So, whether this is a good or a bad thing hinges on the question of whether they are willing to maintain the code/features they have produced? As it stands, their course of action, even if they are only contributing code for features they want to have, is “better than nothing,” I think? Would it be significantly better if they didn’t contribute anything from the get-go? As it stands, I would stand on the side of “careful optimism” that they will maintain whatever they are building, but only time will tell…

As an Austrian, the fact that they are doing anything sensible at all within the digital world is astonishing to me.

Depends on your country and the law. In the EU AFAIK this would be classified as medical and illegal to query without your consent. And I’ve never heard of anyone who isn’t a doctor getting such a request.

Doctors usually get a ‘required to be vaccinated’ thingy, but else? Never heard of it.

Ah, I accidentally read over that you used free -m.

By top 3 services do you also include any programs ? For me htop itself already consumes 10 MB, what other processes are running ?

Are you certain its actual ram usage and not reserved ? Usually when a program requests huge amounts of ram it is not given it until it actually writes to it. Try running free and check what it says.

… Wild guess, but this looks like ram failure…

You just posted that you were physically abused as a child, no child should ever get back handed.

What of your post is ‘petty revenge you got away with’??

I agree. But if you’ve ever tried to calculate phase shift with imaginary numbers on something that also represents an electrical circuit. Mixing up j and i even if technically they should be easy to keep apart, gets annoying very fast xD

I am A big fan of Vivaldi and its built-in email client ^^ Works like a charm for me.

You may be describing something called ‘Workload paralysis’ which, in short, makes tasks daunting because they seem so hard to start. Usually it ‘leads to’ procrastination, doing tasks instead that are known and easier.

Doesn’t help that modern society tries to make you feel bad for having this parallesis, making it cause this whirlpool of self doubt.

Sadly there is AFAIK only one medicine: start. No matte rhow slowly, no matter how insignificant or pointless it may seem, start. As soon as you spend time doing anything, you will get better at doing it. This counts for all tasks.

Wild guess: your VPN may have a kill switch or other policy that either routes all traffic through tunnel OR kills it outright if it attempts to communicate in any other way. Which may include WiFi direct since its (unsure) an IP protocol?

Maybe I Am just reading this wrong, but I have no idea by the description what this is about. Accessibility, yeah sure, but what’s that about corners and tunnel vision? The blind community? Tunnel vision is an attention phenomenon, not a vision imperative?

I Am confused

I am very reluctant to use WordPress at all because I’ve heard terrible things from multiple colleagues. It looks like something that’d get problematic at some point.

Absolutely general purpose. In the most simple terms, email, password hash, and a bit of metadata

I would be very worried if this was ‘final, and now we will do it as written’ but it seems to be just another iteration.the critique is great and I just hope they listen.

I am not shocked, but i’d save disappointed for when they try to do it and noone uses it because of these reasons.

‘kermits mean girlfriend’ is just such a wonderful description haha

As someone who sees these articles, who should I not vote for? Is there some ranking for ‘most asshole-ish politician’ regarding the EU? I know every politician has somewhat dirt on them but I’d love to know what to avoid since apparently some of those turds are worse than others.

This is what I had in mind as well; If you had to how would you add a beamer to this that could use your jellyfin/plex server?

Ideally I’d want a pi or mini pc behind the beamer that I can switch on/off remotely so that part is not always on

Okay I never knew that, I would also accept tips for setting up a star trek beamer though xD

In general the article seems to be a summary of current legislative actions that are ongoing between big tech and EU. Though in the article it’s worded with the much more fitting ‘game of chicken between EU and Big Tech’ rather than something like the title, but I guess “drop dead has a better ring to it”…

I general the article has a lightly optimistic tone, which I very deeply hope holds true.

Which would also be worse than the events being unrelated. In the simplest case it’d be guilt-tripping ( you owe me!) or at worst some sort of odd blackmail.
