is it still owned by tencent?

so why not copy them?

oh, I totally agree with you.

In fact standards are made to be copied. That’s like the entire point of them.

People behind ISO 216 thought of everyting

how to make a good standard:

step 1: copy from DIN

Accusing a man of being “ergi,” which is basically unmanly, was enough of an insult to be answered with blood

“using gay as an insult” is not proof of extreme homophobia. By that logic every teenager on the planet would be extreme homophobic.

In fact, pretty much every descriptive word can be used as an insult. If anything your example proofs, that vikings take insults very serious.

because of two bodies can not occupy the same space, the feather and the ball will be in different position when you drop them. And therefor gravitation will pull the earth slightly more toward the ball and slightly less toward the feather.

I like the explanation that devious spirits cannot say this phrase and that’s why it’s used

Evil spirits can not say the same word twice in a row. Foxes can not say “moshi”. With “moshi moshi” you get a 2-for-1 special.

the other stuff isn’t too wild either.

if you just want to make a simple program. It still needs to run in kubernetes.

“hello OPS-team. Here is my simple program. Have fun running it on your kubernetes”

fucking Heritage Foundation, wow.

At this point they are just evil for the sake of being evil.

It’s at most 40 years old technolog

Only reason to include 2 full bridge rectifiers

they look like runes.

we’ll probably get a win 12 that is less good than win 10, but better than win 11,

I wouldn’t count on it. MS is moving away from selling desktop-stuff and towards selling cloud stuff (think azure and office356) and consulting. That’s why they changed their attitude towards linux (think wsl and c# for linux) and open-source (think github). MS wants companies to use open-source tools (preferably written in c#) and deploy them to azure with the help of MS-consultants.

Enshittifying windows is a step in that direction. For example: The more people have a MS-Account, the easier it is to sell office356. That’s why they pressure windows-user into making MS-Accounts.

MS knows that desktop is dying.

most recently I had this with energy-settings, before that with network-settings, and before that with some language settings.

I’ve not actually had this problem …(aside from [when I had this problem])

lol

talking to clients

you want him to define features and deadlines?

the last time I had to set up a windows-system, I just said fuck-it and bought a key for 2€ from on of these shady key-sides.

There’s a lot to not like here.

the new snipping-tool is neat

yes I know if you look hard enough you can find legacy panels

In some case you have to actively looks for the legacy panel, because the new ones don’t allow to change certain settings.
