Als lebenslanger Textmensch habe ich leidenschaftlich versucht, es ihnen zu erklären: Um die Welt zu verstehen und verändern zu können, muss man Texte verstehen.

Our 18yo played in a school drama production of The Wave tonight, with his entire class. They were given a lot of room for creative decisions, and made good use of it. The mood was oppressive and scary, and the relevance to current events was crystal clear. Some people apparently complained that their interpretation was too radical. I told him that if art doesn’t hurt at least a bit, it’s just decoration. #parenting npub12xtyd2w3v3nwe997a5z6hcpwsn7wpgvmp95m49jqwjcju3jy525q7h4f9g Tyrone Slothrop I’m afraid that my head has decided that at one point, when the madness subsides a bit, I’m going to install #snac on a VPS. npub12xtyd2w3v3nwe997a5z6hcpwsn7wpgvmp95m49jqwjcju3jy525q7h4f9g Tyrone Slothrop @nprofile…eysl Ui fein 🤩 Viel Spaß & Erfolg! npub12xtyd2w3v3nwe997a5z6hcpwsn7wpgvmp95m49jqwjcju3jy525q7h4f9g Tyrone Slothrop @nprofile…73w4 Mein Geist könnte ein paar Wochen Urlaub gebrauchen.

But I want you to know that in the EU there's a cool new regulation that gives people the right to access the data that their devices produce. For example cars. Here's how Volkswagen is meeting this obligation, as one example: https://eu-data-act.drivesomethinggreater.com/de/en #EUDataAct npub12xtyd2w3v3nwe997a5z6hcpwsn7wpgvmp95m49jqwjcju3jy525q7h4f9g Tyrone Slothrop @nprofile…ah3h Yes, except it's even slightly more unhinged: It's fairly common for people to re-post their bangers from 1/2/5 years ago, often getting a lot of visibility each time. npub12xtyd2w3v3nwe997a5z6hcpwsn7wpgvmp95m49jqwjcju3jy525q7h4f9g Tyrone Slothrop @nprofile…jwku klar! npub12xtyd2w3v3nwe997a5z6hcpwsn7wpgvmp95m49jqwjcju3jy525q7h4f9g Tyrone Slothrop I see the U.S. is trying to fix itself by turning the country off and back on again https://www.whitehouse.gov/government-shutdown-clock/ npub12xtyd2w3v3nwe997a5z6hcpwsn7wpgvmp95m49jqwjcju3jy525q7h4f9g Tyrone Slothrop @nprofile…r9rs clicking through to the mission statement is so worth it.

Locate "Applications" folder 2. Move app to trash bin 3. Empty trash bin 4. Manually hunt down associated files How about something like "apt purge"? Is this the famed Apple usability? https://osxdaily.com/2024/08/01/how-uninstall-vmware-fusion-mac/ npub12xtyd2w3v3nwe997a5z6hcpwsn7wpgvmp95m49jqwjcju3jy525q7h4f9g Tyrone Slothrop @nprofile…v782 Uffa.

It states that when you buy a product, you have the right to receive the data that this product generates during operation. This should be a boon to anyone who likes to play with devices. Has anyone here looked at this stuff from a hacker perspective, by any chance? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Act_(European_Union) https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/2854/oj/eng #EUDataAct npub12xtyd2w3v3nwe997a5z6hcpwsn7wpgvmp95m49jqwjcju3jy525q7h4f9g Tyrone Slothrop @nprofile…x759 Now I'm too afraid to ask. The other two solutions that I guess most lawyers would use are, I'm afraid, unavailable to you: 1. Get a junior staffer to deal with it (no junior staffer) 2. Bill the client for your time (moral scruples) npub12xtyd2w3v3nwe997a5z6hcpwsn7wpgvmp95m49jqwjcju3jy525q7h4f9g Tyrone Slothrop @nprofile…x759 If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion: You could do what 99.98% of lawyers would do, which is to email the client and say "I can't open your document, could you please resend in a different format"
