- 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 20 hours 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 20 hours 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.

Never felt so much more in control than when ditching Windows and installing first Linux Mint and later Kubuntu. Gonna try Arch in the future to feel like a god and completely in control over what happens on my machine.

You can rest assured, it’s not fake.
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.”.

Mjam, leave it in there for the weekend to ripen!
I remember a seldom used office coffee machine that everyone complained made the coffee taste “funny”, they got the message about the necessary cleaning after maggots started crawling out. 🤢🤮

The difference to shawarma is negligible, yes. We’re using the turkish word because they introduced it to Germany and most of Europe. The Döner Kebab in the german/berlin style has become something new compared to it’s roots and is a completely turko-german item that could not get more popular.
