in-class bathroom that you can hear through from the regular classroom…? wtf?

is this a regular occurrence in burgerland?

is a good day to STFU

Don't Talk to the Police

Medically necessary?

You mean those who we should just let die, lest they undergo something that would prevent them from becoming a baby machine? /s

sloppy

in actual work ethics as well or just in perceived social/office norms?

Rock, Punk, und Metal, aber weder Hip-Hop/Rap noch R&B/Soul oder Jazz?

Ich behaupte, da gab es einen nicht ganz zentrierten Weltblick bei den Ersteller*n…

Bitte gerne nachbessern, für diese oder spätestens die nächste Edition. Müssen ja nicht alle von meinen genannten Genres mit drauf, aber dann dürfen die ersten drei auch zu Oberbegriff „Rock” o.ä. zusammengeschrumpft werden.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

Zum Glück ging es im Kanzlerkandidaten-TV-Duell 30 von 90 Minuten um Migration (und 15 Sekunden um bezahlbares Wohnen).

Most “browsers” being marketed out there are based off of Google’s Chromium project. They are effectively re-skins of it (simplifying a little). Examples include Brave, Vivaldi, Opera I believe.

Firefox is completely separate and independent from this ecosystem (which is also why there’s a separate extension store for Firefox).

The third and last major (>a couple % market share) engine is WebKit, which is the basis of Apple’s Safari.

There’s tons of cool stuff out there, but it’s either niche (platform/use case), unstable to use, and/or both. Examples: Servo, Ladybird, Orion

To sum it up, if you’re a normal, average user:

• If you have exclusively Apple devices, probably try Safari (for the synchronization & battery efficiency)
• If not, Firefox!
• If you need it because of some really messed up development/compatibility issues, the last resort is ungoogled/de-googled Chromium

While on the topic, here’s some cool browser extensions:

• uBlock Origin

• Consent-O-Matic (auto-deny cookie banners)

• StopTheMadness / StopTheMadness Pro (macOS only)

• Bitwarden or the browser extension of another, different password manager you (hopefully) already use

• YouTube-specific extensions, if you use the platform

  • SponsorBlock for YouTube (Firefox link)
  • Stop AutoPlay Next for YouTube (Firefox link)

• (optional) Privacy-heavy focus. Caution: Having these extensions may lead to some sites breaking – they are not necessary for most people.

  • Privacy Badger
  • CanvasBlocker (Firefox)
  • Cookie AutoDelete (Firefox)
  • AdNauseam advertisement & tracking blocker/obfuscator – if you use decide to use this, probably deactivate the others including uBlock Origin

• (optional) Dark Reader

Nature

Ever visit a zoo and notice any smells, e.g. in the ape house? That’s a part of nature, of course.

It’s just we’re trying to avoid that.

A system which necessitates or otherwise helps create single-issue voting damages democracy*

Technically, she got more votes (edit due to being unclear: than Trump, in 2016). And not by a little, nearly 3 million people more voted for her over orange anti-republic anti-democracy man. But the voting system is unrepresentative, so it didn’t matter.

If you think it’s crazy Biden called Zelenskyy Putin, wait till you hear about the time he got his doctors name wrong, confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi and said Viktor Orban was the leader of Turkey…


Wait, that was Trump. 
Morons and hypocrites everywhere.

Und Trump ist verurteilter Straftäter.

Ich frage mich schon ein bisschen wer sich aktuell von dieser Biden-Demontage-Sabotage als Profiteur sieht bei den Demokraten und “links” ausgerichteten Medien wie NYT, und warum.

Jegliche Alternativkandidatur ist doch chancenlos, oder? Empirisch hatten Amtsinhaber so gut wie immer die besseren Karten als Herausfordernde der gleichen Partei…

Heißt nicht dass Biden der perfekte, kritiklose Kandidat wäre. Dafür ist er mindestens mal 30-40 Jahre zu alt.

Is voting participation that low?!

Honest question, since I have no clue about web/browser engines other than being able to maybe name 4-5 of them (Ladybird, Servo, Webkit, Gecko, … shit, what was Chromium’s called again?):

What makes browsers/browser engines so difficult that they need millions upon millions of LOC?

Naively thinking, it’s “just” XML + CSS + JS, right? (Edit: and then the networking stack/hyperlinks)

So what am I missing? (Since I’m obviously either forgetting something and/or underestimating how difficult engines for the aforementioned three are to build…)

Use TextEdit for .txt and .rtf, and get Sublime Text, VS Codium, or any of the other bazillion IDEs out there until you find one you can tolerate. Helix does that for me. (:

Someone break this word down for me

Hilfe leistungs lösch gruppen fahrzeug

(technically i’d need to add capitalization and dashes when separating into full nouns)

help giving exterminating groups’ vehicle drive thing (as others in this thread have noted)

Das Hilfeleistungslöschgruppenfahrzeug der Feuerwehr […]

The aid-providing fire-fighting vehicle of the fire department

Es transportiert Feuerwehrleute, Leitern, Werkzeuge, Schläu[che…]

It transports firefighters, ladders, tools, hoses

Not gonna lie, it’s a bit over the top. Feuerwehrfahrzeug (fire dept’s truck) would’ve sufficed IMO. Nobody not working as a firefighter (and arguably not even all of those who do) knows let alone uses that long-form word.
