My parents split up when I was in my 20s. They both moved out of the house I had grown up in. My girlfriend and I stayed and rented it from my dad, planning to buy it from him as soon as we were financially stable enough to get a loan.

Fast forward a few years to me having a well-paying job and my girlfriend almost being done with university. Things were looking really good. On my 30th birthday, my dad abd his new wife suddenly started pestering us about the house being too big, too expensive, too whatever for us to the point of ruining the whole evening. A week later I got a letter from him, telling me I had six months to get the money or get out, strongly suggesting the latter. Never even got a reason.

Swabian here. I like C#. Guess that fits.

I wrote most of my Bachelor’s thesis and parts of my Master’s thesis to nothing but Watch the Skies from Skyrim on loop.

Lately? Firefox…

I don’t think “boring” is the right word for Outlaws. It has much less of the repetitive stuff that has plagued Assassins Creed for years now and instead puts in stuff that’s less frequent but more memorable. I’ve played for about 10 hours so far and it’s been the most fun I’ve had with an open world game in a long time. The annoying stuff is mainly bugs (not too many for me so far) and quality of life stuff like infrequent save points. A few patches down the road this could still become game of the year material.

So far I was fortunate enough to not experience the weird AI bugs but that checkpoint system is sooo infuriating. There’s a side quest where you need to infiltrate a rather large imperial base on Toshara and even the tiniest misstep halfway through the quest will send you back outside the base. It’s 2024, my PS5 is powerful enough to just dump the whole world state from RAM to SSD within a second or two. Why can’t I save manually during a mission?

Other than that, amazing game. It just feels like Star Wars in a way that nothing since KOTOR and Jedi Knight 2 did.

As far as I know, ActivityPub only applies to server to server communication. Still, many applications that implement ActivityPub (for example Mastodon) do use push notifications for their clients.

One more difference is that RSS is polling based, meaning that subscribers have to actively ask every hour or so if thre is new content.

On the other hand, ActivityPub knows who is subscribed and can actively distribute new content to other servers who can in turn send push messages to their users, letting you know about new content within seconds.

Now that you mention it, that’s right. While we can’t be sure if that drink actually contained alcohol, the size and shape of the glass at least heavily implies it.

I don’t know. At least during the high republic era with one master and one student, I’d imagine that getting drunk and accidentally showing everyone around you that you have force powers would be extremely dangerous, even more than for a jedi.

I would assume force users (both Jedi and Sith) would be forbidden by their masters from using anything mind-altering, except maybe in strictly controlled rituals. And for good reason. Can’t have people running around, randomly force-pushing strangers from a 120th floor balcony on Coruscant.

I‘ve had the honor to already see a live demo of the first area (perks of knowing some of the devs in person) and the level of polish is amazing. Especially the animations, effects and sound design. Even this early version feels so much more impactful than many finished games. The trailer doesn’t do it justice, so watch out for whatever they show next.

Sprachspaßwort sounds like something straight out of a law or industry standard which I guess that makes it heterological.

Orphan Black if you like mystery

Filezilla itself is not the problem. Deploying to production by hand is. Everything you do manually is a potential for mistakes. Forget to upload a critical file, accidentally overwrite a configuration… better automate that stuff.

Can confirm that it doesn’t load on iOS but loads fine on desktop.

Same in Germany

Not only an author but the co-creator and original host of Die Sendung mit der Maus, Germany’s longest-running and most popular educational show for children.

I keep mixing up Armin Meiwes and Armin Meiwald. Really unfortunate coincidence that their names are so similar yet what they’re known for is so different.
