Does your gutter contain 90°C hot water?

Pineapple-Chicken-Cheese (Gouda) makes an awesome sandwich. With Pizza I am an minimalist and almost only eat Margherita.

Nah, it is just Germans (and most of the rest of Europe, I guess).

Better learn how to drive a manual if you ever plan free thinking over here.

Linux on old School Machines?

Hi all, the private school I work at has a tonne of old windows 7/8 era desktops in a student library. The place really needs upgrades but they never seem to prioritise replacing these machines. Ive installed Linux on some older laptops of mine and was wondering if you all think it would be worth throwing a light Linux distro on...

My son is using my 12 year old Asus 1215 netbook, that cost 300€ back then with Xubuntu to learn programming. Works fine. He can even run Minecraft on it. It glitches a lot though. It has an Intel Atom cpu…

We first tried Linux MX, but Xubuntu runs better.

Oh man, I completely forgot about this. And I liked it that way.

But may I raise the stakes with the Ulm Minster (the most terrifying church I’ve ever seen):

I once was in the restroom when my (then) boss (plus later doctor father) came to the toilet and farted as loudly as humanly possible. It was very satisfying. Happy that guy is not my boss anymore, he thought his scientific staff are his personal slaves.

The professor you write your PhD thesis at/with/for. Isn’t that a common word in English?

He is borderline senile and doesn’t live the healthiest lifestyle. He might damage the system beyond repair, but I doubt he’ll stay around for much more than one legislature.

Edit: Before getting angry and comment, do realize I wrote “he might damage the system beyond repair”…

What does that have to do with my comment?

The headlines says it all about how serious we have to take his words. The ICC didn’t even state “genocide” in the warrant request…

That doens’t mean it isn’t one. But the ICC was intelligent enough to only state war crimes we can witness without a doubt. Genocide would have the “intent” part that might complicate things at this stage.

Here is what the prosecutor stated as reasons for the arrest warrant request for Netanyahu:

  • Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the Statute;
  • Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health contrary to article 8(2)(a)(iii), or cruel treatment as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)©(i);
  • Wilful killing contrary to article 8(2)(a)(i), or Murder as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)©(i);
  • Intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population as a war crime contrary to articles 8(2)(b)(i), or 8(2)(e)(i);
  • Extermination and/or murder contrary to articles 7(1)(b) and 7(1)(a), including in the context of deaths caused by starvation, as a crime against humanity;
  • Persecution as a crime against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(h);
  • Other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(k).

icc-cpi.int/…/statement-icc-prosecutor-karim-aa-k…

But I think if the process will be allowed to continue despite US pressure “genocide” will be added to the list eventually.

This discussion is funny from a German pov, as our main local liberal party (the FDP) is pretty right wing and has been so since the 1940s. “Liberalism” always had a quite neative connotation to me therefore. They are also the party most open to working together with the far right (the AFD).

Liberalism can be right wing or left wing. It makes more sense to structure the political specrum like this. But even that is far from prefect.

Here in Germany all mainstream radio djs share the same folder with the same 50 songs they play all day long. I hate radio (except some information stations and some local non-commercial stations, so much bullshit, but occasionally pure gold).

menemen,
@menemen@lemmy.world avatar

We don’t get that here. And if I set up listening over the internet, I got better things than radio. :) Radio is more the “I am too lazy to care” fallback option for very short trips.

But thanks. Might still give it a try.

13 years. :)

If he’d just say “It is over, no more books.” people would just move on. But him constantly stating that he’ll publish “next year” for 10 years years or so now is really annoying.

menemen,
@menemen@lemmy.world avatar

It is pretty comparable tbh. It is also the same for Elders scroll fans. Before Skyrim and before A Dance with Dragons both published constantly and both started publishing on the mid 90s, both published 5 times, both started publishing side project stuff.

Elders Scroll fans have it somewhat better though, not depending on a single person, who also isn’t the youngest.

I am also an Elder Scroll fan since Arena btw, so I am quite f…d.

I am not a big Matrix fan, so maybe my knowledge about the films (I saw 1 and 2, both only once) might be too limited. But I completely fail to understand the symbology.

The Character Switch was originally supposed to be a man in the real world and a woman when plugged in to the matrix.

This would have been a clear symbol.

I’d tip the developers, but not the shareholders or execs who treat the developers like slaves…

The original ones. They are still popular among Gen X and Millenials. Personally, I never like the Beatles. I don’t hate them, but I find their music slightly annoying.

Yeah, I was about to suggest an e-bike or e-scooter. But probably better to just walk or take a bus/tram/metro.

Stuff changes. Here an example what is considered brutalism nowadays: thespaces.com/…/3/

TBF though, concrete walls are still pretty much a requirement.

Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. (lemmy.world)

Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can’t count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with...

Maybe I am old, but having no micro-payment bullshit is what made gaming better.

Yeah, but Arcades are Arcades. They were also not really a thing in Germany (because they are 18+ in Germany). I only ever used them on vacations.

No need to pirate. There is a shitload of games on the internetarchive: archive.org/details/internetarcade

Depends a lot on the games for me. I can spend a lot of time on old games, if they were mechanically well made. But if the controls are clunky (like e.g. in old adventure games) I am out.

I think everyone agrees that we leave early 3d games out of our nostalgia.

Whenever I read that joke I get sad. His pictures on the Wiki article from 1990 and from 2000 tells one everything.

Dnd beyond as it is now is still very usable without a subscription. But yeah, this will probably change with the next edition.

It is really annoying. Dnd beyond is such a great product, but it will very likely be ruined by the business model soon.
