“Is my brain a hoe?”

tbf, teaching a lion how a condom works is quite tedious

In theory, absolutely. Sadly, not always followed

Not really true. At least in Germany, the health workers are also extremely overworked. From nurses to surgeons. It’s a big problem

DO NOT ANSWER

I can top that.

I queued for steam. the software. over night.

Back in 2003 when steam launched, hosting was still a bit tricky, and serving software to a ton of people at once, was not as easy as it is today.

When steam launched, you could download just the steam client like today, and install stuff via steam. But it was very slow and buggy as hell

So a couple days after launch, they started to release steam bundled with CS 1.6, so you didn’t need to install it via steam.

But that was of course a much bigger download. And a TON of people wanted it.

So they published it via a download service that integrated a queue, so they could still provide some reasonable bandwith to the people downloading.

I remember that I joined the queue in the evening before bed, let the family computer run over night, started the download before school, and the download was roughly finished when I came back home.

as a webdev: this is (mostly) not really chrome’s fault.

It’s the fault of devs not testing or not getting enough time to get something run on more than just chrome.

For too long the web standards were “eh, it’s stable enough. works on one browser, works on all”. But that only holds true for the basic feature set. When you start using features that are not super common, the browser implementations start to diverge slightly. And that needs to be tested for. But often isn’t

Alright. I looked it up some more. There’s not a lot of information about it out there, tbh.

Germans did coin the term “Schnorchel” for the air pipe in WW2 submarines (although they did not invent it). Which then later was used to refer to the diving equipment.

It’s derived from “Schnorgel” or “Schnörgel”, which is an old northern german slang/word for mouth or snout

What is interesting, as far as I can see, “Schnarchen” isn’t even super related to the same root as Schnörgel? And the real origin doesn’t seem to be really clear and is being discussed. It seems to be more related to schnarren, which is “making a repetitive rattling sound”

Yeah, pretty much what I expected. Related, but not really descended

ehh, I’d like to have some source for that. Because I can’t find any.

The words “schnorchel” and “schnarchen” don’t sound anything alike.

What I can find are some suggestions that with stem from the same germanic root word, but not that one stems from the other

They should just say no. Unless Microsoft pays for the construction of the renewable power plants to power the centers. Before they turn it on

That way the country at least has some nice infrastructure when the DC inevitably doesn’t actually get built

from what I heard and saw from some mods (who can see the statistics on the old.reddit usage), it’s less than 10%, sadly.

the vast majority is using the shitty new design

I mean…

One that is not Windows, yes

AIs are the first thing they meet in their life, that tell them that they are super smart

I bet they still have a charge

Time for Oracle to use an army of their lawyers to sue the Oracle country into existence and register .db

There are countries where, if you accept the inheritance, you will also inherit any debt.

But the details are very depentent on the country and a lot of details that you will have to discuss with a lawyer

We’re ai native

I always interpret it as “ai naive”

No, just someone who ate up their misinformation
