Just a small frog hopping from post to post. Because it may be Wednesday my Dudes!

Sometimes in German, sometimes in English.

    You are conflating paedophilia with sexual offenders. Which makes the situation worse for all potential victims because it makes seeking help more difficult for those paedophiles that do not want to become a perpetrator. There are legit therapies available to deal with paraphilias.

    Note that the majority of perpetrators is not paedophilic. Sexual assault is often about power and dominance. Children are simply easy targets.






  • My boss had a serious talk with my team lead that went something like “stop scheduling meetings that start or end directly to another scheduled event unless its something company-ruining urgent”.

    She is very considerate regarding other peoples time and always tries to leave at least 15 minutes between any meeting most of the time. She also demands a good reason and a short agenda for each meeting. If you cannot deliver this, she will not attend the meeting. On the other hand, “I feel lost and need to vent” is a valid reason for her.

    I think she has something like ADHD herself and knows how draining subsequent meetings are. I have great respect for her and her achievements.



  • I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

    Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.


    Sorry, it had to be done. (But is actually misquoted)







  • I speak German and I think you got it right regarding that difficult-to-translate line. The line is kind of odd.

    My theory is that they just needed something to rhyme on Diskussion. The words Diskussion and lohnen do not rhyme exactly. But in German lyric it is a common stylistic choice to omit or shorten a word’s ending from -en to -n. So the rhyme is more like Diskussion - lohn.



  • I am.sorry to hear this. But I feel your pain. A few years ago I had a phone where some apps just where buggy as hell for some reason. There are so many factors contributing to app stability on Android:

    • Android version
    • Possible customisations from the phone manufacturer (bloatware, battery optimisations etc.)
    • Phone hardware, especially working memory and CPU

    My current phone has 8 GB working memory and like 40 GB free memory available. It also runs a approx. five year old LineageOS installation, upgraded each year as stated on their website. Currently its LineageOS 22.2 (android 15).

    All of this may or may not have great impact on how well FF Android runs.


  • Maybe give Iceraven a try. Its a FF Android fork and works with lots of add ons that regular FF android does not offer for some reason.

    https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser

    Edit:

    To be clear, Iceraven does not magically make all add ons usable. But more than regular FF android anyway. From their Readme:

    Our goal is to be a close fork of the new Firefox for Android that seeks to provide users with more options, more opportunities to customize (including a broad extension library), and more information about the pages they visit and how their browsers are interacting with those pages.

    Notable features include:

    • about:config support
    • The ability to attempt to install a much longer list of add-ons than Mozilla’s Fenix version of Firefox accepts. Currently the browser queries this AMO collection Most of them will not work, because they depend on code that Mozilla is still working on writing in android-components, but you may attempt to install them. If you don’t see an add-on you want, you can request it.
