Funny: website doesn't properly work on Firefox and Chrome on mobile. So much for FOSS on Mobile Devices

Did you do that, or just theory? I speak of what I do and have.

Who cares as long as the Taycan has marginal whiplash protection due to its seats _at very low_ speeds. Basically unusable. Nobody needs an expensive death trap, as an alternative to a 0 star Renault ZOE. The 5 star Euro NCAP is mostly wort

I'm not a Tesla fanboy, but: have a crash with the Zoe and you will know what cheap crap looks like (0 star NCAP).

There is no benefit using 10 year old Renault parts. What sucked 10years ago doesn't become better over time.

Nope. Mercedes C class models from the 201x years regularly use a lot of lamps. Nobody seems to now why.

I'm so glad I'm living in Germany. 12 months parental leave and three years part-time per child with reduced risk of cancellation and after that the right to do part-time as long as minors are in the household. And 20 days vacati

" The answer is that you would need 39 or 40 decimal places." No, no, no! The answer is 42... 42 decimal places -- sorry couldn't resist.

The more I read it, the more I thought: yeah, good thing. Sponsoring good cause. Why not more? Honestly, I'm the opposite of a fan of past CIA actions -- I thought. If this wants to discredit the NED, I think it does it in a weird way.

This is close to ridiculous. I have to manage both types of DBMS. Postgres never failed, the concepts are harder to grasp and it thus isn't easy to overcome every hurdle immediately. MySQL on the otherhand failed in so many ways that I

To get tinnitus? The last time we tried (again), the sound was overdriven (again) to the point we had all go to the toilet and muffle our ears with toilet paper. Except for small, independent cinemas it has been the same crappy experience f

What discomfort? My children and I go barefoot and T-Shirt while the rooms have 19°C. They are slim and muscular, ideal BMI, so spare me any "fat isolates" comments.

I hate people that speak in third person "we" off themselves. This form of entitlement is more disgusting to me than any snarky comments.

Redarding the market cap of more than a million dollar per sold car: peanuts, way to go!

Maybe reintroducing a free modern amphora equivalent instead of making people pay and forcing them to waste it in a toilet could help?

Indeed. Thread is about Peter Norton and McAfee was only mixed in -- I meant McAfee, my fault.

Funny, we tried probably your solution for imports? urschrei/pyzotero is yours? Failed all the time. To be fair we got a lot of 5xx, so maybe we were just out of luck. Anyway time ran out with that project.

The import via API failed too often.

We tried to migrate a reference library with more than 17k entries, but it never worked out beyond 2k. Sorry to say: might be fine for small personal projects, for anything serious I don't see how.

But, but, but... they nearly reinvented the image based approach with docker? -- with only a fraction of the consistency, but who cares ;-)
