kattenluik,

Why is that shameful or cowardice?

kattenluik,

This isn’t science fiction and this headline is also a complete and utter lie.

kattenluik,

Then why should we care that you had one?

kattenluik,

You know a weirdly large amount about something you can’t possibly know about or have sources for.

kattenluik,

These all genuinely sound like simple search engine searches to me?

kattenluik,

In a lot of European countries we are now introducing “turbo” roundabouts where you can’t even go all the way around once, and they work way better and amazingly.

kattenluik,

I’m currently visiting my SO in the US and the way roundabouts are used here is terrifying! I’ve seen people just cross straight over them and I have yet to see anyone but my SO use their turn signal on them, not to mention how long people wait to get on the roundabout defeating the point entirely.

The turbo roundabout was confusing the first or second time I was on one, but after that it made a lot of sense and was quite simple. A lot of them even have guiding arrows and signs beforehand telling you where to go, these roundabouts genuinely make it so you basically never have to stop and can just continue driving like there was never an intersection.

It’s genuinely awesome.

kattenluik,

They answered your question in their comment already?

kattenluik,

I wish it was more simple.

The official matrix.org server is completely stripped down and removes a lot of features, and Element as a client is nowhere near as good as anything else.

Element X (with the sliding sync support) does fix the massive issue of absolutely horrifically slow syncing.

None of Matrix comes anywhere near the levels of usability Discord has and nor does Element, Discord’s server-chat model is unbeatable in this aspect.

How did Lemmy World become the default instance?

World was already the biggest by far when I first started lurking back in July, and it’s just getting more dominant. Before, there was quite some diversity in the distribution of generic communities, but nowadays the vast majority of posts that reach the top are from over there....

kattenluik,

You’ve forgotten what left means and have zero clue how projects like Lemmy work, if you’re going to be angry at someone who didn’t really say anything to you at least do it with some self respect.

kattenluik,

Then don’t answer, it’s quite simple.

kattenluik,

You should try using paru, might be better off with it.

kattenluik,

Radio stations generally pay some organisation/company for the rights to play music.

kattenluik,

Here’s an example of the Dutch company that handles the music rights.

I’m guessing artists most definitely make more from streaming services, at least in the Netherlands.

kattenluik,

It’s upsetting there’s no ruling here or on any subs about having to specify country or units of measurement.

kattenluik,

For some movies it’s literally cheaper to buy a physical copy online and get it shipped to you, than buying a short license on a random platform.

kattenluik,

It’s incredibly easy to understand, people have different tastes and are able to not mind that it’s packed! They’re probably also unaware/don’t care that the restaurant is owned by bigots.

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

kattenluik,

Not even that, just a government that doesn’t care.

kattenluik,

I’m angry about the way this person cooked their own food that I don’t have to see or eat!

kattenluik,

Gouda is anything but bland

kattenluik,

That makes sense! I’m currently in the US and have only seen Gouda once and it tasted nothing like it, in the Netherlands there’s also many varieties of Gouda that all taste very different.

It’s very strange seeing Dutch products on the shelves here.

kattenluik,

Patatje oorlog, patatje joppie, spekkedikken and frikandelsaus. There’s a lot of things!

kattenluik,

I feel successful now

kattenluik,

I posted this originally and it got reposted, but I also have a bigger mess.

kattenluik,

They weren’t insulting or being rude to you in any way, just trying to see what was going on. Your original comment had some spelling mistakes, which they should’ve just pointed out.

kattenluik,

Did you at least buy a smaller truck with the same bed size? or a van?

kattenluik,

You’d be wrong, one eye would surely stick out!

kattenluik,

It really doesn’t, they can do whatever they want with their website.

kattenluik,

You can also just read it and see the post for what it is, instead of whatever you’re doing. It’s a funny joke around Rust.

kattenluik,

I swear every single time someone mentions language or doesn’t explicitly say where they’re from someone will fight you saying that you only know one language and one culture and you can’t possibly know anything else lol

kattenluik,

I’m more referring to where you say you obviously know more than just English, and someone tries to fight you about it. That only comes from bad intentions.

kattenluik,

I’m honestly not sure about how people would go about learning a language without getting so involved that you inevitably catch all of that, I’ve never thought about it.

kattenluik,

They’re quite obviously talking about the other guy where no country is specifically specified, and you’re just rude for no reason.

kattenluik,

In pretty much every country other than the US they do, these images are always very strange because they’re so focused on the US.

kattenluik,

Getting these people help makes sense from a capitalist perspective too, help them and they can work again and probably do a full life of that. It really isn’t anti-capitalist.

kattenluik,

Are you telling me they sold multiple millions of the Steam Deck???

FlorisBoard | FOSS keyboard that respects your privacy (florisboard.org)

I came across everyday topic on Techlore Discussions about free and open source keyboards for Android and discovered this little gem. It is FlorisBoard, a virtual keyboard for Android which respects privacy of the user. I can sigh with relief and finish my search for that singular keyboard for typing stuff on the go....

kattenluik,

I’m going to take a guess and say that it might be possible for it to still be, for example GBoard may share info with the other Google apps who then share it with the world.

Otherwise, if it’s completely blocked from the outside world? Definitely not.

kattenluik,

I’m sure there’s some way to monitor that using ADB or another tool, but at that point you’re wasting so so much time that you should just get an open source trusted app.

What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?

I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don’t recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn’t cut it, either....

kattenluik, (edited )

That’s not an alternative to Spotify in any way, and yet your comment gets to show up first.

kattenluik,

People always underestimate how awesome bidets are when they haven’t tried one.
