  • The Backtick That (Almost) Broke Me: Fixing German XKB Dead Keys on Linux - André Klein Dot Net

    Jump

  • And here I was wondering for ages now, who in his right mind would have chosen the incredibly cumbersome to type triple backticks combo as delimiters for code sections in markdown...

    And now this article just told me that the backtick is just another normal key outside of Germany...

    But serious question: How do you type characters with the back accent above them? Or you just don't?

  • Owning a 20MB hard drive for my Atari ST was still THE DREAM in 1989.

    Couldn't afford it, though, so it was 720kB floppy discs until 1996, when I got my first PC.

  • No, the analogy for bike lanes would be what has been posted in another comment:

    Right-turning cars typically have to cross the bikelanes going straight on, being one of the most dangerous situations for bicyclists and showing just how much of an afterthought the bikelanes are.

  • Thanks a lot!Just activated it, and a short test on two of the news sites I visit regularly confirmed it to be working! :-)

  • I have a Qwen3.6-35b-a3b model running on a dated desktop machine with 4GB VRAM.I use 8-bit-quant, but also have 48GB normal RAM.Delivers ~7tk/s, which is already totally usable for most things.Tried it on my recent Core-i7 company laptop with 8GB VRAM and got 20tk/s.Oh, and I am also using KoboldCPP (on a Linux foundation).

  • You can literally only make a left or illegal right.

    Why would turning right be illegal?As far as we can see, it is a lane with no mandatory direction (which is the thing that has been bugging me in the first place).

    But, TBF, I believed that myself for a long time, only to have the called police give me a little crash course in traffic lane rules after I had a car crash in a somewhat similar situation...

  • Maybe the arrows are covered by the cars.

    Not in the first panel.If there were arrows, they should be visible in parallel to the arrows going to the right.

  • Why would it be a left-only lane?There are no arrows on the lane...

    And even if it was, you still have to indicate your desired direction, as the direction of the lane might not be clear to all traffic participants.

  • Chat control

    Jump

  • And it is not only this.It also has the danger to invoke "chilling effects", so self-censorship in normally private environments.Chat control and similar ideas are anti-democratic and suppressive at their very core.

  • My spouse does the same (and I would also do, but I am a diehard bicyclist...).

    The city's unpredictable road repair schedules and other unforeseen circumstances (e.g. we recently were led around a huge area because they were defusing another bomb), makes always activating navigation the sensible choice.

  • Yes, it is a fucked up intersection, although the two lanes don't merge into one.

    But what you don't realize there (because of coming out of a slight ditch) is that the target road on the left you are going to, actually has two parallel lanes.

    Didn't expect that at all, and the hinted broken lines on the ground are practically useless, as they have to connect 8 arriving lanes to all their possible counterparts in a chaotic way on a curved surface.

    So I just headed to the right side of the left road (not realizing I thereby did a implicit change of lanes), while the car to my right was totally unexpectedly overtaking me from behind, starting from the unmarked lane I didn't suspect to also optionally lead to the left...

    Really fucked up situation for anyone not being local and accustomed to it.

  • Thanks, that idea has a certain beauty to it.I will now adopt it and move closer to inner peace again!

  • Should be visible on the first panel, unless painted totally randomly out of sync to the right-pointing arrows.But that would also trigger my sense of order, soooo... :-)

  • I don’t think you have to indicate left when it’s the only possible direction you can go

    But with no arrows on the ground, you could also go to the right.

    Had to learn that the hard way some years ago, when a car standing on a arrow-less lane, unexpected by me, also turned left together with myself standing on the left-arrow-lane.We then had a crash while merging lanes, and it was determined to be my fault entirely.

    So the comic also triggers a bit of PTSD for me... ;-)

  • What's a NON-HORROR NON-DOCUMENTARY movie that disturbed you or made you very uncomfortable?

    Jump

  • Mainly the pure sexism.While this is also present in the earlier films, Moore adds a slimey cheeziness I really just can't stand watching.Especially after having seen Lazenby's Bond just before, which was a move to a much more serious type of thriller, which I totally loved.

  • Am I the only one deeply irritated that the left going lane has no arrows and no one is indicating left either?This intersection really hurts my sense of order!

  • I recently did a rewatch of all the James Bond movies.The Moore ones from (especially) the late seventies made me cringe away really hard.Tried to watch them for completeness sake, but made me physically uncomfortable so in the end I skipped large parts.Didn't age well at all...I really like most of the older and newer ones, though.
