What’s also fun is that you often still encounter these boundaries today. Many of those splotches are now administrative districts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Districts_of_Germany
And up until 2023, you often couldn’t travel by bus across multiple splotches without getting multiple tickets from the different regional providers. It was awful.
No idea, if that’s a regional thing that “Hochdeutsch” primarily means Southern German to you, but here in South Germany, I doubt anyone would be aware of your definition and everyone understands “Hochdeutsch” to mean “Standard High German”.
My dictionary does list the Southern German meaning, but it’s listed as the secondary meaning.
I have actually managed to unfuck my back at some point, by doing a motion like the cat on the right. 🥴
The photo looks like an art piece, too…
Last year, my doctor prescribed vitamins for me to inject into my tummy fat with a syringe. And let’s just say, I was glad to be doing that in privacy, because I most certainly felt like a drug addict.
Even the usual movie depiction of drug addicts being really messy and prodding or cutting themselves, I mirrored quite well, not from withdrawal shaking, but because I’m just really not practiced with syringes. 🫠
Gab vorher kein Firefox Maskottchen. Es gibt mehr oder weniger noch ein Mozilla Maskottchen mit dem ursprünglichen Dino-Logo, falls du das im Kopf hast:
It’s right-wing trolling that it’s specifically non-binary. It’s just iconography they use throughout Firefox, when displaying error messages or the like.
Mozilla didn’t bring it up. The story is made up by right-wing trolls.
This story is made up by right-wing trolls.
The dino represents Mozilla, not Firefox itself. And yes, for a while, Mozilla didn’t have the dino in its official branding, but it’s now back in there. The flag is a dino head. As per usual, significantly more drama was made about them “removing” the dino than it was worth.
I mean, I actually do think there’s significantly more supply than demand in this case. The thing is, you typically want some semi-credible backstory why these people know each other well enough to have the hots. And for that, stepfamily is really quick to explain and you can just film in someone’s house…
Apparently, it’s right-wing trolls who made up this non-binary thing. So, you are correct, but it came from the other side of the culture war.
They’re not talking about language with the male-as-default, but rather for example this:
The depiction with less discerning features is what we assume to be male. If you want to express female, you have to add a dress or long hair or curves etc…
There’s actual scientific research on this bias existing, although I don’t know in what way this extends to animal depictions.
There’s also analog computers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer
Alas, they got largely displaced by digital computers…
These days, you also likely get faster loading times when you self-host the font, because it can be sent through the same HTTPS connection and because caching doesn’t work anymore like it used to many years ago (cached files aren’t shared anymore between websites).
I’d guess, it’s the authtoken cookie, since that has the right kind of expiry date for me and, well, makes sense from an OIDC perspective.
I might see, though, if the suggestion from @AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com maybe works. The Outlook webpage also redirects to outlook.cloud.microsoft since like, yesterday, which might’ve also unfucked things somehow? At least, I didn’t get the logout loop, when I did try to test Alec’s method just now.
I like to use LilyPond for transcription. It’s basically LaTeX for sheet music.
For 8-bit music, I like to dick around with MilkyTracker. It’s a tracker-style composition tool, which basically came to be in early computing days. It takes a bit to get used to, but then it’s super simple for writing a quick chiptune.
And I guess, I’ll also throw in VMPK. It allows you to play piano on your computer keyboard, similar to how lots of DAWs do.
As with any such implementation, it’s unfortunately limited by keyboard rollover, but still useful for playing around with intervals and jamming a bit. It can also be used as MIDI input for audio software, which doesn’t have this feature built-in.
So, web Outlook has had a bug with Single-Sign-On for many months now. It independently checks an own cookie, whether it should log you out, so it can happen that you log in via SSO and then it immediately triggers the logout flow of your SSO provider to log you back out.
Well, and when I say “can happen”, I mean that this happens every single morning, unless I clear Outlook’s cookies beforehand.
So, every morning before I start working, I hit Ctrl+Shift+H in Firefox to bring up the history, type “outlook” into the search, right-click an entry and then select “Forget About This Site” to clear the cookies.
Except, through the magic of doing this regularly, I’ve started typing just enough to make the Outlook entries appear at the top. Which isn’t actually much shorter, but I noticed that I always just type “outloo”.
Which sounds like a combination of “outhouse” and “loo”. Which very much summarizes my feelings towards this Microsoft™ service, every time I have to do this. Which is every single morning. Fucking hell.
I, uh, haven’t yet. 😅
I’m not sure, what it’s called in English. In German, we have the sexy term “Lendenwirbelsäulenblockade” for it.
The internet tells me that it might be a “lumbar vertebral subluxation” in English, although that Wikipedia article sounds a lot more like quackery than my German impression of it. It might also be a “lumbar blockage”…?
But basically, one of the many joints in the spine for some reason loses its ability to move. And often times, the solution is to apply a bit of force, to get it unstuck. You *should* talk to a professional about this, or at least a chiropractor, because force won’t always be the correct solution.
But yeah, if you ignore those safety instructions, what you can do, is to slowly move your back into the position that the right cat is in (while on your knees and hands). Then slowly arch your back into the other direction. At some point, you might hear a pop, as the joint regains its ability to move and then that’s that.
