Both. We can’t perceive the world exactly the same way as another person. Therefore, what we make of it is also individual and every point of view is valid in its own way.
Take a Rorschach-Test, for example. There are examples most people can agree on, they show a specific thing. Others are wildly subjective. What a creator intends to invoke with their creation and what the audience receives are not necessarily the same, but that doesn’t invalidate one side’s interpretation.
Yes/No. There are quirks such as “ton” but in essence you can say 1 million gram and everything is fine. Remembering all those short forms is a nice to have, not a requirement.
Uhm, it might sound arrogant but in metric you don’t need that sort of thing? The next order of measurment is just ±10^x where X is the number of dimensions you want to look at: 10 for i.e. length, 100 for area and 1000 for volume.
Lets look at length: Most commonly used are Millimeter, Centimeter, Meter and Kilometer.
Meter is the base. The name centimeter derives from meter and the Latin word centum meaning 100.So a centimeter is hundredth of a meter (decemeter, 10th, ist not really used much in everyday life). One step further down is millimeter: mille is Latin for thousand, therefore a millimeter is a thousandth of a meter.
Going up Greek prefixes are used: Deka-(10) and hektometer (100) are rarely used and Greek chilloi means thousand and therefore a kilometer is 1000 meters.
Staying in one dimension the same applies to gramme for weight: Milligrams, Gram and Kilograms are the moat common.
Going up in dimensions we use the same prefixes but the multiplyer changes because 10^2 is 100. So to go from 1 m² (one meter to the width times one meter depth) to 1 km² (thousand meters wide times thousand meeter deep)) the multiplier is not 10³ (1000) but 100³.
The whole prefixes are effectively optional and just for better readability.
That’s the thing: You can’t unless you are already well-informed beforehand.
Yes, it is possible to spot common rhetorical deceptions such as whataboutisms or straw man arguments, but misinformation in general is impossible to debunk in real time unless it defies common sense such as “Immigrants are eating the pets of locals”.
A popular talking point here in Germany when the government was trying to push for installing heat pumps instead of gas or oil based heating solutions was, that installing a heat pump would entail massive renovation costs to make its use viable. This information is semi true because installing a pump in older buildings might indeed require renovations. But exposing this argument as a broad overgeneralization takes so much time and effort that it is impossible to do on the spot, unless you have prepared multiple examples of home configurations and the associated costs of installing a heat pump.
The whole idea behind Steve Bannon’s famous tactic of “flooding the zone” is to flood the discussion with so much misinformation it would take a disproportionately amount of time to debunk it all.
TBH I don’t bother with watching discussions anymore because of this.
I am using PassAndroid
Most of the time these ‘Add to X Wallet’ buttons lead you to an .pkpass File which you can import. The app doesn’t look very nice but it does the job for me.
There are dozens of us! Dozens!
Even better you can also to a GDPR to change your email. The GDPR doesn’t just cover your right to deletion but also the right to correct wrong information.
Issue #1113 by any chance? :D
Not necessarily a phishing mail. I got tagged in an issue that some idiot created and codeberg dutifully sent me a mail notification.
End badly for whom? Everage Joe? Every time yeah. For the guys on top? Only if they get opposed by a worldwide coalition.
Well, that’s the magic of open source 🤷
No, you are not. People regularly equate Git and GitHub, though.
Btw. question from Germany regarding Trumps Felony: I read that people convicted of a felony may not vote yet I also read that Trump cast his in Florida. Hoe does it actually work?
The Chaos Computer Club Initiative Chaos macht Schule might be able to help you with some materials and guidance.
It’s different so I don’t like it! That’s at least until I am used to them in 2-5 days.
On more serious note: The delta/up/down count section on posts looks a bit overloaded to me. Not sure what I would change though.
TL;DR: A permissive license allows doing almost everything, including turning the code into proprietary products.
Also, there is this (German) collection of online shops sorted by categories.
I assume it’s the same as the Internet (or more specifically HTTP): It wasn’t designed with security in mind.
Unlike HTTP, for some reason it wasn’t included in a new specification, though. My guess is that’s because of the more centralized nature of cellular networks. The barrier for entry is a lot higher as well so there are few but big players who have little incentive to improve over the bare minimum.
IIRC encryption was initially proposed to be part of 5G but got shot down in the process.
