In Boost for Lemmy you can see lists of everything you posted, commented, upvoted or downvoted in your profile.

In German it’s even funnier if you translate haunted with “besessen” as it means “occupied by bad souls” and “being sit on” at the same time.

In the beginning of COVID I ran out of tea once and since then I got used to just drink warm water from the tap in most cases. 🚰

For web applications you can often reverse engineer the internal / non-documented APIs using the development tools of your browser or network traffic analysis such as Wireshark. As a last resort for software without APIs you can always use robotics tools and automatically use the GUI as a user would do. You could for example check out the Selenium framework for Java.

That’s new to me. For me so far it was sufficient to follow this part from the linked article…

Or, if Windows is already installed, from either the Sign on screen or the Start menu, select Power (Power button icon) > hold Shift while selecting Restart. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware settings.

As you’re currently using Windows on your PC, you might have to do an extended reboot. By default Windows skips the UEFI/USB step in the boot sequence to make Windows boot slightly faster.

I’d say that heavily depends on Software A and B.

If you want to actively push data from system A, you need to check for system-specific enhancement options for that system. E.g. is there a way foreseen to add custom plugins, call webhooks, etc.

If you want to actively want to pull data from system B instead, you have to do the same exercise as before but for the other system.

Such interfaces (if available at all) are often vendor specific, so one software may use Java for addons, another only Python etc.

In more complex integration scenarios, you often work with a so-called middleware that acts as a translator between different data formats, protocols etc. Such middleware software often already has pre-built triggers or prepared integration routines for very common software. A commercial example that is mostly meant for end users would be Microsoft Power Flow or if you are looking for FOSS you can check out Node Red.

I don’t think there is a lot of ‘integration knowledge’ that is generally applicable independent of the software in use. If you want to start building a toolbox of skills, you could start looking at SOAP, REST, XML, maybe learn a scripting language such as Python etc.

From my perspective mails are federated. If I want to explain federation as a concept to someone I always use mail as an example because everyone can write to everyone independent of the provider, you can selfhost it easily, you could move from one company to another (if you use your own domain), protocols are all FOSS.

So at least it’s an open and distributed system. What would be missing for it to count as federated?

The problem with most crypto compared to regular money is that it’s often seen as an investment. However, one of the most important factors for a currency that is used in everyday transactions is stability and predictability. Money is supposed to ease trading goods and services as a universal middleman. It’s not supposed to make someone rich who invested first.

Of course there’s also inflation and deflation with regular money but as soon as that’s getting out of control, it typically leads to serious economic issues.

But just a tiny Matchbox car that you need to spend a small fortune over almost two decades before it’s ready for use.

Depending on the speed of the hotdog car you should get your exhaust checked. ;)

Not for you today. Try again another day with proper shoes!

Based on several videos I’ve seen in the past Ecosia is mostly greenwashing. Not sure if they recently changed something in their business practices but apparantly they planted vast amount of monoculture trees in relatively small areas. Thus, the majority of the trees just died due to lack of light, water and nutrients.

Somehow a pretty meta level joke if not only the rabbit but the entire international system of bloodtypes is possibly based on a typ0. 😂

In Germany the blood types are A, B, AB and 0 (zero). That’s where my confusion came from: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB0-System

Hint: You have to read it as “Type O” not 0/Zero/Null. Took me quite long ;)

I often read that the UI is pretty unintuitive compared to the commercial competitors. I anyhow started with FreeCAD three years ago and never looked back. I design a lot of functional 3D prints with it and managed to solve all the issues I’ve faced so far. As I started with FreeCAD and never tried the alternatives, I also don’t miss the possibly more intuitive UIs 😁

As per the statement all remaining instanced will go down over time, though not sure how long that will take.

It also works with Amazon FireTV (Stick) or any other Android TV box / stick, just in case you have already one lying around. ;)

I don’t think being interested in the (ancestors’) race of a co-worker is necessary racist. I worked with people with all kinds of cultural backgrounds and it might be just an interesting topic to talk about. If someone has family in Iran, Senegal or Indonesia that’s definitely more interesting to me than a conversation about weather or last night’s football game.
