Nachtzug goes brrrrrr

Und an dieser Stelle, wieso zum Fick ist der Nachtzug teurer als der Flugverkehr? Wieso wird der Treibstoff beim Flugverkehr so stark subventioniert, Nachtzüge aber gar nicht?

Wie wär's wenn wir statt Asphalt Stahl verwenden. Gut so viel Stahl ist teuer also müsste man ihn auf nur zwei schmale Streifen limitieren. Auf denen die Spur zu halten ist schwer also müssen die Reifen angepasst werden, damit sie in einer Spur diesen Stahlschienen fahren. Aber wenn eh alle in einer Spur fahren, dann kann man doch die Fahrzeuge aneinander reihen...

Ach Mist, das sind ja wieder einfach nur Züge...

Noticed quite an increase in bot posts over on r/titanfall to the point where a retired mod wanted to return to their position to help deal with it. Given that I'm kinda moving away from Reddit I gave them their position back so that I can start moving on.

Convenience for end-users and avoiding link rot is probably one of the reasons.

I just really dislike the whole left/right tribalism. Politics is a lot more complex than left/right and just marking someone as either just increases polarisation...

YAML would such a nice language for config files but then it turns out that "no" is falsy and so a list of Scandinavian countries turns from

• se
• fi
• no

into

• "se"
• "fi"
• False

I wish there was like a JSON5 equivalent for YAML that just reduces its scope lol
(and no, TOML also looks ugly :P)

I can only hope that governments finally take that as hint to explore other platforms (Mastodon *hint* *hint*) for their public service announcements.

ngl, I'm annoyed whenever someone creates an application but doesn't want to publish their code cause it looks bad. Like no one cares that your code is bad and by publishing it, you can get others to help you improve it.

This article is kinda misleading. Nearly 40% of Linux devices is the Steam Deck which is AMD only. Subtracting the Steam Deck AMD usage on Linux more or less matches that on Windows.

See the Steam hardware survey for the numbers that this blog spam article is reporting on: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/?platform=linux

This. I hate the whole left/right tribalism.

Like I know that it can be used to get a rough idea of what political motivations someone might have and I know that where my own ideologies would mostly fall in that inaccurate one-dimensional linear spectrum but ultimately it is too inaccurate to use it to classify everyone's political motivation.

Worse it creates a whole us-vs-them divide. "Oh you aren't right, when then you must be a commie". "Oh you aren't left, then you must be a fascist". So you might consider yourself in a different position on a political spectrum and just see the differences to someone on the other end of a political spectrum even though you might have more in common then you think. Heck, if you are on complete opposite ends you might even have more in common then you think.

Ultimately, the focus should be less on left/right and more on individual policies. Like should healthcare be public or privatized, should be build another road or another train track here, etc

Why does political debate always have to turn into this tribalistic mud fight instead of proper discussion on how to best address the needs of citizens?

While Vaultwarden is great I would not suggest selfhosting your password manager unless you do regular backups. Losing all your password cause your server went down is a great way to ruin your day.

You think they would have just repurposed the page that asked if you if you were over 18 before going to a nsfw subreddit for this task, but old.reddit.com seems completely overlooked as of now.

Doubt it was overlooked. I moderated a larger subreddit and I can tell you that the stats for old.reddit are tiny compared to the rest so it's not worth the cost of implementing. Further if you use old.reddit you probably already have a dislike for the app and will rather abandon the content then install the app. Finally old.reddit is used more by old-school redditors which tend to be the vocal minority that will complain about the change the loudest. So overall, ignoring old.reddit is propably the smarter decision from reddits perspective... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yup, 40% of that AMD share is the Steam Deck.

Type error unless there's an implementation of + that specifies adding together and integer and a string.

Or just use long-forms like

tar --create --file pics.tar ./pics

instead of

tar -cf pics.tar ./pics

or

tar --extract --file pics.tar```
instead of

tar -xf pics.tar

which is honestly way easier to remember... \^\^

I partially get the reason for hiding NSFW content behind a sign up but at the same because it's not stated anywhere, for a newcomer it looks like the instance may just be without content.

It's not just applications. I recently "upgraded" two of my PCs from Windows 8.1 to to Windows 10. Ever since that having the mouse polling rate above like 125Hz and moving the cursor would result in frame drops in games.

This happened across two machines with different hardware, the only common denominator being the switch in Windows version. Tried a bunch of troubleshooting until I ultimately upgraded CPU + RAM due to RAM becoming faulty some time later on one of the machines. That finally resolved the issue.

So yeah, having to upgrade your hardware not because it's showing its age but rather because the software running on it has become more inefficient is a real problem IMO.

This. And even then there should be procedures in place to essentially make it impossible to send the wrong inputs.

It's like when an intern accidentally drops the production database. It's not the interns fault for sending the wrong command. It's the managements fault for not restricting access in the first place.

Personally I like the custom CSS each subreddit could apply but to each their own I guess.

Definitely my iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit. Cost like 70€ but I've repaired dozens of devices with it which otherwise would've gone to waste. Based on that it easily saved me more money than it cost :D
