What spooks me is that most of the people currently living in these institutions likely would have had the exact same thoughts when they were younger.

The vast majority apparently fail to follow up. Will you? Will I?

Yes, the actual news is that he said it, aloud and in public.

Yeah right, only? I mean it’s not a good decision politically, but also no longer economically sound, you might want to sell it down the road, to whom, and for what price?

I enjoy gardening.

Trump’s Ukraine betrayal will have terrible consequences.

Talked to two Japanese students who went to Europe because they hated their home country, like you do. Both were adamant they would have become a number in the suicide statistic if they wouldn’t have gotten out of the country. They didn’t plan on returning, ever.

Just saying there is a way out, I guess that’s what I thought was needed to be said.

Thanks I’ll look into it when I get some downtime! I already found the scaling by 125 or 150 percent options, but they really scale things pixel by pixel, which is very ugly and tiring on the eyes.

Seamless adaption to higher DPI when I work remotely on my work Windows machine. The RDP clients will just expand the desktop and everything is very small when I WFH. mstsc will change the size of everything but legacy apps according to the DPI of the display.

The shortage is not due to an aging population, it’s because nobody wants to go into this field.

And that is due to the pay not reflecting the extreme exploitation of the workers, in an environment that’s not very conducive to a happy life. They all end up burnt out and have nothing to show for it.

They tried keeping the pay down by hiring Eastern European medical personnel, who would work below their qualifications (doctors as nurses for example), but apparently they don’t want to work here anymore.

The problem has been going on for such a long time it is now systemic.

Seriously, “aging population”?

Just power-hungry generals? Anything more to the story?

They said SS members were not universally evil. Front national was unimpressed.

I think the most important topic right now is confronting the climate change and the problems it is going to cause, on every level local, regional, national and international. This looming crisis is going to affect everything and everyone on an existential level, and requires every of these government levels, even every individual, to fucking work and to fucking stand together.

And now my compatriots elect AfD.

Among the nonaligned is the German far right party that got kicked out of id for being too extreme.

Interesting. 19% doesn’t sound like a lot to me. To create food security, you have to overproduce, to create food security for all food items, you’ll have to overproduce them individually. I would have guessed that the number would be in the high 30s.

Anyway, the food is there, and has been for many years. The organizations and distribution networks are there. This is not a failure of production.

Hunger today is always created by politics, most often by war.

Yeah you’re right. Our news would use “Kongo” for the catastrophe and “Kongo-Brazzaville” for the country.

Congo is much bigger than Deutschland, what is this?

I share the same sentiment. Grabbed a laptop last week to be able to wfh somewhere else and entertain myself too, and to try if I couldn’t get gaming to work on Linux, and had that feeling of curiosity back about what is new and how everything works. The feeling was lost sometime after Windows 7, and replaced with a slight feeling of dread about where everything got misplaced in this newest shiniest iteration of Windows.

Couldn’t be happier with fiddling with distros!

I think your third point is key, one thing Microsoft does very well is backwards compatibility. We run programs from the 90s in production. It is a nightmare of APIs layered upon APIs, but the programs will run.

Do you require ad blockers with these? This use case sounds like the intention of the feature, not like the perversion we’re headed for now.

To those who don’t know, Italians can be super particular about what pasta goes with which condiment. If the recipe says linguine, it’s linguine or you can’t cook the dish. Spaghetti aren’t acceptable.

Also if you sit with some Italians and want to troll them ask them what they think about farfalle (the bowties) and watch the show, most are super opinionated as well.
