Non-murder solution:

Place and hold the apples precisely on top of one another. (Make sure your fingers are not in the way.) From one side of the apple tower, go horizontally exactly two thirds of the way to the other side. At that position, cut vertically through both apples from top to bottom. You now have two pieces that are two thirds of an apple each, and two pieces that are one third each. The kid you like best will receive the end slices without the apple core in it.

More realistically, disregard the stupid premise and make as many cuts as you need.

This is something that has been occasionally happening in Europe (at least in Germany, don't know about France) for well over 10 years now. Probably more like 15.

What's sorely needed at this point is much more storage to make this energy available when it is needed instead of when it isn't. Before that happens, you cannot really decommission any gas or coal power plants, because you still need them during times of much less renewable production.

You don't need "AI" for that. All you would need is some standardized APIs for the various shops, and you could easily solve this with computer technology from 20 years ago.

About 20 years ago, Microsoft was found guilty and convicted, because they forced their browser on their users, driving out competitors by abusing their de facto monopoly on PC operating systems. These days, they are doing the exact same thing again, just on an even broader base. I don't even understand how this verdict took so long.

Also, almost all of that is written in C, which is a successor to B, which is a simplified version of the Basic Combined Programming Language. There was never an A.

Do Americans need these giant packs to deal with daily life in America?

Honestly, why would you host a service like that under the Afghani TLD, knowing fully well what kind of country Afghanistan is these days?

"Shut down by the Taliban", sure, because you handed them the switch to shut down for no good reason.

The way I, as another European, understand this, he's flying an anti-oppression flag and a pro-oppression flag at the same time.

The photon UI under photon.lemmy.world does not work for me in Firefox 122 under Linux, showing nothing but blank page when I open it. It works in Chromium and in Firefox on Android.

When I open the developer console, I get the following error message:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: e.moderation is undefined

More people need to learn about yt-dlp and ffmpeg. Can't talk about the seedy anime websites, but youtube-mp3 conversion is so easily done yourself without havaing to visit any virus-pushing sites once you figure out how.

Temperature translation for non-Americans:

70°F ≈ 21.1°C
50°F = 10°C
20°F ≈ -6.7°C

Except of course most of the view out of the window apart from the three circled buildings does not match up at all.

The three circled buildings are the furthest thing you can see out of that window, and in the pic in general, and the thing about far away big things is, you can move around a lot before their visual appearance will start to change noticably.

It seems like what i2p is doing largely overlaps with what tor does. How do the two compare, and why would you use one over the other?
