brettermeier··on Mpv – A free, open-source, and cross-platform media player
Hahaha yeah, that's why I don't like it.

He really sounds like an asshole :D sorry for this stupid comment, but i had to tell.
brettermeier··on CrowdStrike fixes start at "reboot up to 15 times", gets more complex from there
IT departments sometimes ask this for a reason, after you checked if the cable is plugged.
brettermeier··on Elephants use namelike calls
Nonetheless it can be an interesting article, and if it's interesting enough people can navigate around paywalls (archive...). Otherwise I wouldn't have heard of this article and that would be sad. It's a nice read.
brettermeier··on Ask HN: What is in C-00000291*.sys?
Context: CrowdStrike (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41002195)

Lol, nobody wants that.

Recommend Mull or something else sensible.

Edit: Whoopsy, oversaw your /jk

brettermeier··on Mathematical Sculpture
Please give instructions for the assembly, as you gave already cutting specs for the Poker Face thing. Would appreciate :)
brettermeier··on Dark mode is not as good for your eyes as you believe
You talk about terminals? They talk about websites (or real text made for reading) where their statement is true.
brettermeier··on Thousands of Pablo Picasso’s works in a new online archive
Thank you for the link!
brettermeier··on Thousands of Pablo Picasso’s works in a new online archive
Does someone know where to find the photos of his art on the archive? (https://cep.museepicassoparis.fr/) I can't find it there...
brettermeier··on Why today's phones are so boooooring?
And way too big. Why doesn't have Samsung a Mini version anymore? If they look I really don't care, but that they are all scaled like tablets (the cheap ones) annoys me.
brettermeier··on I'm forking Ladybird and stepping down as SerenityOS BDFL
I hope there will be also a Windows port someday :P
brettermeier··on Protecting your email address via SVG instead of JavaScript
Thank you, didn't know that!
brettermeier··on Show HN: Browser-based knitting (pattern) software
Nice! Friend of mine loves knitting!

But in the example in your Github, was does "2K KFB 6K WYIF 3SLP" mean? The explanation is "The rest are the steps for this row.". I don't understand. Can somebody explain?

brettermeier··on Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison
And that's a good thing.
brettermeier··on WhatsApp forces Pegasus spyware maker to share its secret code
Couldn't they rip out the sensitive stuff and if it's noticed nobody from Israels government will know about it? Or is the power of the US too big to cover such thing? I guess it is, but really?
brettermeier··on Xkcd: Greenhouse Effect
With climate change your reactors will maybe be worth nothing: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/warming-rivers-threa... That's why france imported much energy from other european countries in that phase, good job.
brettermeier··on WhatsApp forces Pegasus spyware maker to share its secret code
I don't get why Pegasus should send their real source code to WhatsApp, even if they lose this case. They could just send over some nonsense, or am I missing something?
brettermeier··on Pains of building your own billing system
Really? Do you have a link to laws for that?
brettermeier··on Xkcd: Greenhouse Effect
That's good news, take it further!
brettermeier··on Pains of building your own billing system
Is that legal in germany? I don't know but I guess it isn't.
brettermeier··on Mwmbl: A free, ad-free, non-profit search engine
No, doesn't happen to me. I find those "there's an error" posts often quite amuzing but really worthless. Just get your hardware right or whatever, like everybody else does...
brettermeier··on DEF CON 32 Was Canceled. We Un-Canceled it
No community which has a healthy amount thinking about ethics and stuff would want to go to Dubai. Sorry but Dubai is one of the worst rich citys in existence.
brettermeier··on German train company are looking for a Windows 3.11 Administrator
Do you really think that this is different in other countries? As if they were changing their operating system of their trains every 5 years XD That's just stupid.
brettermeier··on In loving memory of square checkbox
You get downvoted because you argue that Apple definitely has a great idea behind the change. Why do you think that? And what are they doing about the fact that checkboxes now look like radio buttons? All you're doing is paying homage to Apple without contributing anything meaningful.
brettermeier··on Microsoft suggests command line fiddling to get Windows 10 update installed
Why, it's a funny pun against Linux and it's true, so where's the problem with the writing?
brettermeier··on Microsoft suggests command line fiddling to get Windows 10 update installed
It's about one-click-solutions what makes Windows a nice-to-use-tool, not the error messages.
brettermeier··on Microsoft suggests command line fiddling to get Windows 10 update installed
The beauty of Windows is that you have one-button-push-solutions that just work. If Linux would have that too, maybe even tech-unsavvy-users could handle it, but since Linux is made from freaks for freaks that won't happen. I mean, Linux people can't even see the problems of a not-one-click-solution, but for every normal user it's crystal clear. Command line is for tech users and really for nobody else. Nobody who isn't into tech want's to write in command shells, really, nobody!
brettermeier··on Aldi: Culture and Operations of a Hard Discounter (2023)
Some knock-off products aren't as good as the originals, that's also a "problem" here, but the discounters do this with almost every well-known product and the quality is usually okay.
