Nice. Will old comments/votes also start coming in? I can see posts popping up, but many votes/comments still seem to be missing.

Edit:

Example of things still missing:

https://lemmy.world/post/47922684

Edit2:

Oh yeah, the post seems to be gaining stuff as time goes on, just added another upvote and a comment thread from 22 hours ago.

OP already mentioned in the post body that the problem doesn't seem to show up on that site. Just compare the TopDay/Active sort of different instances, lemmy.ml is missing a whole lot of full posts by now, not just comments.

[–] Muehe@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Nah, something's wrong here on lemmy.ml. Compare these sites:

https://lemmy.world/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=TopDay
https://lemmy.ml/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=TopDay

On world it's FuckAI post with just north of 900 upvotes, on ml it's mostly local posts with the first one having 62 upvotes...

Same is true when comparing other instances, they all look similar to worlds TopDay sort, ml is the odd one out.

Well I don't know. Their response overall is quite incoherent in places, but they mentioned somebody, presumably German, interfering twice now:

we didn’t port the feedback from our German QA to other languages

https://x.com/GOGcom/status/2062981104362242551

This was noticed before distribution, and out of respect for local sensitivities, the material was not sent to the German community.

https://old.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/1txmcyd/ts_gotta_be_racist_gog_explain/opxtour/

And yeah I can absolutely see a German translator/QA person just going, "No, I'm not sending out a fucking SS rune. That's a fucking crime." Because apparently it was only censored in the German language version of the newsletter, Germans with language set to English still received it with the runes. So that part, the "hey the German censor was the only one who caught this", that I can believe. And some PR person rephrasing this embarrassing state of affairs as "German QA" and "respect for local sensitivities" that I can believe too.

Beyond that, there is pretty deep lore on this already. The developer used an Indian sun wheel before being made aware of possible "connotations", and then apparently misinterpreted the term connotations, see here (same reddit thread as above, but different comment). Then the GoG rep saying in the reddit thread above the S-like runes were supposed to be Sowilō runes, which are indeed sun symbols, although not Slavic ones, which may comes in pairs, but not in the same orientation, and seem to render different depending on fonts. But the email seems to have used Greek Kappa, which may or may not render differently, looks like it doesn't. It's confusing, but plausible enough to have a difficult time disbelieving it outright.

But on the whole, those three/four symbols just don't come together by accident. Some person put those there on purpose and is trying to play it off as a mistake. I suspect the author of that first damage control message on reddit.

only to cave to Microsoft soon after?

LiMux ran for 13-16 years, depending on how you want to read it. And after the 2017 cancellation the government in 2020 decided to "use open standards where possible".

They could be sick from something else but get rid of a long standing comorbidity of a pariste infection, you bet they are feeling good. They just think that relief from the varied symptoms from parasite is actually something else cured.

Pretty much this, although it seems freeing the immune system from fighting the worm infection really does help it in fighting the Coronavirus infection: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-than-you-wanted (Ctrl+F "The Synthesis").

TL;DR: Studies showing a positive effect from Ivermectin on Covid came mostly from areas with high worm infection incidence, areas with low incidence showed no or smaller positive effect.

Comparison of the English and German language wiki page for math symbols.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glossary_of_mathematical_symbols&oldid=1342073856

and

https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liste_mathematischer_Symbole&oldid=266615032

To be fair, if you go to the linked "List of logic symbols" article that has a table with Latex, Unicode, and even HTML codes. But it's only for logic symbols, no page for all mathematic symbols on the English Wikipedia as far as I can see, so no quick Ctrl+F searching for unicode/latex. :( And most other subsections don't even have a link to such a list.

Nah other way around. The astronauts asked a NASA administrator if they are still on the line or if there was a handover. Then Tump replied "I am, yes, I am".

I found AutoKey but that seems more focused on Text Input and doesn’t seem to support launching scripts individually (altouigh it has a Window Filter).

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this, but AutoKey has Python scripting built in and an extensive API:

https://github.com/autokey/autokey/wiki/Scripting

And from a Python script you can launch any other script/program you want with a subprocess library call.

You have been at war since the January 6th beerhall putsch attempt. It's just that one side didn't realise and didn't even put your new dictator into a luxury prison first before letting him get re-elected. Rookie mistake honestly.

No I'm going to tell you that is still irrelevant. The OP said:

I’ve had one that thought that “SSD” was a kind of RAM, and insisted on installing Windows on a hard drive.

It seems the student thought a SSD is RAM in the sense of "volatile CPU storage" and thus unfit for an OS install. And a SSD is not RAM in that sense of the word.

[–] Muehe@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

In the context of setting up a PC a SSD is a drive, not RAM. You couldn't pull out your RAM DIMMs and just run on your NVME/SATA SSD as RAM instead (unless your CPU/MB support that which to my knowledge isn't common). I'm not saying that flash memory isn't random access memory in the general sense of the word, I'm saying that when talking about a PC specifically RAM refers to special memory the motherboard makes directly available to the CPU, and a SSD isn't that.

A few weeks in and Trump has essentially:

  • Full control of the (federal part of the) legislative branch.
  • Gutted the executive branch through DOGE and EOs.
  • Practically DDOSed the judicial branch.
  • Purged and replaced possibly disloyal military leadership.
  • Taken exploratory steps on declaring military law.
  • Made very thinly veiled threats of invasion towards several countries, two of which are currently allied with him.
  • Wiped out more than a century of foreign policy gains in a week (which is honestly somewhat impressive, in a fucked up kind of way).

Americans, if you ever wondered how the rise of the Nazi dictatorship looked like from the inside of Germany, wonder no more, it looked kind of like this.
