Have US made a decision on pulling those soldiers or is it only a tweet from Trump?

As you say, it can’t be a surprise unless they have been hiding under a stone for years.

And there is never time to maintain the code, because each project only want to add more feature/s which makes the spaghetti code even worse.

In my group we had a golden opportunity to fix all old mistakes but no, we (decided by PO and group manager) needed to spend all time on proof of concepts that will go to production at earliest in 5 years. Now that opportunity is gone and we are crunching in order to meet the deadlines instead. Still with bad code quality of course.

Yeah, companies that earn money should contribute to the open source projects that they are using. Especially in cases like this where the product would be completely different without this open source.

Molten salt can also be used for heat storage. I’m not sure what the advantages are of molten salt vs water vs sand and what is most realistic.

I don’t think any of those alternatives are used in large scale.

As a side note, some ski resorts are saving snow during the summer to be able to open earlier in the season.

I think the pumped storage is more used when there is an excess of electricty, for example when wind power plants produces large amount of electricity and the prices goes toward zero, or sometime negative.

They write this on their “About us”

Open source

We don’t just use open source — we contribute to it. We report bugs, provide feedback and think along about the direction of projects like Immich. Open source is a principle for us, not a marketing term.

Remember when they had their guide ofnhow to build a PC? It was wrong on so many things, but apparently they edited the guide. I have not read the current version so it could perhaps be good now or at least now misleading.

Thanks for correcting me, I had forgotten that he died before the Black Flag game.

Sorry, maybe I should have added a warning text and used spoiler.

Wasn’t it Desmond in the office building? Anyway, this time Black Flag will only be in the pirate world. But they will change some parts from the original game so I’m kind of 50/50 if this game will be good or not. We’ll see when it is released.

Desmond will not be in this game.

I have had less issues (perhaps zero issues, I don’t remember any) with Proton than with Mullvad. With Mullvad I couldn’t post here on Lemmy, for example. Otherwise I trust Mullvad more but usability is also important. And during the black week I got a very good price for 2 years of Proton.

It has DDR4 so it uses the AM4 platform which means that the CPU is several years old. I’m sure it is a consequence from the RAM prices, DDR4 has not increased as much as the DDR5.

Or Librewolf, which is a fork from Firefox and removes the telemetry that Firefox collects.

I have had two pair of shoes made in EU, Myrqvist and Wojas. I have not had the shoes from Wojas for a long time but so far they seem to be good. The shoes from Myrqvist was wearing down a bit fast than I hoped for.

Vintage, but Facit was Swedish http://www.vintagecalculators.com/html/facit.html

I bought sneakers from Wojas recently. Polish brand and as I understand it they are produced in Poland.

Interesting, didn’t know about Servo. Is it used by any browser or other program?

Proton is bigger than Mullvad in number of users, servers, employees, revenue. Mullvad is a great VPN but they are a smaller company.

I’m not defending them, just trying to find a reason, except for level of commission paid, for why they would list them in this order.

Interesting article, it seems they have switched: Microsoft Office -> open-source equivalent (they didn’t mention any which alternative in the article) Teams -> OpenTalk Microsoft Exchange and Outlook -> Open-Xchange and Thunderbird

And this year they will move to Linux, I’m surprised that they are not using more programs/tools or maybe they already work in Linux. I assumed libraries had one program for their books in the library and another program for ordering books, the police had several programs etc.

But when I think about it, what is a state in Germany responsible for? And this switch, is it only on state level or will the municipalities in Schleswig-Holstein also switch to open source?
