I thought the issue was they wanted search engines to be able to see the content, but not non paying viewers? Hence slightly shitty paywalls.

That’s a fair point, other than I do need to work at home on occasion!

I’ll have a good think about it.

I keep seeing these " time to move to Linux" threads. For my work I have to use super proprietary software which I know for a fact is Windows only. Not only that it’s GPU intensive CPU intensive and niche. I’m sure there’s a way to run Windows within Linux but I can only imagine the pain in trying to get proprietary shite to work.

On top of that I need specific CAD software, Photoshop and Illustrator. I don’t think any of these daily used programs support Linux.

From the outside, Linux just seems like an absolute ball ache to get working with all of the things I currently do without even thinking about it.

I’d love to do it. Not sure it’s going to work. Am I wrong?

Yes, I’d like to see this list with four home school kids lol

It’s like going to battle, and in war, the enemy also makes plans!

And to quote Mike, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

I watched a couple Of live streams showing a graph for bandwidth as they flew. It tended to spike to around 180 MB a second when whole new areas were loading but during flight it was much much lower at around 10 to 15 MB per second.

This post reads like a really shit brag. I’m certain your daughter would also be doing great in life if you hadn’t harmed her.

You seem proud of causing her physical pain due to her unexpected expression of big emotions. You probably did great raising her on the whole if she is doing great in life, so why you would think that hitting her is the thing you want to highlight to randoms on the internet is weird.

Kids throw tantrums. It’s hard on parents when that happens, but those of us with kids (and probably many others too) have total sympathy for the parent in that situation. Some passersby will get annoyed, sure, but they can just turn the corner and not deal with it, so they will get over it.

Getting down to your kids’ level and talking through their behaviour and feelings is hard work, but it’s better than physically hurting a defenceless child.

Next time you fuck up, perhaps you should be slapped about? Or how about if your behaviour annoys me, perhaps I should slap you. Maybe I should wait until no one else can see though, I wouldn’t want to be judged or get into trouble, just like you took her home to hit her!

Internet forums hate kids on the whole, so I don’t expect many to agree with my views. But as a parent of some great kids, none who have ever been physically hurt by their parents, I can tell you there is always an alternative to being violent with them.

When I used to have Reddit on my phone, I’d look at it as soon as I woke up. There was new content constantly throughout the day so I kept coming back.

Lemmy doesn’t have the content churn, so I can genuinely just look once a day and spend an hour or so catching up. No FOMO! I much prefer it.

However I do miss some of the niche subreddits that got reasonable activity on Reddit and absolutely zero activity here. They were my favourite part of Reddit.

I’d take more activity in those niche places, but I don’t miss the addiction I had.

Spez let me go cold turkey for a while. Thanks (fuck) Spez.

I thought masks wouldn’t protect against a virus (being tiny) but might help slow the spread to others by stopping spittle/moisture filled with virus from covering real world objects.

How do they help you if no one else is wearing them?

Europe’s pretty free mate. Especially when you get cancer. You get to keep your house!

We do not use those descriptors in houses, like ever.

You would be downstairs on the ground, upstairs above that.

You might get specific and say “he’s in the loft room”.

Before you go yacht shopping, gold is worth double platinum.

Doesn’t appear to be on audible UK - is it on USA?

Just rented a Tesla on holiday. None of it works while driving.

Have to say though I do like the car!

I also can make up statistics.

The concept of f droid is great. The UI and UX absolutely suck.

However it is functional, it is free and isn’t run by a limitlessly budgeted mega corp.

My fucked up country is hopefully moving back to the centre next month. We still fucked all our lives up with Brexit though.

The irony of the UK having a normal government just when the EU pivots towards the right.

I run some windows-only proprietary software. Realistically what’s the performance like with Wine or whatever it is that emulates windows?

I run a lot of GPU accelerated CAD

Parity in this case would likely mean nearly everyone just buys directly from steam. No doubt Sony would infect the gaming process by injecting their launcher no matter what you do, but steam will get their 30%.

I don’t know what Sony could offer on their own storefront that plays well with parity rules to make people choose it over steam.

But the thought of them operating their own store front and offering steam keys with every sale won’t happen. Valve have stopped that in the past.

Surely debts are taken from your estate?

It’s worse than that, they have an existential crisis due to older voters not wanting them. For decades as people got older they started getting more conservative (small c) in their views. This has stopped happening on a scale that it once did.

Their voters are literally dying and not being replaced. It’s mainly because people around the world have not been able to generate wealth and assets to the extent that generations before them have.

Good fucking riddance to them all.
