How do you find alone time?

"They" is completely legitimate to use. "They" isn't non-binary exclusive.
I'm not sure why that should make you uncomfortable.

Today, Reddit forcibly removed me (and everyone else) as mods of /r/iOSProgramming, a subreddit of about 130k users. I was keeping the sub private / NSFW | Tanner B 🦕🧁 (@[email protected])
Sorry you lost your community. That really sucks.
On the other hand, welcome to a new community!

In Norway, laser weapons are being used to remove sea lice from farmed salmon. The Stingray Laser System uses cameras to scan the fish, identify lice, and then deliver a laser pulse to kill them.

They exist in trials. The human danger is too great though I think. If the laser thinks your eye is a fly for a split second, game over for vision.

Why is Germany so prevalent on Lemmy?
Germany is also 2nd for self hosters, after US. According to a self hosting survey.

Germany may introduce conscription for all 18-year-olds
Reply in thread
It isn't just about the military. I've not read the article, but Germany suffers from not having enough people working in social services. This problem got worse after getting rid of conscription. You could either choose military service or social work.
By reintroducing it, they hope to fill in some gaps.

Open source Git repo owners with open licenses, how do you know your code is being used by a big corpo?
You don't.
Unless it is publicised or an obvious bug exists in your code and you see the consequences of it in their system.

Lemmy, AITA for disliking copied content from Reddit in the AmITheAsshole community?
Plus who are you helping? AITA is about engagement with the person involved.
Helping someone not be an asshole, or reassuring them that they aren't.
I don't see the benefit of reassuring a bot 🙃

I built a new PC recently. All I needed to see were the benchmarks over the last 5 years. There's currently no contest.

If money was not an issue, is there a movie, series, or a video game you would fund as a passion project with no intention on making a profit on it?
Wing commander, Freespace.
Games of this genre are completely dead. I'd love another decent mission based space flight game.

I live in Germany, if you have a specific question I can try to answer.
In general there are a lot of stereotypes about Germans, but most of them aren't correct.
Some are slow to warm up to strangers.
Many places only take cash still, though that is slowly getting better.
People do stare, not sure if that is specifically a German thing.
One thing that might be useful for you to know, coming from America. Many Germans get irritated by stereotypical American over sharing.
Be prepared to have your opinions on Trump probed.

What was hacking like in the '80s and '90s?
A few things I remember.
Nobody sanitised their inputs.
You could get through logins by making a database query check whether 1 = 1 instead of a password. You could put JavaScript into guest book fields to redirect people to whatever crazy site you wanted.
My university lecturer told me about a well known supermarket that built a shop front. They made it in such a way that you could change the numbers before they were submitted and it wasn't validated on the back end. So free food.
