Holzlöffel macht brr.

Ist für Facebook zwar nur Kleingeld, aber für das Geld hätten sie trotzdem einige Sicherheitsarchitekten bezahlen können, also bin ich mal vorsichtig optimistisch, dass die Strafe tatsächlich wirkt.

Krass, immer wieder was von dem MontanaBlack gehört, aber mich nie damit befasst, was der für Inhalte macht, weil’s ja Tradition ist, dass die populärsten YouTuber ziemliche Grütze abliefern.

Aber dass der gleich so ein vulnerables Zimmerpflänzchen ist, hätte ich trotzdem nicht gedacht.

I’ve got some wasps living in the railing of my balcony. They don’t care that I’m sitting there at all…

Eine Luftnummer also, verstehe…

My workplace preinstalls Ubuntu, personally I’m using openSUSE. I don’t even think that Ubuntu is particularly bad, I’m mainly frustrated with it, because it’s just slightly worse than openSUSE (and other distros) in pretty much every way.
It’s less stable, less up-to-date, less resilient to breakages. And it’s got more quirky behaviour and more things that are broken out-of-the-box. And it doesn’t even have a unique selling point. It’s just extremely mid, and bad at it.

The guy is the lead dev of the Budgie desktop environment. Budgie started out kind of reusing components from GNOME, but Strobl has been rather frustrated with GTK and the directions it took with GTK4, for various reasons: https://joshuastrobl.com/2021/09/14/building-an-alternative-ecosystem

(The disclaimer is important, some opinions on what alternative to use changed, but the frustrations with GTK remain.)

The idea for the when-part is that people will have electric cars at home, which can double as a big battery, or as the other guy already said, you can buy dedicated storage, too.

You could also hook these storages up to the grid, and then have an algorithm decide to sell to the grid when electricity is expensive, or to charge from the grid while electricity is cheap, possibly even taking the weather forecast into account.
Definitely still lots of details to figure out, but I expect things to head that way…

It’s often said that probably the biggest challenge with switching over all the cars and heating to renewables here in Germany, is going to be the transport of so much electricity to all the homes.
That’s what I also really like about the balkonkraftwerk, that it produces electricity right where it’s used.

.desktop files are a Linux/Unix thing. Basically, it’s a fancy shortcut, usually to an application, which allows specifying additional infos, like e.g. translated names.
In particular, the contents of the application menu are defined by just a folder filled with .desktop files.

Yeah, solid counterexample. Wikipedia and other Wikis have a clearly defined goal, i.e. collect factually correct information about a specific topic, which is also a goal shared by enough people to drive collaboration.

Another cool example is the Mutopia Project, which basically archives sheet music. Contributors can just pick a piece of music and transcribe that, and they kind of don’t even have to talk to anyone for the project as a whole to benefit.

But then there is lots of examples, like writing a new song, writing a new novel etc., where the goal is not clearly defined, where it’s difficult to collaborate, because what you contribute might not mesh well with what the others provide.

I think, it’s mainly a matter of the works to which Creative Commons is typically applied, being less suitable for collaboration. You might occasionally see remixes, but that’s mostly it.

In the case of open-source, collaboration is what elevates it, and often makes it better than paid-for software.
You rarely see Creative Commons works that outdo paid-for works in terms of objective quality. Heck, chances are that more collaboration happens in paid-for works, because they can hire an editor, a sound engineer etc…

Alright, I have no idea. It’s probably been around ten years since I’ve deleted it.

That prices for photovoltaic are dropping rapidly:

LOL

GNOME 3 doesn’t have desktop icons, if that’s what you mean. And yeah, that version number sounds about right. They used to version it as "3.38”, but then instead of “3.40”, they decided to call that version “40” and continue from there.

KDE is very much the opposite of opinionated. It comes with a Windows-like layout by default, but you can do pretty much any layout you want with it. People rather complain that it has too many options.
I would definitely recommend giving it a try, or at least checking out some videos. It happens a lot that people who dislike GNOME, then try KDE and are completely flabbergasted why that’s not the default.

I would still imagine that has a very different psychological effect. Nobody wants to click a “pay”-button…

Hmm, spannend. Also ja, tendenziell eher leer. Habe zumindest mal meine Kühlakkus wieder wieder in das Kühlaggregatsblech/Gefrierfach gelegt, auch wenn ich die im Winter sonst nicht brauche. Mal schauen, ob das etwas hilft…

Ist leider teil der Mietwohnung. Meine Vermieterin hat auch schonmal von sich aus gemeint, dass man den mal austauschen sollte, aber keine Ahnung, dann hat sie gemeint, dass sie kein passendes Modell gefunden hat, weil das ein mittlerweile unüblicher Unterbau sei, und damals auch wegen Chip-Knappheit.

In meiner Wohnung ist das Wohn-/Schlafzimmer direkt verbunden mit der Küche. Und der eingebaute Kühlschrank ist ziemlich alt, wenn ich raten müsste, wahrscheinlich aus den Achtzigern.

Und ja, Alter, das Ding raubt mir teilweise den Schlaf. Immer mal wieder macht es ein lautes Klack, wenn das Kühlaggregat einschaltet. Und dann rödelt das Teil gefühlt alle viertel Stunde alle 7 Minute für zwei Minuten rum.
Es sei denn, man hat länger nicht enteist, dann sind es gerne mal fünf Minuten. Und das Kühlaggregat ist direkt im Kühlraum als Metallblech verbaut, was wirklich jegliche Flüssigkeit magisch anzieht, so dass man gefühlt alle zwei Monate enteisen muss.

Habe echt schon überlegt, ob ich das Ding nachts ausstecken soll, oder mir tatsächlich wegen dem dummen Teil 'ne andere Wohnung suchen soll.

Edith: Nachdem ich das kommentiert habe, habe ich mal darauf geachtet, wie oft der kühlen muss. Meine Fresse ist das nervig.
