With how absolutely entrenched the CDU is in our political system, this is about as bad as you could reasonably expect it to be. The CDU is an overall incredibly dominant party and the others are often competing for second place, which the AFD has gotten now. Them actually competing on that level is frankly terrifying.

It's likely a difference of emotion compared to logic. Emotionally they'd think "Damn it, now we need to check for such a weird specific edge-case, this is so annoying" while logically knowing it's better the tester caught it.

The same Pinkertons that were sent after some guy who grabbed a few Magic the Gathering cards?

One thing I've found to be useful is just having my browser clear all cookies upon closing. It's initially annoying while you set up all your exceptions for commonly used sites so you don't need to log in again there every time, but afterwards you don't need to worry too much, because once you close your browser, all the useless cookies are gone.

I did not use Photoshop particularly long, but I have been using the Affinity Suite both on a pc and a tablet for over a year now and can say it's definitely quite good. Everything is where you think it should be, the workflow feels very usable with no major learning curve (looking at you, GIMP), and overall the only thing I don't like about it is its lack of Linux support. I would assume that absolute professionals won't be able to find everything they like/want, but if you're reading this, chances are you're gonna be more than satisfied, if FOSS options don't quite work for you.

Well, flexbox and grid have different purposes in my opinion/experience. Personally I use grid for "top level" layouts like the layout of the whole site, while I tend to prefer flexbox for layouts inside the grid. Of course that's just a rule of thumb, there are absolutely cases where this isn't the best option.

I know you meant this sarcastically, but yes, flex is a good option for centering something. Either that or setting the left and right margins of the element to auto, which is generally even easier.

Basically, if you're in a flex container use flex, if you're in a grid use grid, and if neither of those apply set the left and right margins to auto.

I only remember that happening once, but it wasn't some random super small site, it was Uplay. I think the limit was 14 characters, or maybe 16 I'm not quite sure, but either way it was utterly stupid.

That site is lovely, thank you!

As I mentioned in the post, my money budget is around 1000€ as a target, but it extends both up and down. I can stretch if needed, but if that's comically overkill then I'd be happy to go lower. Time budget... not too high, but also not super low. I can certainly spend a day or two setting everything up. Electricity costs are certainly a factor, power prices here were some of the highest globally, even before the extreme increases lately.

Also thanks for the tip of the S3 backup, it's probably a good idea to have an extra copy of important data off-site, yeah.

Hm, the Shorts algorithm should be generally based on your normal recommendations until you start watching them.

You know, potentially controversial opinion, but I kinda like shorts, since by now the algo has figured out that I like longer documentary-style videos on normal videos, but still get vtuber clips and cute animal videos as shorts.

 

Hi, I was here and asked about a few distros already, so here's a quick summary of my situation:

I'm thinking about what distro to put onto my new Laptop, which will be used for University, Work, and just general daily usage. I am currently using EndeavourOS on my main PC and have been decently satisfied, but I want to experiment more. I've already asked if Arch was fine for this situation, to which the answer was a general "Yes, but keep x in mind" and I've asked about NixOS, where the answer was generally a no.

I've been looking around a bit more, and now I'm kind of curious about Fedora, specifically the KDE spin (or i3, I haven't quite decided). It seems to be cutting edge, compared to Arch's (and by extension EndeavourOS's) bleeding edge, and I'm wondering what you all think of it. From what I can gather it has basically all traits which people used to enjoy in Ubuntu, before Canonical dropped the ball on that. While it's not rolling release, the stability improvements and user experience compared to something like Arch, or even a more comfortable fork like EndeavourOS, seem quite decent, but in your experience, does that make up for the lack of the AUR and reduced applicability of the Arch Wiki?

I'm curious to hear about your experiences and recommendations!

 

I've tried shaving my leg hair a few times now, but it takes an hour or two just to get back with stubble within roughly two to three days at most. Also for some reason my skin just can't help get irritated, no matter how much I exfoliate, apply lotion afterwards, all that stuff. Because of this, I've been looking into other options

  • wax seems fine, but having to buy new stuff each time sounds like a pain
  • shaving cream sounds too good to be true, but from what I've read it also really messes up your pores, so I'd rather not

And so I landed on epilators. Since masc hair is a bit tougher though, I'm wondering if any of you have recommendations of epilators that actually do the trick? I've read a few reviews of some and every now and then you see a review along the lines of "I'm a man and it didn't work properly for me since the battery ran out before I was done" and since I'm not on hormones or anything, I assume my hair growth is similar-ish, meaning it wouldn't be much of an option for me either.

So again, do any of you recommendations for good epilators? And if not, do you have any shaving tricks or generally other ideas for how to get rid of leg, or even better, all kinds of body hair? I loved the feeling I had after shaving my legs, it just sucked that it lasted for two days and then I had about a week's worth of leg itching, despite trying my best to do avoid that.

Note: This is all just a random idea I had a few days ago. I am mostly curious about what others think of it. I know it's not gonna be actually implemented anywhere. I wish it was that easy lol


~~Many people here have probably had someone complain to them that "They/Them pronouns are so confusing" while the same person accepts "you" as singular and plural~~.* Well, I propose a partial fix for both. Not in natural language, but at the very least text, because both of those bug me personally, even if just a little. I know any language that sees any actual use is going to be imperfect, but that doesn't stop me from sharing random ideas on the internet.

* Edit: Irrelevant and off-topic. Just keeping it here for archival(?) purposes.


First some background info:

In German, there's actually a similar problem, at least when spoken. It is, however, fixed in writing.

  • "sie" -> "she"
  • "Sie" -> "you" (singular, formal)
  • "ihnen" -> "them"
  • "Ihnen" -> "you" (singular, formal, different grammatical case)

Spot the difference? It's the capital S and I. So, why not take after the British Museum and steal things from a foreign ~~country~~ language?


How to fix this, according to a random person on the internet:

  • "They/Them" -> Singular person with neutral pronouns
  • "they/them" -> Multiple people

And while we're at it, we can also do

  • "You" -> The person you are talking to
  • "you" -> A group of people, or often more importantly, a general you

The Problem:

Sentences. The first letter of a sentence is always capitalized, which brings confusion back. This is a glaring weak spot, but since this idea is never going to be used anyways, I can't be bothered to actually find a good workaround. If You have any ideas though, feel free to share them.


So, what do you think? Is this idea fundamentally stupid, because everything is just fine as it is, or could a solution to imprecise pronouns actually be handy, even if this one is far from perfect?

 

It's not the best, but for my first customization attempt, I'm certainly proud of it :3 What do you all think?
