Codeberg is great, but it is hosted in Germany, and subject to their laws. AFAIK, Germany has laws against tools for "circumventing copy protection", or "hacking".

So I am not sure that they can provide a save haven for tools, where some lawyer could argue these points successfully in front of a court.

• Sometimes you need to move a thing that is oddly shaped and doesn't fit within the confines of an enclosure

Like what? And is that a common use case?

• Depending on what you're hauling, you may want separation between the cab and the payload. Like if I'm moving dirt, I'd rather not have it rolling around my cabin

Or just put down a nylon sheet, put the dirt on top, fold the nylon sheet over it and bind it down. Now it is covered under and over and will not fly around.

In most cases I guess people will just buy prepackaged earth in bags. That also doesn't fly around.

Sure, if you are one of the very few people that work in the woods or on a field, where this common use case, then alright. But that would not explain why those cars are so common.

• Easier to clean, just take a hose to it without needing to worry about soaking the cabin

Buy a bus with removable carpet, then you can just hose it down as well. Many buses have a small step, which separates the cabin from the back, so water will not flow into the cabin.

• Access isn't limited to just the door, which can be useful when unloading something

There are many different rear door types and sliding side doors on the side that provide ample and easy access. This isn't difficult or complicated.

That didn't convince me that pickup trucks are not a very specialized vehicle for just some uses, while transporters and mini busses are much more useful for all kinds of purposes. Be it furniture, tools, sport equipment, electronics and other sensitive equipment, and people. While also being good at hauling the occasional dirty stuff, if you just put something underneath.

Yes, but apt-get is missing search for instance, because that relates to the cache, so apt-cache provides it.

apt combines all those often used commands, and provides a nicer shell presentation.

Well, there are a open source games, which are also free to play without microtransactions or other manipulative financing scheme. 0AD, Beyond all reason, Luanti and many more. Free games doesn't necessarily need to implement bad stuff, but some chose to do so.

What is up with those pickup trucks anyway? Why do so many people in the U.S. (and elsewhere) buy them?

Everything that you put in the back is subjected to weather and one of first additions people buy is a cover.

Compare that to a mini bus or transporter, you can transport as much or more than with a pickup truck, protected from weather, and you can add or remove chairs, if you need to transport people.

If you have a transporter, you can also much easier furnish the inside with racks etc, to improve space use.

Auf der einen Seite neigt man die überall zu sehen, auf der anderen Seite kann man denen bei deren Intelligenz zumuten so stark beim Malen fehlzuschlagen.

Dishonored created by Bethesda Game Studios? What are you talking about? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethesda_Game_Studios#Games_developed

To someone that can upgrade a Nintendo switch to have 8GB of RAM, can install RPCS3 and play PS3 games on it, I would say: "Do whatever you want, you are a god amongst us. I am the peasant that lives the easy life with a SteamDeck"

They are recorded in multiple different events (repairs at a professional service, oil change, inspections, etc.), but as a buyer you would have to become active, ask for and check the papers, contact past owners, inspect the car, etc.

Because changing the odometer is easy and cheap, and can raise the price at an average of 3000€ per car, it is done rather often and not discovered in many cases.

While there are laws against it, the implementation of more manipulation resistant odometers by the car vendors is still not there yet broadly.

What do you mean with "not enforced"? Do you mean that people that find manipulated odometers with proof go to court and then nothing is done?

I get that it is sometimes difficult to proof a manipulation of the odometer, and that fraud here is pretty wildly spread, and maybe more prevalent in Germany compared to France, but that doesn't mean that other countries are not doing it.

I would also agree that anyone should prefer buying from local sellers first, but just saying that this is a special issue that only Germany has to deal, because they do not care about the law and order is wrong.

This is the same logic that some people on the right have: "Crimes happen more often in cities, and the reason for that is that they do not care about the law there."

This is misleading, it is illegal in Germany, if it is about changing the odometer to a wrong record, and only legal to correct it, if it was broken or is replaced.

It is illegal in Germeny, if the purpose is to falsify it, and legal to correct a wrong record: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stvg/__22b.html

What you consider masculine or feminine behavior is mostly socially constructed.

There are these myths that only men where hunters while women where only gatherers, which turn out to be false. Women and men both hunted and gathered. Link

IMO, the real issue is that current society places to much attention to gender roles, and for men it is done it in a way that makes it difficult and contradictory for young men to find their place: "You are a 'man', and you have to behave this specific way, however if you do that you are bad and will have trouble finding a partner. However if you do not behave like a 'man', you are weird."

The conservative gender roles don't only hurt women, they hurt men as well. And dating and finding a good partner sucks for everyone.

Pretty good, however wtype is only sending keystrokes globally, with xdotool you can also move the mouse, send key events to specific windows and more.

I think you can start two Wayland compositors, and change the compositor configuration to use different mice and outputs, but I never tried this.

Yes, that is for X11. Now find one that works on all Wayland compositors, that doesn't require root permissions.

I also switched to use different Wayland compositors many years ago for my main systems, but there are also still reasons to use X11. These are mine:

• X11 forwarding, with that you can connect to another system via SSH (e.g. via ssh -Y) and just start a GUI app, and the window appears on your screen.
• Sharing individual windows via WebRTC, with Wayland compositors you can normally only share full screens. Xserver allows applications to directly capture the window content of others.
• Easily mirroring screens for presentations, with some Wayland compositors you have to capture one screen and then play it back on another screen, with X11 that is integrated into the xserver.
• Automation and keyboard macros, with X11 it is much easier to automate keyboard macros and customize keyboard mapping than on Wayland. See Xmodmap, etc. Same for mouse input. That is also a reason why implementing remote control software is more difficult with Wayland, see for instance RustDesk support for Wayland (works now, but still a bit experimental).

There might be some Wayland compositors that worked around that, but on X11 this was standard. But generally X11 provides these features for all WMs, and in Wayland they have to be implemented individually.

And some just are not supposed to work, for security reasons.

But all of this depends on your use-case. I sometimes even (can or have to) go without a Wayland compositor or X11 and render GUI directly via KMS/DRM.

Well, it just depends on your use-case. Sometimes new games or applications require newer drivers or directly a newer Windows version. This is something you just have to be aware of.

At least that was a reason I switched LTSC Windows over to Enterprise for some people.

You might likely run into issues with GPU (and other) windows drivers, which might stop supporting old windows 10 versions. At least that happened already with LTSC/LTSB. I expect this to happen especially when ordinary windows 10 EOL is reached.
