In continental Europe many of us were of understanding and position that a is a license within a unilateral contract already for years.

As a reminder, where I'm from a gift is a unilateral contract.

@malwareminigun @flameeyes,

In the context of “needing to explicitly agree”, which this thread started as…

As a fail-safe, law typically requires more formalities when the results affect you harder.

A license (e.g. GPL, any FOSS license really) is by definition something that gives you more rights than the (e.g. copyright) law does.

If licensor wants to restrict statutory rights of the licensee, licensee needs to agree with that reduction of rights ⇒ end user license AGREEMENT.

@Joe, what I love about is that it’s not just a one-click install for web apps like etc., but everything else:

• setting up SSL is literally just one click and poof you’ve got set up
• (sub)domains are equally simple to handle
• for it diagnoses what’s wrong and offers copy-paste entries (for some registrars even a single-click import)
• ? automatic

The only thing I had to get my hands dirty with was setting on the router.

Positive surprise of the day that you can use 's in and it will auto-detect the archive format and compression.

e.g. I just uncompressed a bunch of files with:

I wonder if anyone made a (or other ) mouse or trackball with more (programable) buttons.

My current daily driver mouse is a Roccat Kone Pure, but am thinking about trying a trackball. I use a few macros that are stored in the mouse though.

Remember the experimental engine “of the future” that was making?

It’s not dead! In fact, it was re-activated as a project and is being actively developed with the goal in mind to “provide an independent, modular, embeddable web rendering engine, allowing developers to deliver content and applications using web standards. ”

I wish it a bright future! There is hope! 😻

Picked up Doom 64 and Quake remasters on the Nintendo Switch and enjoying them quite a bit. These classics truly stood the test of time!

...but what I really want to see is the / series get the same treatment. Fingers crossed! (Or tips how to best play them these days.)

One thing I hope will come out of is a renaissance of text(-controlled) adventure games.

I suspect there is potential for in here. Just imagine a text adventure that understands what you want to do. You could also break it in many ways!

Now of you add text-to-speech and speech-to-text, even blind people could have a very similar experience in the game.

I need some 🇨🇵 help.

I recently bought St. Marc Lessive Multi-usages on a whim, because I needed some laundry detergent and it was in the same shelf in the shop.

After reading the label back home, it talks about cleaing all sorts of stuff ...except laundry.

Can I use it to wash clothes, and if so how. (They are not aluminium)

I bitch about being late and messing up my travel schedules, but credit where credit is due:

  • they did find me an alternative route fast
  • the new ICE 3 Neo is pretty nice
  • the dining car food is actually really good
  • the staff was friendly and helping
  • looking out the window how a sports car overtakes a truck on the autobahn while you whoosh past both of them at 300 km/h is just sooo cool
