I updated my sources.list to something non-existing at some point and run sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove once and it also basically uninstalled everything. But that didn't even matter, I popped in a recovery disk and could reinstall everything. Pretty great to be able to do all that with Linux, fuck everything up in an instant but after a few hours everything is back again

I love QR Code menus, especially when you can order through them.

But I hate when restaurants force them on you. Just give me the fucking choice so that everyone can order in the way they prefer.

I couldn't disagree more with you.

  1. There was no preorder
  2. This was a Kickstarter Project where a lot of people backed
  3. For years the devs didn't give a lot of information to the backers
  4. There was a class action lawsuit for scamming against the developers because they just took the money and didn't do anything with it
  5. Now they published something so they can say "here we did something with all of the money" yet it's obvious that what they developed did not take years.

It's pretty obvious that they only published the game in the current state because of the lawsuit. The game is a total scam and they deserve the hate from the people that invested a lot of money when backing. Backing on Kickstarter has something to do with trust. Of course, the project may never be finished and that's okay. But it's obvious here, that they just took the money and did not use it for the game.

I hate Typescript for promising me that nobody can put cyanide on the list, but in reality it disallows ME from putting cyanide on the list, but everyone else from the outside is still allowed to do so by using the API which is plain JavaScript again

I'm still baffled that no sextape of that woman has ever leaked

Actually the story goes different. There was no foot tequila scene planned, but Salma Hayek improvised it. It's possible that with this scene, Salma Hayek started it all for Tarantino and his feet obsession

I live next to this coal mine and the wind farm is on my monthly Autobahn trip right next to me. Maybe to shed some light on the "why":

The coal mine was scheduled to be mined until 2038. The plan was to extend the mine to the west, the wind farm is to the east of the coal mine. RWE of course has big investments into mining this lignite until the very last possible day. There are problems with extending to the west though: old towns still exist there and the residents would of course love to stay in their homes the family had for generations. To the east, where the wind farm is, there is nothing but fields and some wind turbines. There are about 150 turbines in the wind farm and ~15 of them are standing where the mine is extending to now. Those 15 also were the first to be built for the wind farm and they are nearly at the end of their lifespan, some of them are even deemed structurally unsafe.

Of course it would be better to stop mining the lignite but decades ago the contracts with RWE were made and just forcing a company out of a contract that is worth billions of Euros is extremely bad precedent and would hinder future investions. Buying out the contract to cease mining faster also was not possible, because RWE was unwilling to settle for a reasonable sum of money.

Yeah I don't get it. ChatGPT is not "Fair use" and there is no credit given to anyone, it's a solid case against them

I hate Floatplane being tied to LMG right now. The concept of floatplane is great and a competitor to YouTube is much needed

This is the new embedded Twitter post on News sites, not on Twitter directly. That's why I clicked the X, wanting it to go away but I ended up on X and gave Elon a click

Happens all the time for me. It's such a stupid design decision to put it up there (or maybe it's on purpose?)

DEVs do care. As a developer working on something you want to be proud of it. Publishers do not care.

I didnt know what happened, but I knew that I had some problems in the last weeks which I thought I fixed. The rods where to dusty which resulted in the X-Axis skipping. I cleaned thhe rodes and sprayed some Teflon grease on thm, as usual. Maybe something got into the electronics box and the grease isnt as non-conductive as I thought?

So I opened the electronics box, unplugged all cables and checked the fuses. No fuses blown. I checked all important power-traces and all worked fine. I was worried that it really was the last blow for the printer and in my head I already thought which one to get next.

But then I noticed the real problem: On my PC, Home Assistant was open. The selected entity was the zigbee-plug, on which my printer is connected. My cat was sitting on my keyboard. He stepped on my keyboard, pressed the key combination to select the Zigbee Plug and turned off the plug, cutting power to the printer. The beep was the power-failure. The printer didnt turn back on again, because the Zigbee plug was still turned off.

No hurt feelings, but if you ever have a similar problem: check your cats.

Also, here is a picture from the villain:
