Ah, I guess, I do mean honing. She had one of those steel sticks to slide your knife along. Personally, I slide it through the ceramic side of one of these:

She did say all the honing was taking off more material, particularly because the steel of these cheap knives is so malleable. But the knife is so cheap, you can buy multiple before reaching the pricepoint of an expensive knife…

I have been thinking, if I’m ever challenged why I hold such strong feminist views as a man, I need to make a joke that I’m in perhaps somewhat of a special situation, because my mom is actually a woman.

🙃

I once saw a video of a chef who was like, yeah, I just buy the crappiest knives and sharpen them every time before I use them. As someone in possession of a singular, craptacular knife, I can confirm that this works very well. 🙃

This would’ve been a much more exciting article, if it was actually supported across the web and not just in Chromium…

Yeah, the style of syntax originated in LISP. The technical name is S-expressions.

But yes, the basic syntax rules are extremely simple. It’s rather when you actually want to do something with that syntax that it takes some thinking…

Damn, sounds like a good fucking regulation, when not even Facebook wants to violate it.

But in general, I feel like targetted political advertising is a big reason why democracies are currently going south. Previously, you had to pick a position as a politician.
You might’ve had different billboards in the poor part of town than in the rich part, but at least, it was public and could be reported on. With targetted advertising, you can promise opposing sides of a conflict that you’re on their side, or at least not mention to one side what you’re promising the other side.

Man, I wish them all of the luck in the world, but I have never seen a 3D platformer with tight movement and you do need tight movement for a brutally hard game, otherwise it just feels brutally bullshit.

Seems to be this one: https://www.maerklin.de/en/products/details/article/32000

Hmm, Debian and other long-term support distros are kind of in a tricky position with problems like these. On the one hand, they don’t want to break things, so they’ll often make changes like these relatively late. But on the other hand, someone might still run a current version of the distro in 2038, so they actually want to solve it as early as possible, too.

I haven’t looked into modding yet, but from what I understand, most Morrowind mods should work seamlessly. It’s only those that need the Morrowind Script Extender, which don’t work in OpenMW.

Also, I’ve seen this website recommended before: https://modding-openmw.com/

The distinction is just semantics in my mind, too, yeah. I hold the same position as agnostics, in that I do not believe this whole god concept can be disproven, because it is not rigorously formulated like a scientific thesis.

But I put that as “I do not believe that there is a god” and respectively I call myself an atheist, because well, there’s many other things which cannot be disproven, like for example Big Foot.

And if a kid were to ask me, whether Big Foot exists, I’m not going to lead with “we really can’t know”. That’s just misleading.
I guess, agnostics differentiate between gods and Big Foot, because there’s so many more people who are convinced of these gods’ existence. But yeah, I don’t do that either, because I’ve seen how many people are willing to believe climate change isn’t real. Lots of people believing something is just not an argument to me anymore.

As an internet and real-life atheist …yeah. Most atheists just don’t talk much about their non-belief, because there isn’t much to talk about, so in dedicated atheism communities, you mostly see those that are almost anti-theist…

Morrowind was also my last. I actually ripped the files from the disk and that’s what I’m using with OpenMW now…

Mops:

1. Großer Klops
2. Unfertiger Hund

Yeah, I do greatly enjoy pulling out this map whenever someone says “only those weirdos in <region/language> do it the other way around”. Nono, it’s actually a pretty even split. 🙃

Well, they supported this syntax in the past. At some point they broke it.

For sure, they didn’t bother fixing it, because only more knowledgable people used this. But yeah, still valid to complain about it then…

…Gut, dass wir das geklärt haben.

On Linux:

• an application’s files can be updated while the application is running, and
• there’s an OS-wide updater (i.e. package manager) with which you can update most software, including Firefox. (You can also get Firefox with its built-in auto-updater, but most people prefer the OS-wide updater.)

Both of these are good things. But Firefox, with its relatively advanced multi-process architecture, had a problem here, because it could happen that its files got updated while it was running and then when it started a new process, this new process might be incompatible with the old processes, therefore unable to communicate correctly.

Their initial solution was to force you to quit Firefox and reopen it, when they detected that the files had changed and you did something in Firefox which might need a new process, so primarily when opening a new tab.

I’m guessing, they now implemented a way to launch the new process by still using the old files from before the update.

Yeah, I do like that you can just pick another instance to create your community. Like, yeah, it has disadvantages, too, in that new users may need to sign up to multiple communities, but it makes communities a lot less ‘serious’. You don’t need to agree with the moderators of every community, because you can choose or create a different one.

I do also like that you can choose to only subscribe to e.g. one out of three communities for an interest of yours, in case you don’t want the firehose of all posts ever shared about the interest.

Misread it as “The poops are rising up”, which made this very confusing…
