Unless it’s the 52Hz whale. I’d shed a tear for that lonely creature; not for that biologist though.

It’s just the regular penguin. Clickbait!!!1!!

Digital Radio Mondiale enthusiasts: First time?

Yeah. I am not a native speaker of either language though, is “shitting sb.” something one might say?

Anyway, the etymology, as I understand it, is:

• Herr Gott/Herrgott: “Lord”, or literally “Mr God”, typical way German-speaking Christians address God
• bescheißen: screw, bullshit
• -erie: French feminine noun ending, sometimes used as the English “-er”

So yeah, you could translate it as “thing to bullshit the Lord”, or “Godbullshitter”.

You don’t need to know much German to tell that Herrgottb’scheisserie does not quite translate to “Fool the Lord”.

Probably more. Just search for ‘x’ in a name register and filter the normal ones like Alex.

I know PDF providers who visibly print the customer’s name or number in the header of every page, along with short copyright text. I use qpdf --stream-decompress to make the PDF into human-readable PostScript, and then Python+regex to remove each header text, which stand out a bit from other PDF elements. The script throws an error if more or fewer elements than pages have been removed but that hasn’t happened yet. Processed documents sometimes have screwed-up non-ASCII characters in the Table of Contents for some reason but I don’t have the originas anymore so IDK if it’s my fault. Still, I wouldn’t share the PDFs unless in text-only or printed form because of any other steganographic shenanigans in the file. I would absolutely torrent them if I could repurchase them under a new identity and verify that the files are identical.

BTW, has anyone figured out how to embed Python code in PDF? The whitespace always gets reencoded as x-coordinates so copy&pasting it never preserves indentation. No, you can’t use the Ogham Space Mark (Unicode’s only non-blank character classified as a space) for indentation in Python, I tried.

Yes. Technically, a similar vote could repeal the law just as easily but there is a history of governments not giving their power away easily; implementing it also sets a precedent and creates technical enforcement options for other governments willing to go through with something similar in the future, or for hackers to exploit because gov-rooted devices will remain in operation for years after the potential repeal.

Sure but if we succeed at mitigating cimate change effects to a reasonable degree, civilization will survive for centuries, during which a reactor that uses itmight become available. It’s a minor problem blown out of proportion, as opposed to CO₂ emissions, which are the opposite.

When I say “Skillsh”, you say “Air”!

Well, people nowadays say “random” when they mean something like “random from currently trending from random from what people generally approve of from the critically merited from random, except I can reroll the randomness every time I don’t like what I see”. Yes, it’s annoying.

Back then, there were still lots of “wipers” that deleted files and/or destroyed the OS. Now it’s all spyware and ransomware.

I think it was a skilled prompter + manual editing

Well, a conversational AI with sub-human abilities still has some uses. Notably scamming people en masse so human email scammers will be put out of their jobs /s

I also have one. I call it “C”
