Habe für ca. 240€ günstig diverse gecrashte Aktien gekauft, an denen ich vorher interessiert war, aber die mir ursprünglich zu teuer waren.

Java really needs to support it. The font rendering through the xwayland compatibily layer is horrible.

It's because of bad interface design and too many bookmarks: First, browsers add bookmarks in some menu instead of the toolbar per default. Then the toolbar in many browsers starts cluttered with useless presets. Then, if you have the bookmark added to the toolbar, it overflows into a toolbar menu, hiding the newest most important in it. Then, once this fills one screen, the new bookmarks are still added at the bottom, but the menu becomes scrollable. So to reach your bookmark, you have to open menus and painfully scroll in them without a scroll bar. Often, depending on browser, scrollwheel doesn't work well inside.

Now you can try and organize most bookmarks, like keep the tabs in their own quick access folder. But now it's hidden again and you have to remember to clean that up, which you forget, so it grows and you're back at the scrollable menu problem at some point.

All this teaches users it's faster to pin tabs or use session restore and leave tabs they will need later open, using bookmarks only as a last resort or backup they usually never need.

One simple help is adding bookmarks at the front and having toolbar as default folder, but that requires extensions, if it's possible at all depending on browser.

Some people bet Elons political influance will benefit Tesla in the future.

Personally I doubt he cares about it.

Also, if they successfully transform the US into a dictatorship, money loses meaning for those in charge.

Das ist absolut nötig, damit Meta alle Nutzer durch KI ersetzen kann und niemand mehr Meta-Produkte nutzen muss. Zuckerberg kann dann allein im KI-generierten Metaverse leben, ohne sich mit niederen Kreaturen abgeben zu müssen, so wie irgendein Gott es offensichtlich vor sah. /s

Is It My Fault (self.dreams)
submitted 17 hours ago by lurch to c/[email protected]
 

I dreamt there was a hard cover comic book for children and also for abuse victims, called Is It My Fault. It shows various situations in which something bad happened, with speech bubbles. The reader had to guess whether it's the main characters fault and it had a little built in feature whete you had to fold a lens and a tiny piece of film out and peek through it to see if you guessed correctly.

 

I dreamt I waa a youth at a sunny ancient port town (but in modern day) with stone docks made from white matte stone with grey and yellow lines. It wasn't busy only few crates stood around. No ships in sight. We had the super funny idea to let a goat loose with a GPS tracker. We did it. Then I woke up worrying the goat might eat farmers crops and precious garden flowers on it's way to the mountains and realized it was just a dream and there is no goat on the lose 😅

it would look slightly curved, unless the plane flew in a path curved the opposite way, but it could also be the curvature is too slight to notice at the zoom level/distance

Is doch gut. Soll sich der Markt doch gesund schrumpfen. Gibt's halt stattdessen Unternehmen, die nicht auf irgendwelchen Briefkastenfirmentricks basieren.

I dreamt I temporarily lived by choice in a shed in warm country. The floor was dusty dry earth. I was trying to lay low. I open the double shed door. Someone put a bike against one, which I liked, because it makes it less suspicious, so I use only one door side to get out. It's a small path next to a sugar cane field in the afternoon. I have the feeling I forgot something. Like a ninja I run up walls to get on roofs jump from roof to roof and drop into an alley. I'm on a personal mission. Something is wrong. I feel manipulated. This mission should help find out more. I find a shady guy in that alley and question him. His intel is good and leads me to a shop full of rare colorful liquids. Before I can question the shopkeep, a well known guy shows up. It turns out, in this dream I'm a legendary professional assassin. One of the four best in the region and the other guy is too. We have worked together occasionally, but there is a bit of a rivalry going on. We're talking like "I should've known you're in this too." Both trying to find out more without actually saying anything. A little bell by the door rings as it opens. A young woman with a sombrero size grey fedora enters. She's also one of the legendary four best assassins, but her noisy entrance meant, she was trying to blend in as a regular harmless person. As she sees us, she says "You! I should've known it's you! You did this to me!" Confused we reply "What?" "You erased my memory!" I reply "Oh! That's why nothing makes sense." The other guy says "Mine has been erased too." The shopkeep heard the bell and yells and enters through a door. He remembers us. We question him. His intel leads to an oriental cloister on a nearby hill. We legendary assassins go together. It's a short trip with nice views. Few busy monks in white and yellow togas work surrounding and inside the cloister. We make it to a white painted hall with a few pillars and five imporrant monks sitting cross legged on linen pillows. We ask them about our missing memory. Turns out we asked the monks to erase one day of our memory ourselves. They say something real bad happened to us and they could revert it, but advise against it, seeing how well we are doing. We all decide that we trust our past selves, thank the monks and leave happily. The last thought I had before waking up was "wait... what about the fourth legendary assassin?"

 

I was going through a school like corridor on my way to an aniversery company meeting in a room like a big classroom. Colleagues I didn't look at walked woth me. The meeting was soon to start and they were talking about it excitedly. As I was in the door of the meeting room, I noticed a line of youths, mostly girls waiting at another door of the room that led to a bathroom. They needed to pee urgently and acted as such. Suddenly I felt I should go to the bathroom as well, but not this one. The queue was too long. I turned around to go to another bathroom. Behind me colleagues remindet me to hurry as the meeting was about to start. I sped down a set of conrete stairs in a well lit area. It led to the center of a big busy train station. I looked up at some signs giving directions. None of them said WC, but one showed something I knew led to a WC. I turned left to go there. A girl rushing by in a coat dropped a white plastic bag. I picked it up. I felt it had small solid pieces like tiny eggs in it, but I didn't look. Instead I shouted something to get her attention and waved. She saw me over a glass counter of an empty food stand. I waved the bag going over to her. I gave it to her. She thanked me. We were next to an exit. I went outside. Suddenly I was in a supermarket mostly for drinks. A girl next to me said "I'm late. My teachers gonna be sooo pissed." I said "Me too." She laughed pushing a trolley with colorful kegs in plastic wrapping. We went quickly through isles of drinks and kegs on pallets in red and purple plastic wrapping in a straight line. A carton in Kinder chocolate colors containing cake caught my eye. The girl said, i must try a bar of chocolate with lots of cream in the mix. I declined there was a wall with colorful magazines in front of us and daylight from the left indicated an exit. I went towards it climbing above palkets of blue painted kegs in red plastic wrapping in a hurry. I woke up.

 

I saw this funny code block I linked, but it's missing a dollar sign when viewed in Sync.

I don't even know where to report bugs and if its github I won't because github is becoming cancer and i deleted my account.
