Similar to how ReCAPTCHA was meant to train neural networks for image recognition the anti bot protocol is used to train an autist to find an efficient factorisation algorithm.

A mouse? For shooters?!?
I definitely still played Quake with keyboard only and having it automatically look up or down on ramps.
I think during playing Jedi Knight I started using the mouse and having the revolutionary idea of using the numpad for movement and the surrounding keys for important Force powers. Because that was so much better than using the arrow keys.
No idea when I switched to WASD.

Wow, really strange. On my instance it shows millions and edited 10 seconds after it was posted. Maybe something wrong with the federation.

- Comment on HOW DO YOU KNOW WHERE AND WHICH COMMUNITY TO POST IN.....????? 1 week ago:
If you want to be taken more seriously you should dial back on the excessive punctuation and dial up proper capitalisation. You don’t need to have perfect grammar but putting the effort in makes your posts easier to read.
For simple talking communities see !casualconversation@piefed.social. If you really want to blog into the void I think something like Mastodon is better suited.

Whelp, guess that means we can be sure to find out about mass killings in El Salvador or Alligator Alcatraz or wherever right away because it will be so obvious.

But she did not pretend it didn’t happen. Where are you getting that from? She just never saw it, or at least the full extent. She did see starved prisoners. She saw the furniture at the opera. Just because the killings happened in a part of the city she wasn’t allowed to visit doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.
And propaganda was trying their darnedest to keep it that way for most people. Even high ranking officers were boasting about how they were just about to beat the Sowjets the day before they retook the city.

I just re-read that. The official story they got was that they were from a Sowjet prison. Not even a German one.

She lived in the non-Jewish parts outside of the proper city and worked in an ex-Sowjet party building. When she arrived it still had Trotzki, Lenin and Stalin statues. And even then she couldn’t move freely and had to give the correct passwords when moving from one part of the city to another.
And still life went on in Minsk. Most people there just had to keep on living. Farmers still regularly brought wares. Even theatres and cinemas were still working even when good food was scarce and expensive.
She did mention seeing fires at night in the distance. That was officially attributed to the rebels. That was easy to believe for her since some of her colleagues died from hidden bombs.
The closest she came to the actual crimes was when she got a new bed from the storage where all the furniture from the murdered people were stored. Though back then those were from “defeated Russians”.
With the way she didn’t shy away from describing atrocities she did see (before the Nazis, from family members and of course during the war) I believe that she did not know what was happening in the ghetto. The way she wrote she didn’t even know when she wrote it that these people were killed right in the city. She (and me before you showed me) thought there was a camp near the city. But not a whole part of the city itself.
I’d honestly like to see an editorialised edition of her memoirs published that showed what really happened around her. To put it all into perspective.

She did not call them rapists and murderers. That’s what they told her. That’s the lie they told people outside of the camps to justify any cruelty. In this instance the extended lie was that they were coming from some other “normal” prison and not from the camp.

She was naive. She asked a friend who was about to have an audience with Hitler to tell him about how undersupplied the camp in Minsk is. Because in her mind surely the Führer wouldn’t let these people needlessly suffer. Hitler told the friend not to listen to “those rumors”.

My grandma worked for the Nazis near a bad concentration camp near the end of WW2. She knew that it was “bad” in the camp. And when she got some really malnourished “rapists and murderers” to help with moving some furniture she didn’t associate them with the camp.
The worst she experienced was a Jewish secretary being murdered by her boss because he “lost his temper”. Happened while she was away so she didn’t know more.
And by her account most of the guys were huge idiots. And still she only found out about the real extent of the camps after the war.

- Comment on Nextcloud/OneDrive Files-only Replacement 2 weeks ago:
You could probably do this with FUSE. Guess nobody cared to make that yet.
- Comment on Nextcloud/OneDrive Files-only Replacement 2 weeks ago:
Opencloud is a fork of the new Owncloud, I think. Similar to how Nextcloud was forked from the old Owncloud.
- Comment on Nextcloud/OneDrive Files-only Replacement 2 weeks ago:
You can access all Nextcloud files over WebDAV. That is natively supported by many file browsers, including explorer.exe on Windows.
And you can choose in the Linux client what folders to sync.
What the Linux client (in contrast to the Windows client) does not support is having virtual files in a folder and only downloading files on demand.
Apart from that, have you looked at Opencloud?
