Damn. This is basically one of 2 reasons I still dual boot. My Studio One 5 install and FiveM. Gave me one less reason to keep Windows around.

Looks a bit like a golden orb weaver. I love these spiders. Even though my wife has arachnophobia I always wanted to show them to her because they’re so cool but I know she’d hate it. Haha

Most likely. I see many satirical or ironic jokes go over many heads here.

Linux has come a long way with gaming fortunately. I daily drive fedora and use Proton-GE/Wine-GE and can play most games with the exception of some problem ones (Assetto Corsa & Rust, I’m looking at you).

Only time I ever fool with W11 these days is when I use Studio One for music or play on of the (very few) problem games some friends want me to join them on. I’d recommend checking out the Nobara distro for games.

Not surprising OSX is a better Windows in some ways. Switched to iPhone last summer for my daily driver and don’t regret it. Best mobile experience I’ve had since my custom ROMs days on Android. Even started out setting up app folders to copy my Nova Launcher setup. That said, I’ll be excited when more privacy respecting options come around to the mobile market for my next phone.

Ah this is true.

Man leaves gang, teaches dominatrix how to do her job, gets really good at dancing and finds his love for slot car racing.

It’s almost certainly redcurrant and please don’t eat random plants without certainty.

(The berries were sort of translucent, right?)

I’ve had pretty good luck with the random kitchen accouterment or phone case from Aliexpress but probably due to marketing, Temu seems to have overwhelmed several countries’ postal systems so I’ll also be steering clear. These companies (amazon included) all massively contribute to exploitation though so I wouldn’t recommend going hog wild on them with 100 orders of random shit.

Just turns out that it’s really cheap to make various types of garbage in China and ship it the cheapest possible way that takes 1+ months to arrive. Many of these products lack fancy packaging and marketing as well which also slashes costs.

Clash of Clans obviously.

It’s fortunate that this never caught on.

Time for musicians to protest and riot*!

It sounds like you think that you know a lot about me. Please tell me more.

It’s definitely not a self report to be defensive when no one said anything specifically about you before losing your shit and taking things personally.

Whether or not I do, they won’t be “raised” by slipping into a YouTube Kids coma 24/7 unsupervised.

They kind of already had this. Hopefully with charging a fee, it will have better content or at least fund NASA missions.

Either way I look forward to pirating it.

What a hassle. Might actually have to be a present parent in your child’s life. 😰

Reminds me a bit of Leyndell in Elden Ring.

I also struggle with this often as a 'Merican expat living in another country, hopefully permanently. Occasionally I wanna catch up on US shit but most of the time I care more about what’s going on in Europe and other places so I couldn’t care less about the perpetually stupid shit happening back in the US.

I’m still learning the language where I moved to so English news resources that are about other places can be very valuable to me. My main resource (and advice to others with this issue) is using an RSS reader with good sources you find along the way. Not every site has RSS these days but many do. I fill in the blanks with podcasts and stories in the language of my country. Only downside is no discussion unless you post on Lemmy or other social media, but maybe that can become a thing we do. :)

Yeah that’s the unfortunate side. Given the situation it makes way more financial sense for the consumer to take the plane ticket unless they enjoy the novelty of a long train journey.

Also had a situation recently where just a 1.5 hour train trip became 6 hours due to it breaking down in a town with few bus stops and no other trains, probably due to summer tourism. It would be nice if the rail infrastructure were even further expanded and tickets made cheaper to make it more competitive.

Don’t wanna be that guy but this article is a tad bit misleading. 13 euros for a plane ticket is an anomaly and probably due to governments funding airlines to encourage tourism to their countries.

That said, a couple hours on a rickety Ryanair for <13 euros beats buying a bunch of train tickets and the stress involved. Downside is missing out on getting to stop in some cool places and see some pretty sights with comfy leg room. (Also trains are more efficient due to the amount of people boarding)

If I’m feelin’ fancy, I’ll break out the WD-40 Specialist Silicone
