PonyOfWar,

No, it was anti-authoritarian, as it removed the authority slave holders had over their slaves.

I haven’t bought a paper map once in my 30 years of life. My parents still used them in the 90s and early 2000s when we went on vacation.

Aren’t Trump’s lawyers currently arguing in front of the supreme court that it would have been perfectly legal for Biden to do so, him being immune from all criminal prosecution while president?

Does Trump being found guilty actually matter?

Since he can still run for office and become president while in prison, is this actually going to do anything to stop him from being president? Obviously it’s not gonna sway anyone who’s gonna vote for him, so is there any actual way this keeps him from office, or at least has some positive effect for us? I wanna join the...

I’ve read that according to polls, it might sway about 6% of Trump voters. If that actually happens then yes, it would matter a lot for the outcome of the election. That’s a big if though, so I guess we’ll see.

Is it theoretically possible for Windows 11 to delete pirated content on your PC?

I heard Windows 11 has been updated to take screenshots of your computer. Is it theoretically possible for them to delete content from your PC or external hard drives if they can determine that you have pirated content on them? Can they theoretically report you for it? I know it’s unlikely but is it still possible? I’m...

Anything is theoretically possible on a closed source operating system. But it’s not likely. First of all, this “feature” is only compatible with “Copilot+” PCs, so your system probably won’t even get it. It also would run foul of privacy laws in in many places. Especially if they did that while claiming the screenshots only stay local. That’d be a huge lawsuit waiting to happen.

PonyOfWar,

Arles was one I was positively surprised by. Really pleasant and interesting city with lots to see.

PonyOfWar,

It’s not new, nor is it AI. Predictive text suggestions have been in Android for ages now.

PonyOfWar,

So oft wie ich das seit Anfang des Krieges schon bei jeder noch so kleinen Unterstützung der Verteidigung der Ukraine gehört habe, müssten wir inzwischen schon mindestens beim fünften Weltkrieg sein.

PonyOfWar,

If you have a short-ish email address, someone might have just set it as their recovery address by mistake. I also have a pretty old, short gmail address and people have registered it as their recovery address before, so I would get mails whenever they logged in on a new device etc. Don’t think those were phishing attempts, just people being technologically inept.

New Motherboard with loose CMOS Battery - Should I worry/return?

I’m currently waiting for all the components for my PC upgrade to arrive. Got the motherboard today and immediately upon opening, I noticed that the CMOS battery was not in its slot but just kind of next to it loose on top of the board. The slot seems fine, it seems to fit securely in there. No scratches on the board either....

PonyOfWar,

Thank you, will do (once all the other components arrive)

PonyOfWar,

Thank you, that’s reassuring to hear that you’ve had that happen before, so I guess it’s not too rare. I’ll keep it I think.

Election: Poll results for small parties?

In this election there won’t be any % barrier in some countries, but I still haven’t seen any poll numbers for small parties here in Germany for example. Everything below 2-3% gets lumped in with “Others” as usual, even though about 0.5% would already get them a seat in parliament this time. This makes voting...

PonyOfWar, (edited )

Some of the polls on wahlrecht.de include the smaller parties. The latest one that does is from march though, unfortunately.

PonyOfWar,

In Germany, you can get a seat with less than 1%. In the last election, ÖDP got one with 0.6%. Not an expert on the electoral system, but I’d guess it’s because Germany has more seats in the first place.

PonyOfWar,

Yes, but this is the final European election without a threshold in Germany.

PonyOfWar,

Für LePen geht es auch darum, sich vor den Wahlen jetzt möglichst moderat zu zeigen, wie es schon für Meloni wunderbar funktioniert hat. Vielleicht sollten wir froh sein, dass die AfD das bisher nicht macht/schafft, sonst könnten die Umfragewerte noch viel düsterer sein.

PonyOfWar,

Ich glaube wenn man eine nachhaltige Alternative zu Feddit aufbauen will dann sollten die Verantwortung und das Hosting nicht mehr bei einer einzelnen Person liegen. Sonst besteht prinzipiell das gleiche Risiko dass bei unvorhersehbaren persönlichen Ereignissen die ganze Seite ausfällt und man dann wieder woanders hin migrieren muss und damit natürlich jedes mal einen Teil der Userbase verliert.

PonyOfWar,

Some of the first swine flu cases in humans in the US were in Michigan, so Biden being “sent to Detroit” makes sense. Way more than it would for Covid.

Würdet ihr mit einem Therapeut/Arzt/Anwalt kontaktieren, der keine eigene SLD (second level domain) Emailadresse hat?

Momentan suche ich einen Physiotherapeut und der einzige, der sich gemeldet hat, hat kein eigenes SLD (second level domain), sondern eine normale web punkt de Arbeitsadresse, so wie ‘physiotherapieschmidt at web punkt de’ statt z. B. ‘info at physiotherapieschmidt punkt de’...

PonyOfWar,

Wäre jetzt nichts was irgendeine Auswirkung auf meine Entscheidung haben würde. Mein Hausarzt hat sogar gar keine öffentlich findbare Email-Adresse. Professioneller ist es vielleicht, aber inwiefern sollte das Sicherheit bringen?

PonyOfWar,

There was some issue with the picture database causing the frontend to break. The admin has been absent since then, apparently prioritizing some personal issues. There is an effort to create a replacement for the instance, in cooperation with a group called the fediverse foundation. It’s currently unclear if the admin will give over the instance or whether an entirely new one will have to be created.
