That coffee and alcohol thing only happens in certain tabloids and other trash media. Both have positive and negative effects on your health depending on how much you drink of it. Having a little is fine, drinking it 24/7 is not.

I still have a BQ E5 Ubuntu Edition laying around at home. Still waiting for any other distro to support it, despite Ubuntu Touch.

Some people seem to think that if humans aren't special, then they will be treated like animals. Which is quite ironic, if you consider human history.

I think you're confusing a Crypto with NFTs. One is virtual money, the other is virtual certificates.

Yeah, i guess the tooling around it got way better. No need to download scripts from hundreds of websites. Just npm install and off you go. I'm just not a huge fan of SPA in most cases. I had to commute a few years ago everyday and it

I once worked in a company that distributed an APK via mail to the customers. It was a customized app, and still in development. "How to install" was a regular question.

Damn, that's nice. In Germany it's enough to have the intention to make money outside of regular employment. You won't pay taxes until a certain amount is reached, but you'll have to get a business license and fill out t

I've blocked entire accounts, because it kept coming back every time i searched for something specific. It was one of these "10 best <xyz>" channels. Really annoying.

Maybe it's just me, but i somehow doubt that insects will ever become mainstream. I think plant based food will be on the rise long term. Especially with the possibilities of vertical farming, which i think is inevitable. The lab-grown

I accidentally deleted a printer from the printserver by using a python script. The docs weren't exactly clear, so i thought it would only remove the local printer connection. After reading this post i feel better now. My fuckup wasn&#

I think we are too many to go entirely extinct. Our ancestors survived an ice age, after all. We may go back to the stone age or at least middle age level of tech, but the species itself will survive. As long as the surface of earth is some

I may not be a international law expert, but this looks like a stretch. A very wide one. With some strange interpretations of the articles.

That's the problem, yes. I fully agree with your point. Just wanted to add some observations. Every community needs some form of "censor", or as we called it back in the day: "moderator". Just to keep things civil.

Twitter usually doesn't "censor". Its system seems automated, so a certain amount of reports can lead to deletion.

Those "opinions" are heavily inflated by bots and other fake accounts. I've observed this behaviour around 2012 on Youtube comments, where the usual tinfoil nutjobs kept running several accounts at once and artificially upvot

They're all in the EU, so it would invoke the EU defense pact as well. As we can see right now, our stuff seems to be decent enough to scrap those ancient soviet rust buckets. Also don't forget that France has the Nuclear Reset Bu

This actually makes sense. One of the sales agents in the company i work for is Dutch. He can speak German, but he mixes several words in that sound kinda English or are maybe Dutch. I'm still able to understand him good enough, so i c

I've learned some Czech about 10 years ago. Not much left, since i didn't need it that much (yes, shame on me), but i actually understand several words. Nice. Now i wonder if something like this exists for germanic languages.

Finland and Sweden are EU countries. Attacking them would invoke EU defense treaties. I really hope Putin isn't that stupid.

Same in German: "Weißwaren" also translates directly to white goods. I think it's amazing to see the similarities in languages.

The ads aren't a problem with some adblocking extension. What is more annoying is the "Trends". I keep getting way too many artificially inflated political keywords thrown at me. I tried to avoid that by following primarily n

I'd say actually checking them is already a basic expert move. Most people don't even know about geotags, and certain groups don't even care.
