Pseudoscorpion?

Yeah, it’s basically budget XKCD. The comic, started in 2003, has been steeply declining in production volume since 2013 and the last one was 2.5 years ago. I have scraped all 599 pages on the main website, plus there’s some on root.cz and Trustport, a now-defunct site available via archive.org (where the comics are in English already, such as this very funny one), I have yet to download. I have made a JSON index including tags, categories and body text, and I’ll probably translate a few of the images every week. I’m planning to make a GitHub Pages site plus a special Lemmy community and schedule a bot to post one daily. The earliest I can do this though is July.

Some will have to be in German (if you can make comic #3’s Kern des Pudels kompilieren make sense in English, let me know), some will need an extra explanatory paragraph, and some cannot be translated at all. Lemmy users will be happy to see that 2006 Linux jokes haven’t aged at all but I wonder how they’ll put up with semi-rude Czech humor, traditional gender roles and lack of diversity.

Of course there is a relevant Bugemos comic

“…by the end I would use Tor for every single thing…”
“…and change my email every day!”

“You see, most people here have troubles with alcohol, rather than anonymity…”

There’s like 600 of these and most are funny in English too. I should really translate them when I have the time…

I overwrote my posts and comments on my 50k-karma account with links to Lemmy during the API protest and left. I have the contents saved and respond to people who ask for it (on Lemmy of course). Still, my Contributor Quality Score remains “High” (tier 4/5) to this day.

There are 3 main forms of IP: patents (not relevant here), copyright and trademarks. Without consent of the holder, copyright only runs out on a time basis but what you’re calling IP falls into the “trademark” category, which don’t run out if continuously used by the holder. Some trademarks have become genericized and therefore invalid but this is a concern with product names, not fictional characters. There is no precedent in which fanon became so popular it overruled a trademark, because it can’t be published officially (it is easy to sue a single artist, it’s impossible to stop millions of people from calling any moving stairs “escalators” despite the former OTIS trademark).

Did you mean fanon “so different a trademark doesn’t apply”? That would be a different character entirely.

Still up on the website:

Werewolf Cream Glazing

Ingredients

• puff pastry sheets, 1 package
• puff pastry sheets, 1 package
• puff pastry sheets, 1 package
• werewolf-harvested honey, 1/4 cup
• water, 2 tbsp
• werewolf-vanilla extract, 1 tsp
• cream provided by 14 werewolf boyfriends, 1/2 cup
• werewolf cream glaze, To coat

I’d expect each of the 14 boyfriends to deliver more than 10 ml of cream, but who am I to judge?

This is a great time for the engineer to exert leverage.

"Yes, I can fix it in hours. Here are my demands:

• $200,000
• I’ll also push a firmware update to all your devices that allows setting any address for the server and exposes all functionality in a Home Assistant API, and you won’t ever disable this in current or future devices
• You’ll offer a free locally-connected button/knob device to any customer owning an affected product, or a free service to upgrade the products with on-device controls
• In any social media posts, press releases, customer communication or interviews regarding today’s outage, you have to say that plumbing that requires a server connection is a bad idea

It’s too long for a comment but I made a Markdown copy in a post here: https://feddit.org/post/10009622

You can’t really replace YouTube’s massive library yourself, the best you can do is avoid it but that’s hard too. As for the frontend, there is

• NewPipe/Tubular (Android, also supports Peertube, media.ccc.de, SoundCloud, Bandcamp)
• Piped (web, very privacy-friendly)
• Grayjay (Android and desktop, partially open source, support for many services including PeerTube and Odysee, $10 or guilt-tripping infinite free trial)
• Revanced as mentioned above

You’re lucky with Gmail. Both my work and school uses Outlook and they ban IMAP, POP3, third-party apps (even those with OAuth2) and also forwarding to another address. So I have to keep another browser or an anonymous window open for one of them, as it takes WAY too long to switch accounts and I’m NOT downloading the official Outlook app.

They recently made multi-country offline maps a premium feature. I’m moving away from them. Not to mention my personal grudge over that gorge in Romania.

Welcome!

We’re on the internet, we can post the link. OP should have, in fact.

What do you expect from a person who cannot install an OS (or at least does not consider it)?

Actually, the ratio is 5/3 for the vertical axis and 3/2 for the horizontal one. Yes, the pixel count decreased by 2.5x but scaling factors are expressed in linear terms, not quadratic. Not to mention, ASPECT RATIO DISTORTION of 9/10 (-10%).

Yeah, this map could have done without the legend

I signed ToS at my bank (Komerční banka, Société Générale) that stated I’m breaching the contract by “using [their services on] IT and mobile equipment with an altered OS (jailbreak, root)”. I hid Magisk and they didn’t detect anything. The QR scanner and NFC use Google libraries/services so they’re broken but it’s just an inconvenience. So unofficially, the list will be longer.

Don’t use C+Trump unless you’re extra careful. On every integer overflow the program goes bankrupt.
