This is hilarious

Some clients make it worse by not wrapping text in code blocks. Please use > at the start of each line (including blank ones between paragraphs) to make a quote block. If you need a newline (such as in poems), end the line with 2 spaces and just one line break. If you really need to put non-code inside a code block (such as ASCII art or this), the best practice is to use the following syntax:

```text
bla bla bla
```

This specifies text as the syntax-highlighting language (which obviously means no highlighting) rather than whatever the default is (Java?).

Call them Li-Ion batteries to prevent confusion with lithium batteries such as CR-2032, which probably have been used in pagers.

Overloaded Li-Ion batteries don’t reliably explode. I would have expected them to place the explosive inside an oversized battery pouch along with a heating element in series with the battery. A microcontroller on the board could go short-circuit upon receiving a certain message, making a large current flow through the heating element and triggering the explosive.

Very few languages spell it “kurčatovium”, which pretty much only left Czechia and Slovakia. After that, it was a basic search of your profile.

And @kurcatovium@lemm.ee; I’m 95% sure they are Czech.

Trojan is any malware that pretends to be a legit program. It does not need to have backdoor or info stealing capability even though most malware (trojan or not) today does. For example, pre-Internet trojans might just invisibly install themselves along the actual program they were bundled with and then nuke the system on a certain date. Antivirus companies would even advance the date on their systems in hopes of detecting these and being the first to develop a patch.

But since this program is not malicious, it just straight up hogs system resources and/or crashes it due to a mistake, it cannot be considered malware and therefore not a trojan.

Certain Intel processors from around 2000 would crash everything when loading the 4 bytes F0 0F C7 C8 into a specific register. Would you consider this a backdoor because it allows any program to crash the system? I wouldn’t say so, crashing Windows 98 was probably not too hard anyway…

I installed FakeStore and set the app’s installed_by* property from Package Manager to FakeStore (com.android.vending, the same as Google Play Store), which was enough to fool the public transport app I’m using. Is this the workaround you’re talking about, or does it require MicroG too?

* Not what it’s actually called, can’t remember that

It’s the apps that prevent themselves being sideloaded. Presumably, their devs will enact similar policy on EU iOS too.

And hours of The Office, presumably.

as in “are you seeing what I’m seeing”?

What do you mean? There is a lot of memes featuring Jim Halpert and I don’t know which one we’re talking about.

Well, then you’re going to hear

most of the time, much like Spotify.
(Last time I was in a Spotify-“enhanced” waiting room was 6 years ago so no idea if that still holds.)

You just described the Czech pub stereotype in a nutshell. They love complaining and arguing and do it for sport, but when somebody disagrees with their worldview on a substantial level, they won’t get invited to the table at all.

Does this pub behavior extend to ActivityPub? Maybe…

Woah, another Czech Lemmy user! @pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org @subarctictundra@lemmy.world There’s like 4 of us!

Well, honestly the administration is more than a single person, which is why the other points raised by @DandomRude@lemmy.world are important.

Too bad a hundred million people are still too detached from reality to acknowledge this. The unfucking of America will take at least the better part of a century.

The sad thing is, he will end up winning more than 20 states despite this.

Finally implementing something pirates have taken for granted since the first digital cross-platform audio file format (1983?)

They are purposefully slowing down old.reddit.com. Expect a lot of refugees when its inevitable shutdown happens.

Anyway, infrastructure mismanagement is typical for late-stage enshittification. Value of the company goes down, and execs who have sold their shares high are quietly stealing equipment from the datacenter to get some value out of it. (Not literally, they just fire any techs who suggest overdue upgrades and give themselves a bonus for making such a difficult decision.)

…Like MS-DOS getting open sourced. It’s pretty much worthless unless you need to use some really old device.
