The puzzling part is fun, because you are constantly learning new ways to use your body. See how to balance, how to move around, etc. I have found that dancing gives a similar learning challenge. Especially the more free-form dances like salsa and bachata. It’s fun learning new moves every week during the lesson, and then try to see if you can put them to practise during a party.

And don’t worry about beeing to stiff. If you can balance around boulders, you can get your body to move around for dancing too. Just takes some practise. I currently do both, and feel like I lack dexterity more for the climbing than for the dancing.

And unlike most of the hand-friendly options mentioned already, you do have to use your hands and arms a lot. Just not in a way that puts any stress on them.

My company made working from home a really bad idea. Better to work locally, since home is a on slow network drive.

Point 1 has to be chosen when the cat is young. Forcing an outside cat to suddenly only be inside often doesn’t work.

I adopted a 7-year-old cat from the shelter, and after a week of having to be inside all the time, he got more and more frustrated. After a week and a half, he escaped during the night. In the morning, while I was panicking, he came strolling in as if nothing was wrong.

Since he apparently comes back, I allowed him outside from then on. Since that moment, his behaviour inside has improved a lot. No more random play attacks on my ankles and hands, and generally much calmer.

He has also come back home with mice several times. He always eats them. So I think he is very used to living outside. Maybe been a stray, or a farm cat.

Forcing him to be inside would feel cruel.

Since they will not use Github for Pull Requests, bug tracking, or any other bonus feature on top of git, I have to disagree. It would be super easy to change the host of their git repo.

What you are mentioning is forcing companies to comply when selling inside the EU or California. The EU does not force companies to comply with their specifications outside of the EU. Companies simply do so because it is convenient.

The EU cannot decide how cars should be made that are sold in California. If they tried, I bet the US government would have something to say about it.

What the EU can do, is exert influence to get other governments to adopt the same rules. This already happens with a lot of countries surrounding the EU. But asking another government to adopt rules, is wildly different from forcing companies to adhere to those rules inside the borders of another government.

Not entirely. There still exists trade agreements, and diplomatic pushback.

Forcing companies to make products to a certain specification, would mean the EU is attempting to regulate other markets. Markets it has no direct governance over. While it may come from good intentions, it still invades the authonomy of the governments that should have governance over these markets.

Much better would be to work together with other countries, and help these countries implement similar rules, and enforce them together. Like, pretty much that the EU is doing for its members in the first place.

“You can simply remove the appraiserres.dll file in the Windows 11 ISO file to make the Setup avoid these checks and install Windows 11 on any unsupported hardware too.” From the following article: https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-use-rufus-to-disable-tpm-and-secure-boot-in-bootable-windows-11-usb-drive/

That sounds hard, but Rufus made this easy. Just select the right option. So just use Rufus to create the install usb: https://rufus.ie/en/#

This also allows local accounts, and disables all the tracking bullshit with a single click each.

Or just circumvent the “requiments” that are so required that a few registry hacks disable them, allowing you upgrade to win11 via windows update.

Or if you want a fresh install, use rufus to create the install usb stick, and select the option to disable the tpm requirement.

I already saw this happening on Reddit. The largest subreddit were filled with generic posts. They got a lot of content, not necessarily good content. But there were plenty of small or medium sized subreddits that had much better content. The Fediverse feels like it is missing the big subreddits. It also feels too small to have the small niche subreddits. What is here in terms of content feels more like a few medium sized subreddits.

There is a subtle, but important, difference between letting people know your product exists or improved, and brainwashing people into buying your product.

Is a grocery saleman at the local saturday market allowed to shout about the sale he is doing on strawberries? Because that is also marketing.

I fully agree that the average advertisement you see on youtube is pure cancer. But what about an advertisement for an emergency fund for a disaster?

What about a sponsored video of a game?

Where do you draw the line?

I have decided to assume that OP is already married to said old friend, and has two kids with said old friend. His marriage to this old friend just feels right.

Good point. But if I read the article correctly, the UK navy has no issue with these non Chinese nationals.

Yup. This entire article sounds like sensasionalism. They mention the word ‘race’ several times. But Chinese is not a race, it is a nationality.

So if Gabe suceeds, we get a gaming ecosystem with different hardware sellers, all using a platform that other software sellers are not blocked from using (Linux)? And the only reason Valve wins, is because they invested into providing the best possible distribution platform on Linux?

This does not make them evil by any standard I know. It just sounds like a solid long term business plan.

So you are looking for empty gems, so you can fill them with the souls of your “friends”, allowing you to call upon them anytime to play more boardgames.

A reasonable goal.

“Ammo conversation”, for when you let your guns do all the talking, but you need to express yourself beyond just violence.

No. No good. Rednax count 14 violations of prompt. Rednax will improve story now:

Thelsim like sound of name of Thelsim, so Thelsim approves of question :) Thelsim is unique enough name, if not-Thelsim sees Thelsim somewhere else, there’s good chance Thelsim is Thelsim. Thelsim thought Thelsim up on spot and kind of identifies with Thelsim now. Thelsim’s vague and genderless enough to apply to anyone and can still be remembered as normal name. Thelsim’s become online identity of Thelsim. Caveman enough for not-Thelsim? :)

Q. If you connect to google.com, how do you know you are talking to google.com, and not bing.com? A. You find the CA of the certificate that google.com send you, and you ask that CA if the certificate is valid.

Q. How do you know that the CA is actually the CA, and not some fake actor? A. You find the CA of the CA, and ask it to validate the certificate of the CA.

Q. How do you know that the CA of the CA is actually the CA of the CA? A. After several layers of this recursion, there is a hardcoded set of trusted certificates on your PC.

If someone self-signs a certificate, then this chain of questions ends well before you end up with a hardcoded (and thus trusted) certificate.

Let’s encrypt verifies that a certificate is created from a specific domain. Therefor it can tell is whether the cert belongs to a domain with certainty.

Requesting a website is like sending a letter. You have to put the adres on the letter, or the post office (your ISP) won’t know where to send the request.

DNS is like a phonebook, but for domain names. It is used to look up the adres you put on the letters you send (websites you visit). Using a custom DNS means that your ISP cannot block websites by omitting them from the phonebook. Adguard uses the same ability of omitting domain names to block ads.

Consider: https://9gag.com/123 A DNS translates “9gag.com” to an internet protocol adres. It is never told that you will use https, or that you request “/123” from 9gag.com

What you do on a website (request “/123”) is always hidden from your ISP IF AND ONLY IF the website uses https. Https puts the details of your request inside the envelope, instead of right next to the adres.
