Let’s see if we can get a legal precedent that addictive = entertaining. That could have “interesting” ramifications. (For the record, I don’t agree at all that they’re the same thing)

I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s from a time when spoons were rarer and everyone had their own spoon. So, to discard your spoon meant you’re done with eating for good.

Finnish ones (some sayings here too):

• “Ski into a spruce!” -> Get lost!
• “So the forest answers as one calls into it” -> what comes around goes around
• “If you reach for the spruce you’ll fall into the juniper” -> don’t bite more than you can chew
• “to be like hit on the head with a piece of wood” -> to be baffled
• “it went into the forest” -> something failed
• “to have own cow in the ditch” -> to have their own hidden agenda behind a request or actions
• “to throw the spoon into the corner” -> to die

Been on PS+ for 7 years and canceled it immediately when I saw the price hike. Also, not going to buy consoles anymore since they’ve gone to shit.

Huh? The things people do for that wage will certainly rise in price due to inflation. Interest on bank accounts usually correlates with inflation, house prices go up with inflation (if you own one, it’s value usually does too)… It’s usually only stuff that wears out quickly and/or electronics (stuff that has steep inherent value deprecation) that do not grow in value due to inflation.

Well, there are programming languages that are not based on English (like BQN) In reality though the vast majority of the documentation, books, online discussions etc. are in English so I’d say it is at least hugely beneficial to know English.

And if you don’t pay, the Repo Men will come after you…

Take some time every now and then to consider why you’re doing the things you’re doing. You may do them out of fear, shame, perceived obligation, to avoid doing something else, because your parents want you to, etc. Or you may do them because they genuinely bring you job, help you in some way or make the world a better place… Anyway, we people are weird creatures. We get stuck in situations, relationships, obligations, bad habits, destructive patterns without realizing what’s happening. Try to stay aware, honest to yourself (and others) and keep learning :)

You should be able to do that, you’d just need to set up and maintain the Nextcloud instance yourself :)

I use Hetzner’s Storage Share (which is a nextcloud instance) as my drive and pay around 5€ / mo for 1 TB. Depending on the features you want you could also use their Storage Box which is more like a plain network drive, and cheaper… like 13€ / mo for 5 TB.

Yup, they never figured me out either… Ads are annoying and stupid and thinking about how much resources are poured into them and how much everyone’s time is wasted makes me angry.

Yup, I’ve started avoiding gaming forums, mostly stopped following news/rumors and hype trains and I’ve become “patient gamer”. As a result, I pay much less for games and enjoy more the ones I get.

I wanted physical books out of something that was only available as PDFs. So instead of going the sensible route I bought a color laser printer, learnt how to bind books, bought tools and materials, made a simple book binding press and made my own books.

I don’t need that powerful hardware… it’s the software side that’s mostly lacking for me (as a software developer :)

Choir … how would you spell it? Quier?

Umm, what makes you think that if they did exist they wouldn’t also be explainable by science? Also, if you dig really deep into anything you’ll find all kinds of fascinating stuff even if it’s not supernatural.

Carry ice picks (more like ice awls) with you when you travel on ice. If you fall through ice turn back to the direction you came from and start breaking the ice with your elbows (no use trying to get up as long as the ice is so brittle you can easily break it), then drag yourself up and start rolling away from the hole and trace your steps back. Also, try to get rid of the wet clothes as soon as you can.

How to dress for -30C weather. How to get out if you fall through ice into water.

Sorry but your examples of the problems are pretty minor and solvable by other means (you can’t do much with my credit card details because they require strong authentication which uses one-time passwords). Also, you conveniently leave out all the problems with cryptocurrency. It’s not like you’re protected in any way. We also do not have any adopted implementation of cryptocurrency that’s not slow and super wasteful of resources. So far they’ve also had the ponzi-scheme problem… first adopters can become very rich but late-comers get crumbs or lose everything.

I use Youtube-shorts block -add-on. It rewrites the url for shorts and shows them as normal videos (because they are). IDK why they had to make a new purposefully shitty player for them.
