How does suing in a different country work, for instances in Europe? Do they actually have any leverage?

Good luck finding "all the domain names". IDK about suing, but unlike centralised monoliths like Facebook, you'd have to sue every instance violating your rules separately, and that's assuming you can pin down who and where to sue for each of them.

The USA doesn't have a slave caste making up 80% of its population that it ritually declares war on every year. They aren't quite as bad as Sparta.

Yet.

I got out-pedanted? Impossibile!

Bene factum

Okay Imma pick a fight here. Your suggestion is the opposite of pedantic. It advocates for a "vulgarisation" of Latin loanwords (in the sense of "making them more like common words").

I want to go back to pluralising more words in line with their Greek or Latin roots. I want to reverse the perfectly natural and reasonable linguistic shift you're proposing and instead restore or retain that piece of linguistic anachronism as long as possible.

That's what I do too - if it's a meeting I care about, I make the effort to suggest a different time. Otherwise, just decline. My calendar is visible and up to date, use the fucking scheduling assistant to tell you when I have time ffs.

Could this be normalised against the baseline distribution of languages for the respective platforms / software categories to see if there are any notable deviations?

So in a weird, roundabout way, he's saving these people from prison by putting them out of work instead?

And probably making it harder for the court to slap fines on his company and make them stick, but I'd give that a pass in this case.

it's now 18:53, and while I respect that it seems nonsensical when parsed as a number, I find 1853 more convenient to write on mobile (and it does save two keystrokes on keyboard too).

Miss me with that "1-1=12" shit.

I've heard of Kotlin in the context of Android apps, but never actually used or learned it. I did one mobile app dev project with Java in Android Studio, but never had any formal classes on it either and just learned as I went (the result was shit, but we got a decent grade for being able to evaluate the difficulties and shortcomings and point out learnings).

Having toyed with video game reverse engineering, I definitely feel like I ought to learn a bit more. I understand mov, pointers and registers, and I think there was some inc and add in the code I read to try to figure out base pointers and pointer paths (using Cheat Engine), but I think knowing some more would serve me well there.

I attended two different Bachelor's courses, one with a very technical (2016-2018) and one with a more high level focus (2018-2023). The first did have a class where we learned how to go from logic gates to a full ALU as well as some actual EE classes, but I didn't go far enough or memorise the list of classes to remember whether Assembly would have become a thing. We learned programming with first Processing, then C and C++.

The second had C as an elective course, and that was as technical and low-level as it ever got.
