This would actually not meet the criteria of free and open source software if it were real.

except that it really isn't, a correct accent is usually the least challenging and also least important part of learning a new language

In my country there is or was a dating website that for some time advertised with the slogan that they lose customers every day – in pairs.

me 20 years ago: how awesome would it be if all kinds of people were posting on the Internet, not just nerds like me

me in 2026: it's...not actually awesome

I think the study is this: https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/pes/38/3/article-p268.xml

This is linked to in this article about the same study https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000336466/warum-bildschirmzeit-das-gehirn-von-kindern-sogar-foerdern-kann but as that is in German, I obviously posted it only to communities in German, not here.

No. Stop being constructive about this. There should not be age verification on the Internet, at all, period, no compromises whatsoever. People who want it to exist do not deserve that anyone work constructively with them, they deserve only complete and fundamental opposition.

A header that says “user is under 18, no nsfw content” should generally be fine and should be sufficient, or websites could report a tag list like “tag: 18+ reason: explicit nudity” for the client to filter.

Voluntarily, not mandated by the government; and then without actual verification requirements.

praktisch, dass die Bundespolizei das Foto gemacht und weitergegeben hat >:D

aber nur ein ganz kleines bisschen, völlig absurd ist das ja nicht, was da getan wurde

Das hat in Linz (Oberösterreich) auch schon mindestens einmal jemand gemacht; ich erinnere mich, davon einmal ein Video im Internet gesehen zu haben, eventuell findet man es auf YouTube.

In Linz sind (waren damals?) allerdings Betonplatten mit Rillenschienen in den Tunnels verlegt, das heißt, dort kann man mit dem Auto ziemlich problemlos durchfahren.

Buildings that look like this are usually much older than the chains in them. In European city centers, big international chains just set up stores in historical buildings.

There are trees in all of the pictures?!

mentioned in the article:

An analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data by the advocacy organization Unchained At Last estimated that roughly 35,000 minors were married in California between 2000 and 2021, with the vast majority of those cases involving underage girls wed to adult men, the same report notes.

That has a name: narcissism of small differences.

Yes. But was it getting better before that under the Conservatives?!

I think it has happened to me before that I have accidentally pressed that button and then used that feature.

KDE Plasma can be (and by default is) configured to work mostly like Windows, which I have to use at work anyway. I have no interest in having to do things radically differently on different computers I regularly use.

The community is called "no stupid questions", not "completely confusing and incoherent questions".

Dass die Schweiz nicht in der EU ist und man dort somit vorsichtig sein muss, was Mobilfunk betrifft, sollte doch bekannt sein. Vor 2017 war es selbst in anderen EU-Ländern nicht anders. Ich empfehle, wenn möglich, die Funktion allgemein zu deaktivieren, dass sich Geräte automatisch in Netze einwählen, dann kann so etwas nämlich nicht passieren.

Mir ist was Ähnliches einmal auf einem Kreuzfahrtschiff passiert, wo ich mein Tablet in meiner Innenkabine liegen lassen habe und es sich in das maritime Netz eingewählt hat. :/
