Are you seriously equating security software running on business systems with state violence / surveillance on people? Those two things are not even remotely comparable, starting with business systems not being people that have rights

Roombas

Teslas

Burger Kings

Band-Aids

I do agree that “Legos” is wrong, but it’s not because you don’t pluralize brand names in this way.

The Lego group themselves, for one

Happened with Lone Echo for me. It’s a VR game where you’re in a space station, and you move around in zero g by just grabbing your surroundings and pulling yourself along or pushing yourself off of them. I started reflexively attempting to do that in real life for a bit after longer sessions

Ad blocker?

And science fiction somehow can’t be fascist?

I can get behind that

Ohh the “what time is it in films” argument is good, haven’t heard that one before, thanks

It’s gonna get much worse when you start to try mapping days of the week onto the new times. Are days gonna be the same everywhere as well, to stay from 0 to 24? If so, have fun saying things like “Let’s find a time on Wednesday/Thursday”. People likely couldn’t be bothered and would probably just use the day that their normal wake-up time falls on to mean the full solar day instead. At which point you could also just say okay, weekdays are still following local solar days. But now what weekday is it halfway around the world? Now you need to look up their solar day.

All this to say - abolishing time zones will introduce the reverse problem for every problem that it seemingly solves. You can’t change the fact that our planet rotates and people in different locations will follow different schedules. Turning the lookup-table upside down is just a cosmetic change that doesn’t remove the situation that’s causing the confusion. I’d rather just stick with the set of problems that we’re already used to dealing with.

No

Interesting, that seems kinda unsafe to me. The one I checked was Ryanair, they fully prohibit batteries in checked luggage

That’s only for cabin luggage. In checked luggage, Lithium Ion batteries are completely banned. If a battery bursts into flames in the cabin, it can be handled with hopefully minimal damage. You do not want that to happen in the belly of the plane packed in closely between everyone else’s luggage with no way of getting it contained until the planes lands.

Ist jetzt einfach so, als hättest du eine zweite E-Mail-Adresse erstellt, bspw. bei Proton statt bei Google. Du kannst von beiden aus E-Mails schreiben und empfangen, genauso wie du hier mit beiden Accounts posten und kommentieren kannst. Und wenn der Provider einer Adresse mal ausfällt, ist die andere nicht betroffen

Yup, you got it. Even the solution to your confusion. Good encryption algorithms are set up so that even the smallest possible change in the input (a single flipped bit) will produce a completely different result. So yeah, if you have just a small set of exact possible messages that could be sent, you can find out which one it was by encrypting it yourself and comparing your result to what was sent. But there is a super easy protection against this - just add some random data to the end of the message before encrypting it. The more, the harder it will be to crack.

• Waking up via lights slowly dimming on is much nicer than an acoustic alarm.
• Light temperature adjusting to current time of day is very nice and does loads for my mood
• Lights automatically turning on and off based on presence and measured light levels is totally unnecessary but just so convenient
• Getting a reminder to take the wash out when the machine is done
• Smart plug automatically turns off power to other devices when the TV is turned off

Inwiefern verschlimmert es die Lage denn konkret? So wie ich die anderen Kommentare hier verstehe ändert es einfach gar nichts bezüglich Gesichtserkennung, wo siehst du da eine Verschlimmerung?

Es ist keine entmenschlichung sondern eine herab würdigung.

Witzig dass du das als Verteidigung anbringst nachdem du im Kommentar direkt vorher noch Artikel 1 GG verteidigt hast

Somehow, nobody here is talking about that “cis mate” is accidentally too restrictive, if it’s about genital preference. Saying “I want a cis mate” is going to exclude non-binary people that would actually be perfectly compatible with your genital preference and present close enough to the gender you’re attracted to. Let’s be appropriately specific when talking about this stuff, people

I mean… Yes? If there’s a way to do something without having to take my hands off the steering wheel I’ll use that

There are some cases though where the code is just complicated for reasons outside of your control, in which case “what” comments are good - but they should never be taken at face value, but only used as a first step in understanding the code. There’s a significant risk of the code not actually doing what the comment says.
