Who said anything about intergalactic? It's not even inter-quadrant.

It's not like open-field battles didn't happen…

Does nobody here find it a bit insane that 11 dollars is seen as an acceptable price for a sandwich these days?

The Scrooge McDuck avatar lighting a cigar with a dollar note makes me think this was either satire to begin with, or the original poster has lost any and all contact with reality.

"They're a private company" (with a state-sponsored monopoly on an essential good).

I don't know how anybody is surprised by this. Who do you think would buy a privatized municipal water supplier, other than people trying to squeeze as much money as possible from a population with no recourse and no say in the matter?

This is x86 assembler. (Actually, looking at the register names, it's probably x86_64. On old school x86, they were named something like al, ah (8 bit), ax (16 bit), or eax (32 bit).) Back in the old days, when you pressed a key on the keyboard, the keyboard controller would generate a hardware interrupt, which, unless masked, would immediately make the CPU jump to a registered interrupt handler, interrupting whatever else it was doing at the point. That interrupt handler would then usually save all registers on the stack, communicate with the keyboard controller to figure out what exactly happened, react to that, restore the old registers again and then jump back to where the CPU was before.

In modern times, USB keyboards are periodically actively polled instead.

Non-murder solution:

Place and hold the apples precisely on top of one another. (Make sure your fingers are not in the way.) From one side of the apple tower, go horizontally exactly two thirds of the way to the other side. At that position, cut vertically through both apples from top to bottom. You now have two pieces that are two thirds of an apple each, and two pieces that are one third each. The kid you like best will receive the end slices without the apple core in it.

More realistically, disregard the stupid premise and make as many cuts as you need.

About 20 years ago, Microsoft was found guilty and convicted, because they forced their browser on their users, driving out competitors by abusing their de facto monopoly on PC operating systems. These days, they are doing the exact same thing again, just on an even broader base. I don't even understand how this verdict took so long.

Honestly, why would you host a service like that under the Afghani TLD, knowing fully well what kind of country Afghanistan is these days?

"Shut down by the Taliban", sure, because you handed them the switch to shut down for no good reason.

The way I, as another European, understand this, he's flying an anti-oppression flag and a pro-oppression flag at the same time.

The photon UI under photon.lemmy.world does not work for me in Firefox 122 under Linux, showing nothing but blank page when I open it. It works in Chromium and in Firefox on Android.

When I open the developer console, I get the following error message:

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: e.moderation is undefined

Is there any lemmy community for finding and discussing other communities, in the sense of "Hey, I am interested in this and that topic, which community should I join?"

It seems like what i2p is doing largely overlaps with what tor does. How do the two compare, and why would you use one over the other?

I see plenty of posts talking about a huge influx of new users to lemmy.ml lately. Can we get some numbers about that? How many new users per day are we talking? How does that translate to number of requests per second (or minute) on the frontend?

What kind of hardware is lemmy.ml running on? Is it just a single server? Can lemmy instances be run on a loadbalanced cluster?

I'm really interested to see how efficient and resilient the lemmy software really is, at the moment I am getting the impression that it is buckling under the load of, honestly, not even that many users...
