“Government computing” is way too broad a term for there to be a standard for it. There are many open standards for many aspects of computing, and adopting them is obviously a good thing, but every institution has different needs.

In any case, the IPA above doesn’t seem “unpronounceable” at all to me as a native speaker of German and fluent speaker of English. The pronunciation isn’t intuitive from the spelling, that is quite a different thing from being unpronounceable.

Maybe they planned to make some changes, but never got around to them or at least didn’t get them to work the way they intended.

I’m too young to have gotten chain emails 30 years ago, but https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/courtroom.quips.html may be from that era too.

In any case, there have been way more people than those two in world history who have had the first name “Joseph”, and it works equally well for all of them.

I don’t use one except for work (to connect to corporate networks).

A VPN mostly changes which entity you have to trust (from your ISP to your VPN provider). I don’t have a reason to distrust my ISP any more than any VPN provider. I don’t have any need to regularly get around any geoblocking.

When I do privacy-sensitive things, I use Tor, which is actually effective at hiding who I am and what I am doing.

We native speakers of German intuitively pronounce an audible “g” followed by an audible “n” when reading “GNOME” and find it weird that the ordinary word “gnome” is pronounced with a silent “g” in English. The cognate in our first language is “Gnom”, pronounced with two consonants in the beginning, like the desktop environment.

What’s the difference between USA and USB?

One connects to all devices and accesses the data. The other is a hardware standard.

That would cause me to miss many interesting threads that were created at a time when I happened not to be looking at Lemmy.

“New comments” it is for me, that causes threads to get bumped to the top as long as other people still find them interesting.

no, exit codes work the other way round: 0 = success, !0 = error

When I regularly played Need for Speed: Most Wanted (the old one from the 2000s), I often intentionally didn’t escape the cops at low wanted levels in order to get to higher wanted levels. Not sure this counts because it’s basically what you have to do if you want to have fun in this game…

Recently I’ve been playing a lot of EA FC 25, and when I’m already clearly winning (or losing), I usually commit a lot of fouls just because I can.

Do you have a link to a source for this?

Notepad: Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code. Or if you like terminal windows: https://github.com/microsoft/edit

Paint: https://www.pinta-project.com/ seems to have Windows builds.

Calculator: https://qalculate.github.io/ is the best I know of.

That is the opposite of what this thread is about.

you’re the reason why threads like this exist: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/39307559

your first sentence not all verbs :D

Do you only want to geotag, without editing the files any further? If yes, you can do this on the command line with exiftool or exiv2.

If you are also going to edit your photos, then AFAICT darktable preserves all EXIF data, though I am not familiar specifically with the HDR data you refer to. It allows geotagging by dragging on a map.

The same applies to all other app stores, there won’t be any to move to.

I usually suspect cats of being communists (thus, probably atheists), given they won’t shut up about Mao.
