So, while the Infinite Monkey Theorem is true, it is also somewhat misleading.

Is it though? The Monkey Theorem should make it understandable how long infinity really is. That the lifetime of the universe is not long enough is nothing unexpected IMHO, infinity is much (infinitely) longer. And that's what the theorem is about, isn't it?!

After casting an open invite for people between the ages of 18 and 60 who previously had a mild case of COVID-19, Romano-Silva and colleagues in the preliminary study tested a group of 130 volunteers comprised mostly of women with a mean age of 38 years

Doesn't look like a balanced test group to me. Do they have any idea what might cause these cognitive deficits? Or is it just wrong self evaluation like this stupid vaccines cause autism study from 1990?

Don't take me wrong, COVID was horrible and all to real, but I don't believe these 1 in 4 people with mild cases have long lasting cognitive deficits bullshit. At least not if it is "proven" with studies like this

That's why they invented docker

Pazuzu@midwest.social explained above:

The original post only gave half the explanation. It’s not that lead exists in general, it’s that lead exists within zircon crystals.

Under normal circumstances that would be impossible, zircon crystals strongly reject lead atoms as they form. There’s no way to stuff lead into the crystal lattice in the quantity we find them there. But uranium and zircon go together just fine, we just have to wait for it to decay into lead. The trouble is it takes ~4.5 billion years for just half of those uranium atoms to turn into lead. So any zircon crystal we find with half as much lead as uranium must be roughly that old

Linux is pretty forgiving. You don't even need to use dd, if you know what you are doing you can create a totally new partitioning format and just copy the files. Since getting the fstab just right in that case is more error prone, just using dd is simpler. If using dd, don't worry, you can resize partition afterwards.

No, for fucks sake: I have no idea how Linux works and expect to be proficient after I installed ubuntu once. Must be Linux that is bad if my apt repositories don't work on arch. Fuck it, I'll go back to windows

Google is developing official support for running Debian Linux on Android devices through a new Terminal app using AVF.

Fuck off

Die Versicherung ist in der Beweispflicht. Problem bei mir war, dass das Schloss noch abgeschlossen da hing, was vermuten lässt, ich hätte das Schloss versehentlich nur über den Sattel gehangen. Da es Zeugen gab, hatte die Versicherung aber keine Wahl, als zu bezahlen.

Wenn das Schloss aufgebrochen wurde, ist das denke ich weniger ein Problem. Polizei hatte ich direkt eingeschaltet, als der Diebstahl bemerkt wurde.

Ob du ein neues Fahrrad kaufst und über die gleiche Versicherung weiter laufen lässt, oder dir das Geld ausbezahlen lässt, ist die überlassen.

Hab mir vor einiger Zeit ein e-Bike geholt und bei der Ammerländer Versicherung das rundum sorglos Paket für 13€ im Monat abgeschlossen. Nach zwei Wochen wurde mir das Bike auch direkt gestohlen. Die Versicherung hat mir erst unterstellt ich hätte es nicht richtig abgeschlossen, hat dann auf meinen Widerspruch hin direkt bezahlt. 5.000€

Wichtig ist, dass du dich an die Vorgaben bezüglich Schloss und Abstellort hältst, das kann sonst schnell dazu führen, dass du auf den Kosten hängen bleibst.

Ansonsten ist das aber eine super Sache und relativ erschwingliche Möglichkeit, um sich abzusichern.

"Allowed and supported" is something different then "its possible". The article mentions some points that seemingly haven't been "supported" in the past:

  • Stop requiring Google Play Billing for apps distributed on the Google Play Store (the jury found that Google had illegally tied its payment system to its app store)
  • Let Android developers tell users about other ways to pay from within the Play Store
  • Let Android developers link to ways to download their apps outside of the Play Store
  • Let Android developers set their own prices for apps irrespective of Play Billing

Google also can’t:

  • Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform
  • Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first
  • Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores
  • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks to preinstall the Play Store
  • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks not to preinstall rival stores

Thanks Mr. Epic Judge
