Nonono, we would say ‘‘Geschmackssache’’

Who isn’t unbiased nowadays tho. Every news agency seems to have some agenda or at least tendencies

Gitlab requiring a phone number verified account to report bugs kinda turned me off of that platform. Never used Codeberg but heard good things.

It is powerful, but usability is as shit as it always has been. Except for specific use cases Krita is the way to go nowadays. Even if it’s focussed on digital painting, it has almost everything you need for digital editing as well, with a much more user friendly UX.

Same story at my company. Everybody’s crying at the lack of skilled labor to justify outsourcing to east europe and india. Couple years later everybody’s crying because of the brain drain and how expensive external ressources have become. It’s a never ending circle of short sighted stupidity.

Well dutch is almost a case of its own regarding difficulty to find dubbed content. Even your regular tv channels don’t dub american content, which means almost everyone in the netherlands is fluent in english: barely anyone needs dubs.

“Can I please use your phone?” and then just start scrolling through their texts and pictures

I don’t understand the need for an ultimatum. This is common knowledge since it’s all over the news. The UN was pretty clear on this according to CNN: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/09/middleeast/un-rights-chief-israel-hamas-war-crimes-hnk-intl/index.html

When I finally switched from windows to linux a year ago, I read about timeshift and how it is basically windows restore points. So I installed it and played around with it but didn’t really get it so I wanted to remove it. At that point I didn’t really understand what symlinks are, and I just thought timeshift is just crappy bloatware that dumped a bunch of unecessary shit on my drive. So I sudo deleted that shit. Turns out that was a bad idea. That’s the story how I nuked my first linux install.

That’s super interesting. So ads are possibly only half as effective in Europe?

100% this. I’d argue though, that the price point is fair. In 2018, Facebook earned an average of roughly $110 in ad revenue per American user according to this article.

Lords of the Fallen is pretty recent if you’re into soulslike games

This might not be what you wanna hear, but accounting for linux in game dev, especially in online games, comes with added costs. For most companies those added costs do not make financial sense, when the linux demographic is so incredibly small (1.63% on steam: https://www.statista.com/statistics/265033/proportion-of-operating-systems-used-on-the-online-gaming-platform-steam/ )

Yes. Yes it is. Welcome to 2023.

Ok, I know we love to shit on that “game”, but that video in and of itself left me speechless.

Because of GPU passthrough

I don’t undestand this comment, could you please elaborate?

The way I way I see it, privacy without anonymity only works if you can trust a service provider. Since there are no trustworthy providers, especially since legislation can cancel any assurances anyone could give you, anonymity becomes the only way to ensure privacy, making it virtually synonymous.

I do use steam so please don’t misunderstand this as bashing, but you don’t own anything on steam either. You rent it for life and access can legally be withdrawn if you act against the TOS. If you’re looking to buy games GOG is the only real option I know of.

Ya, and the added value of OP writing that thought down is absolutely non existant

Like @merde@sh.itjust.works said, several accounts for a tech illiterate person is counter productive. Unsubscribe what you can unsubscribe and then filter rules on thunderbird like you proposed. That’s how I do it with my elderly parents.
