how do you buy stuff online? do you read reviews on the big shopping platforms?

back in the day reviews were a good and honest way to find out if a product is usable. the idea was that normal people do honest reviews and other people can use that as a guidance.

this was probably true for some years, until the system got rigged: users were payed to take bad reviews offline, or users are payed to post good reviews. simple products with good reviews got exchanged with cheap complex products, so the reviews seemed to be for that product.

what you see is one part of this system: a seller is asking you to do free advertisement for them.

hm. i really like the classic design. what design would you prefer?

i think this is the correct question to ask. did you just create ~/.local/bin folder? you can look at the end of ~/.profile that this will only be added to $PATH if the folder exists.

the easiest way is to log out and log in (no restart necessary!)

otherwise you can also execute source ~/.profile and then yt-dlp should be available.

the chmod +x tip from the other comments could also be necessary!

not giving a fuck

still giving to much fucks, but at least i’m tying

maybe the installation is simple, but the whole thing is still a beast and has tons of different services and does a lot of stuff. i prefer forgejo because of it’s simplicity (still not super easy) and it takes less resources.

this only works if both have the same energy consumption.

this is probably not the case, so you also have to measure the energy consumption and then adapt the measured time accordingly.

from my perspective there are two types of t-shirt acquisitions: a) you need cloths b) you want to spread a message.

i would think most of the fashion brand t-shirts fall mainly into a) with a little bit of c) you want to be part of a superior group

most of the funny t-shirts and band-t-shirts fall into category b) and basically you also place yourself into a certain group but into a smaller, more specific one. the big fashion brands are arbitrary so many people can identify with them. they don’t want to be associated with a real message, because then some people would be excluded from wearing that brand.

so the t-shirt presented as exhibit 1) certainly falls into category b). but i really can not come up with a message you want to send by wearing the t-shirt: it’s not the “font-nerd” it’s not the “web-dev-nerd” or anything like this. how big is the overlap of star-wars-fans and font-awesome users?

i think at the end it’s just a marketing department that jumps on the latest bandwagon of internet memes in the hope that they can gain some popularity.

they could produce t-shirts that are fun to wear and spread the brand more subtle, but in this case i completely agree with op: this is a very strange campaign. and i also think that the comments here comparing this with fashion brands completely miss the point.

compression is good when copying over the network, but would just waste cpu time when copying to a usb stick.

i thought this too, because i don’t like the Oktoberfest. but then i looked at the numbers:

Von zehn Besuchern kommen statistisch sechs aus München und dem Umland, einer aus dem übrigen Bayern, einer aus dem übrigen Deutschland und zwei aus dem Ausland.[75]

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oktoberfest#Besucher

translated:

out of ten guests, 6 are from Munich or surrounding, 1 from the rest of Bavaria, 1 from the rest of Germany and 2 from abroad.

public library

here the subscription fee for one year is about as expensive as a single book.

yes, interesting, i just wondered if i’m missing something, maybe my statement was a bit too negative :-/

nice graph, what is the “calories per gram of food” or “caloric density” dimension/axis good for?

only use-case i can think of is something like packing food for hiking? other than that calories per gram of food is quite irrelevant, or am i missing something?

no gui, but still super simple and enough for local testing:

• open a terminal
• cd folder/you/want/to/serve/from
• python -m http.server -b 127.0.0.1

open browser surf to http://127.0.0.1:8000/

but a simple plastic bag would be enough for that?

but then the three cover would be connected at the tip? otherwise the plastic is not strong enough to help against deforming?!

can you define “machine”? if it’s a desktop: have you thought about an additional hdd/ssd? all the pros of dual booting, without the cons: you can simply unplug the windows drive if you install linux.

but still do a backup!

First of all: Do they want to make real live friends? having only internet friends doesn’t sound too bad, does it?

they have tried to socialize in a fishbowl event but they weren’t able to get a friend there as I feel it.

you don’t get a friends from a single event. give it more time. much more time. some other comment mention hobbies or groups, and i think this is the key: you don’t go to those events because you want to make friend, but because of you interest and you make friends by accident. Don’t pressure it!

thanks for the insight, much appreciated!
