before it's too late

Too late for what, exactly?

500 USD is quite cheap for a device …

If you type chameleon ultra v3 into the search box on aliexpress, you’ll get results for under 20€.

Ukraine is claiming …

That is only a claim and has not been independently verified.

Putin can remain as stubborn as he wants …

We don’t know whether these numbers are accurate, and even if they are, we cannot know what information actually reaches him. Military subordinates might hesitate to report such figures.

Even if he actually receives and accepts those figures, he still has access to other types of weapons that have only been used on rare occasions. The extent to which such systems can be intercepted or countered is unclear and widely discussed: Oreshnik

In Germany, there was a trend of setting up public bookcases in town squares where passers-by could drop off or take books. But as things go, after a while, they slowly started to go out of fashion. Since then, kebab shops and barbershops have become a more common sight in the cityscape (Stadtbild).

kebabs and barber shops

Living in Germany, I can confirm that it’s part of the everyday scenery here (Stadtbild).

and a rave

I can confirm that techno culture is a deeply rooted part of the urban landscape. However, the era of massive, free street parades effectively ended with the 2010 Love Parade tragedy in Duisburg, where a crowd crush claimed many lives. For years, such large-scale public raves vanished due to strict safety regulations. It’s only recently that we’ve seen a revival with 'Rave The Planet' in Berlin—an event led by the original Love Parade founders that attempts to bring techno back to the streets, though under much tighter organizational control.

Sloterdijk is a rare celebrity philosopher, popularized by his many TV spots. However, whether people actually know his philosophy as well as they know his face is a different story altogether.

It is sufficient that everywhere in the universe follows some structure and rules, that's all.

What is that sufficient for?

Otherwise we have a random universe, which does not seem to be the case.

Why jump to randomness, rather than to the possibility of undiscovered laws?

Why do you believe that the same mathematical properties hold everywhere in the universe?

… this kind of person has risen to this kind power is absolutely ridiculous.

He is the result of the political will of the majority of U.S. voters. Every democratic country gets the leadership it deserves.

Or the media may be unwilling to report on potential corruption within parts of the Greenlandic government, because that would blur the clear-cut narrative: Greenland as the good side, Trump as the villain.

France: absolutely fricking nothing.

I lived for ten years in a German housing cooperative, which is a member-owned, non-profit organization that provides rental housing within a market economy alongside private landlords. Tenants are also members, which offers long-term security and participation in governance, without the housing being state-owned or socialist in nature. When I eventually moved out, I was required by my contract to remove all wallpaper from the apartment—even though I had lived there alone, the walls were plain white, and everything was in very good condition. Scraping wallpaper off every room turned into a surprisingly tedious and nerve-racking process.

There is a scheme that is sometimes used by landlords in Germany in which an apartment is only rented out if the tenant agrees, before the rental contract is signed, to buy a fully fitted kitchen that is already installed — and usually at a price that is far from cheap. Otherwise, the prospective tenant does not get the lease. Given the current shortage of affordable housing in Germany, this puts the prospective tenant under considerable pressure to buy the kitchen from the landlord.

The landlord is fully aware that when the tenant eventually moves out, the landlord can require the tenant to take the kitchen with them — after all, it is the tenant’s property, not the landlord’s. The landlord can therefore demand that the outgoing tenant removes the kitchen. This again puts the tenant under pressure, because fully fitted kitchens very rarely fit into a new apartment.

At that point, the landlord can make an offer to buy the kitchen back from the departing tenant so that it can remain in place — but the purchase price is then only a fraction of what the tenant originally had to pay the landlord when moving in. In this way, the landlord can indirectly force one tenant after another to buy the kitchen and later sell it back.

There is a lot of evidence to suggest the pilot did this intentionally …

Maybe there’s no evidence for this

No, Apple has effectively promoted iCloud as the alternative to local storage as part of its product differentiation strategy in the lower price segment.

Apple will almost certainly introduce the same approach for the budget MacBook as well.

„The record could not be found.“

What has the torrent protocol to do with tor-browser besides nothing?

How cool is this?

Then you can imagine in what kind of free fall is your countries birth rate.

Only if you have batteries in between because the sun isn’t shining 24/7 in Germany (and elsewhere). The costs for batteries are as nearly always out of the debate when news papers/portals are glorifying this German balcony subsidy scheme (costs for the public due to power feed-in which isn’t mentioned at all in this article). In the grist article the battery issue is mentioned only in one sentence. The power feed-in is from the perspective of the power grid operator company sometimes called as power backfeed secretly which needs extra infrastructure.

… discussing GPS interference in Europe that was traced back to Russia

Is there a proof for this?

That should have been considered an act of war.

What behavior of the NATO states against Russia should be considered as an act of war?

… property theft …

MAGAs tariffs against China are one of the painful responses.

… cyberattacks from China on the US.

How many cyberattacks from the US on China have you already counted?

There was barely any news coverage, let alone response from American leaders.

Just change American leaders with Chinese leaders.

How do you know? Have you spoken with the most of the people about this?

Wouldn’t the personal trainer be questioning his own relevance to your agreement if you were performing your push-ups correctly right from the start?

After all, as soon as he points out something you can improve on and tells you how to do it better, you receive positive feedback from him and the reassurance that you didn’t hire him for nothing.

And regarding push-ups themselves: isn’t it rather one-sided to train only those limited muscle groups with such a high number of repetitions, to the point that it leads to anatomical imbalances?

What is the motivation to use s3 as primary storage?

What device exactly?

Is the English word stance really not the right equivalent?

Funny that there isn’t a German Wikipedia version of Einstellung Effect.

"if you're not a bad guy, what do you have to hide?"

Your father is subject to a simple but pervasive error: Not every justification who is a good or a bad guy is ethical right in every aspect of life.

Is MTE restricted to the newest (17) iPhone models or does it work on the older ones too?

Is MTE on GrapheneOS restricted to some (newest?) Pixel models? Or does it work with all models that are currently supported by GrapheneOS itself?

The mail service has several serious shortcomings: 1. Disposable addresses (with the prefix temp in the domain part of the email address) can be generated via the web interface. However, when I receive an email at such a disposable address and reply to it in the web interface, the From field does not show this disposable address used in the previous communication, but instead the standard email address of the mailbox account. This is extremely annoying, because this communication partner is only supposed to know the disposable address. 2. In addition to the limited number of disposable addresses provided by the mailbox service, it is also possible to generate countless email addresses in the form of +extensions to the standard local part of the email address itself. Here again, it is frustrating that these email+addresses cannot be selected as the sender in the mailbox web interface (in Thunderbird you can and in the iOS Mail app it only works after manually adding this extension email as an alias in the account settings of the iOS app).

Moreover, Mailbox.org restricts the creation of email extensions exclusively to the plus sign: with alice@mailbox.org you can generate alice+test@mailbox.org, which inbound will automatically be sorted into the inbox folder alice (case sensitive).

But Mailbox.org does not allow the creation of alice.test@mailbox.org, which would actually be accepted as a registration email address by significantly more online services, because many of them apply standard filter rules for valid email addresses that wrongly consider the plus sign invalid and therefore reject it.

Why did you switch to LineageOS and not Graphene with your pixel 7?
