for getting the child adopted. Preventing unwanted pregnancies by providing contraceptives also helps a lot.
I feel like that's also why this discussion hardly exists in developed nations outside of the US, because they have these things.
I'm using Simon Tatham's Puzzles for nonograms.
It's basically this webpage in app form: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/pattern.html
It doesn't result in a pixel art picture when you solve it, if you care for that, but the solutions do have contiguous regions.
I was going to say that these remind me of the Google Chrome icon. 😅
LTT is Linus Tech Tips. It's more of an entertainment channel with technology flavor. They're pretty terrible when it comes to actual technological understanding.
Man, it's been a few years since I've heard 'spiritual' people talk, and I did not miss it at all.
Das Gespräch war halt wie Schnackstunde im Altersheim. Einer, der irgendwie psychisch durch ist und ständig irgendwelche offensichtlichen Lügen erfindet, wie toll er sei. Und der andere, der dagegen hält, aber teilweise zu senil ist, um einen Satz zu vollenden.
Dass die beiden sich als Präsident der USA bewerben, macht es dann so richtig surreal.
Yeah, that is my understanding, too. Otherwise you'd only want to generate them on the database host, as even with NTP there will be small differences. This would kind of defeat the purpose of UUIDs.
If you're saying that even without NTP, just by manually setting the time, things will be fine. I mean, maybe. But I've seen it far too many times already that some host shows up with 1970-01-01...
We often talk about the climate impact based on greenhouse gases, but extracting fuel from the ground and using it in exothermal processes of course also releases energy as heat.
This is mostly¹ in contrast with renewables, which make use of energy that's not long-term contained to begin with, so would end up as heat in our atmosphere anyways.
So, my question is: Does the amount of energy released by non-renewables have any notable impact on our global temperature? Or would it easily radiate into space, if we solved the greenhouse gas problem?

¹) In the case of solar, putting up black surfaces does mean that less sunlight gets reflected, so more heat ultimately gets trapped in our atmosphere. There's probably other such cases, too.
Somehow we forgot how to center rectangles and must find our way back
Hi, I just read online that you can apparently run apt --fix-broken install.
I wanted to know, what that really does, but both apt --help and man apt only show a high-level summary of the subcommands and flags. The --fix-broken flag is never mentioned, and presumably many others neither.
Is there some way to access documentation for all subcommands and flags?
Hi, the default Roboto font is boring me out of my mind and I'd like to change it.
In the past, I've done so by just replacing the font file in the OS, which worked well, but meant that it would reset after every OS update. I'm considering scripting that with ADB to make it less of a pain, but figured I should ask, if there's a better way.
I'm on LineageOS which has a font styling system, but it only applies to the OS, not the user-installed apps...
