If it has a throttle, it's a moped by definition of EU law. I'm just highlighting, that yes, the paper does mention pedal assist, but elektrek is a website with an agenda (selling more electric bikes and cars) and while they highlight pedal assists vs throttle on their article as well somewhere between the lines, the headline is clearly meant to catch people thinking they are good by riding a throttle "ebike" in North America.

Not on mopeds where all you have to do is pull the throttle. Don't kid yourself.

That's like saying BNC in public during the 90.

Adding offers manually used to be a thing back when we had physical cards, before the modern app came around. They just reverted convenience.

And now that you are boycotting Microsoft and cancelled your Xbox game pass, you won't even have to do that any more. Right?

His personal life section on Wikipedia doesn't look that good. But obviously he seems to have turned his life around. I wish to hear more of him.

This guy is clearly snooping the downvoters as an instance admin and retaliating against them. Wouldn't even have noticed if I didn't stumble onto the modlog in Voyager by accident.

I might be of course wrong in my assumption. But I don't remember ever interacting with anyone from that instance, I'm not subscribed to those communities and the dates correlate.

It sounds like the problem is not with the feds but with the DMCA. It needs to be overturned.

I did it! I did it over the long weekend. Been using Windows since 3.1 (albeit only switched fully from MSDOS when Windows 2000 came out).

I did a test run on my laptop during time away from home/desktop over the summer, using Linux Mint, to see if I can do work and school on an unfamiliar system exclusively. On Mint I never had to open the terminal and everything worked right out of the box. Cinnamon is very similar to Win10 too. Heck, I can't even remember the installation procedure, it was so hands off and easy.

After two failed attempts of Arch on the same laptop, I've managed to install it with help of archinstaller on my main desktop. No idea what I'm doing, but I got it up and running to a state where I can do both work and school.

FUCK Windows and the constant nag it does everywhere. Good riddance.

Peter Falk as the detective Lt. Columbo in the eponymous show. The premise of the show was always a murder investigation. But the murder was always revealed to the audience at the beginning of the episode, so the plot of the episodes focused on how Columbo was able to figure out the perpetrator. He always asked seemingly unimportant questions and often had the catchphrase "Just one more thing" right before he'd seemingly give up further pursuit on a target. Besides the crimes being perpetrated at the beginning, Columbo was never really involved in any chase or fight scenes, always just using wits and sharp dialogue to solve the mysteries.

This four panel plays on that, stopping the rampage of Godzilla with a seemingly inane question, that would likely lead to its eventual arrest after admitting to their wrong doings and turning themselves over to law enforcement.
