Used to be addicted to only coffee but an Ireland trip introduced me to the idea of tea with milk.
Now it’s coffee during working hours, Yorkshire tea with (vanilla soy) milk otherwise.
Why?
I am addicted to coffein and really like the taste of (milky) tea
I can also justify my addiction with the various health benefits from both coffee and tea (which even complement each other a bit).
I also have some green matcha tea occasionally, or a Matcha Latte, as I find the taste of matcha rather intriguing.
Ich sag mal so, im Alltag ist mir jemand mit einem nerdigen T-Shirt ästhetisch ansprechender als jemand mit einem bügelglatten, geknöpften Hemd.
Ich dekoriere meine Wohnung aber auch mit Evolis und Gemälden von Indie-Künstlern. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, undso :)
Hmm, interesting.
I live in a place where hot water is either from a continuous flow heater, so basically no extra circulation; or from a small under-sink water heater where the water is kept at safe temperature and the distance to the tap is near zero.
But I guess in places with these big, central hot water storage thingies what the article says makes sense.
Sadly, Fortnite doesn’t run on Linux. EAC has Linux support in general but Epic doesn’t it for Fortnite…
Was one of the first things I tried on my Steamdeck after installing HeroicLauncher. Would have been nice with the gyro.

Germany, mid 30s, all the cars I’ve owned were manual so I would say - yes :D
First time I drove a rental automatic I did an accidental hard stop at about every second crossroads as I intended to hit the clutch with my left foot and lacking one just hammered the breaks instead >.>
When driving combustion I prefer manual but I’ve recently driven some EV, I could get used to that feel :)
It can be more confusing than you think at first, all the N/D/L stuff, some then also have 1/2/3, which “gear” to you start the car in, what to do when you come to a full stop (nothing, doh), …
The very first time I sat behind one was to drive a family friend home who drunk a bit too much, with his own car… I was a bit overwhelmed
In my case, not just the next session, he would find out what the big mystery is and also all the secrets of the other characters.
But I don’t think he would read any of it, he loves D&D too much to spoil himself :)
Community (It is far easier to “other” someone that you rarely or never meet in person. Not so easy if they are showing you pictures of their kids every day. “Sally just got a new particle accelerator! Isn’t she so lovely! This is her sinking Manhattan!”)
That’s just super relative.
All my active friendships are 90% online and many of those people I very deeply care about. We meet every now and then, on vacations or for special occasions, and have a really amazing time. But we also have a really good time doing online activities together, keeping in touch more or less daily via messages and actively sharing our lives with each other.
On the other hand, othering is very much a thing that happens in person and feels a lot worse when it does happen in person. When every day you see 2-3 colleagues acting differently with you than amongs themselves or with others.
Working from home it is a lot easier to be selective with people you interact beyond the work stuff and avoid negative interactions, or interactions that drain your social batteries.
I’m tried of how terrible Gmail is. Id like an email client with folders or categories. If it can sort them automatically (like how Googles now defunct inbox app used to) that would be even better....
I caught myself loads of times scrolling on Reddit while not even paying attention, or while scrolling on Reddit to then close it immediately opening Reddit again to continue scrolling....
No, since I can’t sensibly use Reddit on my phone.
I misread - yes, I use Lemmy somewhat less now than I used to use Reddit. Which is probably a good thing^^
I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.
It would be one thing if employment were “optional” to some degree, or there were always more jobs than people to do them, but so many people are one missed paycheck or medical emergency away from homelessness, you basically have no choice but to grin and bear it.
Well, it is “optional” to some degree. I know plenty of people across Europe who are doing oke enough on basic support. It’s not an amazing living but it’s not like you are out on the streets. And a medical emergency will not cripple you with debt.
At least far as actually freedom-loving democracies go (as in, free to abort, free to express your identity, free to protest, …).
Which was closed, of course. It’s a political shitshow right now. Amsterdam municipality already runs its own Mastodon, and this fuckup will probably have consequences in moving official broadcast channels off Twitter.
Mir ist auf Lemmy und kbin aufgefallen, dass fast niemand Emojis verwendet. Das ist mir damals auf Reddit auch schon aufgefallen, da war es ähnlich....
Unicode-Emojis sehen leider auf vielen Browsern/Apps/OS anders aus, da bevorzuge ich auf Plattformen wie diesem (oder zuvor Reddit) doch eher “old school” Emotes:
:) ;) ^^ ^^’ >.< ¯_(ツ)_/¯ :p etc.
Oh wow, that's unexpected but I am now really exited!
My SO and me have been playing it quite a bit on our own, he more than me. Looking forward to play it together on the sofa :3
Some fights are just not worth the hassle tho, you got to pick your battles.
And it’s not like there is anyone factually “right” or “wrong”, it’s mostly a matter of opinions/priorities.
Another example, different expectations w.r.t. to cleaning. Either try to convince the other person to clean more, even if they don’t see the need, or be always the one cleaning and build up frustration. Or: Get a roomba.
