Aparently they were owned by a company based in Munich (germany) even before this? Definitely still better than WhatsApp but it does leave a sour taste.

Fair enough. Then it must have been the same dude who decided all the other words with random pronounciations. If you find them, tell them to go fuck themself.

English is the LAST language that gets to complain about how you pronounce stuff. Ever read an english word that you haven’t heard before? You’re pronouncing it wrong.

You mean serious farmers and construction workers are better off with an american style “truck” (60% comfy family and passanger space, 40% bed for your construction stuff) than with a van or a “classic” truck (two seats and a big bed for all your stuff)?

The robots are a problem, but luckily we’re not into the hepamegaquintogilarillions… Yet.

I was always really bothered when people are talking about that “head transplant”. Is that not more of a “full body transplant”?

Fuck… I was squinting so hard up until I read that last sentence.

I believe the joke is that they just calculated “how old would they be now?”. Ignoring death and all that…

There are some amazing oil paintings of waves where you can see the light scatter below the surface of the water (subsurface scattering for my CGI nerds) and I always found it so amazing that you could do that “by hand”. These waves here are… Not that.

That’s enough budget for a whole ass R&D project and team. Can this ring shoot lasers or steer a helicopter or something?

Absolutely. The short version: Chest freerzers are way more efficient because the cold air doesn’t “fall out” as soon as you open them.

Going for the whole thing, eh?
Not even just the “symbol version”. I don’t like long nails but one has to appreciate the artistry here.

Wasn’t there some weird political fuckery in Munich as well, where the Microsoft HQ just so happened to be set up and pay their taxes in Munich once they switched back?

I don’t see a link in your comment for some reason. I can just search for the name online so thank you for providing it. Just wanted to let you know. ;)

“The most sustainable phone is the one you already have”. But if you need a new one anyway, go for it. I’m really happy with my FP4.

As we learned from trump during covid: If you don’t look into a problem it does not exist.
It’s a fact!

I agree with so much that has been said here. VLC, Linux as a whole (or GNU/Linux, of course) and many more. Obsidian is sadly not open source but its free and it’s absolutely amazing!

What I haven’t found yet is a FOSS (or even just “free as in beer”) replacement for MS Project. I want to plan out a top level view of what we have to do as a team to reach some goal, assign multiple team members to one “task”, allocate a set amount of their time and see at what times we might be over or under capacity. The FOSS planing tools I’ve seen mostly work in “shifts” or let you assign one task to one person. But we’re in R&D and if I plan for 40 hours of “conceptual work” over the span of a month and assign Sarah and Steve to this with 20 hours each I don’t want to babysit their shifts. They will do the work when it suits them.

The only one I’ve seen that could do what I need is ProjectLibre but the FOSS desktop version has been abandoned a while ago and is still very buggy.

Sorry for placing this here but maybe someone knows something…

Was looking for this comment. Was not disappointed.

“Ceparoo” is indeed a great state!
Also I like that it settled the dumb “Gulf of Mexico” thing. I think we can all be happy with “Martnla”.

Absolutely!
