I only started to look at it and am already pissed. So I stopped because it would probably only make me exen more angry. What a lying piece of dirt.

I'd even say that this illustrates the success even more...

  • lemm.ee shuts down, iirc, because it took too much time and effort to run the instance. Not really a sign of inactivity.
  • the platform keeps going! The whole idea of a federated network works, as a single instance going down doesn't impact other ones. As it happened before, see e.g. feddit.de.

So Lemmy as a whole is alive and healthy - and successful.

When this song started I knew I was in for something special. Playing at pretty much the beginning of the game, it set the tone for a strategy game that was so emotional and story focused, it has imho since turned into a true classic.

Barber composed this piece for strings in the 1930s and turned it into the vocal "Agnus Dei" in the 1960s. The Homeworld version is iirc performed faster than originally written but works really well, especially within the game.

It was an opinion piece by a guest columnist.

That an editor then chose to publish. What's your point?

Don Bluth at his worst

Clearly, they haven't seen Titan AE.

I don't know. Maybe he still has a chance to become private jet guy's third wife?

Oder noch praktischer... Mach zwei Geräte draus! Ein Gerät für den Zwischenspeicher und eins eben die Maus. Dann könnte man den Speicher von a nach b tragen ohne immer eine Maus mitnehmen zu müssen.

Oder noch wilder... Nicht nur ein Zwischenspeicher, sondern so ein richtiges Dateisystem! Damit man mehr als eine Sache drauf speichern kann!

Thanks for the explanation. It kind of makes sense, but I'll still try to play devil's advocate... If people only get slightly more than 60 percent of the value they create, is the rest really only there to make the rich people richer or is it being used to pay off a loan the company might have gotten to pay for a large machine or something? With the bank receiving, obviously, the excess money, which they then use to pay their employees and buildings etc? These numbers seem to suggest that all money that isn't paid to employees directly feeds the greedy ruling class, but it isn't mentioned explicitly and maybe the excess money goes somewhere else as well? Not trying to say it has to be like that, just trying to get a better understanding.

Vets aren't organised as a free market in Germany. Instead, prices are set by the federal government through the "Gebührenordnung für Tierärztinnen und Tierärzte (GOT)".

I have no idea how that makes any sense.

First of all, according to your link, the richer countries seem to already be at much higher values, second I have no idea where that 50 percent value comes from even if we ignore the variety in distribution over the various countries.

 
 

Ich weiß, ich weiß... Die Winterreifen. Die Heizung. Die Batterie, die bei den Temperaturen ein wenig weniger aufnimmt. Alles in Summe. Vielleicht will ich bei dem miesen Wetter und der Dunkelheit auch schneller zu Hause sein.

Das dachte ich mir alles schon. Kennt man ja. Hab mir deswegen auch die letzten Wochen nichts dabei gedacht.

Und was war's tatsächlich? Bremse hinten fest. Und zum Schluss so arg, dass ich as erst gemerkt habe, als nach einer längeren Fahrt die Felge hinten so heiß war, dass man die kaum anfassen konnte. Schrauber hat hinten die komplette Bremse tauschen müssen weil die durch die Hitze komplett im Eimer war.

Yay.

Schön: während die Karre in der Werkstatt war gab's einen elektrischen als Leihwagen. Man stellt sich langsam auf uns ein. Daumen hoch dafür.

 

So, the core box has been shipped to known Star Wars Armada content creators, it seems, so the first gameplay reports are dropping, which is nice to see and should help to decide if the game's for you...

Tbh, especially the ship movement seems odd to me. Too many steps involved to get a ship to its next position. The emphasis on story and interaction beyond fighting on the other hand seems very star trek-ish and at first glance well done.

Link Collection for all Things X-Wing TMG (ffg-forum-archive.entropicdreams.com)
 

So, there's a page with lots of links for various X-Wing TMG resources... But it's hosted on the FFG forums and with the game being discontinued and having been transferred from FFG to AMG literal years ago, I thought I'd just copy them here. This is, for now, just the copy-pasted link collection. I'll go through them to remove stuff that's no longer online and maybe add stuff I found elsewhere, but right now I'd just like to keep MidWestScrub's links alive in case FFG decides to finally pull the plug on the forum.

This is meant to be an addition to the excellent post @MajorJuggler has kept updated over the years. For that 1.0 thread, click here.

VWs Gewinn (feddit.org)
 

Keine Ahnung, ob das in die community hier passt, sonst gerne löschen...

Ich hab einfach mal die VW Finanzen angeschaut... 23 war ein Rekordjahr, sowohl was Umsatz (>322 milliarden Euro) als auch was Gewinn (>16 milliarden Euro) angeht. Überhaupt gab es in den letzten 10 Jahren nur ein Jahr in dem der Konzern Verluste gemacht hat - '15, als über 16 milliarden Euro für den Dieselskandal zurückgestellt wurden. Zahlen hier: https://eulerpool.com/aktie/Volkswagen-Aktie-DE0007664039/Umsatz

Kann mir mal einer erklären als ob ich 5 wäre, wo gerade diese Lesart herkommt, dass der Konzern den Bach runter geht und dringend Werke schließen und Löhne kürzen muss?

 

Title pretty much says it.

I regularly draw stuff on a computer and always had convertible laptops, first to take notes and later to be able to draw stuff. I started with a Lifebook T3010, went on to get a Thinkpad X60 tablet, later an X220t. When I needed to replace that, I got a Dell XPS which I hated with a passion due to its lousy digitiser, which was an AES pen instead of the tech they used in previous generations. Out of my frustration, I got a wacom cintiq tablet display, which is, however, clumsy and over the years the connector (which really isn't made to be used in non-office environments) started acting out, so I started to look for a convertible again. However, I'm having a hard time finding EMR convertibles. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a convertible with decent Linux support that has a built-in EMR panel? I'm already thinking about getting an older Thinkpad X2x0t off of ebay, but it's hard to find a good deal on one it seems...
