Many people see a violet/blue shade as more white. There are some chemicals that reflect ultraviolet light for this effect.
The point is, it looks cheap. Maybe that’s what she meant. It’s the same with chalk white teeth. They are also weird. There is a natural white like “angel white” that is often used. It’s more yellowish and not that reflective.
I’ve been using FreeBSD for 20 years on my desktop. I’ve been also mainly using it because I was literally afraid of using Linux filesystems for data storage, when I learned how ZFS works.
Now with bcachefs the situation is different. It’s nice to see an advanced filesystem on Linux, even it’s still beta. I migrated my desktop to Linux, but will keep FreeBSD on my servers for a while, because it’s less hassle for me.
Actually I stopped liking the FreeBSD community. They made a lot of drama in the past years and I stopped being active there. I haven’t reported bugs anymore and fixed them privately or reported directly to upstream. I have many nice things running on servers, but I’m thinking about moving to Debian entirely.
Every single free operating system made sure in the 90s that not a single line from commercial OSes like Unix persists in the kernel and userland. The idea is Unix, but not the code.
I recently replaced MacOS with Linux on a MacBook. And next year my last installation of Windows is going to be deleted. I absolutely hate this ad-infested crap they want to distribute.
I don’t understand why ODT is complicated. It’s a zipfile with inspectible data. The standard document is also not as vendor-specific as MS OOXML which is thousands of pages that everybody gave up upon.
I still don’t really know what you mean. How a document looks like depends on you. I’ve got very many fonts available, much more than average Microsoft Office user has. And it’s easier to use LibreOffice from my point of view, because it emphasizes structure. It looks much cleaner by default than MS Word. The only thing MS Word is better in is typesetting. LibreOffice simply fails to place letters properly.
Documents produced by office suites are not really good for publications. They are very annoying to handle, no matter if it’s MS Office or Libre. The cheapest option to have something professional is LaTeX.
The problem is the waste. Germany has radioactive waste and it couldn’t find a suitable place to deposit it for over 30 years. I think it’s still somewhere on rails or in temporary storages. It’s horrible and they don’t want to collect more of it.
There is some nuclear waste that Germany wasn’t able to bury for over 30 years, because not a single site is safe. Maybe earthquakes and tsunamis aren’t the only problems.
If the car is safe (checked every year), you know the rules (that are in the law) and behave safely (keep the rules), not much can happen.
Also 300 km/h is quite rare. 200 km/h is not.
It’s basically the same as with nuclear plants. They weren’t safe to run, because the rods were old and they couldn’t prove that storages are safe. And people voted for parties that support clean energy, especially doesn’t produce harmful waste.
I had numerous situations where systemd didn’t let me abort a hanging service startup during boot or stop during shutdown.
So what do I do now, systemd? Wait till infinity??
That never happened while using other init systems. Because they simply fail properly (“sorry I did my best to stop this, I needed a SIGKILL finally”). Or simply let me log in: “sorry, some services failed to start and now it’s a huge mess, but at least you can log in and fix it.”.
You don’t want it until something fails. SystemD often doesn’t let you log in to fix it. It just shows a “infinitely bouncing asterisk” and hopes it will magically get better.

Don’t worry. EU institutions without all the countries gave more than USA to Ukraine. If you additionally consider the small EU countries, it’s also a lot. So don’t worry. EU gives enormous support, even though USA is the largest donor as a single country.
Maybe they mean low latency internet connections. This might need some better hardware installations on the side of the provider. This is probably not about net neutrality.
The article is about positive discrimination. The so-called critics fear that there is room for additional fees for for enhanced services, even the FCC clearly says that services should not be degraded and treated equally.
When FCC says that they never banned all prioritisation every “critic” is in state of alert. They ignore the fact that internet needs kinds of regulations to work properly on technical level and conflate the statement with the one above. FCC probably allows technical measures to regulate important cases of traffic shaping and even blocking when it’s harmful for the service overall. This implies the fact that net neutrality can be guaranteed with these regulations.
This part of Germany has supported open source software for a long time now. So this didn’t come unexpected or without a decade long preparation.
The most important part is not the product here. Unfortunately, the people who work with the software decide. It’s also a huge effort to educate all the people to use LibreOffice.
The nice thing is that MS Office moves entirely to the cloud and SaaS. Schleswig Holstein are the only one who will be prepared for the worst soon.
Passkeys are an open standard. You need to install a Webauthn-compliant supplicant that talks to the browser. The supplicant can be anything, as long as it does the required protocol. The browser doesn’t care.
At the moment the browsers are the main problem. They need to open their APIs properly.

It’s nice that they “scream” there. It’s the way you know that they are hiding their ammo and weapons routes there. Instead of complaining, we should target these routes. Hey… they are outside russian borders… so…
