While there are measuring cups, they aren’t a set of cups of fixed volume, like American measuring cups, but rather like beakers with markings on them.

Our baking recipes are also based on the mass of ingredients rather than volume, which frustrates me whenever I see US-based recipes who call out for the “cup” measurement instead of mentioning the amount of grams one needs.

Beware, it’s a fake site, the real aniwave sites were subpoena’d a while back.

According to this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/12010015

Doesn’t look good, Tonic (.to domain registry) got subpoenaed https://torrentfreak.com/ace-goes-after-fmovies-sister-site-successors-240824/

Zsh: “Zed shell” or “Zee shell” (depends)

SSH: spelt out S-S-H (both in English and in my native language)

sudo: like “sumo wrestler” only with a “d”

Current student here (CS, so sadly not in your field):

In my case, college/university actually made sure, I and many others would be using Linux as their main system. The computer lab is using Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 mainly) although Windows machines (mostly for beginner courses) and Macs (for stuff like Final Cut Pro and other Apple exclusive software) are available and many courses are either requiring or putting mainline support towards Linux.

Document wise - we were taught LaTeX from day 1 and are expected to have at least the knowledge to utilize the given .cls files. Sharing documents is rather a free-for-all: When LaTeX is required for the course, either Overleaf or the university git is the choice for group-work, otherwise there aren’t requirements for using .docx files or other files.

Hope I could give you an insight, although not in your field.

Agreed. Even though I dislike Eyeo’s practices as well (letting the ad companies pay for whitelisting their ads), it’s a better outcome than outright banning ad blockers (or if Axel Springer had gotten their ways, “light” web-browsing via reader modes would have been turned illegal as well)

Axel Springer tried again recently, arguing that ad blockers “infringe copyright by altering HTML elements on their sites”, and Germany waits, because a similar lawsuit happened in Luxembourg which will be settled on the European level.

Another article, where they tried the exact same thing two years ago: https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/landgericht-hamburg-ueber-adblock-plus-springer-verlag-verliert-erneut-a-5e058ee7-e0fa-4f0e-aa10-d95d9cfad654 (also in German)

(Also it’s not a constutional right (Verfassungsrecht), since it wasn’t the BVerfG that ruled in the first case (they tried to get them to rule, but no response was given), but a civil case ruled in the first instance by the BGH, after the local courts told Axel Springer to get bent)

(Edited: Added more context)

It’s barely even visible but the fan is on the “flat” side, I think?

That’s exactly it, Bazzite, a distro associated with gaming, running on hardware that even at release was criticized for being “landfill fodder”.

you mean the original Greek pronounciation, instead of the mess, that is “kai-mera”?

At least Ubuntu makes it easy to roam through their archives. Have fun :)

maybe a salo joke? at least that would be my first guess

I currently use endeavourOS and I am happy with it, due to it being “just Arch with some wallpapers and optional extras”.

I am open for more though, even if it’s just for trying out :)

One might even say… scaroused.

My journey was very uneven:

Windows (for many years) -> Ubuntu (for 2 months, dual-boot) -> Windows (for about 6 years, because of some very specific software + pre-Proton gaming) -> Linux Mint (for about a month) -> popOS (for almost a year) -> endeavourOS (now, but always on the look-out for new stuff)

But in between the “main” journey, there was always some stuff trying out, like Void (on an old PC), Arch (inside a VM, now use that VM as a lightweight environment for testing some stuff out)

Yep, fell for the same trap (minus the marriage, but lived 3.5 years of literal hell instead), and that bullshit shapes you more than everything.

The worst part is being accused of being unempathetic, even though you put almost everything aside for them, just to be met with hatred when you inevitably set them off again.

Brother, I hope you are now in a better place in life. Stay frosty :)

As someone who does ride, I understand your perspective, but your proposal of banning motorcycles on weekends and public holidays would be only doing one thing: letting the rich fucks ruin your day on a weekday with their bobbed Harleys and tough-guy cosplay, while working-class people, who picked up the hobby, would yearn even more for fascism, because “tHoSe lEfTiEs wAnnA bAn eVeryThiNg”.

But noise control - yes, please. You are on the streets, not on a track.

It’s not really FOSS, just the software-equivalent of CC-BY-NC or CC-BY-NC-ND.

Post aside, why do people feel the need to “enhance” their screenshots with AI? (notice the “9183” or the subtext below)

Well, first: It was meant as a simple humorous comment, not hornyposting for oil barons/industrialists. If I haven’t made myself clear, my bad.

And: Even then, OOPs reaction was overreacting and giving the Internet, and Tumblr of all places, a wide attack vector.

(Btw - even when in 2070 the oil executives were to see their consequences, they would put the blame towards the common people, like they do today with things like “the CO2 footprint” as in “blaming the people instead of themselves, the aviation and maritime freight industries”)
