Frontend is what is being actually interacted with by the intended user.

In a car the frontend is:

• Steering wheel
• Gear stick
• Wheels
• Seats
• Pedals
• Lamps
• Ports for pouring in oil, windscreen washer, fuel
• All the different buttons on the dashboard and elsewhere
• Doors
• Keyholes

In a car the backend is:

• Engine
• Gearbox
• Fuel pump
• Cabling
• The actual lightbulbs inside the lamps
• Mechanism for reacting to key being turned in the lock

Etc.

Frontend is what is what is being physically used, backend is what actually makes all of this function. Of course anyone can also go poke at the backend, but without some very deep knowledge, you’re bound to break something. Better let the backend specialists (regarding cars: a mechanic) handle whatever counts as backend if they need to be touched.

In a physical shop the frontend is anything the customer interacts with, while backend includes for example the workers’ pause room, the intermediate storage for goods brought to the store by lorries, etc.

What’s the thing on the upper right corner of the key with number 3? Could it be the apostrophe? Try AltGr+3 and see what happens. Or maybe it’s Meta+3? Meta is the key between left Ctrl and left Alt. You can also try AltGr+Shift+3.

Where does it not?!

And then you don’t have dead keys.

You press `, then you press e. You get è without needing a specific key for that. The standard Finnish keyboard can do at least the following: ãẽĩõũṏñṽēūȳīōāḡȫǟǖŵêŷûîôâŝĝĥĵẑĉẇėṙṫẏıȯṗȧṡḋḟġḣȷŀżẋċḃṅṁẉẹṛṭỵụịọạṣḍ̣ḥḳḷẓ̣ṿḅṇṃțșȩŗţşḑģḩķļçņẃéŕýúíóṕáśǵj́ḱĺźćǘńḿẁèỳùìòàǜǹm̀ěřťǔǐǒǎšďǧȟǰǩľžčǚň

If I disable deadkeys, I lose all those characters. Many people on this planet have names that require those, and it’s a bit stupid not having them. Pressing space every now and then is not that much of work :)

Oh, and indeed: On the Finnish keyboard ~ is a deadkey. You get it by pressing the "^~ key together with AltGr, then pressing Space.

The Finnish word for “to marry” also means “to fuck”. Apparently the meaning for fucking was the first one? And the couple gained the right to fuck once they had successfully completed a wedding ceremony.

It works about so that “I want to fuck the you” means “I want to marry you” and “I want to fuck you” without the definite form is an invitation to mere copulation.

Huh? At least if hate speech is clearly and strictly defined in the law, this is the same as asking “Should owning a weapon without any controls be a civil right? I know it already is but should it be?”

In most countries hate speech is illegal. Anything else would be outright moronic.

The Nameless One. From PS:T.

A very practical person!

What’s it like to go to doctor?

Well, annoying. Something is wrong in your body and that’s never fun. And then they need to do some procedures that also usually won’t feel nice.

A broken arm, for example, probably means some kind of painkiller pushed into my muscles with a syringe. That hurts. And then I’ll be needing a cast. Meh.

This answer sounds kind of banal… But this is proably about what you did expect(?)
And I don’t know if I’d have to pay. Never broken an arm. Probably nothing. Or maybe many tens of euros? Definitely not over 50 €, though.

I’m in Finland, but this should, by all logic, apply to pretty much the whole of not-USA.

Yeah, that’s true. Although, not by much. I remember that in 1990’s there was still plenty of distrust towards them, as they were seen as nazis. Nobody wanted Germany to become strong. The 1990’s began 45 years after WWII had ended, and while the trust had been almost recovered, it was still not intact. I’m not sure if it’s even now: Germany is the biggest reason we didn’t support Ukraine militarily as much as needed back in spring 2022. They wanted cheap gas and were ready to accept horrors in the name of political realism. It’s hard at least for me to not see a connection between that cynicism and what the same cynicism led to in 1920’s and 1930’s.

Yeah, that’s absolutely correct, I agree!

But, it won’t return our trust towards USA. That will take decades, no matter what. Dethroning Trump is a good beginning. Or beginning of a beginning. But actual permanent changes would need to take place, amd I don’t really see them 8n the horizon.

Oh, thanks for the heads-up! I edited the comment now. And know to be careful with this in the future!

There are legislative bodies that exist precisely for changing such laws. Make an exceptional law that is valid for only this one time use and then hire new judges, some of which are allowed to be among the ones fired.

So, basically one NATO member is saying that it will not honour its commitments if Spain ever gets attacked?

And maybe this means that all official documents will have to be delivered to the Spanish by some other NATO member state?

A suspension that suspenses nothing. Hooray.

That would decrease my trust. It would look like they are doing nothing to learn from their FAFO.

…and that time is about two generations. People reproduce at around age 25, so two generations are about 50 years.

I hope other countries will heed the warning.

Simple: refrain from doing any stupid shit for half a century. Any stupid shit will kick the timer backwards 70% of the elapsed time.

(There really is no other way)

Woah! I read tuhat part of their message as sarcasm and was surprised by the sudden change of to be… But they really meant it literally!

Therapy won’t help instanteneously. It also will alleviate the suffering, but not remove it.
