Context for the non-Germans: The CDU has led our government for 16 out of the last 20 years. The CDU leading is not a significant shift. But the pressure that's being put on by the AfD is certainly an issue.

Going to court might result in an official court finding that it was indeed a nazi salute.

A class of 200 students performing much worse than the last class is very unlikely. 200 Students is enough to make even small differences statistically significant.

A single test being much harder than the last test is much more likely, since it isn't an averahe of 200, it's a single datapoint.

That's why if this semester's class performed much worse than last semester's, you can assume it's because of the test, not the students.

Mastodon is tagged with Privacy but Signal isn't? I wonder what privacy means to OOP

My cat likes to jump on my shoulders. When I wear clothes, she uses her claws to keep her balance. But when I'm topless, she doesn't use her claws (and instead awkwardly tries to get down). It seems like she knows that clothes mean I'm protected and that she can use her claws without hurting me.

Windows 11 doesn't even support first gen Ryzen CPUs. The amount of hardware that runs Windows 11 without tinkering is a tiny fraction of the hardware that runs Fedora Workstation without tinkering.

Linux is much better with drivers and hardware support than Windows. Windows only works well if you use the very small subset of hardware it supports.

Do not climb.

Play on and around pipe.

Are you implying that creating porn is unethical?

When I went to college the dot was used for the dot product (scalar product) of two vectors while the cross was used for the cross product (vector product) of two vectors.

Since in this case numbers (read: one-dimensional vectors) are multiplied, the dot product is used, which should be denoted by a dot.

(But really, if I were to write a formula in Latex I would just use the * symbol, too.)

Another upside is the easy permission management.

You can revoke network access from your password manager to reduce attack surface; you can revoke camera access from your chat app to prevent accidentaly enabling it; You can restrict an app's file system access to prevent unwanted changes; etc.

It's not yet fit to protect from malicious apps, but it still finds some use.

This is my medicine bro, I need it for my condition of not being stoned

I feel like the rules are a little different under a post titled "Rate me"

You can leave off your tinfoil hat; the surveys (by many different organisations) predicted this result fairly accurately.

Providing expiration notifications costs Let’s Encrypt tens of thousands of dollars per year

Not doubting them, but I don't understand how that's possible.

Storing the email addresses and expiration dates takes an irrelevant amount of storage space, even if they had billions of cutomers.

Sending the emails should also not cost thousands, even if a significant amount of customers regularly let their certificates expire (which hopefull isn't the case).

So where are the tens of thousands of yearly costs coming from?

We only learn about the ones with defects, because they are the most interesting. Most people in history were fine.

One historic figure who had no known defects: Alan Turing

Dogs and cats are carnivores. We don't eat carnivores in general, regardless of domestication.

The only odd one out are horeses, who we don't eat in spite of them not being carnivores.

There's also the possibility they're just a good person.

You seem like a very relaxed person
