That was hard to read, damn. I can read German quite well, but the font basically makes the capital letters a pure gamble to me. I guess this is a lesson to always listen to speaking cats lol.
Edit: Like “Der Vater hat’s verboten”. “Vater” is written more like “Bater” in this font
This is simply not true in my experience. Basically everyone I know has to deal with all kinds of shit when installing Linux. Broken graphics drivers, random freezes, the touchpad disabling after closing the laptop, wifi not working, etc. There’s always something. Now I don’t mind fixing that, because I enjoy Linux more despide all of these issues. Andost of my friends manage to solve it as well because they’re programmers like me. But the average person might not be able to solve it and will feel like they’re constantly interacting with a broken system.
It surprises me that so many people think it didn’t fail. Remainers, which as far as I can remember nearly made up 50%, will almost all think it has failed from the start because they see the whole Brexit as a failed idea. And many Brexiteers seemed to have very unrealistic ideas about Brexit, seemingly thinking that they could just boss the EU around and get everything their way. And because we don’t live in their fairytale Brexit utopia world, they would always have been disappointed. Add to that the general incompetency of the Conservatives and it’s honestly quite astounding that anyone still thinks it’s going well.
Nope, I’m European so I’ve never heard of it tbh. I like pizza, so I wouldn’t mind trying if I ever end up ip in the area somehow
Damn I just woke up from a midday nap, wondering what year it is. Very relatable meme
Also Rocket League. I’ve got like 2K hours and managed to get to Grand Champion (1) once, but usually hang around in Champ 2 or 3. In a way I just play like a very consistent Diamond player though. I can semi-reliably wavedash, sometimes manage to hit a half flip, and can’t do any flip resets, musty flicks, etc. I solely rely on positioning, shooting at the right time, fast aerials, bumping, and boost stealing.
During my master’s degree we had a course where we had to make a small app or data collection thingy using the Mastodon api (or something, can’t fully remember). So I was aware it existed, and contemplated joining at a few points. Ultimately though, I just don’t really vibe with Twitter-like social media. After Reddit did the thing, I saw Lemmy, which suits me way better. I like it so far. I’m donating a small amount of money to help with keeping the instance running, and I hope this remains a cool place to be for many years to come.
I wasn’t really aware that Keti Koti had a kind of remembrance day format. It’s hard for me as a white Dutchman to truly understand the complexities of the situation, but we can all agree that slavery was horrible and that having a remembrance ceremony like this is a good thing. The apology seemed sincere and well received.
Because on my phone, using Firefox, the mobile experience isn’t too great. It’s slow, sometimes the screen just blanks out and I need to reload, and sometimes it rapid-fires new posts on the top of the page which makes it impossible to click anything
Ah it seems to work now, thanks!
How do I follow these links correctly? I’m using the web UI right now, but clicking the link will open the other instance (and thus not allow me to subscribe). I assume the text above the link is the correct reference, but it’s not clickable for me
Yeah this is definitely a good mentality to become a better person. I’m still struggling a bit with wanting to do everything perfectly, which causes me to stop doing it. But I’ve started getting more success with just telling myself they “anything is better than nothing”.
I used to not really do any sports and eat whatever I felt like. In the past few years I’ve started turning it around by picking up running and trying to eat better. If I would’ve expected perfection in either of those, I would’ve quit within a month. But by being proud of every good decision I make, however small it is, I managed to keep it going and changed my health for the better.
To be honest, I disagree. It’d be logical if that was true, because that’s what you’d expect, but I’ve met plenty of counterexamples. People who were well educated in some subject and therefore assumed that they know everything better. I’ve found that for a certain group of people, having a bachelor’s or master’s degree makes them overestimate their ability massively. Some of them you could at least partially convince with facts, but I’ve also met a few of them who has gone completely off the deep end. Well educated doesn’t always mean intelligent
Not my experience. I’ve had multiple old games and an old printer that just straight up didn’t work under Windows. On Linux however (using wine for the windows exe’s) it usually does run. Sometimes it does require some googling, but there’s usually someone who tried it before.
I heard some stuff about Arch actually coming with an installer itself nowadays, but I haven’t tried it yet. Fedora has been nice though. It felt very polished and I haven’t had any big issues yet. Packages seem quite up-to-date. But of course it’s not on my main PC, so I’m not using it as often as Arch.
Maybe I could’ve phrased that better, since I’ve indeed only seen 1 or 2 of those and most of them don’t go that far. The rest were “only” defending countries like China, which still isn’t exactly great.
Yeah exactly. I don’t mind people who read about communism and think it’s a good idea. I used to think communism was better than capitalism when I was younger as well, although I was not at all as well read up on it as some people here. But a subset of them (who I refer to as tankies) appear to support all kinds of horrible regimes because they used to be “communist” like China or sometimes even Russia.
I never said I was 100% against the idea of communism, nor against people who think it’s a good idea. I’m simply against the subset of commies that seems to blindly defend horrible regimes like the Chinese communist party. And sadly the latter seems well represented here, which is the group I’d refer to as tankies.
Sometimes there’s also the line that goes down at the start of the sprint, because the team still had to finish some dumb busywork to complete a story from the previous sprint.
Cigarettes should be too expensive for anyone to buy. They ruin a lot of beautiful moments. I hate being at some party and having some idiot forcing these cancer particles into my nose because they’re too lazy to go outside to smoke.
