But you should be able to set the locale separately from language. You can easily do that on any Unix/Linux system. In your locale.conf, set LANG to your language and all other LC_* variables to your preferred locale.

Systems that do not allow this are badly designed. For a lot of multilingual people, locale and preferred language are independent.

paru is written in Rust, yay in Go.

That’s pretty much the only difference. Since Rust is objectively superior to Go (I have never worked with either language so my opinion is as unbiased as can be) paru is clearly better.

Humans regularly kill large animals as well.

Though I’m unsure how much the presence of mines and absence of humans would affect animal deaths.

How do you install kindness and affection? They’re not on the AUR:

[yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de ~]$ paru -S kindness affection
:: Resolving dependencies...
error: could not find all required packages:
    kindness (target)
    affection (target)

I have, somehow, found love packaged though. But it’s not true love. It’s LÖVE (a 2d game engine) spelled with an ASCII typeset so I’m pretty sure I have installed the wrong dependency.

Over here in Germany encryption is most definitely illegal. This includes encoded messages only the intended recipient could decode.

USB-C requires a lot of space for charging, data transfer etc.

Let’s remove it too and make phones rely on wireless charging instead.

AI literally produces better answers than 99% of ad supported, SEOptimized websites.

That’s saying not a lot about AI though. It tells you how utterly awful searching the web is thanks to those sites.

For anyone else wondering what a “MENSA” member is:

Mensa International is the largest and oldest high-IQ society in the world.[3][4][5] It is a non-profit organization open to people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on a standardised, supervised IQ or other approved intelligence test.

I was already questioning why school/university cafeteria staff should get any benefits that aren’t present in other jobs.

Is the first shirt edited? It has a different font and theme (“obnoxious” atheism rather than self-disparagement).

which can also be gotten literally anywhere other than work

Can it? For absolutely everyone, regardless of (mental) health? No one benefits from being monetarily pressured to interact with people even if the interaction is only surface level?

That’s disingenuous because PETA shelters do not selectively take in animals with a high chance of adoption. From Wikipedia:

In 2012, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said that it had in the past considered changing PETA’s status from “shelter” to “euthanasia clinic”, citing PETA’s willingness to take in “anything that comes through the door, and other shelters won’t do that.”

It must feel really satisfying to pop a plate-sized pill from the blister packaging in their tail.

Keep in mind in Germany this only applies to children making 100,000€ per year or more with impoverished parents provided the parents did not abuse the children. If you can prove you were abused and it would be an undue hardship to provide support then you can be exempted.

Except other languages beat English.

Germans just say the numbers. For example, today is the 31st 5th. Who needs the month name anyways?

Have you ever used the GNU’s Not Unix Image Manipulation Program ToolKit America Online Instant Messenger?

That’s great and all but why bring up your favorite chewing gum flavor?

Sorry, I meant either confiscation of the domain or the server provider deciding to take everything down. The latter can be mitigated with backups but it will nevertheless result in long downtimes.

There’s generally no legal recourse or protection if any instance involved in hosting the site decides to break contracts. This sort of uncertainty sucks and has to be taken into consideration.

Simultaneously, you lose all rights to the site and risk a hostile takeover with no possible recourse.

It’s also significantly more effort to retain this level of anonymity from a state actor. I don’t even think there’s a single Lemmy instance which follows all those steps.

The thing is, as of right now German censorship doesn’t warrant this. Yes, it sucks you cannot freely speak about Israel. But frankly, since it only requires you to adjust your wording minimally without changing the message (“Israel should be destroyed” => “I support a one state solution where everyone in current-day Israel and Palestine can live freely, similar to how South Africa abolished apartheid.”) it’s really not worth it.

Should Germany turn fascist and ban all opposition, it is too late for feddit.org and their moderators anyways. If Germany doesn’t, feddit will be fine like this and reduce the strictness of these rules as German sentiment towards Israel slowly worsens over the coming years.

I don’t see an issue with OP bragging a little. It is difficult and time-consuming to install Gentoo for the first time. “😑” did a good job and should be proud of themselves for completing it!

Not really.

You can’t become anonymous and retain site ownership. The site would’ve needed to be shut down and a new, somehow completely unrelated site would have to be started.

Besides, even if that were done you bet your ass a random German lawyer would immediately sue the new site for violating Impressumspflicht. That’s one quick way to get the police investigating your site. Your OPSEC better be close to “hosting an illegal streaming site” level.

Even German forums about piracy would rather have an impress and remove illegal content than remain anonymous and evade police - see tarnkappe.info.
