@deadfast Also in typical Microsoft-fashion they half-assed it. It can display a file with Unixoid line endings, but you still can't create a new file with anything else but CRLF line endings. Because that would probably be way too much feature creep or something. Maybe in 2038's Notepad update. It's better than nothing though, I guess...

@cartman82 Veteran? Maybe he has PHPTSD and every time he opens the documentation he gets some sort of panic attack. Would explain the long periods of inactivity and maybe the toilet as well ^^

I wake up. I don't feel very well. I soon establish that my condition is caused by a severe deficiency of $64.59 in my bank account.

RE: Full disk encryption
@remi said in Full disk encryption:
(and also, quite realistically, I can imagine that a competitor glimpsing sales number on a computer in e.g. an airport could see some interesting information, but a few lines of code are unlikely to be as immediately sensitive -- it might show which libs are used but it won't tell much about the algorithms or data structures, which are the real interesting bits)
That's probably true. I mean, most of the time I'm not sure what I'm doing at a specific part of code, so how could anybody else just from a glimpse XD

A tank going 120 km/h would be fun (in the Dwarf Fortress sense) right up until the first bend XD
Well, there’s always the case of the Leopard that did 80 km/h backwards …
During hot-weather testing of a prototype in the 1960s in Italy, test equipment in the engine compartment failed and jammed the brake system, which was discovered when the tank crested a 150-meter hill. It came to a halt after 1.3 km, having made jumps of up to 40 meters along the way.
Having worked at KMW (the manufacturer of, among others, the Leopard 2) for a while that seems like something that could happen today as well. Let's just say I've seen a fair share of "That shouldn't have happened!"s ^^"

Man you just have to love the German military abbreviations. I used to live close to a military school and often drove by the sign pointing to the FüUstgSBW (Führungsunterstützungsschule der Bundeswehr). And recently I worked on a project concerning a bridge laying tank, also known as the GefBrSys (Gefechtsbrückensystem). Really rolls of the tongue, doesn't it? XD

Leaning the backrest back the maximum amount where there's someone sitting behind them.
Your public transit busses have adjustable backrests? That sounds like a recipe for disaster...

I never saw the point in these things.
There isn't any. Yet.
For private/hobby use maybe. But I've 3D printed parts for prototypes for my dad that would have been quite a pain to machine any other way, and especially repeatedly (even for the ~5 pieces we needed). So they can come in handy in some situations.

RE: Tinder is shit
@Benjamin-Hall said in Tinder is shit:
My brother managed to gaslight me into believing that everything I did/said/was is wrong and will fail. That it's ALWAYS my fault. For everything. Even if I wasn't involved, I screwed it up somehow.
Ah yes. Sounds familiar, though in my case it was/is my dad. I've been in therapy for a while now but that one's a bitch to overcome :|

don't go into it with the mindset that you're definitely going to fail.

-Moment. Don't get me wrong, your advice may be good, but that little thing can already be a huge obstacle to some people...

: Those fonts look cool, but what if our users don't have any fonts installed? Just use pictures of letters, that way it works for everyone!
I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the actual reasoning behind it. Doesn't explain the "unique image for each and every letter" but I think plain stupidity explains that pretty well.

A tank going 120 km/h would demonstrate fun regard for the bend too.
True, I phrased that badly. I actually meant "up to and including" the first bend ;)

@PleegWat said in Internet of shit:
@Zerosquare I looked those up once after seeing them in Germany. Apparently they're speed limits - military trucks and tanks can safely drive 120 km/h on that road when it's used for one-way traffic only and closed for non-military traffic.
Not speed but weight limits. Tanks don’t do 120 km/h (well, not unless you take the governors off and don’t care about engine and transmission life, anyway). These signs can be found at pretty much all bridges in (West?) Germany and show the maximum allowed MLC of vehicles to cross the bridge at a time.
Beat me to it, I was just about to say something ^^. A tank going 120 km/h would be fun (in the Dwarf Fortress sense) right up until the first bend XD
