Just write some content without no soul and not a shred of humanity present. I.e. use the platform as intended.

I have three different calendars syncing using caldav, one on fastmail and two on icloud. When I open the calendar view it's often the case that one or more of these timeout (all of them are afflicted by this), so it seems that these calendars are not actually stored on the server but polled everytime I want to view them.

Are there any alternative integrations that will periodically sync the calendars and keep them on the server? Or can I self-host an app that does this and will never time out because it's on my local network?

A unique fermentation method being piloted in Japan transforms edible leftovers and scraps into sustainable feed for pigs.

You might've missed a detail.

Back in the day, before streaming was a thing, there were lots of people saying that they'd gladly pay for content if it was served to them in a convenient way. But why would you pay for a worse experience (at that time physical media, often at lower quality, and lower availability) when you can get a better one for free?

Along came streaming. Lo and behold, piracy decreased. Where the fuck do you even go to pirate music anymore? All the big sites have shut down. Video piracy is kinda still going strong, probably mostly due to bullshit concerning exclusives, but it's way less than it used to be.

Its their platform, they can do whatever they want with it I guess, but this trend is definitely gonna be a big boost to piracy.

Anything happens anywhere in the world.

well that's fucking dark (and as others have pointed out, misguided - won't solve a thing)

I generally don't understand why people go for the smaller ones at all. I guess it's good that someone does to prevent the whole scene being dominated by a single distro, but with some exceptions (e.g. you hate systemd for some reason and really want systemd-less arch, or you have a super niche preferences). For 99% of distros it makes very little difference which one you use, except that you'll have fewer resources at your disposal (fewer packages, fewer stack overflow threads, fewer everything).

This is what happens when you think you have a story, but it turns out you don't. Image editing apps exist and are getting easier to use, big whoop?

I for sure thought this was gonna be about "AI cameras". Seems all phones nowadays have some kind of software to make the camera seem less shitty, but nope, it's about people making a choice to edit their photos.

I thought France only allowed violent protests to begin with. :)

Doesn't Germany have the strongest anti-racism laws in the world since the end of Nazi Germany? And also the country accepting the most immigrants during the refugee crisis (and among the top counting per capita I think)?

How is it a pain? You just change the origin on your existing project, and new projects you just use the new one to start with.

If a directory has multiple words in it I usually do kebab case: i-like-mine-in-a-way-i-can-read-them-properly. Both easier to read and type than pascal case.

For more complex filenames I use a combination of kebab-case and snake_case, where the underscore separates portions of the file name and kebab-case the parts of those portions. E.g. movie-title_release-date-or-year_technical-specifications.mp4

Reasonable and sane behavior of cd. Just get into the habit of always using lower case names for files and directories, that's how our forefathers did it.
