In Germany at least, jail time doesn't scale linearly with the count of crimes or victims. Jail time isn't primarily meant as revenge or punishment, but more as the time required to revisit the mistakes you did and to make you again a functional member of society.

It won't necessarily make a difference if you murder one person or 10 or 100. Typically, the sentence will be 15 years. If the judge thinks you're too dangerous to ever be released again they can order you to stay in prison after the 15 years end ("Sicherheitsverwahrung") but also this decision will be revisited at some point.

I'd love the UK to rejoin the EU one day. Obviously, participation shouldn't be hop on / hop off but as long as all prequisites are met I would say the bigger the better.

Always appreciate any work spent on any FOSS stuff out there but currently I'm a bit afraid that Gecko disappears into unimportance. So I'd prefer more contributions towards that one project rather than opening new ones.

The issue with browser engines is that it always requires work from two directions. The browser engine must be optimized to render websites as good as possible. And websites must be optimized to be rendered by all the different browser engines.

And (almost) no one is willing to do the latter for engines with a <1% market share. Already now, more and more commercial and non-commercial websites are only working properly with Chrome or its derivates.

I think it was a sweet moment there and made Biden appear as a friendly and self-ironic guy. I doubt the Trump campaign can leverage this photo as they are sharing AI stuff all day and compared to all these fakes, Biden wearing a Trump hat is pretty lame. :D

I think it would continue even after it's own deletion as the binary is already loaded into memory, so process is not dependent on the file system. Still doubt that it'll complete successfully. Most likely the system crashes in the middle.

Klingt für mich ein wenig so, als könnte das gewissen Wettbewerbshütern in der EU nicht so gut gefallen, wenn nicht ganz unrelevante Teile des Internets nur noch über die ohnehin marktbeherrschende Suchmaschine auffindbar sind.

Ich denke, die meisten werden eher still und heimlich begehren in diesem Fall.

I'm not on your instance and I don't know the link but I 100% agree to your sentiment. I think if we want Lemmy to grow and instances to flourish, we have to also federate the financial burden of hosting it. The admins already spend a lot of their free time on maintenance and content moderation, so those who can afford it should at least throw in some small donations. :)

Oh no, I'll lose all my followers on cybertruck!

Anyone found the specific numbers of acceptance rate with in comparison to no knowledge of the gender?

On researchgate I only found the abstract and a chart that doesn't indicate exactly which numbers are shown.

edit:

Interesting for me is that not only women but also men had significantly lower accepance rates once their gender was disclosed. So either we as humans have a really strange bias here or non binary coders are the only ones trusted.

edit²:

I'm not sure if I like the method of disclosing people's gender here. Gendered profiles had their full name as their user name and/or a photography as their profile picture that indicates a gender.

So it's not only a gendered VS. non-gendered but also a anonymous VS. indentified individual comparison.

And apparantly we trust people more if we know more about their skills (insiders rank way higher than outsiders) and less about the person behind (pseudonym VS. name/photography).

Gestern Abend ebenfalls erledigt. Es sei der Kommentar erlaubt, dass es bei dieser Europawahl (zum letzten Mal) keine Sperrklausel (x Prozent-Hürde) gibt. Wenn man also nochmal einer kleineren Partei seine Stimme geben möchte, stehen die Chancen nicht sooo schlecht, dass diese auch ein Mandat bekommen könnte. Die Defakto-Sperrklausel liegt bei circa 0,7% pro Sitz.

Not sure if it's just me but personally Boss in general feels like an anti status symbol. Whenever I see someone wearing clothes with an obvious Boss logo on it I cringe a bit and think of them having a very low self esteem and poor spending habits...
