That explains why vibe coding is so popular… just commit after every iteration the LLM spits out

No, were ashamed that our species is collectively capable of voting for a guy like him. We’d love to point a finger at Americans and imitate Nelson with a “Ha Ha!” of pure Schadenfreude (and maybe even a meme of “That’s the worst president they’ve elected in the history of their nation! - That’s the worst president they’ve elected in the history of their nation so far!” or watch from the distance saying “He’s about to do something stupid”)

But honestly, we just can’t laught at Americans while they’re not only affecting and destroying their lifes but also try to drag down as many others world wide as you can.

Now I’m just sitting here waiting for a reply along the lines of:

No, he’s not my president - I’m from Europe/Asia/Africa/South America

Yeah, but that novel assumes, that they also had internet, electronic cash, mobile phones, etc. so you get the modern tracking possibilities combined with the literal Nazis. They just weren’t really proficient in using that, but that changes through out the story.

There’s a German novel called “NSA - Nationales Sicherheitsamt” (which is a literal translation of the US National Security Agency to German).

The plot is an alternative history in which the Nazis had some of today’s tech (read computers, internet, databases), although quite “ancient” and not with the full potential unlocked, that we have today. Then an analyst realizes, what one can do with this tech and that her queries endanger her friends more and more.

It’s adjusted to be used with small hands

I wonder if there is a real reason why it’s needed, or they just engineered themselves into a bad corner…

Same. They do have some features that sound kinda sane and may play a role here - like the system field are write protected. Programs can request to run a script on start-up to modify them before the write-protection kicks in. Also they might want/think it’s a good idea to run some part of the updates on the new kernel version instead of the old one or maybe do a cleanup on a successful boot or so. Also, maybe they want to force a reboot straight to Windows before the update is finished to prevent problems with dual boot - that could rule out “install and shutdown and only continue with the remainder on the next boot”. Also it might be for convenience, as the next boot is as fast as usual and you do not see 10 mins of “applying updates” when you didn’t calculate with that.

But if you offer “install and shutdown”, it should shutdown in the end and not stay on the lock screen and hopefully go into sleep mode…

So… Is the company on question a construction company or a brothel?

I somewhat get it - end as much processes as possible, apply everything that is possible, then restart and apply the remainder. My pet peeve is just that it should automatically shut down after applying the updates instead of staying at the lock screen, when I say install and shutdown…

I don’t have a Samsung currently, but IIRC the Samsung keyboard has a clipboard organizer that lets you access and paste the last x things you put in your clipboard.

On one hand it’s nice, as you could copy some text then the link afterwards and paste everything in e.g. a Lemmy post in one go. One the other hand it means, that it can and will access every in your clipboard. As long as you use it, it’s somewhat fine - the keyboard has access to everything you typed anyway. But if you’re not using it, either check if you can disable that feature or just disable the whole app if possible

Not that hole, I see you coming.

How’s your eye a hole? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

They’re a German invention and well known here. There are several variations, they’re usually a kind of sport/balance toy for kids and teens - but there are also some for medical uses. You can find some variants in pictures here: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedalo_(Spielgerät)

They’re also a recurring German meme, although I don’t really know why. The Wikipedia link above mentions them, but only says that it started with an image of a guy on Pedalos with the caption “Bruder muss los” (Bro needs to go) referencing a situation that you want to get out of, but have only inconvenient methods to leave.

In theory? Nothing.

In practice? If the court rules, that a ban is justified, it not only rules, that the AfD is unconstitutional and thus banned, but also all future groups that can be seen as its successors will be banned.
