As the article is denoted as a comment, it is not its aim to be unbiased journalism.

In contrast to usual articles, comments usually elaborate on the opinion of the jounalist.

This reminds me on the niche tool in Mathematica I’ve been using, which has four different assignment oparators for that purpose.

<= is already no mathematical assignment operator, but a comparison operator. Thus there is no need to define e.g. <== for comparing two values.

Not really, as the reproduction, i.e. the sexual part of their cycle, happens only in cats. But I agree, it doesn’t cause a strong negative pressure, as there are lots of spores being produced in the cats and ‘enough’ find their desired target.

Its targets are mice and cats, where the latter are their definite hosts. Infected mice become less careful and thus are more likely to be captured and eaten by cats. The cat eating an infected mouse becomes infected and thus the parasites can mate and reproduce.
We as humans, are sufficiently close to mice to become infected as intermediate hosts, but we are a dead end, as we usually don’t end up as our cat’s food.

It was not special from the outside, but from the inside. It was either the envelope or the TAN list that was printed with a special pattern to prevent reading the list by using a flashlight.

As a German, when living in Sweden, I was (and still am) very impressed, how widespread the use of (Mobile) Bank ID, beside the use of the personal ID number (As a male German, the state has assigned me at least three different ones without requiring any interaction.) for basically everything, is.

In Germany, before introducing a second electronic way of authentication for online (or phone) banking, it was done by a chosen password and a TAN (transaction number) from a list that you regularly got sent by mail in a special envelope. Later it was replaced by that “thingy”, a mobile TAN generator, or push TAN via SMS.

Yay!

It says one special character, not at least one. Maybe the password has more than one.

At least it should not, in many countries must not, be the only measure.
I once encountered an OR in the requirements: Capital letters, small letters and digits OR special characters.

For us today it may be surprising, but in 1922, Einstein was not awarded for the Relativity theories (SRT 1905, ART 1915) with the Physics Nobel prise 1921, but for his theory on the explanation of the photoelectric effect (1905), as the theory of relativity was still controversially discussed.

During usual updates? Or during the major release jump of KDE Plasma from 5.x to 6.x?

Have you considered using testing instead of stable or Siduction?

But afaIk without ‘Canonical’s nonsense’, e.g. snap Firefox.

I still remember this nice ‘feature’ of XScreenSaver.

However, as of 2016 Iceweasel is Firefox ESR again.
