Similar for me. I have an old Philips “smart” TV (actually today it is very dumb as basically all services are disabled and all apps heavily outdated) which I occasionally use for watching TV, but most times I use the attached Raspberry Pi with Kodi for watching German public broadcaster’s Mediathek, Youtube or Amazon Prime.

A TV usually comes with a remote, a monitor doesn’t. Additionally, you can use it to watch linear TV if you don’t feel like making an election.

Wait till they’ve built their super vergeltungstanker submarines.

It’s optimised for use against HDBT (hard and deeply burried targets) and high-value targets.

As far as I understood, @Lazycog@sopuli.xyz was talking about the phonetic alphabet used in the armies of NATO countries, which is standardised by ICAO as Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, … and is not the everyday phonetic alphabet in each country, e.g. in Germany commonly Anton, Bertha, Cäsar, … but there are plenty of different versions and variants for each German speaking country.

If we would go back to Latin, it wouldn’t be the Latin as spoken by Cicero but some Vulgar Latin, as it is the origin of Romance languages like Italian, with simpler Grammar.

Maybe they are still being manufactured, like the IRIS-T systems, are still being adapted to Ukrainian target systems, as e.g.the Gepard, or are still in maintenance. As the article, unfortunately, doesn’t go any deeper than the statement in the headline, it remains unknown which systems promised by which countries are affected.

AfaIk, posts and comments cannot be exported.

For the rest you may use the “export settings” function in the “personal settings” section on the webpage of your Lemmy instance (yet I don’t know what is actually exported).

Alternatively, you may use one of the tools mentioned in this post (the post is in German, the linked webpages are in English): https://slrpnk.net/post/10923543

Now that the russians have discovered the exponential function, please don’t tell them that it doesn’t make sense to apply it everywhere.

Sort of, but Switzerland is not going to sell you spare parts, ammunition and so forth when you are at war.

Pacta sunt servanda.

Also Switzerland as a neutral country can choose to supply weapons to both sites.

AfaIk, exactly this was their argument for not providing weapons to Ukraine, as then they as well would have to deliver weapons to russia (in case they ask for some).

You may use them to defend yourself, but you are not allowed to give them to your neighbour giving them the ability to defend themself.
Restrictions on re-export are not uncommon. It’s the Swiss’ criteria arising from neutrality that are weird.

That’s the English text. In the German original (Wikipedia ), it says wer ist die schönste Frau (who is the most beautiful woman):

*Sneewittchen aber wuchs heran, und als es sieben Jahr alt war, war es so schön, daß es selbst die Königin an Schönheit übertraf, und als diese ihren Spiegel fragte: „Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand: wer ist die schönste Frau in dem ganzen Land?“ sagte der Spiegel: „Frau Königin, Ihr seyd die schönste hier, aber Sneewittchen ist noch tausendmal schöner als Ihr!“ Wie die Königin den Spiegel so sprechen hörte, ward sie blaß vor Neid, und von Stund an haßte sie das Sneewittchen, und wenn sie es ansah, und gedacht, daß durch seine Schuld sie nicht mehr die schönste auf der Welt sey, kehrte sich ihr das Herz herum. Da ließ ihr der Neid keine Ruhe, und sie rief einen Jäger und sagte zu ihm: „führ das Sneewittchen hinaus in den Wald an einen weiten abgelegenen Ort, da stichs todt, und zum Wahrzeichen bring mir seine Lunge und seine Leber mit, die will ich mit Salz kochen und essen.“ *

But Snow White grew up, and when she was seven years old she was so beautiful that she surpassed even the Queen in beauty, and when she asked her mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful woman in all the land?” the mirror said, “Madam Queen, you are the most beautiful here, but Snow White is a thousand times more beautiful than you!” When the Queen heard the mirror speak thus, she turned pale with envy, and from that hour she hated Snow White, and when she looked at her, and thought that through his fault she was no longer the fairest in the world, her heart turned round. Then her envy left her no peace, and she called a huntsman, and said to him, “Take the Snow White out into the forest to a far-off place, there she will be killed, and as a token bring me his lungs and liver, and I will boil them with salt and eat them.”

In addition, the evil queen originally is the mother of Snow White.

Sorry, I don’t have more information than you can find in the Wikipedia articles.

The church that has been set on fire (but not destroyed) in WW2 wasn’t exactly the one on the painting either, as that one was destroyed during the Seven Years’ War.

1. Because if you scan it, it is saved into your app and not stored anywhere else. If you take a photo of it, it’s saved into your camera roll, which is a security vulnerability. Same goes for the other party.

Why should anyone take a camera to take a screenshot or click on ‘save image’? Additionally, the secret key would be stored as well on the messenger app you are using to share the key among the group members.

2. What is the other party supposed to do when they receive it? They can’t scan their phone screen with their phone camera…?

Aegis, e.g. can open images containing a QR code and import the key that way. I assume other apps can do the same.

Beside it’s inefficient to send text data as an image, why does it make a difference?

If the app has offers option to open an image with a QR code, IMHO it is more convenient, to send the image of the QR code (I’d try ‘save image as’ instead of a screenshot though). When sending text, you and the recipient manually have to copy the information and the recipient also has to paste it into the right field.

Ah, obviously you’re right and bash is less tolerant to spaces than I’ve had in my mind:

You can declare aliases that will last as long as your shell session by simply typing these into the command line. The syntax looks like this:
alias alias_name="command_to_run"
Note that there is no spacing between between the neighbor elements and the equal sign. This is not optional. Spaces here will break the command.

Preferred over alias is function llaa { … }. Alias is for backwards compatibility.

Again what learned. What is wrong with having spaces around the equals sign, though?
