While there are measuring cups, they aren't a set of cups of fixed volume, like American measuring cups, but rather like beakers with markings on them.

Our baking recipes are also based on the mass of ingredients rather than volume, which frustrates me whenever I see US-based recipes who call out for the "cup" measurement instead of mentioning the amount of grams one needs.

On another post where a web comic showed similar artifacts, I also asked the same question - and concluded that the comic's resolution was "enhanced", either by the phone itself (when they saved it from their source) or by a (re)poster. So I think that here it's the same thing - AI """enhancement""".

Beware, it's a fake site, the real aniwave sites were subpoena'd a while back.

Not so in Germany, where you can be hit with charges by the company. In one famous case in 2021, the conservative party pressed charges against a data researcher, after she responsibly disclosed a massive data leak via their party app. After the court determined, that afromentioned data was insufficiently secured, those charges were dropped.

This proved to the tech-side in Germany, that responsible disclosure just harms yourself in the end and that German companies (and political parties) might as well go fuck themselves.

Agreed. Even though I dislike Eyeo's practices as well (letting the ad companies pay for whitelisting their ads), it's a better outcome than outright banning ad blockers (or if Axel Springer had gotten their ways, "light" web-browsing via reader modes would have been turned illegal as well)

Axel Springer tried again recently, arguing that ad blockers "infringe copyright by altering HTML elements on their sites", and Germany waits, because a similar lawsuit happened in Luxembourg which will be settled on the European level.

Another article, where they tried the exact same thing two years ago: https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/landgericht-hamburg-ueber-adblock-plus-springer-verlag-verliert-erneut-a-5e058ee7-e0fa-4f0e-aa10-d95d9cfad654 (also in German)

(Also it's not a constutional right (Verfassungsrecht), since it wasn't the BVerfG that ruled in the first case (they tried to get them to rule, but no response was given), but a civil case ruled in the first instance by the BGH, after the local courts told Axel Springer to get bent)

(Edited: Added more context)

That's exactly it, Bazzite, a distro associated with gaming, running on hardware that even at release was criticized for being "landfill fodder".

I currently use endeavourOS and I am happy with it, due to it being "just Arch with some wallpapers and optional extras".

I am open for more though, even if it's just for trying out :)

Yep, fell for the same trap (minus the marriage, but lived 3.5 years of literal hell instead), and that bullshit shapes you more than everything.

The worst part is being accused of being unempathetic, even though you put almost everything aside for them, just to be met with hatred when you inevitably set them off again.

Brother, I hope you are now in a better place in life. Stay frosty :)

As someone who does ride, I understand your perspective, but your proposal of banning motorcycles on weekends and public holidays would be only doing one thing: letting the rich fucks ruin your day on a weekday with their bobbed Harleys and tough-guy cosplay, while working-class people, who picked up the hobby, would yearn even more for fascism, because "tHoSe lEfTiEs wAnnA bAn eVeryThiNg".

But noise control - yes, please. You are on the streets, not on a track.

I fully agree. Why do I have to install gnome-tweaks just to make the UI usable?

systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

That will reboot to UEFI setup instantly.
