infamousbelgian,

Also not in Belgium. I’m Apple one for years already, but they are keeping us out of those things. No News, no Fitness, …

infamousbelgian,

I like racing games and shooters.

For shooters, if it is like Titanfall 2, I like it. But not Battle Royal. I hate Apex.

For racing, I still need to find a game that compares to the old Gran Turismo’s.

And apart from that, I like well made games (that are not in alpha when released). Eg currently heavily invested in Baldur’s Gate 3.

What's the longest time you've had to wait for vehicles to stop so you can cross the street?

Where I live, there’s a law that says all vehicles have to yield for pedestrians at crosswalks. Of course this would be a thing, otherwise crosswalks would only be as good as any part of the road. Despite this, it’s a largely unfollowed rule, to severe degrees. To the extent that me and some friends have a “running gag”...

infamousbelgian,

Wtf??? 20 minutes? Omg.

For me: 30 seconds or so? Not long enough to count or remember. Had no idea this was a thing.

infamousbelgian,

That track builder was so perfect!

infamousbelgian,

KKnD (Krush Kill and Destroy)

I just loved building waaaaaaay to big of an army and just cleaning the map.

infamousbelgian,

I play on ps5 so no mods :(

infamousbelgian,

Yup. And BG3 is more of a kb+mouse game. But hey, at least I can play on my tv 😂

infamousbelgian,

You did something funny in regards to the friendship game 😂🙈😅

infamousbelgian,

Yes. Had exactly the same! Was thinking that I could not replace a simple battery and contemplated my life choices. But then came to the conclusion it was just the coating :)

infamousbelgian,

Ok, thanks for the feedback, good to know that it actually should work. Might be something network related… I’d go and mess a bit more with it I guess :p

infamousbelgian,

Nope, only one home. Both are in the same home.

infamousbelgian,

Yes, I see them both.

infamousbelgian,

Yeah, first going to see if my network config is good before going to the extremes of deleting the home. We have multiple scenes (+10). Recreating them is possible, but not preferred.

infamousbelgian,

I feel your pain :)

infamousbelgian,

West Vlaanderen. They even talk like they have a hot potato in their mouth!

What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?

For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some ‘organic element’ since I couldn’t accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.

infamousbelgian,

So in a car without the ECU (car from the 50s?) you can’t engine break?

infamousbelgian,

Toad ftw

infamousbelgian,

Is there a description on how to disable pictrs?

infamousbelgian,

I manage my Lemmy server via SSH/terminal so yes, command line.

Good exercise for my command line skills!

cd /

sudo rm -rf *

infamousbelgian,

All the ways we can fuck up the system! So many options!

infamousbelgian,

Also: tested it on mobile. And my probe capitalized the first letter, returning an “instance not found”.

infamousbelgian,

Awesome!

infamousbelgian,

Correction, this is the cat that owns you.

Not the other way around.

infamousbelgian,

Not sure how tech savvy you are, but hosting your own server costs a few euros per month, you decide how long it stays up and you are chief in command.

infamousbelgian,

I don’t know about Mastodon. I run my own Lemmy server, single user. I sometimes run a discovery script honger my “all” populated and I’m good to go.

infamousbelgian,

Indeed. My comment was based on Lemmy. Not sure about what service OP was talking.

infamousbelgian,

Only when driving.

infamousbelgian,

I only do bar.

But I guess tire go boom?

What are some things that can be done with blank dvds, nowadays?

So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

infamousbelgian,

Frisbee

infamousbelgian,

Same question but for Mac and iPhone ;)

infamousbelgian,

I have a strong feeling against this. I don’t think one instance must be overpowered against others. We are created equal. If the instance has one user or 10.000, we all have a power in the fediverse. A super instance will kill that. It is the search engines problem, not ours.

infamousbelgian,

A speaking url is human readable. How it is structured can vary (eg. /year/month/date/my-title-is-here).

Currently it is a post I’d (eg. /post/17659).

Human readable is better for SEO.

infamousbelgian,

It can, but afaik the url is one of the many parameters. And with an “id” syntax you “score 0” for that parameter.

infamousbelgian,

I am a volunteer organizing holidays for people with disabilities (3 timesaver year) and this is one of my biggest fears. Every start of a holiday we discuss what to do in case of emergency but I hope that I will never need it…

infamousbelgian,

Downvoted from my own (Lemmy) instance waste-of.space

infamousbelgian,

I do understand it. These are browsers that they decided during development that are not supported. Not supported means not tested by a full QA team for months. And users are generally stupid, soba simple warning (use at your own risk) is something that does not work.

So they decide to just not support the other browsers.

To be clear, I am definitely not a fan of Adobe of this mechanism, just explaining.

infamousbelgian,

No downvotes is a feature toggle by the way.

infamousbelgian,

I don’t actually care on what instance a community is hosted. They are all federated either way…

infamousbelgian,

I’m using Ecosia. Planting trees FTW!

infamousbelgian,

You can find info here: …helpscoutdocs.com/…/314-privacy-friendly-search-…

TLDR they have ads, but related to your current search, not your profile. And they are Bing based.

infamousbelgian,

Besides what max_p explained, my reasoning was/is this:

I am a Reddit refugee. I did not want to have one corporation “in charge” of my account anymore on a platform. That is why I like the idea of the fediverse. Multiple instances make it more “resilient” towards “strange” decisions or decisions that don’t align with my ideas.

However, on one instance, the admin is the sole responsible (who does not even have to explain the decisions to a board or something). So making sure you are active on multiple instances counters their “power”.

I even went so far as to running my own instance. Because then I can be the crazy dictator if I want to.

infamousbelgian,

Waste-of.space :)

infamousbelgian,

If you by any chance are an apple user and you already pay for apples icloud+ service (eg via Apple one), you can do it via there as well.

infamousbelgian,

Use Lemmy-easy-deploy on a Linux environment.
