  • How do you setup swap when installing Linux if the system has SSD?

    Jump

  • Because the default is set for healthy performance. But users in actual reality don't care for raw performance but want responsive systems. If you are opening a browser to pass time while some longer process runs in the background, you are less interested in that background process being done 10% faster than in your browser not being sluggish.

    PS: Sidenote... Many recommendations are based on older kernels. Since 5.8 swappiness is not measured from 0 to 100, but 0 to 200. So the 60 default is already half of what it was many years ago.

  • Warum die einst ostdeutsche Mopel-Marke Simson heute wieder boomt - und wie die AfD den Boom nutzen will

  • und zwar durchaus mit harschen Worten, wie, dass bei den Berechnungen wohl Leute mit dem Intellekt und der Rechenkünste eines Kleinkindes am Werke gewesen sein mussten. Und ruhig genau mit solchen Worten.

    "Fake News! Das stimmt gar nicht!! Du verbreitest nur links-grün versiffte Propaganda!!!"

    Und jetzt?

    Nein, jede Quelle, die du anführst ist Teil der Verschwörung, um die Einzigen, die Deutschland retten wollen, klein zu halten. Nein, jeder Bericht darüber ist Teil der Lügenpresse.

    Sorry, aber du scheinst noch nie wirklich mit diesen Leuten geredet zu haben. Die haben die Wirklichkeit komplett hinter sich gelassen.

  • Germany Introduces New Travel Restrictions for Men Aged 17-45 Amid Military Reforms

    Jump

  • I thought Germany was a progressive country.

    Oh, sweet summer child...

    Outright nazis, a supposed center-right (and highly corrupt) party copying every nazi talking point and a supposed center-left (and not caring about anything but gifts for pensioneers) party agreeing to every insanity as long as they get a position in government, too, combine to an easy 2/3 majority in polls (did I mention age bracket 55+ having a majority in elections?^^), which translates into an even bigger majority in seats.

    We have stopped doing actual politics at all as it's completely drowned out by culture war 24/7.

    They are so "progressive" that they advocate for burning more fossil fuels right now as renewables are obviosuly not working, Germany is -unlike the Nordics- much too cold for heat pumps, and also much too big for electric mobility with its limited range as everyone is obviously driving a few thousand kilometers daily...

    No, that's barely more than a slight exaggeration of their regular talking points.

  • Shocking figures: One in five young Germans wants to emigrate

    Jump

  • But most of the time you are not changing the problems. They are just framed slightly different elsewhere but still the same.

  • Shocking figures: One in five young Germans wants to emigrate

    Jump

  • However there are also a lot of reasons to stay in Germany

    With an easily overlooked one being that the actual problems in Germany are not Germany-specific at all.

    Political shift to the right, stagnating wages, bad housing market, an aging population calling the shots and giving a fuck about the future? Pick one (or a few) and tell me where to go instead... Moving in the exact same direction but a few years behind is basically the best you can get. And that's a bad reason to leave your life behind and lose a few years to start fresh.

  • Dual Wielding [Dungeons & Dragons]

    Jump

  • Not the only one, but probably a minority. Dual-wielding identical weapons is mostly a meme popularized by fantasy literature and games, and the movies and pc games based on those.

    In actual reality people are quite bad at coordinating similar weapons and don't get much benefit out of it. So the classical dual-wield is a bigger main weapon and a smaller supporting offhand, beginning with shields being used offensively (and getting smaller and more maneuverable with the main one becoming lighter and faster - see buckler) and ending with classic combinations like rapier & parrying dagger or Daishō (a katana & wakizashi pair).

  • Shocking figures: One in five young Germans wants to emigrate

    Jump

  • The article is very negative, so I assume the study results are too.

    Which will always -and completely independent of the topic- be wrong.

    Articles are negative because it gets more clicks and that's all that matters. If the underlying topic fits or needs to be totally misrepresented is irrelevant.

