  • California's age verification law is proving controversial — here's what you need to know, and why some Linux distros are in the firing line

    Jump

  • We were just talking not about the law itself or how commercial products are affected, but about personal hobby projects and small Linux distros.And for those the effect is negligible (and the law also should be ignored by them, as this will be the most effective form of challenging it imho).

  • British children are growing taller but not for the right reasons

    Jump

  • Body-fat caused hormonal imbalances (mentioned in the article).This also includes estrogen and testosterone, linking it to precocious (early) puberty.And it doesn't exactly cause tallness, but often quite the opposite (as you already mentioned): Affected persons typically are shorter than the norm once grown up.It just triggers growth at an earlier point in life, so the children are taller on average at a certain fixed age.

  • It's kind of funny how we mocked old people for years over mispronouncing "meme" and as soon as they got it right, we came up with "Pepe"

    Jump

  • I am pretty sure that Pepe already was a few years old when I first heard "old" persons use the word "meme" (apart from the ancient internet founding fathers that helped invent memes in the first place).And was anyone seriously mocking them instead of just telling them how to pronounce it?

  • British children are growing taller but not for the right reasons

    Jump

  • The missing line from the summarizing lead:

    The increases in average height are closely linked to rising childhood obesity among poorer children and widening socioeconomic inequalities.

    So the reasons are child poverty and the accompanying unhealthy diet.

    Jump

  • Do you live in California?Then my sincere condolences. But you will figure something out.If not, just ignore this silly stuff.

  • ChatGPT uninstalls surged by 295% after DoD deal | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Can't be the reason here, as the ChatGPT app currently has more than a billion installs on Android alone.So for a 9% try-out-rate it would have taken only about a month for all of the remaining 3 billion Android users to try it and deinstall it.This statistic doesn't make sense in this form or it is missing some further unknown context.

  • ChatGPT uninstalls surged by 295% after DoD deal | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Only the mobile app, and I also don't quite get the statistics... Normal "day-over-day" uninstall rate is given as 9%.Does that mean that the typical half-life of an ChatGPT app install is just ~6 days, as 6*9=54% are deinstalled during that time???This does not make sense.

  • Germany is aging and shrinking much faster than expected

    Jump

  • So, the logical conclusion: raise pensions for the elderly, to be paid by the young that then can afford kids even less and at the same time cut spending on voluntary integration courses, so that even the motivated ones of the young refugees that consider to integrate and maybe stay are put off.Yep, makes sense.

  • Android Security Update - Patch for 129 Vulnerabilities and Actively Exploited Zero-Day

    Jump

  • Will also be released for AOSP within the next 2 days.Seems like one of the next LineageOS updates will be a mandatory one for me...

  • California's age verification law is proving controversial — here's what you need to know, and why some Linux distros are in the firing line

    Jump

  • Relevant lines from the article:

    If you look at the more niche Linux distros, they're run by small teams of enthusiasts who simply don't have the resources to tackle implementing the necessary systems and real-time API — it's just not going to happen. In those cases, as Tom's Hardware notes, their approach is likely to be labelling the OS as not intended for use in California.

    And I don't see anyone in the firing line, except perhaps Californian citizens...

  • Sterben Spinnen, wenn man sie mit dem Staubsauber aufsaugt?

    Jump

  • Mein Beitrag war natürlich ironisch überspitzte Zusammenfassung :-)Ich persönlich achte auch immer möglichst darauf, die freundlichen achtbeinigen Helfer nicht zu verletzen und freue mich, wenn sie da sind!

  • what is with the "I personally" epidemic!?

    Jump

  • I personally use "I personally" occasionally.

    I think it stresses the fact that the statement you are about to make is more deeply rooted in your personal believes and behaviours or even a major part of your personality and not only a random thought that just crossed your mind.

    Also it implies the understanding that you are not talking about something you consider to be a universal truth, but just something related to your person, thereby recognizing that other people might have their own very different personal views.

  • Sterben Spinnen, wenn man sie mit dem Staubsauber aufsaugt?

    Jump

  • Antwort:Normal sollten sie, außer man nutzt die fluffig-sanfte Wattebausch-Einstellung für die Leistung.Und neuere Staubsauger haben ein "Hygieneventil" als Schutz vor dem Entkommen entstellter Mutanten-Spinnen mit Weltzerstörungsplänen.

  • Angst ist das falsche Wort... nervös zittrige Aufregung eher.Bis man reingeschaut hat, kann es schließlich noch sowohl die von Ali Express erwartete Gimmick-Lieferung sein, als auch eine Erinnerung des Finanzamt, bis Ende März die Steuererklärung endlich rüberzureichen...

  • What is your funniest case of misheard song lyrics?

    Jump

  • When listening to a Michael Patrick Kelly song outside of a running car for the first time, it turned out it wasn't a nerdy song about "Beautiful maths", but just another boring love song called "Beautiful madness":-)

  • What is your funniest case of misheard song lyrics?

    Jump

  • There is a famous one here in Germany that everyone gets wrong.The original line being sung: "Es tobt der Hass da vor meinem Fenster", meaning "Hatred is raging in front of my window".What everyone hears: "Es tobt der Hamster vor meinem Fenster", meaning "The hamster is raging in front of my window".

  • hmm

    Jump

  • Where are you from?I can file a lot of the bills for my flat (e.g. things like repairs and facility service) at the tax office, as well as stuff like child care and most of my car's mileage (or my bike's mileage :-) ), to be exempted from income taxing at least (there are still other taxes).Rent money would be fully taxed, though, as well as other cost of living like food and clothing.Country is Germany.

  • Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features

    Jump

  • Dream on...Motorola has continuously been moving headphone jack down to ever lower spec devices.Has been the reason I bought a used G84 half a year ago, as this has been the last Motorola with at least somewhat decent specs to support those. (On top of it, it runs LineageOS really well!).But the GrapheneOS phone will be a high-end-device, so you can probably forget about it...

  • I bought the Murena Fairphone 6 for use in the US - AMA about usage

    Jump

  • How about messengers?Specifically Signal and Threema.Are they still working as expected?This is the biggest fear I have. Messaging is essential, but often seems to rely on google services for real time message push.I am currently using a vanilla LineageOS with basic Google Services and Apps installed because of this fear.
