That happened to me yesterday. Fucking embarrassing to accidentally spam a work colleague like that.

I certainly didn’t enable that option. Are you sure it was off by default?

Edit: I was enrolled in “Studies”, that one has a study active, for testing the spam. Guess I won’t help with their studies anymore.

I thought the way they were working towards that on the EU level was with forcing banks to adopt the instant payment system.

You are allowed to deduct the money you spent on union dues from your income, thereby lowering your taxable income. So on that portion of income that you deducted, you don’t pay taxes. That’s how all deductions work.

There’s also really good writing on AO3 too.

Oh for sure, I didn’t mean to imply otherwise. It just happens to be where I read through some pretty bad writing when I was invested enough in the source material, so it came to mind as an example.

I don’t get how this was exploited in practise.

Even if the signatures on the downloaded packages weren’t checked properly, how would you modify the content of the XML file returned from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php?version=8.8.0 ? For that you’d have to break or MITM the TLS too, no?

The usual case for TLS MITM is when a company decides DPI is more important than E2E encryption and they terminate all TLS on the firewall, but if the firewall is compromised there would be much easier avenues of entry other than notepad++

50 shades of grey. The writing was so cringe that I just couldn’t get further than one chapter or so. And I’ve read some bad writing on AO3 before, so it’s not like I’m especially sensitive.

Even Deerannosaurus Rex would need to munch a while on that pile

If you’re familiar with the pragmatic application of the subjunctive in your own language or others, that may help

When I tried using my dative and accusative case knowledge from German with the objective case “whom” it made me sound weird to the native English speakers I know (American, Australian, Northern English), who mostly stopped using “whom”. So in general I’d advise caution with this approach.

Didn’t that one just “accidentally” happen when München started building their LiMux distribution, and after Steve Ballmer went to visit them personally?

Bayern is a bit of a conservative shithole if you ask me. Since 1957 the CSU party has always won the leadership of the state executive. They are constantly hindering green energy production and they suck BWM-cock regarding internal combustion engine cars. It does not surprise me, that they are shit on this question too.

Edit: Ups, wahrscheinlich hätte ich dir das nicht erklären müssen, wenn du ja deutsche Heise Artikellinks postest… Ich lasse es jetzt aber für andere Leser stehen.

If external professional support is needed they could just buy it too. One of the bigger Linux companies, SUSE, is even from Germany, and still operates out of Nürnberg (or “Nuremberg” for people who are more familiar with the anglicized name).

Yeah has a bit of those Ben Shapiro vibes.

Don’t you think people would sell their houses on the coastline and move?

I wish people (especially journalists) would get it through their skulls already:

• Vehicles don’t communicate with satellites.
• GNSS (like GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, or BeiDou) do not use two way communication.
• The satellite can therefore not know the position of a GNSS receiver.
• Instead the satellites send timestamps and their positions, the receiver uses that information to calculate its own position. If the system with the receiver needs to report its position to someone they typically use some form of terrestrial communication, like mobile phone networks.

With that knowledge the comment by /u/imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com makes a lot more sense than whatever the article is trying to imply about satellite failures.

The HDMI Forum is pretty evil. Reminds me of the MPEG licensing groups.

I had random issues with a laptop bluetooth adaptor around 6-7 years ago. I was able to hack together a script that wrote “0” to the /power endpoint of the PCI device in the sysfs, and then triggered a rescan of the PCI bus as a workaround.

Maybe something similar could work for your case, depending on how the bluetooth device is connected. Just an idea, not sure if it will work for you, but may be worth looking at.

If she’s livestreaming too she might need a broadcasting license, like Gronkh (predates grok, no relation, big German streamer). Better get on that paperwork too.

Can confirm for the Migros

Last weekend my PC didn’t start up, it was beeping an error code. I was so scared of it being a memory issue while diagnosing.

But luckily it was a video error code. And after swapping out the GPU and still getting the beep, even more luckily, it turned out to be the display being stuck in a bad state and just needing a reboot.

vu, the past participle of voir.

with the driver stood on his phone.

What terrible luck, first he breaks his car, then steps on his phone and probably breaks that too!
