Yes, you are just quoting the article which I already read, but this fails to answer the question why the same JS does something different depending on whether it is part of an SVG or not. Should it not be possible to put the same JS directly into the HTML?

Why is SVG necessary for this? JS can be executed from HTML by itself; does putting it into SVG disable certain browser security features? I am a bit confused about this.

it’s stupid that English uses Latin abbreviations for these things; my first language is German and so:

• “z.B.” = “zum Beispiel” = “for example” = “e.g.”
• “d.h.” = “das heißt” = “that means” = “i.e.”

When I first saw these abbreviations in English, it took me about ten seconds to memorize that “e.g.” means “z.B.” and “i.e.” means “d.h.”. If English just did it the way German does and abbreviated its native expressions (“f.e.” and “t.m.”), it would be obvious to everyone which is which.

I’ve found it fairly inaccurate and imprecise for purposes of ship spotting. Often it even says things like “2 hours ago”.

For planes meanwhile, flightradar24 is absolutely excellent.

You can add new roads (or really anything) with desktop editors like JOSM, iD, Merkaartor, or on Android you can use Vespucci. StreetComplete is intentionally very limited in what it can do so that it’s easy to use, so you can’t add new roads with it.

quick reminder: the project is called “OpenStreetMap”, without an “s” in the end

The wiki is definitely the most authoritative source.

I still sometimes ask myself what was wrong with the web forum that it needed to be replaced by modern “social media” formats…

Yes, fighting crime (especially such uncommon crime) is a lot more important than privacy or non-censorship. That is definitely the right attitude for a free society. Nothing bad can come from it. /s

John Perry Barlow was right with his Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace.

pretty sure they don’t, those last things are already (or will be?) banned for young people in Australia :(

If I hadn’t had the Internet growing up, I would have 0 (zero) positive memories of my preteen and teenage years. People who want to take that away from future generations are truly pure evil. I have no other words.

at least 13, at most 25 years depending on various factors (how long you have been employed in total, how long you studied in school/university, and other factors)

Yes, legally required for all employees. 6 weeks for employees who have been working at the current company for a very long time.

Yes. People interested in news about that should consider subscribing to !bad_internet_bills@lemmy.sdf.org where I regularly post news articles I can find about it. I don’t always crosspost them here.

In Austria, vacation days expire two years after the end of the vacation year in which they were created. So you can save up vacation days, but not all of them for four years. You can do things like: go on only two weeks of vacation in year 1, then eight weeks in year 2.

“All” means all. I suggest not using “all” but subscribing to things you actually want to see.

It’s not very surprising, base64 is just a conversion of the byte stream that makes up a file, so it’s clear that similar-starting byte streams will also start similarly when encoded as base64. But still good to know.

I mean the only reason it hasn’t passed yet (it was originally proposed in 2022) is because there has been quite a bit of opposition.

I had some problems accessing my instance for a few minutes earlier today, but right now everything is working smoothly.

Es hat mit Netzpolitik zu tun, ist hier also ontopic.

Ich teile hier Artikel, auf die ich aufmerksam werde, die damit zu tun haben, dass Regierungen der Welt das Internet unnötigerweise und übertrieben regulieren, und wie verschiedene Betroffene darauf reagieren. Zugegeben, ich hab auch schon viele interessantere Artikel geteilt und habe tatsächlich etwas gezögert, ob das interessant genug ist. Aber wenn es jemand anderer als Musk gewesen wäre, hätte ich den Artikel ebenfalls geteilt.
