License? I never mentioned licenses.

Selling drugs is illegal because drugs are illegal. If a OS without age verification is illegal, then (depending on how stupid the laws are) having a site where you can download such a OS could also be declared illegal.

Basically force all providers of OSs to include verification or block downloads to those states, or face fines for “distributing illegal software”.

I am saying, if they are stupid enough to do X they might be stupid enough to try the even more stupid thing to achieve X.

So all of these posters and posts about posters and websites are all just a viral marketing campaign for this band?

At least it is entertaining

They will make it so that “allowing users from California to download the OS (or code) from you is already a crime”. So for example canoical will have to geoblock californians from downloading ubuntu and any peer-to-peer downloads will be illegal anyway because fuck you.

It could also be solved in any other way.

Everybody puting the toilet upside down. Everybody going outside and not having a debate anymore. Everybody outing the seat up. Everybody getting a seatles toilet.

The “everybody agreeing one one solution” is the thing that ends the debate and not what the solution is.

The math might be correct it just doesn’t reflect what it says. Its 20min saved compared to going all of the roads at the speed limit all the time.

So every time you slow down (because of trafic, a red light, a crossroads or for any other reason) the app will calculate you as going slower and “loosing” time. Of course you couldn’t actually have gone the speed limit in those situations but the app can’t know that. It actually can’t calculate the time you saved.

But I can’t find the app on fdrois so I can’t check.

Because somewhere on their side they have a synchronization process that runs periodically every 10 minutes. If you click the link directly some of your information will be sent to a system that doesn’t yet know the link has been sent because it wasn’t synchronized.

Complete failure of design but from an IT standpoint it is understandable.

I stopped scrolling out of spite!

That is litterally the whole point of the post

Yes! I’d love ethical personalized adds. Show me exactly what I am looking for, when i want to look for it and nothing else ever. In get to see way fewer ads and the advertisers have to pay less because they have to show fewer ads.

But as long as collecting and holding my data is done by capitalism it can never be a positive thing and has to be avoided at all times.

Love the series and especially this interview. The “how do you know so much about vegetables? Have you got an allotment?” is just so fucking smart.

It has since developed into a full voxel engine, supporting community made game modes and modpacks

Thanks, that’s exactly what I was talking about. What does that mean? Its a Minecraft clone?

What actually is this? The Website is rather unhelpful. Its just a Minecraft clone?

Some things should be 100% outside of the control of developers. Zooming in/out and selecting/copying/pasting text are my main issues. You have no right to decide I am not allowed to copy the text from your site. Fuck you. It doesn’t protect shit. You sent the text in a HTML file to my computer and then dare to tell me i am not allowed to copy it? I can read it on my screen. I can type it myself. I can use OCR to have a program read it for me. I can open the source code and copy it there. All it does is make your site awfull to use!

I thin it should be like this: the system defines something like 10-15 main colors (text, text background, foreground, main accent, highlight bright, highlight dark …). All programs are designed in terms of those colors. Designers don’t put “green here, black there” but “main color here, highlight there”.

But they also have the option to recommend the user a app specific color set that can either be applied to that app only or system wide.

By default every app uses their own recommended theme unless the user has set the option to override app themes with the system theme.

I’m not gonna eat a steak made from my mother’s flesh even if it is tasty.

Also 90% of art is the backstory, that’s what makes the paint on the canvas art and not just pigments applied to fabric.

Few Years ago I read an article like " study finds you can get self driving cars to crash by throwing a human shaped pupped in front of them". I was like, yeah no shit that also works for humans.

For smaller (indie) studios it can make sense. If the game costs more money to developed than the developer has, preordering is indistinguishable from crowdsourcing like kickstarter. It removes the need for the developer to take a loan and investors, possibly giving up creative freedom.

Anything backed by a (big-ish) publisher should never be preordered!

Lots of Germans defending German cuisine, so as another German: you are absolutely right!

Germany has some great food and some Germans love making good food but German culture is absolutely not about food. The food culture we have is a development of the last ~40 years. Traditional German food is supposed to make you sated so you can go back to the fields and work! And the go to the army and fight! And then go to the ruins and rebuild!

Tasty and awesome food? Yes! A culture that tells you it loves food? No!

Yes. “PhD” level intelligence. Not PhD level intelligence. The quotes are part of the word. They are not optional.
