I looked at the picture and thought for a straight minute that this is a tiger… Like, photographed from further away

Shocking! Who could have expected that?!

Wenn die Karte regional beschränkt ist, haben die ja anscheinend mehr Kontrolle über die Karten, als bei einer normalen Debitkarte. Wird also wahrscheinlich nicht lange dauern, bis der Kauf von Gutscheinen gesperrt wird…

The exception to the rule. I am working in a smaller company as a software engineer, I could count myself as a weeaboo… and lots of my colleagues. And there’s at least one furry (that I know of). I would say 50% of the engineers might actually be affected by this rule! (Totally representative of course /s)

Of course, but that’s not what the previous poster was talking about. They were talking about commercial use of the data.

Someone also answered the hosting question on the golem forum, they do host it themselves: https://forum.golem.de/kommentare/opensource/paketverfolgung-und-mehr-post-und-dhl-wechseln-von-google-maps-zu-openstreetmap/immerhin-laedt-die-post-die-daten-von-den-eigenen-servern/170687,6788315,6788315,read.html

I dont think they pay anything I the article itself it says it’s free to use and that the main factor to switch were the costs. In the comments there people also say that DHL doesn’t seem to donate to the project.

Here ist the part from the article translated to English:

Since there has been no announcement of the change from either Deutsche Post or DHL, the reasons for this step remain unclear. Presumably, cost reasons may have played a role. Deutsche Post had to pay fees to Google for the use of Google Maps. The data of Openstreetmap is under a free license and may be used without payment of license fees.

What do you mean with „Everything on there is actually functional“?

I don’t think so. The carrot eating fish was a puffer fish.

If you read your linked articles and surveys you will see, that they’re even arguing against your argument.

Just to quote some stuff:

David Hemenway, who led the Harvard research, argues that the risks of owning a gun outweigh the benefits of having one in the rare case where you might need to defend yourself.

"The average person ... has basically no chance in their lifetime ever to use a gun in self-defense," he tells Here & Now's Robin Young. "But ... every day, they have a chance to use the gun inappropriately. They have a chance, they get angry. They get scared."

"If we don't even have a minimum standard, not for training, but for performance validation for our law enforcement," he says, "how in God's name is anybody going to say, 'Well, just because you have a gun in your pocket, you know how to use it in self-defense?' You don't."

End quote

And some of the other stuff seems very biased:

The largest and most comprehensive survey of American gun owners ever conducted suggests that they use firearms in self-defense about 1.7 million times a year. It also confirms that AR-15-style rifles and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, frequent targets of gun control legislation, are in common use for lawful purposes, which the Supreme Court has said is the test for arms covered by the Second Amendment.

The online survey, which was conducted by Centiment in February and March of 2021, was based on a representative sample of about 54,000 adults, 16,708 of whom were gun owners. Georgetown University political economist William English, who commissioned the survey as part of a book project, presents its major findings in a recent paper available on the Social Science Research Network.

I mean, a survey for owners of guns… Of course if you own a weapon like that, you will tell everyone that you use it for self defense. And probably enough people who say they did that, just lie…

I know studies take a lot of time and often don’t leave much freetime, but maybe it’s still worth to try an online TTRPG platform with your group? I am playing regularly with a group on a selfhosted Foundry TTRPG server and also on Roll20. It works well and we’re sometimes even on different continents.

Anyway, I wish you the best luck, either with the same or with another group :D

Well, apparently I can’t consume in or around my house, but in the front yard of my grandma would be fine.

I do the same, but it’s because of the streaming services, they got themselves in this. I am just wondering if you make these posts to tell your unpopular opinion or just to fight with strangers… quite the history you have there

Genau das habe ich mir auch gedacht, als ich den Post gesehen habe. Es ist doch ein extremer Luxus, überhaupt ein Pferd zu besitzen. Da sollte man doch schon das Kleingeld für die Pflege aufbringen können. Zumal viele Besitzer sich die Pflege durch Reitstunden sowieso wieder reinholen…

This stuff makes me really wonder, how much Americans really believe whatever the rightwings are peddling… On Twitter they’re now peddling all the time this „great replacement“ stuff and that illegal immigrants will vote for Biden(???). Do they really believe that and does a big chunk of Americans believe that?

Where could someone obtain this mysterious knowledge?

It would be funny, if his whole existence wouldn’t be so sad for the world…

Ich wünsche dir das Beste! Super, dass du eine Lösung gefunden hast, die für dich funktioniert. :D

I first thought the guys cleaning the ducks are butchers… That would have been quite the different way to help going through a phase…

Exactly this. Any employer trying to put private devices into their MDM is totally unprofessional anyway… Most MDMs allow access to the GPS Data and have a remote wiping function, it would be a privacy mess for the employee AND employer.

For me it’s all the time the other way around. I prepared everything and think about the session later the day. Then I read the group chat and people cancel and try to reschedule without finding time for it…

Ahh, yes, tracked eight hours of refactoring today…

You can find it at the githyanki crèche, the „general“ with the two dogs had it. I sadly fed it accidentally to my group during a long rest

This looks a lot like these liminal spaces pictures… quite creepy

Yeah, same here. In Germany WhatsApp is extremely dominant. I tried to move to Threema, but only a couple of people are using it in the end, even after discussing the whole Facebook thing. Some people are also on Signal, but again, only a few. In the end, especially for groups, I still have to use WhatsApp.

I feel you, I also had a lot of fun with the game, but these bugs are sometimes really hard to ignore. I just did what the other commenters said. I cut this playthrough short and just killed the endboss. I will try a new playthrough when all these bugs got fixed.

Here’s also a list (written mostly spoiler free) of bugs I encountered:

• While choosing an answer with a roll, the Boni are from time to time shown as „0None“ • Halsin is able to die during a quest to a condition that shouldn’t be able to affect him there, which breaks the quest • Quests which were already finished by coincidence (finding the subject in the open world without having the quest) make the quest stuck, when later found (the quest marker never disappears and isn’t getting marked as completed) • Some of the rescued tieflings die AFTER their completed questline suddenly in a safe place and the journal says then, that I killed them • While continuing Karlachs quest, she at one point got an exclamation mark on her head, but she doesn’t want to talk, the exclamation mark remained for the rest of the playthrough there • At a certain point when you’re able to call your allies, I called the harpers, they were summoned, but were immediately hostile towards me, which made no sense in the context of calling „allies“ • Multiple times the corpses of NPCs distort and twist very weirdly • Sometimes when my character became encumbered, the condition didn’t go away, even when I got under my weight limit again, only killing the character and reviving fixed that problem

And these are only the ones I can remember from yesterday and today.

Well, I bet Larian will fix most of this stuff in the coming weeks/months, they seem to go fast with their hotfixes.

Yeah, I had that too. Seems like the option to hide the artifact from her isn’t completely scripted.

It doesn’t really matter, but wasn’t it a bathroom sink?

In Germany it also works as expected. I remember that we always pressed it like crazy in university when the elevator was already very full, so it didn’t even open when it stopped before the ground level.

What happens if you try the built in updater? (The one on the Setup page) And do you want to update to the newest build or to the the newest version (for example V10 to V11)?
