But that’s true for any switch to any os. If you switched to macos you would have run into the same/similar issues. I’ve been using Linux for so long that simple things that are missing from Windows are annoying, like keeping a Window on top, or using the quick GNOME overview by throwing the mouse in the corner.

I think it’s a matter of letting go when you’re ready and create new habits, and not try to shoehorn in old habits. That’s general advice. Sometimes people just want Windows but without Microsoft’s privacy disaster, but Linux just is different. I’m talking in general, not specifically to your grievances @millie@beehaw.org 🙂

I think it’s an. Was it?

So many, depends on the booted OS and what I feel like or what the kids feel like playing.

Currently doing a mix of Quake 2 single player (100%ed it on nightmare but I keep coming back to it), Half-Life deathmatch (hilarious with the kids as we try to lay out traps for eachother), Reflex Arena, Planetside 2, Age of Empires 2, OpenRA, Fortnite (kids love it so I play along), Ion Fury, Fallout 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Last 3 are story modes, so they take long. Only Ion Fury is linear though, so it’s easier to come back to.

We also got some pretty big balls. Balls of steel.

Check out the Atomium!

How do Germans phonetically pronounce the digraph ij?

Interesting and also makes me want to clarify something. “Right of way” as in “I’m allowed to do this” is not what I initially meant. The concept I’m talking about is called “Voorrang van rechts” where voorrang means right of way, but as you can see it only translates half of it. “Van rechts” means “from (the) right”. I just looked it up to get a proper full translation or equivalent, but all translations stop at “right of way”, which simply is “voorrang”. A language barrier if you will.

No, even in Europe there are small differences in rules and signs even.

In the US I believed it’s legal to pass people from the right if they are driving to your left. That’s illegal here, you can only pass from the left.

It’s also illegal to hog a lane, you must always use the right most lane when it’s free, unless you’re passing.

Doesn’t matter who got there first, person from the right gets right of way even if he came later. You approach the intersection with caution and make sure you can stop to yield should anyone come from the right.

When roads meet, whoever comes out of the street to your right has right of way. Signs can be put up to overrule this basic rule, for example when small side roads connect to a main road, but if for some reason no signs are posted, whoever comes out of that small road has right of way. Clear and simple.

Does or did? It’s not clear from the link at first glance.

On my car you have to access them via the wheel case, rotate the wheel to the left or right to access the left or right front lights, then stick your arm all the way in there and change the light blindly because you can’t see shit from this angle.

60 autos in brand op oudejaar in Brussel ook, en ze wisten dat het zou gebeuren

Your traffic laws are weird.

• Overtaking/passing on the right

• 4 way stops and whoever comes first can go

• No strict right of way when coming from the right

• Right on red

• Grinding all traffic in all directions over multiple lanes to a stop when a school bus stops

At least the last one I can understand a little with the nearly non-existent pedestrian infrastructure.

10000 kilometers on a cosmic scale is pretty accurate. A little too accurate, no?

You still didn’t answer lol

When trying to improve a warplane, they were looking at the planes that returned and reinforced the parts that had bullet holes, until someone remarked they should reinforce the parts that didn’t have holes, insinuating that if a plane was hit in those places it couldn’t have returned to be inspected, since they were the actual weak spots and would have been shot down.

I’ll get me coat…

I hope it’s a Fast Show reference
