  • Highway to hell!

    Jump

  • OK, yes. The issue is only that I've never seen it used in an OK situation. Probably because I drive in the most suitable right lane, unless overtaking. I only ever see it being used while overtaking, which should be visible for the person speeding. And that is not a situation where it's fine to signal your intent for overtaking. When there's an Elefantenrennen that forces others into the left lane, you can signal all you want. There are simply too many cars to drive fast. I don't know how often I've been bullied out of the left lane, fearing for my safety, only to merge right back right behind the asshole who's now stuck behind the car that was right in front of me. I'll never understand that mindset.

    Contrary to OP I hate driving on German highways because of the amount of aggressive assholes. I always found driving in the Netherlands much more relaxing.

  • More often than not, people move to the right once they are done overtaking someone else. It's just that these maneuvers take longer than the assholes who flash their high beams or who tailgate can handle. And those are the situations where the traffic situation simple doesn't allow for their speeding.

  • The fuck kinda driving school did you go to? Both flashing your high beams and using the horn is simply not allowed and counts as "Nötigung". If someone is in the left lane while not actively overtaking, should move to the right, no discussion there. But when I encounter aggressive assholes, the kind who uses high beams, it's always when there's too much traffic to race across Germany.

  • There are no "polite flashes". If you have to bully other cars out of the left lane, you're driving faster than traffic allows.

  • What's the dumbest way you've sustained an injury, and what was the injury?

    Jump

  • A pinched nerve is a real diagnosis, in that you generally know what happened. But unless there are other red flag symptoms you don't look for the actual cause, because it's really difficult and it only takes two to three days to recover. Usually a symbol of underdeveloped muscles in your back.

  • I once twisted a nerve in my shoulder by sitting down wrong in the bus.

  • Why Microsoft open sourced PowerShell and ported it to Linux

    Jump

  • Same here. I keep hearing that Powershell is so good, but I have to look up every little thing. It's all too specific and you can't remember it all.

  • Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?

    Jump

  • I wanted to say the same, but then I saw the avatar next to your name and realized that I do in fact see avatars. I just never noticed and still don't care.

  • Anime Recommendations

    Jump

  • I just read up on it and now I remember the scene. No idea what I thought about it previously, though. I understand what the studio was trying to achieve with the attempted rape. It was just an asinine way to go about it.

    Jump

  • Uh, I don't even remember that. It's been a while since I watched that movie.

    Jump

  • I love me some Patlabor. Really recommended if you want something for adults. Wings of Honneamise should also be on that list.

  • Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.

    Jump

  • I used to use Pocket a lot, it was my main way to read long form articles. I somehow stopped doing that years ago as a way to preserve my mental health. Since then I haven't used Pocket once.

  • I don't understand some people

    Jump

  • I hate posts about some vocal asshat complaining about something being woke. Anybody who uses the word woke derogatory is an asshole who doesn't deserve a moment of my attention.

  • Locked

    Vibe Coders might be serious, but I cannot take them seriously, especially when they say "It is a must-have skill".

    Jump

  • I saw that my Jetbrains All Product Pack subscription also includes their AI assistant and in Go it's really able to write and refactor things in a useful manner. But I think a large part is that I've been programming for 30 years and I am able to tell the thing exactly what I want and can mention things I do not want and also spot issues. Right now I don't see how they can manage a complete codebase, which I understand vibe coding to be. There are just so many things than can (subtly) go wrong and AI at the moment is not able to help with that. But they also keep getting better, so who knows where we'll be in a year or two.

    Why do you block people?

  • Same. I have no problem with her or her comics. But whenever I see one being posted, I sigh and ponder whether to open the clusterfuck that the comment section will be.

  • TIL that Nazi Germany had a program called Lebensborn where ideal German men and women would produce a baby and then all three would go their separate ways.

  • I first tried vi in the early 90s, before I had easy access to online resources. I had to open a new shell and kill the vi process to exit it. Next time I dialed into my usual BBS I asked how to exit that thing. But since then I've liked it, because vi has been on every system I ever ssh'ed into.

  • While that is true, for how long can you resist gravity? Gravity is the endurance hunter of the fundamental forces. Sure, you can lift your arm and resist the entire earth's gravity. But for how long, before you succumb to gravity's irresistible pull?
