you responded to a comment, not to OP :)

It’s not a nitpick for me but a relevant clarification to distinguish between two very different words.

crowdsource, not crowdfund. One is sharing the work, the other is sharing the cost.

:/

About fucking time… But knowing our corrupt overlord fucks, they will just use matrix.org free service and conclude “it’s not responsive enough, whelp, we tried…”

I only read the linked summary, and I was referring to a quote where he explicitly referenced rape in a civil war scenario, that’s not a word I made up for something consensual with a teenager.

Sorry but by the article linked above, he whatabouts rape of teenagers with “but they were not children”. He may have done a lot of good for free software, but this is not a single poorly worded comment - these kinds of statements can be found by the dozen. And that means he is mentally unwell / mentally damaged to consider them acceptable.

With your justification, nobody should be working for HSBC, Meta, Google, Apple etc. […]

You are so close.

Possibly, but that excuse doesn’t fly for contacts following his first conviction in 2008:

[…] was convicted in 2008 by a Florida state court of procuring a child for prostitution and of soliciting a prostitute.

That was well before the above mentioned email contacts.

Ik vondt de enige gechillte Nederlander ;) Groeten vanuit Duitsland! (Grapje, ik weet dat niet iedereen Rutte of Wilders in het achterste wil neuken)

On the power outside the atmosphere I didn’t comment because I was too lazy to look it up, the and I knew the number of the previous commenter was in the ballpark.

Regarding the surface: my apologies, I quoted a number from university that must have been a simplification for a calculation exercise, and I made the mistake of never thinking about it critically. Turns out I was wrong.

Edit: solar radiation is only 1.3kw/m2

Outside earths atmosphere. Only ~650 Watts/m^2 reach the surface of our planet.

Edit: I posted regurgitating some simplified assumption from a text book or something I must have read in the past, the 650 W/m² is wrong.

That is a really accurate and helpful observation. Thank you :) (I mean it, unironically)

Not OC but: I won’t always read an article when the post title is a perfectly valid question. Software can be “done”, but typically the environment in which it runs evolves, so at some point a patch might be needed.

İmportant distinction: TeX is considered “perfect software” IIRC while LaTeX has evolved over time (or was still evolving when I last used it in the 2000s)

Technically, North Atlantic. One could say that it would be an organization with a North Atlantic treaty.

It was today years old when I realized I am a console lover. Mind blown.

whoa nice! Thanks!

For people trying to configure that in mozilla (I am trying to get away from it but for now :/)

• -> Edit -> Settings -> Search
• “Search Shortcuts” -> Add (to add a search engine)
• “Search Engine Name”: DuckDuckGo Lite
• “URL with %s in place of search term”: https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=%25s (this has to be =%s, lemmy keeps mutilating that to =%25s everytime I save my post)
• “Keyword (optional)”: @ddgl (or pick whatever you like - it appears @ddg is hardcoded and gets refused)
• -> Save Engine
• scroll up to the top, “Default Search Engine”
• from the dropdown list, select “DuckGuckGo Lite”

Done.

Our system (in the end it’s the same no matter where you are) is so fucked up :/ Kids need to learn empathy and selflessness as the most important school subject.

While I would love to see them never going back, here in Germany, all it takes is some corrupt politician taking a huge bribe from a lobbyist and swoosh, they are back to Microslop.

Edit: Knowing our little corrupt fuckers in charge in German politics, the bribe probably doesn’t even have to be mediocre.
