I participated in a study a year ago where i had to solve visual YES/NO logic puzzles that relied on fast pattern and spacial recognition skills. While i was doing those for like 40 minutes i was getting my brain scanned in an MRT. Apparently i was well above average in speed and precision. I feel like video games might have helped with that but it might just be genetic idk.

Maybe in 10 years someone will invent another new language that will solve everything and then all the Rust code will have to be changed again. The cycle continues endlessly lol

The US starting a war with Canada and Mexico would very much result in a world war. There is no way the rest of the world would sit idle if that happened.

If Beijing wants the canal to stay open to the world, then China needs to prop up Panama big time. Make it so they wont have to worry even if sanctioned.

The US will either have a civil war or start a world war. I for one hope they have the former, before it gets to the latter.

You should really just do this without any web application. Just use a background shell script that does the resizing automatically on any image file that you dump into a certain folder. I have similar stuff set up for naming and sorting based on geo location data.

You can even make this work for mobile by having the folder that the script runs on synced to your phone. You take a pic on your phone, it gets synced to your desktop, converted by the script, synced back to your phone.

This way it also works if you want to share large amount of photos (of a trip or event or something)

I mean they didnt write that in the article from this post that was published 3 hours ago. I assumed it would be up to date, so thanks for the correction. I guess the guardian is just outdated or intentionally misleading then.

There are a few of these places in switzerland iirc. I went hiking around a glacier a couple years ago and there they just banned private cars in addition to it being almost impossible to get one up there. There were electric mini busses and shuttles for all residents and visitors. All technical workers (like plumbers and gardeners) had their own or shared versions of these shuttles with little trailers on them to carry tools.

Putin agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure

damaging homes and injuring civilians

They technically didnt violate the terms i guess, but this is not what was intended i believe.

Well no he is calling them “controlled by parasites”. Either way, dude is becoming more deranged every day.

Musk, the owner of X, said on Monday that his companies “make great products that people love and I’ve never physically hurt anyone, so why the hate and violence against me?”

“Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls,” Musk said on X.

Great that they quote Musk but dont even give a single sentence to an attempt at explaining the possible motivation behind these attacks. I know it, they know it, but apparently its forbidden knowledge just like when Luigi did his thing.

But dreaming is so fuuun, dont wake me up yet…

other OSs are catching up slowly but surely.

Which ones are those? Linux is a rock, it doesnt budge it just slowly but surely does its thing. Thats why people use Linux, because it serves its purpose and it has been doing that for a while without Rust.

I no longer feel safe

Please don’t make assumptions

Yeah wtf is that. If there are reasons to feel unsafe that arent just entirely individual, then you should tell other people that might be in danger. If its entirely individual, then state that so that other people wont be worried about their safety.

if shareholders start shenanigans.

That happens only when user count and platform lock in are past the point of no return. This sentence is the essence of why platforms have been allowed to do this again and again.

Its already too late for bluesky, because even if they started federating now, any other instance would be in such a minority that it would have zero sway over the wider federation if bluesky HQ went rogue.

Individual experience carries little weight in my opinion. The evidence does and there is plenty of it and many articles over the years covering it: https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/12/08/culture-of-impunity-across-eu-over-violence-against-migrants-ngo-warns

The second edition of the “Black Book of Pushbacks” compiled by the Border Violence Monitoring Network (BVMN) documents more than 1,635 testimonies of human rights violations affecting almost 25,000 people over the past six years.

They recount being beaten, kicked, humiliated through forced undressing, threatened with a firearm, arbitrarily detained and subjected to inhuman treatment inside a police station before being illegally pushed back both at the EU’s external borders and from deep within the territory of the bloc’s member states.

BVMN meanwhile described itself as “concerned with the growing number of countries using disputed border regions, and so-called ‘neutral zones’ or ‘no-mans lands’ as a location of torture and inhuman treatment against people-on-the-move.”

At least 17 people died between September and New Year’s Eve 2021 at the border between Belarus and Poland after being stranded in one such no man’s land by authorities on both sides of the border.

Euronews is a company under majority ownership of the Hungarian dictator Victor Orban, so if even they report it this way im pretty confident the evidence is quite damning.

For good measure some AP https://apnews.com/article/europe-treaties-united-nations-europe-european-mass-migration-crisis-698431db3975c8e5e018400cbad03a35

This is not some super fresh disputed news topic, its well documented and has been happening everywhere on the eastern european borders for years. I have friends and family who have personally seen the violence inflicted by the soldiers and police that carry out these pushbacks with batons and attack dogs and guns. There is plenty of victim witnesses and video evidence.

Political environment doesnt justify human rights violations. We have these rules for a reason and if we start breaking them already before the war even starts, then we might as well surrender.

Also since when does Germany have a refugee issue? Has someone listened to too much right wing propaganda?

Basically torture yep. Dont go to the US.
