20 years ago I was injured in one eye. Without an operation it would have left me going slowly blind. The operation was invented maybe 20 years earlier.

Both my eyes had a cataract at a quite early age. Artificial lenses where invented AFAIK 50 years ago. The new lenses even correct my shortsightedness and astigmatism!

So if I had lived only 50 years earlier I would be blind on one eye and quite possibly without a lense or at least seeing really foggy on the other. Now I am sitting here with - 0.5/-1 and otherwise great eye sight.

There are no words how grateful I am for the wonders of modern eye medicine.

Yes, it was Munich. And all things considered it worked quite well for a while.

After a while AFAIK the then new mayor called himself a "Microsoft fan" and tried to get Microsoft to build their new German HQ in Munich. So I am pretty sure there is no connection whatsoever between canceling Limux and switching back to Windows and Microsoft building a huge campus in Munich Freimann...

I really love it, too.

Hi!

Evidently, [loops and goldfish] are intended to be compatible with one another, as well as other video platforms in the Fediverse, such as PeerTube or Vidzy.

From the article. So yes, they should be cross compatible at some point.

Linke: Gewalt gegen Sachen.

Rechte: Gewalt gegen Personen.

Ratet mal, was die Politik scheinbar schlimmer findet. So deutlich habe ich die Faeser jedenfalls bei keinem rechten Übergriff reden hören.

So I tried to find more info on it and it seems like they are not remaking the trilogy. Multiple movies set in various time periods before the Hobbit and LotR are currently written. That's not really great but it is way better than a remake IMHO.

Google is killing off its proposal for "Web Environment Integrity API" as a new web standard, though Android phones may still have to deal with it.

That is literally the first sentence of the linked article. I think this is one of the things how it comes back.

"Und wieso liegt da Stroh rum?"

The name of the fish "Stör" is the same as the word "disturb". That alone offers a lot of potential for bad puns.

It is also weirdly common as a part of other words that don't have anything to do with fish. And third, there are parts of words that sound similar to Stör.

Take all those ingredients and you can have a lot of fun with strange word combinations and only native speakers have a realistic chance of understanding.

I'll just say it: PHP. I mean the language itself is not really pretty (but came a long way).

But I've got a nice side gig running where I help small businesses and schools to keep their old PHP based websites running and secure until they can afford a new system. In that area money is often very tight and there are no "content managers" but a few people maintaining content with next to no technological knowledge and in their spare time. So changing systems is a hard task. Being the really decently priced guy who keeps their PHP ship afloat is pretty rewarding (not really monetarily but personally).

So working with PHP I have a very nice group of customers who are grateful for every bit of help. I love that.
