Based on several videos I’ve seen in the past Ecosia is mostly greenwashing. Not sure if they recently changed something in their business practices but apparantly they planted vast amount of monoculture trees in relatively small areas. Thus, the majority of the trees just died due to lack of light, water and nutrients.
Somehow a pretty meta level joke if not only the rabbit but the entire international system of bloodtypes is possibly based on a typ0. 😂
In Germany the blood types are A, B, AB and 0 (zero). That’s where my confusion came from: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB0-System
Hint: You have to read it as “Type O” not 0/Zero/Null. Took me quite long ;)
I often read that the UI is pretty unintuitive compared to the commercial competitors. I anyhow started with FreeCAD three years ago and never looked back. I design a lot of functional 3D prints with it and managed to solve all the issues I’ve faced so far. As I started with FreeCAD and never tried the alternatives, I also don’t miss the possibly more intuitive UIs 😁
It also works with Amazon FireTV (Stick) or any other Android TV box / stick, just in case you have already one lying around. ;)
If you are on Android check out AntennaPod (available in F-Droid). It’s legal and integrates with Apple Podcasts.
Some time ago a client of me was looking for a solution to add watermarks to PDF files from their local on premise ERP system. The ERP system itself is a standard software. Obviously, they have a license to use that ERP but they definitely do not own the source code of it. Thus, they cannot change the license to AGPL or integrate it somehow.
I thought about writing a little plugin with Java in iFile to do that which is published unser AGPL. Using something under AGPL would mean that we have to make the entire solution available under that license.
Question 1: What is the entire solution in that scenario?
Question 2: AGPL says users must have access to the source code of the solution no matter if they use it locally, over network etc. But Who is the user in such a scenario?
Question 3: My client is not a software company, so they never published ANY source code or software. Where would you publish the code?
There is a lot of uncertainty when using AGPL software in a business context which will - in many cases - lead to the decision not to use the software at all.

I agree, so easy to sort stuff like that. :)
In German we also say it in the order as we write it.

Never heard of Molly before. Will look into that when I find some time. Thanks for the hint ;)
For people without IT background, I can recommend Mozilla common voice. They plan to release an advanced AI model for text-to-speech or speech-to-text conversion, e.g. for an offline, open source alternative to Amazon Echo, Siri etc.
To train the model they need at least 10000 hours of speech samples per language. So you can donate your voice by reading aloud small snippets, checking already recorded samples or making up new sentences.
I quickly googled some numbers, so no guarantee for 100% correctness.
Desalination uses about 3.6kWh/m3 of water. A generator can produce around 1.5kWh/litre of fuel. 500,000 litres of fuel would result in 750,000 kWh. 750,000 kWh would result in 208,333 m3 or 208,333,000 litres of water. That theoretically would allow you to create around 200 litres per person if you use the entire amount of fuel on water desalination.
But this calculation only works in a hypothetical scenario and not in a real life scenario. Distribution of the water to all the people will require a lot of energy as well, e.g. for tank trucks. And I think in an active war zone you probably won’t find world class logistics.
Furthermore, you also need fuel and electricity for other critical infrastructure: firetrucks, hospitals, phones, cooking, …
As much as I’d appeciate a shift away from Reddit elsewhere, I have to admit that Reddit is often among my most helpful Google results. No matter how stupid the recent management decisions are, it grew to a massive knowledge database over the years. Banning it from search engines would have a negative impact on the overall internet experience.
That doesn’t sound a lot tbh… If you calculate with 2M people there, it’s just 0.25 litres per person. I don’t think that would be sufficient to filter vast amounts of water.
If you can run EXE filles on your work PC and you just don’t have administrator rights to install software, you should be able to download a portable version of your favorite browser.
I used portable Firefox, Chrome, Notepad++, Eclipse, Sysinternals stuff and many more without problems that way.
Disclaimer: Althought this probably works technically, it might still violate some company policy.
The fish sturgeon is called “Stör” in German. The verb “to annoy” means “stören”.
Most of these memes that were posted recently are puns where random German words that contain “stör” or a simmilar sounding syllable is replaced by the fish.

Also, in the greek alphabet Alpha always comes first ;)
