Usually, 2-3 double/folded sheets (so 4-6 in total). Possibly more at messier times.

Have it since 2018, currently play about 5 hrs a week.
It’s fun exercise!

There is a difference between “not putting the work in to make it run on Linux” vs. “actively preventing it to run on Linux”

Netflix DRM is an example of the latter, just like Epic disabling their Linux-support in EAC for Fortnite.

My Amiga 500 is from 1987.
But I think the stereo & LP player in the living room is from the early 70s.

I generally suck at playing shooters with controllers but I was looking forward to try the Gyro controls for Fortnite.

You can as a workaround play Fortnite on the Deck via XBox Live in a browser. But there you don’t have Gyro controls :(

There are many VRChat world like this, and some of them quite photorealistic

Used to be addicted to only coffee but an Ireland trip introduced me to the idea of tea with milk.
Now it’s coffee during working hours, Yorkshire tea with (vanilla soy) milk otherwise.

Why?
I am addicted to coffein and really like the taste of (milky) tea
I can also justify my addiction with the various health benefits from both coffee and tea (which even complement each other a bit).

I also have some green matcha tea occasionally, or a Matcha Latte, as I find the taste of matcha rather intriguing.

So, when someone asks if you are free the next two weekends, you assume they’re talking about the next Saturday (tail weekend) and the next Sunday (front weekend)?

Hmm, interesting.
I live in a place where hot water is either from a continuous flow heater, so basically no extra circulation; or from a small under-sink water heater where the water is kept at safe temperature and the distance to the tap is near zero.

But I guess in places with these big, central hot water storage thingies what the article says makes sense.

Entirely depends on where you live.
In Germany, generally tap water is food safe, whether cold or hot.

But I also hear in Britain it’s often a seperate tap, as the hot water used to come from a local storage cistern where it could be contaminated.

Sadly, Fortnite doesn’t run on Linux. EAC has Linux support in general but Epic doesn’t it for Fortnite…
Was one of the first things I tried on my Steamdeck after installing HeroicLauncher. Would have been nice with the gyro.

I’m glad that works for you!

In my house we have roller shutters and they make you see nothing.
I’ve been at places without proper shutters… tried sleep masks… and they don’t fully block light nor do they stay in place after even a single turn in bed. I ended up wrapping one of my black stockings around my head like a blind fold to actually sleep. >.<’

The amount of words that are not “stolen” from other languages is neglible…

It can be more confusing than you think at first, all the N/D/L stuff, some then also have 1/2/3, which “gear” to you start the car in, what to do when you come to a full stop (nothing, doh), …

The very first time I sat behind one was to drive a family friend home who drunk a bit too much, with his own car… I was a bit overwhelmed

Germany, mid 30s, all the cars I’ve owned were manual so I would say - yes :D

First time I drove a rental automatic I did an accidental hard stop at about every second crossroads as I intended to hit the clutch with my left foot and lacking one just hammered the breaks instead >.>

When driving combustion I prefer manual but I’ve recently driven some EV, I could get used to that feel :)

I’ve been told to leave them out in direct sunlight, haven’t tried yet tho.

Community (It is far easier to “other” someone that you rarely or never meet in person. Not so easy if they are showing you pictures of their kids every day. “Sally just got a new particle accelerator! Isn’t she so lovely! This is her sinking Manhattan!”)

That’s just super relative.
All my active friendships are 90% online and many of those people I very deeply care about. We meet every now and then, on vacations or for special occasions, and have a really amazing time. But we also have a really good time doing online activities together, keeping in touch more or less daily via messages and actively sharing our lives with each other.

On the other hand, othering is very much a thing that happens in person and feels a lot worse when it does happen in person. When every day you see 2-3 colleagues acting differently with you than amongs themselves or with others.
Working from home it is a lot easier to be selective with people you interact beyond the work stuff and avoid negative interactions, or interactions that drain your social batteries.

No, since I can’t sensibly use Reddit on my phone.
I misread - yes, I use Lemmy somewhat less now than I used to use Reddit. Which is probably a good thing^^

This is what makes me sometimes unsure whether I should offer monetary help if I don’t know the person intimately enough to judge this sufficiently.

Dunno if counts as a game really… But about 4k hrs of VRChat - love the place and the friends I made there!
