YouTube Shorts doesn’t even work properly for me. At least half the videos, that are suggested to me, I’ve already seen multiple times before. Boring, as you said. I’ve found myself staying off of social media or news sites more in the last couple of weeks. News’ll make me depressive, social media bores me. Then again, more time for hobbies!
When I was still smoking I had a pocket ashtray. Saw them in some random anime a couple of years back and then bought one.
I use the Enterprise SKU of Windows 11 and you can fortunately still use the Domain Join option with that. Comes without that advertisement crap as well. The only caveat is that you can’t really activate Enterprise legally without a subscription and KMS but there are ways to circumvent that issue ;)

That’s a lot worse than getting pulled over with no driver’s license.
I can’t remember Skyrim or Fallout 4 releasing in that bad of a state and I’ve owned those games since release. Fallout 76 on the other hand… Yikes. I might also be completely wrong as years of playing with unofficial community patches may have clouded my memories. CP2077 had way more issues than just bugs at launch. Witcher 3 was buggy as well, but at least somewhat feature complete. I can kinda forgive jank in games if the product itself is compelling to me and I’m just a sucker for Bethesda-style RPGs. Will still be waiting for Starfield’s launch on GamePass before I buy it, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 had awful writing and that’s nothing that a patch can fix.
And they built the Burj Khalifa!
Ich bin immer noch salzig, dass ich nach über 12 Jahren auf Lases zu Lassmich wechseln musste. Ich bin ein großer Verfechter von offener Soße und stehe grundsätzlich hinter meinen Prinzipien, aber gleichzeitig muss ich auch eingestehen, dass ich mich ein wenig nach den alten Zeiten auf Lases sehne. Es gibt halt leider - zumindest bis jetzt - bei Weitem nicht so viele Inhalte, wobei mir jedoch sehr gefällt, dass selbst in politischen Unterlassmichs (community/sublemmy/whatever) ein bisher sehr zivilisierter Ton herrscht und selbst (für mich) kontroverse Meinungen mit sachlichem Diskurs empfangen werden.
Japan was unwilling to surrender for a long time even though Japanese cities got bombed on a near daily basis near the end of the war. The US gambled on, for a lack of a better word, the wow-factor of the atomic bomb. They guessed correctly that Japan’s leaders would assume that there’s no way in hell the US could produce another one of these “special” bombs. They dropped the second one to basically say: “Hey, we got a huge stockpile of these things so we can do this as long as you like”. Or to put it simply: It was a show of force. When Nagasaki got hit Japanese leaders were in a council meeting about the Hiroshima bombing and the Soviet’s declaration of war on Japan and even after the news arrived in Tokyo half the cabinet was still insistent on their own terms of surrender. They didn’t know how many more bombs America had and that fear played a huge part in Hirohito’s decision to end the war after more than 14 hours of debate that day.
Yeah, beef jerky, even when making it yourself like @CloverSi@lemmy.comfysnug.space does, can be quite expensive depending on where you live. Thankfully beef jerky doesn’t require high-end cuts of beef. Round Eye is one of the preferred cuts and even in regions with relatively high prices for beef (e.g. Germany) it’s still quite economical compared to store-bought Jack Link’s.
Das war soweit ich mich erinnere ein ’arald. Mit Weizenbier kann ich allgemein nicht so viel anfangen, aber die Mischgetränke von denen sind als leicht herbe Limos für heiße Sommertage echt ganz geil.
Ich glaube das Rockabilly-Ehepaar bei mir die Straße runter kommt dem schon recht nahe. Die haben alle ihrer FÜNF (!) US-Importautos vollgekleistert mit “Fuck you Greta”, “Grüne? Nein, danke!”, diversen Anti-Impfaufklebern, Südstaatenflaggen und natürlich dem eisernen Kreuz.
Playing on original hardware has its charms but emulation is often a better experience anyway. I have an N64 sitting in the closet collecting dust because a) it’s a PAL console (sigh), b) the analog stick is shot and c) my TV doesn’t support SCART. I know I could get an NTSC console, buy replacement gears for the stick, buy a RetroTink to get HDMI support, etc. At some point it’s just too much of a hassle for nostalgia’s sake.
AMD GPU + KDE Plasma with Wayland finally gets me close enough to the smoothness of Windows, especially the per-display settings for fractional scaling and high refresh rate were sorely lacking on Linux. It’s not perfect yet (and neither is Windows’ implementation) but it improved the Linux desktop experience a ton!
