‘Orphaned by decree’: Italy’s same-sex parents react to losing their rights

They sure have Nazis in Ukraine as has every country.
But saying that the fascists in Italy have anything to do with Ukraine needs very good evidence to support such a wild claim.

What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?

I'm mostly with you except for the determinism. Not only do we KNOW that the universe is fundamentally probabilistic and not deterministic, all our technology works extremely hard to combat random errors because small electronics are absolutely not deterministic, they are just engineered to have a low enough randomness so we can counteract it.

Holy shit one week? How is anyone supposed to recover after something like a C-section? My wife needed nearly a month afterwards to be able to walk normally again...

Google has a VPN service now
I'm super confused by the FUD spread in nearly every comment here.
Pretty much every argument boils down to "we don't trust google does what they say", which is funny because I'd like to challenge anyone to provide evidence that google actually sells any of your data. They sell advertising slots that they promise will find the right people, but your data never leaves google. No advertiser gets to see it.
This VPN service promises and has been independently audited to never log or analyze your traffic and even has built in provisions to anonymize your traffic within Google so they can't reconstruct it.
So apart from the questionable assumption that google is blatantly lying, what's the argument here? Apart from maybe missing some popular VPN Features like country selection.
Also this is for people that already pay for Google storage anyways, so I don't see the problem for the intended target audience, it's sticky an improvement in privacy for them and they get it for free. It sure as hell beats getting your traffic intercepted and ads injected into random http pages like some ISPs do.

Look for Chinese restaurants where the Chinese go eat.
Most regions in China eat very spicy, just ask the waiter for something extra spicy like the Chinese eat it and they'll give you something amazing.
Where do you live in Germany? Maybe I can recommend something.

Pixel 4a (not 5G) owners, what do you plan to do with your phone now that it reached its final Android update?
Reply in thread
That's actually exactly what they did and the reason that the new pixels (starting at 6) get 5 years of support.
It's not much but it's a start.
The whole effort is called project treble and has been underway for a loooong time. But it's really hard because it affects every single Android vendor.

Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
Reply in thread
Honestly by far the best subscription I have.
13€/month to never see ads on any device, give a lot more money to creators and free access to YouTube music so I don't need Spotify anymore. It's amazing how much you get for comparatively little money.

If your backups are online and not in a warehouse, you are doing it wrong. Even my own personal backups are on disconnected disks. What a bunch of amateurs.

Which is completely fair to say but does not mean that people here should shit on windows users in general. If it works for them, let them do their thing.

What Filesystem?
If you are planning to have any kind of database with regular random writes, stay away from btrfs. It's roughly 4-5x slower than zfs and will slowly fragment itself to death.
I'm migrating a server from btrfs to zfs right now for this very reason. I have multiple large MySQL and SQLite tables on it and they have accumulated >100k file fragments each and have become abysmally slow. There are lots of benchmarks out there that show that zfs does not have this issue and even when both filesystems are clean, database performance is significantly higher on zfs.
If you don't want a COW filesystem, then XFS on LVM raid for databases or ext4 on LVM for everything else is probably fine.

The Chinese government is responsible for the biggest and fastest uplift of people out of poverty ever seen in history.
And they are also responsible for horrible horrible human rights violations against minorites and dissidents and they caused millions of needless deaths during the cultural revolution.
The second fact however does not negate the first one because they did, in fact, pull almost their entire population out of poverty and into a modern industrialized economy.
Please learn to make some space in your head for uncomfortable facts that cause conflicting emotions.
OP was right, they are an extremely successful government with a surprisingly broad support within the population because most Chinese have living grandparents that where still farmers and had no industry at all. And they now live in modern cities with modern amenities. The transformation happened in two generations.

What's the problem with that script? That's such a basic use case and not very hard to do at all in systemd.
Where do you struggle with it? Can we maybe help with something?
