Not condoning what he did in any way, shape or form, but Dutch TV adds a little more nuance not covered in foreign press:

It was explained that this happened in the UK when he was 19, and the girl was 12. The sex was consentual, but in the UK sex with a minor is always considered rape, because a 12-year old is never considered mature enough to consent to sex. He served his sentence partly in the UK, then was transferred to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, consentual sex between a minor and an adult is "fornication" and illegal as well, but the punishment is less than for rape. He is now 30, and has a family. In the interview he says he is a different person than the teenager he was 11 years ago. A grown-up with a family instead of a teenager. The thing that bothered him more than being booed (he says he blocked it out at some point) was that at one point people went to attacking his volleyball partner and his wife and child.

I can't find the full interview online, but here is an excerpt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXyNaldd0qg

Nikki Hayley is an opportunist. She sees Trump potentially losing and is shifting herself into a position of plausible deniability. If Trump were doing better she'd be completely on his side like she was when she was his spokeswoman. She knows he won't live until 90 and is positioning herself to become more powerful in the republican party.

Is anybody writing this down? Sounds like an excellent roadmap to me.

The problem with rcs is that it needs to work without a data connection like sms. For that to work, every single mobile operator needs to support it and route it. For that to work they need to work together. The problem is they don't and there are different implementations, some don't support it at all. Even when they do, the phone needs to support it. Google is now at a point where they have rcs capable messaging on every recent Android version. Apple is now also integrating rcs into iOS. They are circumventing the operator problem by enabling rcs over wifi or your subscription data. But that's a workaround, because it requires data, while sms just requires a cellphone signal. Until operators start working together to enable and relay rcs messages, Google and Apple habe the monopoly by having rcs routed directly to their messaging apps over the internet instead of directly to the device like sms does.

It feels like the ewok movies all over again. Giving it the benefit of the doubt, but I am not hopeful based on this trailer.

That's how you know you voted correctly.

Is it scrcpy?

Shit, I don't know yet how everything is connected, but I've noticed that with the rise of Linux on the desktop, the temperature on earth is rising too! /s

Regarding location for the purpose of determining what language to render the app or website in: the article skips over the fact that users can configure their preferred and fallback languages in the browser. It's perfectly possible to access that in JavaScript and render the app or website accordingly. You don't need location information for that. In fact, it totally ignores the fact that some people live (or are visiting) in a region but don't necessarily speak the language. I find it super annoying when google presents me with suggestions or ads for local businesses when I'm on vacation.

Anything that needs to be configured with YAML, and Kubernetes in particular.

I mean I get the whole Infrastructure as Code hype (although I have never witnessed or heard of a situation where an entire cluster needed to be revived from scratch), but it should be very possible to make a gui that writes the YAML for you.

I don't want to memorize every possible setting and what it does and if someone makes a typo in the config (or in the white space, as it's YAML) everything is borked.

Call me old-fashioned but the graphical ui of something like octopus deploy was a thousand times more user friendly imho.

One guy from the Netherlands is cleaning a lot of that shit up though. Look up Boyan Slat. It's not only about stopping the pollution, but also about how to help cleaning it up.

I like human competition. I have my doubts about human team mates, because some of them are total noobs. I can barely tolerate class based teams, and I hate playing medic with a passion, because no one appreciates the medic.

Where I personally draw the line is effing building shit in FPS games..Who the hell ever thought that up? I'm running around shooting people, I don't want to erect a freaking shed with a staircase in the middle of nowhere so I can freak out and hide in it like a scared rat.

Oh and skins and outfits. Nothing gives me more pleasure than constantly killing off every player with the fanciest outfit using the oldest, most default skin in the game. I'm sure you think you look super fancy in your banana suit with sunglasses that were undoubtedly bought by your freaking mom, now eat my rocket and die.
