surprisingly what helped this a lot was moving to a place with a narrower dishwasher. it fills up basically on the dot every 2 days, you run it, you spend maybe 5 mins putting the stuff back because it’s not so much

Love to keep ~15k people employed at a subsidy cost of “you could gift everyone involved a guaranteed 5k€ a month pension tomorrow and be done with it”. Truly in it for the love of the game alone

They will only do it if there’s a criminal case or some other significant interest to work from.

Significant interest has, just to name a few, lead to german SWAT storming the wrong appartment because somebody who used to live there called a politician a wiener on facebook. And also locking down entire main train stations for hours on account of some guy or at best a “super recognizer” saw what looked like the AI aged version of an RAF member. Or confiscating literally every electronic from someone because they used chalk spray on something (which is not vandalism as ruled by many judgements because it just washes off).

cloud storage of your choice and a txt file and get get good at indenting. I mean this for real

can’t read the article; did he actually or is the praetorian guard just suddenly very fond of cali style data protection laws in case it anything becomes a cross-state issue?

Young men, there’s no need to feel down
I say young men, they have all left the town

Recycling properly is a good and necessary thing.

Recycling plastic is mostly bollocks by numbers. To go by EU figures at best slightly over half of it even is recycled, of which 35% is thermically recycled i.e. burned. Another 1,3 Million tonnes which I can’t be arsed to manually calculate the numbers for get “shipped for processing” i.e. end up in a landfill / ocean / slum someplace else.

remember when going online was a thing you used to do and not a 24/7 state of being

t440 gang what up

They’re sort of enshittified in the sense that with the older ones you could bash someone over the head with one and then keep using the computer but since that’s not a common requirement they’re just still insanely good

A year ago I put kali on a 2008 netbook and now it has a new life to be my shop machine so I don’t have to use a touchscreen when I need a man with a heavy accent tell me how to replace the bearings on a 1989 planetary gear made by a company that hasn’t existed since 1988

Not really. It doesn’t really rely on MAC adresses, it relies on your phone to constantly blast out “IS ANYONE HERE $HOME_NETWORK_NAME?” (or bluetoothely named “DYPROSIUMS AIRPODS!???”) and it just catches that and then uses classic triangulating to see where you are. They all do that to quickly connect to WiFi without you having to actually type in the SSID because that shits for nerds.

Would or is also a really good way to sniff WiFi passwords. If anybody says “Well yes, I am indeed $HOME_NETWORK_NAME” your phone just hands them the password. It’s probably wrong for THAT network but it does mean you can just collect a whole ass batch of home wifi passwords.

Especially given how many people don’t change shit about their ISP-provided network if you just cyle $common_standard_wifi_names you’re off to a good start to be able to easily infilitrate half your cities WiFi.

A lot of stores track your movement through the store with the WiFi or bluetooth your phone sends out, unless you have that turned off. Since it’s “anonymous” not even stuff like the GDPR requires to notify anyone of this.

Also that’s going to get way worse

I fully believe all the people doing it are doing insanely optimized cost calculations because otherwise they’d probably be dead (soon). But it is so insane. Like even from a robber baron standpoint where you figure the peons whole lives may as well be commuting and toiling they still need at least some sort of sustenance

looking from the outside in “being able to afford multi hour drives to get food, but not food” is such a certified american moment

was anyone waiting for him to go and say “whoops, all my fault” or what

Laws ratified by the EU are not laws as such, for the EU doesn’t govern anything directly. Yet EU laws must be implemented in national law very quickly.

There’s both (and some other minor types nobody gives a shit about) - Regulations are immediatly binding when they come into effect, usually they come with some opening clauses so every member state can adopt some regulation to national laws and structure, i.e. most states have one data protection authority and germany has 18.

Then there’s directives, which must be codified into national law within the given time limit. If they aren’t they also become directly applicable though and the EU will start a breach of contract procedure and eventually fine you per each day you ballsed it.

two triangles two wheels can make you go well far

If you don’t wanna do streetcomplete like Skua said but rather have more of a mission to enter every dog poop bag station in your area or whatever give it a quick google, if stumped, ask around on the forums. From my experience the OSM community is incredibly friendly to newcomers trying to contribute. I once fucked up like 50 entries when I had a field day and some guy just mailed me saying he fixed them all and how to do it properly in a very nice way
