It's supposed to be animated, too?! Thought it was already bad enough as it is...
(Disabling animations is the first thing I do on a new device because why wait for animations when you have a brand new device that is supposed to be faster and snappy)
As I saw the question, I was wondering if the "pro life" discussion in the USA was causing some people to think eggs are thus also not to be 'killed' by eating them :|
The causality could also be that those who see the value of studying something to gain a good understanding are simply more willing to spend money on furthering our understanding, and of course if you think science is valuable, you're happy to take such a job and feel like you're doing meaningful work. Those people would vote for parties that align with their existing worldview before they ever considered working for governmental grant money, and probably keep that belief regardless of it
I met my best friend in an online open-source game that was pretty popular at the time (so far as foss games go). We were both into making games of our own and got talking because of that
He taught me the bits of programming I found particularly challenging, and we generally just chatted a lot and shared and played what we were making or came across online. He's now a full-time game developer at a tiny company (so he does everything from coding to sysadmin to customer support) and I'm doing IT security consultancy where customer contact and an understanding of how networks and systems run is also core to the job. Kind of surprising how close they are, but also different enough that I'm sometimes surprised what he doesn't know about security (not things he should have known necessarily, but still) and conversely I find the insights about game development still very interesting. Multiplayer lag hiding, as a random example. We're a super good match. He lives about a day driving away so we see each other every few winter/summer holiday seasons since I was ~17, at which time we met up for the first time at the only LAN party ever organised for this game (where I had the honor of making the website and meeting all these friends I hitherto only chatted with, still probably the best weekend of my life). He lives in like the most beautiful mountainous region that never gets old to this flatlander. I'm so lucky to have a friend like this, never judging, always available, understands me exactly
Can someone explain Lemmy's algorithm to me? This has 83 downvotes and 7 upvotes at the time of writing, but it's like the 11th post on my home feed when sorted by hot. Clearly nobody thinks this is a good post for the comminity; how is this still being shown in default feeds (not 'newest' or 'controversial' or so) at all?
That I'm still paying the rent amount from when we moved in nearly ten years ago. Comparable places cost twice as much when we last looked in 2024. We'd actually like to move to a more modern place but at these rates it's extremely hard to justify a nicer and/or nearer place
The landlord is super lazy, they do the bare bare minimum for maintenance and repairs so we just do the small things instead of trying to motivate him to do it or send someone, but also, bless this landlord lol!
Okay yeah I see, that sounds like the types of habits I'd run into as well!
For a German example, they look each other in the eye while toasting with full cups or glasses and make such a point of it that you almost think it's in irony but no! They're dead serious that it's otherwise worse than skipping someone xD
I tested it and there'll be months where I do 400 queries and months where there's maybe 200. Since it doesn't carry over, I'll simply have to use alternatives on a regular basis. Especially across all devices (all my work is on a computer, most of the time with unfamiliar technologies as the customer has a new project for us to pentest), I'll be out of queries most months. My employer is too scrooge to pay for our primary internal communication tool (we pay for various crap where it's mandatory, even if we barely need it, but not for a donation-run hosted service that we heavily use). They're never going to subsidise the searches I do during work time so long as competitors are "free". So I'll be stuck with other engines regardless, or have to pay as much as for a streaming service. It just seems like a lot, especially when part of it goes to Russia and burn-the-world AI bros
Before even being allowed to queue, security cared a lot that I present some email of the company I'm flying with. I had just sent the QR code to my phone, but the person doesn't have a scanner (so what is this going to prove?) and so she requires seeing the email for the privilege of confiscating toiletries. Of course the airline later scanned it just fine but I'd not have gotten on the airplane that day if I had given my laptop away as checked luggage (didn't have email on phone back then)
Of course she didn't more than glance at it, no identity card check to compare the name or anything. An invoice from my mom's dentist would probably have done the trick. Balancing a laptop on a knee, trying to two-handed type a password that you only know as muscle memory, is the sort of reason they require you to plan two hours "just in case we come up with more bullshit than expected for you or a passenger ahead of you"
And yes, my backpack with electronics needed to be flagged, bomb tested, and the last sip of water needed to be finished because the bottle was theoretically capable of holding an amount over the limit. Makes sense.
Changing (not just translating) the title is sometimes clearly necessary to preserve a joke or reference for people who don't speak the original language (otherwise they'd be reading that version already), but in most cases I find it unnecessary and just makes it hard to talk to others about it or find more info because you know it under completely unrelated names. The Wikipedia article translations about the author will sometimes mention them in a recognisable way, but sometimes not even that helps...

What's the motivation? The underlying reason matters for the approach and extent we should recommend

For those not wanting to sign up for a Google account, any other way of getting the game?

I'm probably misunderstanding the idea but isn't that called T9?

Alright I see — and happy to hear it!
"space" to save anyone a click
Why not one of the northerly neighbors? Seems more attractive to me as someone from the Netherlands
There ought to be nonfictional countries that fit that bill lol

What habits make you stand out in France? As a Dutchie in Germany I'm not aware of any, but I may just be too inept to notice :P

Yes
Yes? Who hasn't?
