I'm now imagining you going to the grocery store, pretending to be your twin, to get the employee discount. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Would love to know, too. To my European eyes, it looks like onions, potatoes, apples and tomatoes, but surely they have some different produce there. Whatever is in the bottom-left does look unfamiliar, at least...

The problem is that Nazis love to appeal to some hypothetical right to freedom of speech, because they want to shift the Overton window. That is why people are being particular with the wording here and why your post is getting downvotes.

It also makes it hard to answer, because, well, if you are a Nazi, expect to be banned from various communities and instances significantly faster than on Reddit. Supporting the harm of others is not an opinion worth tolerating.

The moderators on my instance have banned people for repeatedly asking what exactly is allowed to be said, and I've come to support that decision, because yeah, Overton window and all that.

Yeah, I've considered setting up a scrappy rsync solution, because Syncthing felt like overkill for that use-case and like it might stop working one day.

There's the Syncopoli app on F-Droid, which hasn't been updated in three years, but it seems to just be a thin wrapper around rsync, which has been stable for decades, so I still kind of trust it more to continue working. Or at the very least, if I need to fix something or update the app myself, I feel like I'll be able to do it.

To my knowledge, the only problem was that there was no communication about the handover. If there had been a post on the original repo with reasoning for Catfriend stepping down, instead of the repo just disappearing (from what I heard), there would've been no drama...

Admittedly, I did not look into it too deeply, though.

Good question. My best guess is that the buttons have become less important, because:

  • they try to auto-detect where a signal comes,
  • they have better defaults, so you don't really need to change settings, and
  • even monitor brightness can partially be controlled by the OS.

But yeah, I got a new monitor at work, and instead of buttons, it has a joystick on the backside. Now the monitor's menu pops up every so often, I'm guessing because something shook the joystick just enough to trigger it.
When I saw that joystick for the first time, I wondered how long it'll take before it breaks, but it's broken on day 1, so that's great. ๐Ÿซ

I believe, the problem is mainly white bread, which is what people typically have in mind for feeding ducks.

As opposed to wholegrain, it only retains the endosperm, which is mostly just carbohydrates without many nutrients:

I think, the lack of fiber is also particularly problematic. At least, I've heard that it gives them diarrhea, which probably means their guts don't have time to extract the few remaining nutrients.

No idea, but I have not yet heard of a computer science department going exclusively for Apple...

Probably varies a lot between countries and universities. In my university, you were better off, if you were on Linux. But I've heard horror stories from the US before, where Windows was mandatory...
