“Bare Metal Linux”. I like it!

searx is around for a couple of years now.

Actually no. A transsternal access to the heart is impossible with stone tools, even obsidian. Middle american ritual sacrifices were performed transphrenic – they had less problems with the complications of that access as they didn’t intend their victim to survive, in contrast to — most — modern surgeons.

legere (lat) to read => lectura (lat) the reading event => lecture (en) => lecturer (en) a person giving/hosting a reading event.

A lecturer is supposed to read the text of a book to students so that they are able to write it down and obtain a copy of it for themselves.

Books written by professional scribes are incredible expensive, and this new thing they established in Bologna in 1088 – the so called “universities” offering lectures will be a major breakthrough in the history of mankind to distribute knowledge!

Good to know some professors still honour the only true way of teaching.

Thank you. So it's not just a doorbell, rather a remote controlled surveillance and communication system. That is a bit more complicated than a bell at the door.

Why would you need any software, server or phone for a simple door bell?

No, it's about self harm and suicide as well. Being suicidal is a symptom of depression, not a free choice. In most (all?) countries psychiatric wards are oblieged to protect you from suicide.

Ah! Makes sense for them to be unmutable, then.

Where do you encounter ads in Lemmy?

Oh no, 230 years. 1866 was just the first time the Senate was involved, as far as I know.

1866

IIRC the main mechanism of the mini pill is that they prevent nidation. That's why they are (were?) banned by the catholic church.

Just looked it up – there are three mechanisms. Yours, mine and an induced tibary dysfunction. TIL, thank you.

I don't know about the US, but in Germany, by using a vending machine, you are implicitely and automatically consenting with the ToS of the vendor by your action.

In the article is a sound explanation: the machine is activated by detecting a human face looking at the display.

If this face recognition software only decides "face" or "not face" and does not store any data, I'm pretty sure this setup will be compatible with any data protection law.

OTOH they claim that these machines provide statistics about age and gender of customers. So they are obviously recognising more than just "face yes". Still – if the data stored is just a statistics on age and gender and no personalised data, I'm pretty sure it still complies even with 1920s data protection habits.

I'm pretty sure that this would be GDPR conform, too, as long as the customer is informed, e.g. by including this info in the terms of service.

It's worse: if they ban the destruction of human morulae, they have to ban the use of the pill as well, at least the mini variant.

One of two big cutting boards that are the same size. The second largest would be "das zweitgrößte".

In an everyday colloquial way.

The directional particel "hin" is a commonly used word in German without an exact equivalent in English. "thither" is the best approximation I could find, though it's usage is completely different, of course.

The spelling "tho" was commonly used back at least in North American informal writing in the 1980s already, and was proposed as a shorthand brief already by Thomas Shelton in his 1626 Tachygraphy. Predating cell phones a bit.
