The logo in the bottom right is from a German satirical TV show, so “fake” is a good bet (dunno though, haven’t seen it).

Not sure I’ve ever seen an Arch user say that (not saying that never happened, just not anywhere I could’ve encountered it). It’s a meme at this point.
It’s asking for a password. What do I type? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I’m new to this Linux stuff.
Greenwashing is a bit harsh, no? From what I’ve seen, Fairphone is fairly involved in the improvement of production processes and usage patterns of phones (fairer wages, safer/cleaner ressource extraction, long-term software support, easier repairability for a wide audience) to the extent that this is possible for a relatively small company. They haven’t always delivered on every one of these points, but have had a pretty strong record in recent years, stronger than any other company I know of. Or maybe there are other companies that do this better or similarly well?
Same for me. Works when scrolling fast, crashes when scrolling more slowly, specifically when reaching this comment: https://lemmy.zip/post/21611692/12843040.
I like the position held by NOYB: Providers of websites that show either a restricted ad-supported version or an unrestricted subscription-based version of the site should be required to offer a third option that is restricted and ad-free for a fee that equals the market value of the information sold to advertisers (usually a few cents per month and per user).
I mean, a person with a mental disability probably won’t do something like this. A narcissistic billionaire who strongly overestimates his cognitive abilities on the other hand absolutely would.
Perfect example that “popularized” is different from “popular”.

Nerds fix stuff around the house? Girl, I couldn’t even repair that plumbing if I wanted to. This is a job for a professional.
Oh this was a high-end model (medium-sized pan, wooden handle, cost about 200€). This is why I was so disappointed that it didn’t last very long.
Carbon steel, yes. Stainless steel, no (you can season that one too, but the coating will not stick to the pan well due to the steel’s smoother surface).
Funny enough, I made the opposite journey. Bought a LeCreuset a while back and had to toss it after 1.5 years, because the enamel started to flake off, despite great care handling/cleaning it. Replaced it with a cast iron skillet and am thoroughly enjoying its simplicity.
I wish I had an explanation for that, because subjectively I feel the same.
Yes, the 2.3% increase is the inflation rate for July 2024 versus 2023. Regarding the “how is it measured”: This is an interesting topic.
Typically, inflation is measured by tracking a consumer price index (CPI) over time, which is a weighted average of prices for a wide selection of consumer goods (i.e., a typical “market basket”) and other living expenses (e.g., rent). The weights are computed on the basis of surveys, and the prices are tracked in a decentralized manner by market watchers (both online and in stores). The German federal statistics agency has a documentation for their weighting method here. They also provide a tool for computing a personalized inflation rate that is adjusted to someone’s individual consumer behavior.
One interesting part about rent is that it typically reduces estimated inflation rates when they receive a large weight in the computation, because large rent increases happen only when people move to a new apartment (which happens relatively rarely, so the impact of rent increases on yearly inflation is often relatively low). There are also other indices that use different weights and track different goods and services, so the inflation rate will be different for those.
Yeah, but can the 6am friends stay up all night browsing increasingly obscure websites, while reflecting on the poor state of the world and feeling helpless to change anything?
I think not.
Numerically or in terms of quality?
Edit: I guess I should’ve seen this coming.
On a scale of Fallout 2 to Fallout 76, what’s the expectation for this title?
Split Horizon sounds really high-level.
