Explanation:

The complaint tablet to Ea-nāṣir is a clay tablet that was sent to the ancient city-state Ur. Written c. 1750 BC. in Akkadian cuneiform, it is recognized as the “Oldest Customer Complaint”.

The tablet details that Ea-nāṣir travelled to Dilmun to buy copper and returned to sell it in Mesopotamia. On one particular occasion, he had agreed to sell copper ingots to Nanni. Nanni sent his servant with the money to complete the transaction. The copper was considered by Nanni to be sub-standard and was not accepted.

In response, Nanni produced the cuneiform letter for delivery to Ea-nāṣir. Inscribed on it is a complaint to Ea-nāṣir about a copper delivery of the incorrect grade and issues with another delivery. Nanni also complained that his servant (who handled the transaction) had been treated rudely. He stated that, at the time of writing, he had not accepted the copper, but had paid for it.

Trump probably sees himself more like Hitler who made the French government sign their surrender in Versailles.

Girls Und Panzer is genuinely awesome, and I’m not even an anime fan.

Lemmy did something weird with that link.
Just copy-paste the link text into a new browser tab instead of clicking it.

The new definition is bullshit. Even earth hasn’t fully cleared its orbit.

My workplace has field-tested contingency plans to keep the business running when literally all IT systems and the office building are inaccessible. Which is kinda impressive for a local newspaper.

For my private life, I don’t care. My IT stuff is only recreationaI.
I still have a radio, a DVD player, and books.

In My Summer Car, the (singular) dev put a few paintings in the player character’s home that were made with AI.
He got lots of hate for it, and someone eventually created a mod that replaces the AI artwork with a real artist’s paintings…

…which he had downloaded from the internet and put in his mod without compensating, attributing, asking or informing the artist in any way…

Read the room, mate.

Fun fact: Hitler’s father was called Schicklgruber until he changed his name under strange circumstances at age 40.
“Heil Schicklgruber” would have definitely been less catchy.

That’s a metaphor to show how closely the two countries are actually related.

Ernst Haeckel called it First World War in September 1914.
It was called that by other authors in the interwar period, for example Charles à Court Repington published The First World War in 1920.

That’s an argument against replacing the coreutils on your systems.
Which no one is forcing you to.
But how are you against someone rewriting them using their own time and resources?

There are more points of failure there than the cable snapping.
This needs some redundant safety if you expect to ever walk or stand under it.

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your question.
And I had literally never heard of any Windows 3 alternatives up to now.

It looked like this:

It was pretty similar to modern Windows but without taskbar or Start menu.
Instead, you had a main window called “program manager” with icons in it to start other programs.
Do you have any specific questions about it?
