Maybe not quite that bad, like they still have to apply the federal law, meaning possession and private consumption are still legal and there is nothing much they can do about that. But I wouldn't recommend it without knowing what you can and cannot do very precisely. They will certainly push the boundaries. Just don't consume publicly in Bavaria.

Rest of Germany should be fine if you use the bubatzkarte and don't have more than 25g (~0.88 ounces).

Well if I learned one thing about biology it is that it eludes simplistic notions as the one presented in the meme, so I get where you are coming from here. However I very much doubt the sudden disappearance of viruses would end complex life or evolution, since there are other avenues of intra-species mutation and inter-species gene transfer. It would doubtlessly upset the balance of pretty much every existing ecosystem of course.

That said, don't overthink it, it's just a meme about the (slightly modified) Agent Smith reference so neatly lying around in the parent comment.

D'accord. Ich trage ja schon länger die Hypothese mit mir rum das mehr als nur ein bisschen des zu beobachtenden zivilisatorischen Niederganges der letzten Dekaden ursächlich auf den Klimawandel zurückzuführen ist, inklusive des globalen Rechtsrucks in der Politik.

Die Kausalkette scheint da ziemlich offensichtlich. Mehr und mehr Ökosysteme kollabieren → Druck auf die restlichen Ökosysteme steigt → Noch mehr Ökosysteme kollabieren noch schneller → Druck auf politische, wirtschaftliche, und soziale Systeme steigt mit.

Und, typisch Mensch, greift man dann in Reaktion darauf (lies: politisch reaktionär) nach altbewährten "Lösungen", weil früher war ja alles besser also lass uns alles so machen wie damals™, dann wird das schon wieder. Wird natürlich nicht funktionieren, denn hat es sowieso noch nie plus die Problemlage ist jetzt grundlegend anders.

Das führt natürlich zu der Frage was denn eine Lösung wäre, und die erschütternde Antwort ist wahrscheinlich das es keine rechtzeitig umsetzbare Lösung gibt. Ein evolutionärer Ansatz ist zu langsam und ein revolutionärer Ansatz zu zerstörerisch um effektiv zu helfen. Der einzige Weg den ich sehe der vielleicht helfen könnte wäre der UN oder einer vergleichbaren Organisation globale Exekutiv- und Legislativgewalt in Klimafragen zu übertragen, damit sich der Kampf gegen den Klimawandel halt nicht nur in Lippenbekenntnissen erschöpft die aus dem Fenster fliegen sobald man den wirtschaftlichen Wettbewerbsnachteil darin erkennt. Aber dafür ist das internationale Misstrauen zwischen den Nationalstaaten wahrscheinlich (schon/wieder/noch immer) zu groß, und die bereits beginnenden Ressourcenkriege und Massenmigrationen werden in der Hinsicht auch nicht helfen.

Tja in der Tat.

I'm involved in the development of an addon for the Classic WoW versions (Questie), and the thing I do there is such a convoluted process that not doing it feels like letting my fellow devs and the users down. But you can do development on the PTRs and beta servers, so I haven't given money to Blizzard in a long time. Now you could argue that this is even worse in regards to supporting Blizzard than just paying for a game, but I rationalise it to myself with the fact that the newer clients will inevitably be used for private servers just like the old ones were (some already are actually).

Neither. Battle.net is Blizzards game launcher and store. They also own that domain, but the name usually refers to the binary.

The WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY=1 %command% is the Steam launch option you set, with %command% meaning roughly "what Steam would do without any launch options set".

The whole process was a bit finicky and I did it a few month ago, but from what I remember it went something like this:

• Download battle.net installer
• Add it as non-Steam game to run it
• Locate the newly created prefix in Steam directory
• Add the Battle.net.exe in it as a non-Steam game, then remove the installer (not the other way around or the prefix will be deleted)

Oh so that's what you meant. Thought you meant don't use Lutris at first because of how you worded it. That makes much more sense.

AFAIK you can set Lutris up to use GE or Proton builds.

Did that too a while back, but anecdotally it feels lees buggy through Steam, especially regarding updates.

Also clicking the Stop button in Steam doesn't leave behind zombie processes off Battle.net.exe and Agent.exe, which I had to manually kill when using Lutris. Assume that's due to Protons(?) pressure-vessel thingy.

WYSIWYG means there is just one window and it correctly displays however the end result will be. Like using Word.

The only thing WYSIWYG means is "what you see is what you get". If you have a live preview you see what you get. *shrug*

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I have seen an editor that does it in a single pane, but couldn't recall the name of it right now for the life of me. Also not sure if it used Electron...

Split window + live preview is presumably much easier to program

Yes, obviously. It's actually so simple that I once built this myself in a few hours, with a bit of Qt and a call to pandoc. You can skip building, saving, and updating an abstract syntax tree, as well as expanding the nodes the cursor is in to the markdown source, which is a whole lot of complexity.

I’m not sure if it’s impossible to create a proper WYSIWYG editor without electron or just nobody has bothered.

Of course it's possible. But by now there are like hundreds of markdown editors around, so the problem will be finding the one that meets your specifications between the avalanche of those which don't.
