Go back to kindergarten.

It’s objectively worse than Firefox. For example, Firefox recently passed all minimum security requirements by the German Federal Office for Information Security. No other browser meets them.

First the EPP is center-right, not conservative right-wing.

As far as I can see it, they are conservative-right wing. It’s even clear from the first sentence of the Wikipedia article you posted further down:

with Christian-democratic,[4] liberal-conservative,[4] and conservative[5][6] member parties

Second there’s too much leftists’ bullshit already in EU member states

You mean like those competiveness laws discussed in this post?

that only benefits the USA

Sounds like a conspiracy myth to me. Feel free to elaborate.

Europeans People Party, large political party within the EU which is largely full of conservative right-wing folks with the german Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen at it’s top. She is also currently president of the European Commission and has been known to be involved in corruption and to favour company interests, as well as the rest of the fuckers in the EPP.

So I guess the context is: If EPP stays in power, that’s good for top-business-people, but bad for everyone else. Thereby detrimental for such competitive-practise-laws.

If it works, it works.

I am already happy if there is any documentation at all. And I am euphoric if it doesn’t suck, i.e. sufficiently detailed and up to date.

So I guess Discord is better than nothing. But sure it’s a turn off.

But the interaction of a quantum particle (in the system of the falling tree) with other particles and, on a larger scale, molecules, already represents an observation and information exchange. Therefore, while not 100% certain, it is extremely probable that the falling tree will make a sound. Isn’t it?

The fact that it runs means that it has something delinquent to it. Otherwise it wouldn’t run. Better run after it and catch it. /j

(That was a bad pun and I am not sorry. It’s 3 am here and I can’t sleep. This helped me to burn a minute. Thank you.)

Good human.

If you want to save: :wq

Or :x

Having played Void Crew recently, which just launched into early access and therefore has a lot of bugs, it happens astonishingly often how turning a ship’s system off and back on again - sometimes even the whole ship - “fixes” a bug (it’s more of a workaround).

Me too. Have been programming in C++ since I was 10 years old. The first programming language I’ve learned and the one I still love using today where appropriate for the task at hand.

Pfft. You’re just afraid of pointers.

Most of the time it’s just meaningless gibberish in my experience.

To continue dissecting this, since I don’t have anything better to do right now:

What you do in that time depends. If you drive a faster car, sure, you’ll travel a further distance in less time than a slower car. If you use the same car however, the distance is as meaningful as the time for a symbol of progress. Since technological and scientific advancements in general don’t depend on people driving around in cars, but on people investing a lot of time and effort, I would prefer time as a measurement.

Usually, if we think about scientific, technological or cultural progress, we tend to judge based on time and not on distance. For example, consider some indigenous cultures which live their lifes isolated from the rest of the world. They are often compared to primitive “stoneage”-like cultures. We specifically use time as a measure.

However, I am not completely opposed to agreeing with you. I think it depends on what you want to emphasize. A distance can be useful for reflecting some aspects in which, e.g., a software, takes the lead compared to alternatives. Then again, time would be better suited to highlight very innovative features or significant futuristic advancements which may have groundbreaking qualities.

And if someone is already using “lightyears” as a measure, I think that’s already an amount of improvement which deserves a time-based phrasing.

Anyway, I see good points for both and I am no longer interested in this. Take it or leave it. I don’t care anymore.

Good point. I guess it depends on the interpretation. If you consider that developments take time, be it developments in software, technology, research or whatever, then saying something like “this software is years ahead of its time” sounds appropriate.

That’s how I read the comment. Additionally, given that it’s a common misconception that a lightyear describes a timespan, I felt the urge to be a smartass.

A lightyear is a distance. Not a time.

Ah yes, that’s the linux community as I know it. There is one thing someone wants to achieve and dozens of ways to do it. ;)

Peer review. We know we need it, but we hate it.

There is also a name for these kind of psychological tricks and pressure. It’s called nudging.

I found a small report on this by the EU Commission’s science and knowledge service. https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/bitstream/JRC127856/JRC127856_01.pdf

There are surely even better resources.
