I guess the amount of enthalpy or energy required to summon a rabbit

There should be more textbook exercices like this. Now I want to know the answer.

Spoiler alert.

It’s fossil fuels, again.

It’s sad.

Adoption rate does matter. HEIC currently has a 13.99% adoption, and WebP has a 95.92% adoption rate in web browsers.

So when considering support in softwate, it’s more reasonable to pick WebP as default, rather than HEIC.

There are of course other considerations, like compression efficiency, format features, patents, …

Seached and found that the European Union published an explanation for its vote on a similar draft submitted by 2022 by Russia.

EU Explanation of Vote – UN General Assembly: Draft Resolution on Combating glorification of Nazism

This both explain the EU’s rationale for not voting Russia’s draft, and explicitly condemn Niazism

The European Union is unequivocal in its commitment to the global fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, anti-semitism and related intolerance. Our joint fight against contemporary forms of all extremist and totalitarian ideologies, including neo-Nazism, must be a joint priority for the whole international community.

Thanks for the context.

Given Russia submitted the text, and given how european countries voted, I suspect this is mostly about Russia looking for justifications for attacking a neighbour and grabbing land.

Defending Nazism or showing Nazi symbols is illegal in Germany. Holocaust denial is illegal in several european countries. Yet they abstained.

They’d probably vote for such a text if it came from another country that doesn’t “undermine genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism”

I missed Eurovision’s finale this year, because I watched the 803th Interstellar Song Contest

The house I grew up in is much older than the USA’s inependance. It’s not the oldest building in town.

The town’s church is ~300 years older than Christopher Collumbus’ arrival in the Americas. If it didn’t burn twice, and didn’t had to be rebuilt twice, if would have been a few 100s of years older.

There are countless towns and cities with buildings older than the USA at every street corner here. That person obviously never been to Europe.

It’s less creepy than asking “This is your home address, isn’t it?”

Dear, @fossilesque@mander.xyz please credit the authors and/or sources of the picture you’re posting. Those most likely aren’t public domain, meaning credit is required (and possibly more). Also citing the source provide interesting background on the pictures.

Interesting.

Did you take these pictures, or could you mention their source? I want to make sure the author(s) get credit.

Likely bad coding or bad database design.

Best practice is to avoid using email as primary key in the user database, instead use an internal ID, so that an email change can happen without touching the primary key.

Your reply made me think of an alternative to deleting accounts : replace personal information to use a pseudonym and a throwaway email, remove everything that can be removed.

That would help once the badly coded website get hacked or its database get leaked.

Yes, assuming the site allows deleting accounts.

Many don’t have an easy way of deleting accounts. Some won’t delete an account even when making a formal request.

That would beat the purpose of insurance.

Insurance is about risk management, and poking a hole is creating some risk, especially for the local environnement and nearby shores.

What would the penalty be for not being insured?

The decision make sense on principle. To have any effect, it needs a penalty and enforcement.