    Click-, engagement- and rage-bait > facts

    And as adequate auto-translation is widely available: here is the neutral 3-page summary of the study in German.

  • Shocking figures: One in five young Germans wants to emigrate

    Jump

  • The contention is that people want to leave in part because of high immigration.

    No, they want to get out before lying right-wing morons, their rich media allies and all the propaganda victims (pick which group you belong to, though I have my suspicion...) demolish the country in preparation for getting fascists into power again. Because some of us were actually awake in school.

  • Alternative zum teuren Tanken: Litauen macht Bahnfahren billiger

    Jump

  • Aber Deutschland befindet sich in einer Alternativrealität.

    Hier ist es nunmal zu kalt für Wärmepumpen, erneuerbare Energien zerstören die Umwelt, Elektromobilität ist unmöglich weil jeder ca. 1000km am Tag ohne Pause fährt, und öffentlicher Nahverkehr funktioniert einfach nicht.

  • Warum die einst ostdeutsche Mopel-Marke Simson heute wieder boomt - und wie die AfD den Boom nutzen will

    Jump

  • Es ist also kein Wunder, wenn eine AFD in den Umfragen und Wahlergebnissen immer weiter steigt, obwohl die ein politisches Programm hat, welches so für eine zukunftsorientierte Gesellschaft inhaltsleer ist

    Und was ist dein Vorschlag? Auch wie geisteskrank Lügen rausbrüllen? Denn Fakten oder Realittät lehnen deren Wähler ja grundsätzlich ab, sonst würden die nicht steif und fest das öffentlich einsehbare Wahlprogramm der eigenen Partei leugnen.

  • Shhh! Don't let Big Clock know that we are on to them.

  • Punish the Democrats, she says

    Jump

  • Because the candidate doesn't matter anymore. You will get some shit propaganda narrative hammered into your brain anyway (see: "vote for Trump so there will be no genocidal war in the middle east").

    So why would democrats care about anything else than their own internal power dynamics? It's not like they can get a good candidate when collective brain-damage will make sure that it's a totally useless candidate anyway once the screeching morons on (social) media tell you what your new reality is.

    They are very well isolating themselves, so there's no need to "make them look" isolated. That's the simple reality.

  • Wo sind die AfD Proteste

    Auf deutschen Straßen, praktisch täglich. Oder auch all zwei Wochen hier.

    wo die Proteste gegen die Kriege?

    Hast du mal in den Ländern, die Krieg führen, nachgefragt?

    Ja, das wünschen sich rechte Propagandisten und erzählen deshalb ständig das Märchen, dass

  • Martin von Amberg on superstitions (need help translating)

    Jump

  • The AI is just totally overwhelmed trying to fit that old German to modern day terms it knows.

    For example: "who believe in sorcerers and sorceresses, in war luck and war misfortune" is actually "who believes in sorcerer and sorceress. In fortune tellers/soothsayers [male and female...]. In dream readers [same...]... [all singular...]".

    "warſager vnd warſagerin" [yes, that "ſ" is a "long-s" once existing in many Germanic languages, including English, but obsolete for quite some time....] would be "Wahrsager und Wahrsagerin" [lit. "truth-sayer"] in modern German, "trawm auzleger vund trawm auzlegarin" would be "Traumdeuter und Traumdeuterin", with auzleger (modern German "Ausleger") not even a used word nowadays, but a nominalization of the verb "auslegen" which literally means "to lay out" but can also mean "to interpret".

    I don't even understand how it missed the soothsayers, inventing some nonsense about "war luck and misfortune" (because "war" is a pattern it recognized), yet then translated "dream readers/interpreters" to soothsayers somehow...

    Sorry, to tell you. But automated AI translation is basically just guessing based on a very big database of words in actual use. And it's not going to do an adequate job unless you find someone spending a lot of ressources on training one exclusively on such ancients text with all their obsolete terms, grammar and spelling.
