  Accurate but also not. PewDiePie came out in favour and PirateSoftware lied about it. But I think Thor lying created a huge burst of coverage about how he’s wrong and really created lots of noise about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Take Home Pay⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  First off even for regular checkups I have to pay extra cuz a continues 1/5th of my pay isn’t enough

  That is so wild. The US has the most expensive system in the world and often not that great service in return and somehow so many are convinced that their broken system is so much better… I guess that’s partly explained by an also broken education system. That’s something that always has been broken as far as I can remember, but now it’ll get sooooo much worse under Trump.

  Plus I’m brown enough to live in fear of getting an accidental deportation parking ticket. Here, you hit the wrong car and they can apparently blast your front door. How does any of that even help me?

  Aaaaaand another thing that’s getting sooooo much worse under Trump. And all paid for by your taxes.

  I’ll emphasize though, the problem isn’t taxes, it’s a broken political system where 0.01% of the population pay for 50% or more of political campaigning and the people have allowed their representatives to create a system of government that fucks them over for reasons that appeal to their basest instincts.

  My Take-Home in Germany is a little less than two thirds of my pay.

  The difference is that I’m happy with it, because I get my moneys worth in return. Holy shit healthcare alone is just so goddamn cheap compared to what all my health issues would cost extra in the US.

  Yes, rich assholes not paying their fair share is a problem over here too, but far less than in the US and honestly, for my personal happiness it’s far more important that I can see the positive impact my taxes have on me and in my community.

  I think that’s the biggest difference, are taxes levied for mutual benefit or to funnel money to the mayors/governors/presidents daughters company and thus are a means to rob the populace? Over here it’s overwhelmingly for mutual benefit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Japanese Law Stops Parents From Naming Their Baby 'Pikachu'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes I am quite happy about strict german naming laws.

  The first name …

  • must be recognizable as a first name
  • must not be a widespread place name or brand name.
  • must not be a family name. Exceptions have been made in particular for East Frisian middle names (for example “ten Doornkaat”) and for very rare, unusual surnames (for example Wannek, Birkenfeld), as well as of course for surnames that are mainly known as first names (such as Gerhart).
  • may not denote a title such as Lord or Princess.
  • does not have to be clearly masculine or feminine, as was the case until 2008, but may also be neutral.
  • must not harm the child’s welfare by ridiculing the child or creating a connection “to evil”

  Pikachu absolutely falls under ridicule and maybe even brand name

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, well the DMA wasn’t going to cost most EU politicians much of their good ol’ corporate lobbying monies. But switching the EU off of Micro$oft would definitely not only lose those funds, but also introduce way more vigorous counter-lobbying.

  One pro of the EU’s glacial pace is that they frog-boil the shareholders, meaning most counter-lobbying activities are relatively tame.

  But damn, do I wish they would just give the finger to all those ~american~ corporations and start a 4-year transition to OSS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So…

  (4/6)m >= (5/6)l
  m >= (5/4)l
  

  Which means Marty’s pizza is one and a quarter the size of Luis’ pizza. We can comfortably just compare the area, since we can assume a flat disk with equal height for a pizza.

  Assuming Luis’ pizza is a Domino’s Classic size of 25cm that’s an area of:

  (25cm / 2)² * π = (625cm² / 4) * π = 490.874cm²
  

  So Marty’s pizza should be at least 490.874cm² * 1.25 = 613.5925cm² for 4/6 of his to be greater or equal of 5/6 of Luis’, so:

  sqrt(613.5925cm² / π) * 2 = 13,975426964cm * 2 = 27,950853929cm
  

  Since Marty’s pizza is equal or greater, let’s go with 28cm diameter… which happens to match exactly a Domino’s Medium size.

  That’s a very realistic scenario and the teacher is an absolute idiot for not understanding.

  Gotta LOVE the EU, they’re working at a glacial pace but sooner or later (most likely later) it changes the landscape for the better.

  If only enshittification would happen slow enough for the EU to catch up to.

  Hyalinobatrachium dianae, also known as Diane’s bare-hearted glass frog or Kermit frog, is a species of Costa Rican glass frog in the family Centrolenidae

  Due to the frog’s resemblance to Kermit, the discovery attracted a substantial amount of attention in popular media. Tweets and news articles comparing H. dianae to Kermit helped images of the frog go viral. The attention prompted Disney to release an official interview where Kermit talked about H. dianae, saying, for example, “Googly eyes run in our family.”.
