i code using a german layout and to type any kind of bracket you have to use a modifier key and a number. its awkward, but i am to lazy to switch between layouts and sometimes work on machines where i can’t change the layout easily.

python is quite nice to programm on a german layout, because it tends to have fewer braces than other languages.

tl;dr: german keyboard layout “hides” many symbols on a second layer beneath the number row which makes it awkward to use for many programming languages.

on first glance it seems like the affected packages are not something someone outside of redhat would use, so i guess the fallout of this will be more interesting than the infected packages themselfs.

PS/2 was the standard connection type for mice and keyboards for a pretty long time.

Film:

Salem’s Lot von 2024, Verfilmung des gleichnamigen Buches von Stephen King. War nicht gut, irgendwie passiert alles zu schnell und gruselig war nur

Die Darstellung der Figur Matt Burke hat mir noch gut gefallen, aber ansonsten ist der Film einfach nur aggressiv mittelmäßig.

Life of Chuck eine weitere Stephen King Verfilmung, wie die Kurzgeschichte ist der Film ebenfalls 3 geteilt. Der hat mir richtig gut gefallen, geht um das Leben eines tot kranken und trotzdem schafft es der Film(und die Kurzgeschichte) eine insgesamt schöne und positve Geschichte zu erzählen ohne kitschig zu werden. Definitiv eine der guten King-Adaptionen.

Video-Spiele:

Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core ein Coop Horde Shooter, vergleichbar mit Left4Dead, aber ohne Versus Modus. Ist im early access, was bisher da ist gefällt mir gut, aber ich hoffe das die Gegner und Levelgenerierung noch abwechslungsreicher werden, sonst taugt es nur für ein paar lustige Abende mit Freunden. Empfehlen würde ichs im aktuellen Zustand nicht, aber definitiv ein Spiel, dass man im Auge behalten kann.

Path of Exile 2, ein Action RPG wie die Diablospiele, großer Fan, neuer Patch sieht sehr spannend aus, ich hoffe ich hab Gelegenheit mal wieder einen Charakter bis ins Endgame zu bringen.

aber wieso ist “Lackaffe” als Bezeichnung für den Kanzler mit dem gläsernen Ego nicht genauso zulässige Machtkritik?

und ich dachte, das ist der drang dinge über Kanten zu schubsen.

die frage nach dem Datenaufkommen ist immer spannend und ich hab selten erlebt, dass da ne passende Zahl zurückkam, und deswegen plant man halt was funktioniert, wenn der Kunde eben doch viel mehr Daten produziert als er dachte, weil Zeit das zu untersuchen ist nicht und wenn doch, dann wirds nicht bezahlt.

there are many possible reasons for that:

• she might have thought that the general critic on gender roles is allready enough for the reader
• she saw singular “they” as something for written or formal language and not everyday talk, which is what most of the dialogue in the book is.
• she was not happy with “they” since it can lead to confusion around singular and plural or did not see it as better alternative than a generic masculin pronoun for someother reason
• she simply did not use “they” that way when she wrote the book.

I sadly don’t own the anniversary edition, so i don’t know if le guin elaborates further on that. It’s definitely valid criticism however.

e: english grammar hard.

In the afterword of the 25th anniversary edition of the novel, she stated that “The Left Hand of Darkness is haunted and bedeviled by the gender of its pronouns”, and that she no longer believed that the masculine pronoun in English is generic, as she had when she wrote the book.

From the Wiki-Article about the Book

she used masculine pronouns as generic pronouns, which is still often done.

I guess it’s a product of it’s time in that regard, simmiliar to Tolkiens use of “Men” in Lotr being read as “Humans” in many cases when it was first published.

there was 3rd?

is it as good as 1 and 2?

falls du bisher keinen Therapeuten/Ansprechpartner hast an vielen Unis gibt es eine psychologische Studentenberatung, das ist ein guter erster Anlaufpunkt für viele Themen.

Ansonsten: fühl dich gedrückt, depressionen sind mega kacke.

some knobheads enjoy a natural patina.

lots of growth during covid that could not be sustained => many, many layoffs to prop up earning statistics in the following years.

the 1983 crash was mostly a home console crash, which was a bigger market in the US than in europe, but i guess it really sucked for console devs there, and the famicom took two years to be released outside of japan as the NES.

e: [youtube] tim cain has a video on his channel where he talks about his perspective as a developer during the time

the difference is that wotc won’t give you anything for your magic cards, but you can directly sell skins on steam and actually buy something with it, which from my understanding gives the skins direct, and sometimes really high value, which might make this actual gambling, simmiliar to how you exchange your chetons in a casino.

wotc and other simmiliar companies skirt around that by not acknowledging that a second marekt exists and not participating in it.

but i am not a lawyer obviously.

it’s the only difference i see to other loot boxes or trading card games.

thats my understanding of it and if valve loses this, they’ll introduce gabe bucks to buy boxes and keys with and nothing meaningful will change.

only on a secondary market in which those companies don’t participate. it’s a paper thin line which keeps trading card game booster packs from beeing gambling in a legal sense

man kann auch lecktücher draus basteln!

wobei die gefahr ohne penisbeteligung wohl deutlich geringer ist.
