Ah yes, the talking that worked so well to stop the Nazi regime in the 40’s. The good old World Debate II, won by the allies by convincing Adolf with sharp insights. How could we ever forget.

Yeah I assumed they would be centrally managed, but they are not apparently. So then I don’t really see why they would get a time extension to be honest. You could easily game that then and just fake it crashing.

Fair enough, but if it was at work or something you can at least say, ‘eh at least I still get paid’ Here you have no recourse options.

edit: Having read the translation now. It seems the students do have a choice in which software suite they use. So I guess they did have a recourse. So in the end it was their own responsibility. I guess it was a good lesson then.

It sounds insane to me they would use a suite where they have no control over its state… Can’t they at least block the updates? Just imagine you’re a student and your success depends on the incompetence of others

Yeah that was probably the wrong decision, following their mantra. But personally it doesn’t bother me too much. I’m pretty happy with it

Jesus no! You don’t deal with mental health patients this way! You should have started a dialogue and keep him occupied until he calms down and possibly comes out himself. And if he doesn’t you break down the door, step back and reevaluate the situation. Not just barge in and shoot him.

Well maybe, but I still don’t think you should assume of cops they react this way. They should have been trained in deescalation… Not shoot at the first sign of a threat. Also I think you should turn the blame around. The cops knew what they were called in for, so should have entered with more care.

Who are you kidding? They would shoot the blind man because he would be approaching with a stick like weapon

Eh? Is it really just normal over there to assume the police is this incompetent and are basically just hitman on call? Because this is not at all what I would expect when I call the cops. Blaming the parents, that’s just massive victim blaming…

So a fairphone? Though it doesn’t provide wireless charging I think.

It’s in the image… % of citizens regularly facing package theft. Though that’s still pretty vague. How regularly is regularly? Seems incredibly high still.

Almost like it’s some kind of coincidence!

Ah yes, the Sony ‘security’. Too bad then. I still remember the rootkits they installed with music cd’s. I’ve yet to buy anything Sony since then… Guess I’ll continue doing that.

Thanks for the clarification.

So I might be out of the loop. But I was curious to buy this game. So I wonder, what is the actual ‘official’ reason/benefit of linking to PSN? And would this introduce another launcher on PC? That would be a no go then as a launcher is usually the first thing that fucks up on proton/remote play. Although I assume there already is a launcher…

If the company is reviewing people on that metric, every manager should be fired for grand incompetence. I rather wonder if the driver himself doesn’t have a side business where he picks up trash for cheaper/free for friends. And to correct the number of how much kilos of garbage he’s hauling, he notes a few customers as overflowed. That way the numbers add up again.

Eh alles weer van de overheid/gemeente maken is ook niet perse de oplossing. Kijk naar de situatie in België. Het OV daar is om te huilen zo slecht, en de plaatselijke dorpjes hebben vaak praktisch gezien geen OV verbindingen. Maar natuurlijk wel raar dat gemeentes niet kunnen aanvullen waar het nodig blijkt.

Ik weet niet wat precies de oplossing is, maar een soort van middenweg lijkt me het beste. Daar waar het rendabel is laat het door de privé sector doen, en anders moet de staat/gemeente kunnen bijspringen op een manier.

Now I want to see Magnus Carlsen come in clown shoes at the next FIDE event. I wonder what they will do then.

I’m envious! They at least try. My mom usually buys something new, continues to use the old one till it breaks or not at all (if I don’t intervene). Because attaching a hdmi cable and power cord is too much hassle to even start thinking about. I’ve only last week connected her old cd player and amplifier that was still standing there after she moved 3 years ago. I would do it sooner but she even hates it when I start doing. Oh and not like she’s actually going to use the audio equipment… Radio on the TV sounds just as good, obviously… Ah when she was moving I discovered she had a whole new stereo set still in boxes that she never bothered to even unpack! You know, in case the one she wasn’t already using died or something…

Having free speech has nothing to do with having no consequences to what you say. Sure In some instances there might be overreaction and especially companies prefer to be on the safe side of social discourse. The issue there is not free speech but workers rights (in the US at least). But that does not limit your free speech, you’re still free to say and publish it. But nobody is required to actually listen to it, or publish it for you. Just because we are free to say what we want, does not make all opinions equal in worth.

You can easily request a free domain through services like duckdns.org. Might not be the prettiest domain name, but for these purposes it’s fine.
