Turun, to comicstrips in China shop 2024

In German it’s the elephant who can’t peacefully exist in a china shop lol

Turun, to privacyguides in Google-hosted malvertising leads to fake Keepass site that looks genuine

Yes, because the internet is not restricted to English letters.

Just imagine you had to visit アップル instead of apple.com! And most importantly, would you trust yourself to see the difference that and say プッアル consistently without seeing the real reference?

Just to be clear, I hate it when the browsers hides part of the url too. Show me the https god damn! But internationalization is a good thing, as it makes the internet accessible to more people.

From an outside perspective Trump was a shit show.

I don’t really care about your internal politics, but what I can say is that he had a massive impact on America’s credibility in the world. If you can just leave and rejoin the Paris climate agreement or unilaterally end the Iran nuclear oversight program, why should anyone really trust you on anything?

Joe Biden did a lot to repair this loss in trust, but it’s hard work and will take longer than one presidential period. Much longer than it took to damage your credibility in the world.

Turun, to science_memes in Me too

Shout-out to the PDF reader evince, which shows a preview of the linked part when hovering the link!

Especially useful for hyperlinked images and tables.

Turun, to memes in I've been robbed!

The issue is in your software that displays the capacity (most likely windows).

You bought 2 TB SSD. You got 2 TB SSD. This is equivalent to 1.8 TiB (think of it like yards and meter). Windows shows you the capacity in TiB, but writes TB next to it.

Say you buy a 2.18 yard stick. You get a 2.2 yard stick, which is equivalent to 2 meter. Windows will tell you it’s 2 yards long. Why? I don’t know.

Turun, to memes in literally no clue

I bet that while we have less general pollution and less dumping trash in the environment kinda things, we have developed much more potent insecticides. And if those insecticides do not degrade within a few weeks they will accumulate in the earth and the water.

Edit: Wikipedia about one type of modern pesticides: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neonicotinoid

Turun, to memes in This IS my final form

The 11 stands for the number of arms that have been bolted onto the dog in an attempt to turn it into an octopus.

Turun, to memes in Americans

Yeah, I’d say ~50% are close enough to be considered basically correct.

Rip Italy though.

Turun, to linuxmemes in Every god damn time!

If you want to you can just create a new subvolume, mount it temporarily and move all your files from root to there. Then you need to figure out how to make the new subvolume your root directory upon boot and you are done.

Turun, (edited ) to memes in It's just the most 100 recently saved songs. The fuck.

Every random number is actual pseudo random

No, there are true random sources in a computer. Any outside input can be used to generate randomness. Mostly user input, but temperature fluctuations can work as well, if the sensor precision is high enough.

Also the argument is only correct on a technical level for PRNGs. Choose a 65535 sided dice and make the instructions a thousand steps long and you’ll have a pretty hard time to deduce the instructions from the generated numbers. Not to mention how long the list of numbers needs to be for the attacker to start guessing.

Turun, (edited ) to linuxmemes in Can you install thid 25 year old program?

No offense, but that sounds a lot like apple and Microsoft arguing against freedom of the user.

“Installing an app from outside the app store could introduce a security vulnerability”

“We must have edge installed at all times to provide a good user experience. Replacing such a central part of the operating system could weaken the security of the device”

Turun, to science_memes in really makes you think...

We also exhibit wave-particle duality. It’s just that our wavelength is on the order of 10^-25 m or something.

Turun, to linux in What happens when Linus dies/retires?

when an asteroid inevitably punches through said bus and/or diner.

Or, you know there is a crash? Lol

I’ve never heard it with the asteroid explanation. But thousands of people die every year in car crashes. Most in single occupant vehicles, but a bus can be involved too.

Turun, to memes in Get the boat

I think the main distinction is lactose. And/or the proteins that are present in milk.

While oat milk and consorts can be used in a lot of use cases it’s not a one to one replacement and it’s dishonest to claim it is.

Turun, to linux in Ricing Linux

For what it’s worth I have only ever heard the term used to describe the Linux thing. So for me that is the only meaning.
