I think it was meant that, as risk factors go, drinking alcohol is a lower risk factor than being lonely. This to point out just how dangerous it is to be lonely in the long term and how important it is to seek out new friendships, not to suggest drinking alcohol.

It's a bit of different data structures, standard library usage, error handling, string formatting and printing. Sometimes there's some dependency management as well if the hashing implementations are not part of the the standard library as well. At it's easiest it's pretty simple, but you can of course make it as complicated as you want as with any program.

Comment on Which Linux distro do you use, and why? in ~tech
Bwerf LinkRight now only regular Ubuntu on server and desktop. It's mostly worked very well. I don't tinker too much and "just wants things to work", and Ubuntu has worked very good for me there.Right now only regular Ubuntu on server and desktop. It's mostly worked very well.

Still probably much more that can be said though. All in all I get the impression that since Tisza is so young, noone really knows yet where they actually stand.

In the historical way, it was built on top of the rubble of the third reich to be a spy central by the americans against the eastern bloc during the cold war. It has a lot of cool "street" art and it's just a really cool place to explore, these ruins where you can climb really high and look at the amazing view. Also there's some nice nature areas around it. I can really recommend it. If you want to go skinny dipping there's a very chill place nearby called Teufelssee. Maybe a bit too far to travel if you're just in Berlin for two days, but I've been there several times and always had a great time.

We didn't go for a biking tour, but bikes are just a really good way of getting around in the city.Another vote for biking in Amsterdam, I can warmly recommend it.

If you only visit one it should probably be the Vigeland park, but you can find pictures online on what they generally look like. The Ekeberg park is much more varied for better and worse.

The main idea behind not supporting harry potter/rowling is that your money going into harry potter are funneled into making lives worse for trans people. A better parallel imho would be how paying for hollywood war movies adds money into the us army which is then used to bomb iran and also recruiting people into doing so. Or maybe how having us centric view directly hurts people in the third world (I don't know if it does, but if you believe so it would be a good comparison to make). I don't know what is right for the discussion on tildes, just trying to clarify the arguments.

Comment on 2026 Danish general election: Parliament has the most ever women [48%] and lowest ever average age [43.9] in ~society
Bwerf LinkThat's some good news. I'm curious how the age and gender distribution holds over the whole political spectrum, or if it varies. Anyone knows?That's some good news. I'm curious how the age and gender distribution holds over the whole political spectrum, or if it varies. Anyone knows?
Personal observation, I have a 4k monitor at work, and a ultrawide at home, and the 4k doesn't do much for me, but the ultrawide is awesome. Everyone is not the same, etc, but i'd go with ultrawide every time if I had the choice.
