That was my take as well.

I gave Linux a try 2 or 3 times back when I was in school. It was a horrible user experience and games wouldn’t work back then.

Now that games on Linux are a thing, I would love to give it a try once more. But now I have a full-time office job and a family. When I’m off work, I just want to fire up the PC and have everything work, which it does with windows. I also have the Pro version of Windows 11 and don’t experience all of the ad horror that everyone here is talking about.

If I gain back the free time and mental capacity, I’ll give it a try.

Back in the 90s when I lived in Amsterdam, I also saw svp (which is actually French) used often instead of aub. I never understood why though.

Also, ff wachten for example. ff is short for effe, or rather “even”. Just wanted to throw that one into the mix.

Edit: alstublieft is also a short version of “als het uw blieft”

They still exist. In the North not so much, but in Bavaria you’ll find them on every corner.

Yeah well, they wouldn’t buy earphones with fucking cameras on them from Google either, now would they?

Man, that sucks. But also kind of explains your mindset regarding this.

This is unfortunately true. We have the same shit in Germany. The Nazis are uniting while the left fight each other because one doesn’t support lgbtq+ enough, the other group forgot to gender correctly, other hardliners won’t go to pro-democracy protests because CDU voters are amongst them. It’s pathetic. We need a strong and united front against the far right. Not this hissy bullshit.

Well that’s unfair, all you have to do is take a corkscrew to the floor and stick a pipe in it!

I never get any of these things in my install. Is this a home edition thing only maybe? Genuine question, not trying to be a smartass.

But we don’t really have it now, which is the main problem. In the time it takes to build these things (also for the money it takes), we could plaster everything full with renewables and come up with a decentralized storage solution. Plus, being dependent on Kazachstan for fissile material seems very… stupid?

24 °C is at the upper end of the comfort zone. 26 is a bit warm but nothing to cry about. I hate it when people crank up the ac to 13 °C. How’s that comfortable?

Those must be tiny screens then. 4k vs 1080p is minor in difference, even in a 77" OLED screen. There is a difference, but I can do with 1080p a lot of the times. 720p is only acceptable for older shows. Otherwise it immediately shows.

But if it’s visually appealing content, then you bet I’ll take the 4k stream at the highest Bitrate I can find.

Man, same here. In Germany, all we did was read scripts for drama plays. There’s nothing more boring. We read only one enjoyable book, which was Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.

Only recently have I started enjoying books again and it started with the Hyperion Cantos. I also read a shit ton of books with my little daughter, ranging from Toto the Ninja cat, over Stitch head and Amelia Fang to Harry Potter and Roald Dahl classics. It’s a lot of fun, especially since I get to do all of the voices. Sometimes we laugh so hard, it’s difficult for her to fall asleep :)

That is honestly a really cool feature. I’d consider myself tech-savy-ish but I always forget what the official Revanced site is. I always have to go to the GitHub. There’s so many fake Revanced sites, it’s crazy!

Me neither, but this is an article about Americans.

I honestly wouldn’t mind. Addictive feeds, no matter on which platform, are poison for a developing mind. The first generations that suffer from an upbringing under addictive feeds are showing apathy towards pretty much anything. And they’re easily brainwashed. Just look at the EU elections. The teens prodominantly voted the far right. You dont do that if you are of sound mind.

I AM RUBBER, YOU ARE GLUE

It’s a language many people understand. I mean, you have to be extremely ignorant if you think China has good privacy laws implemented. Everyone knows what a nightmare that country is in that regard, ergo no one wants to be like them.

The comments fortunately are still there, but the images are all gone. They had some trouble that was image-related which led to the server collapsing at some stage. I can’t recall the specifics unfortunately.
