And as we know it is impossible to give someone your physical card.

Side question. How come it is always the most incompetent people who get put in charge of implementing things like that. Over and over apps and services are developed in Germany and completely fail at what they are supposed to achieve. Where are these people recruited from?

Insurance and worker rights probably takes care of that here. What is it that personal injury lawyers usually do?

Proton is quite the bad example. Technically european but not in the EU and thus horrible privacy and data security regulations while claiming that being in Switzerland makes them trustworthy.

Yeah, impossible to read this site. Let me place the content where i want. If your screen is big enough you can literally not scroll on this site because it just jumps to the next chapter.

This thread is about the find-and-replace, not the evaluation. Gambling on whether the first AI replaces the right spells just so the second one can try finding them is unnecessary when find-and-replace is faster, easier and works 100%.

Man there's a rising amount of people who don't understand hypotheticals. How can you think that your comment "...I don't chose everybody?" is a valid answer to "If you chose everybody..." ?

What makes Valve special is that they were the first mover on those practices like lootboxes, gamepasses... but they never pushed it as far as the competition where it became predatory.

Yes and they could just make it(the rootkits) work on linux. It's more about the publishers/devs actively opposing linux.

The fact they don't already do that, sounds to me like the things produced by AI are not worth the investment. Especially since the output is not copyrightable, right?

If there was a lot of gold to find they wouldn't sell the shovels.

Good thing its not the Wikipedia but the dictionary definition then.

Nah.A tomato is clearly a vegetable like all the other plant parts. "Vegetables are edible parts of plants that are consumed by humans or other animals as food." All other definitions are just arbitrary and there is no reason why a tomato should not be considered a vegetable.

Stuck at level 4. "Everything except Mr. Potatohead is a vegetable" is the truth but not accepted. Apparently its some arbitrary definition of "vegetable"

So you suggest western countries should get birthrates up and that will fix climate change by offsetting the main producers in the country? How is per capita relevant.

Where do you get all that from? Except for famous cases like the Rote Flora in Hamburg or i guess Berlin in general there's not a lot of squatting going on in Germany, or is there?

In Germany squatting laws dictate you have to openly live at a place for 30 years and the property needs to be registered to your name in order for you to be able to claim ownership.So here it can hardly be a measure anyone can take to get a cheap place to live.

The amount of random plastic bottle caps in nature proofs that you can not be trusted to screw the cap back on.

And if anything the limit on vacuums forced them to innovate. My Vacuum today is far more effective than my 2000 watt vacuum was in the past.

>But I have never, and probably will never, buy game from anywhere that requires me to install a launcher and look at advertising before I get to play.

You'll be happy to hear that Steam does not require you to do any of that. If the game does not heavily rely on Steam services you don't have to have Steam started at all. I just tested some games and i could just start them from the executable without Steam running. I also disabled the news window you can get on startup and the Steam client starts on the library, not the store page.

So have fun.
