You are obviously not doing enough work with a full screen terminal being open… 😜

Compatibilty of Windows games in Linux have gone a long way, partly but also independently from Steam’s work on it.

In fact Linux nowadays supports more Windows games than Windows, as especially older games still work there but not on modern Windows anymore.

I will not pretend that there aren’t games with issues, but in the vast majority of cases that’s new games and for the simple reason that some publishers actively go out their way to prevent them from working on Linux (highlights being anti-cheat tech that Linux worked hard to make it compatible, yet with certain publishers intentionally not setting a simple flag needed to run, often with totally made-up “reasons” about Linux’ insecurity…).

I guess I’ll look for some guys on the street to invite them to trash my place and then sue my landlord for providing an defective door… 🤣

Actually lots of areas in Europe tested fluoride in water locally at some point. But they never found convincing evidence of this being preferably to getting fluoride the “classic way” (personalized in small doses already included in toothpaste).

Are USians not brushing their teeth? Or have they changed the toothpaste formulas to exclude fluoride, too, now?

Wouldn’t it be great if just one company per 10 articles about European companies “looking for alternatives” was actually ditching US services for European alternatives?

So you know that it’s ok…

No, but it will severely disrupt golabl trade and make everything more expensive so you don’t think about eggs anymore.

Sorry to tell you, but no one is ever on the wrong side of history.

It just gets written like that by the side that won later…

If someone can’t believe that the freshly appointed DOGE head is already on vacation, then they probably also can’t understand that DOGE doesn’t actually do real work or that they are just a front for an operation to disassemble US democratic institutions…

… sounds like a fun ride to work in the media but with no clue what’s going on.

The left one is more coke specific matching the plastic bottles. It’s also much more lightweight.

But the center one is basically used in very little variation but color and print for most glas bottles.

Is the middle one a straight up milk crate type quality?

😂 How would I know?

Milk usually comes in water-proofed carton boxes:

Jokes aside… probably yes. Although the last time I saw crates of milk was in school in the early 1990s. But I think all those crates are basically identical.

Do you have (imported) beer in such crates? Then you should be able to compare them yourself as beer is usually produced locally at the traditional brewery and then shipped globally, original bottles and crates often included.

Interesting…

I’m used to stuff like this:

That’s the bad German influence. First you start to complain about everything, then upgrade to protesting.

Jokes aside… how common are cans in the US still?

The thing still often seen in cans here are energy drinks. And those are fittingly often “non-standard sizes” (basically adapted from US sizes with less filling, for example 12 oz -> ⅓ L) that never existed when cans (¼ and ½ L being the normal sizes) where still more common.

Ohh, and cheap beer…

But I have honestly not touched a coca cola can for more than two decades.

I actually like what Steam did for Linux gaming in general, but in the end it is slowly becoming a crutch. Why should I spin up the Steam client (that is neither fast nor easy on resources, too) every time I want to play a non-steam game?

Again… it’s nice what Valve is doing in general and that most of the stuff is open source and thus can be back ported to Wine.

I however find it concerning that the number of people doing so seems to be constantly decreasing. And I don’t actually understand why the majority of gamers -people that are insanely obsessed with very small FPS or other perfomance increases sometimes- seems to be content with using Steam as the one-size-fits-all solution for games. Just simple Wine Staging can often match the performance for older games, for all games once you start backporting some patches and fixes developed for Proton. And yet the contributors seem to get less by the day and a lot of projects pre-compiling patched Wine versions are vanishing for a lack of interest.

In short: I don’t get that voluntary lock-in to Steam for very little convenience of having a fancy interface for starting your games.

TIL: Aluminium bottles are a thing.

Up until now I only knew thick reusable plastic, thin recycleable plastic and reusable glas as the usual materials for bottles.

Edit: Oh, wait… I’m stupid. I simply forgot that cans exist as I haven’t drunken cola from a can in decades.

NIMBYs claiming in bad faith

[…]

I propose that we flip the argument

And there’s your mistake. You understand that NIMBYs are not arguing in good faith, yet still ponder how to make a better argument.

draw attention and focus away from the real problems

…and the additional ones intentionally created just so a few morons can get even more power.

But at that point pihole is just a fancy web interface with some nice looking but for most purposes useless graphs. I just let Unbound filter stuff with the same filter lists pihole would use.
