I find it very confusing when german words are used to mean something different that their english counterparts.

So in english: free ≠ gratis ≠ libre fear ≠ Angst car ≈ Auto (i heard it used for a car with a automatic transmission and also a few years ago as a term for a selfdriving car)

But also the other way around In Swiss-German: Bus ≠ Car (First one being a trolleybus in a city, second one a bus that takes a schoolclass on a trip.)

I am aware that words like “gratis” or “auto” are not exclusive to german, I guess that gave me the downvotes.

As a german speaking person: Shut up and stop using german translations of words as if it has a different meaning. It gives me Angst.

(Edit: explanation down in the comments, I am aware that “gratis” isn’t exclusively german)

Our national broadcaster covers it quite nicely, I already paid for it with my taxes, might as well use this instead of a sketchy site or something thats a hassle to set up

But almost every national (public and free) television channels will have at least most of the olympic disciplines, no? So cant you just try your national tv stations?

I mean statistically .ru sites are more often malicious than .com sites.

Ok maybe not, couldnt find any evidence, altho I heard that years ago. So that might have changed, maybe because of all those new non-country-domains.

Seeding is a review process in itself

They pulled DMs of two users of the same instance?! Quite concerning tbh

Yea, vote green and if you only have no green party then you probably need to reform your election system… But first, inform yourself about the basics on election systems https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqs5ohhass_RN57KWlJKLOc5xdD9_ktRg&si=qW8Imga8bgD1dV4D

My partner is pretty much a non gamer, for her it was perfect.

Yep, a truly great game, deserves every award it got

I can do that!

To a degree at least, just got gratually better over the last few years without deliberate stretching or severing anything. Altho I mostly use it to get slime out of my throat instead of caughing. Now just tried it to get up to my nose, nothing there at the moment.

I guess I am almost at the “third stage” distance wise.

It helps to exhale quickly to get the meatflap out ontop of the thongue. (Second picture)

I’ve did research if one could choke on their own thongue several times, because I was worried that it would “fall down there” or get stuck or sth, like a dislocated jaw or a scrotum torsion or sth.

If everyone could plug in at home it wouldn’t need that many.

To be on the road and then plug in is inconvenient no matter how many stations there are, plugging in over night or during lunch, thats the way

To be honest, for a fair review I would have to define the “setup” better. For Linux Mint I had to prepare a USB to flash it and mess in the BIOS while all my Win machines came with it installed. But we dont count that I assume. Besides that the initial setup was easier/faster on LM. But then for the most people finding and installing further programms is easier on a Win machine is easier, because many things are already installed. Some things might be bloat for some people but for tech-illiterate people having they might be useful: They already have a mail client (or even two…), the whole office suit (just one login away), hardware that is compatible for sure (even the fingerprint scanner and camera for face-login), and so on. Me personally am bothered by bloat, long startup times, bloat, telemertry and so on like many tech-guys. But then I think to my grandma who opens her old Win10 laptop, then goes to set up her iron-board (for clothes, idk how thats called) because she is used to having old machines. Then she looks at the desktop and clicks the icon with the word “Mail” in it, because all she needs know is that whe wants to check her emails.

So if I set up my old laptop for her, its easier and faster to setup a fresh windows, arrange the already installed icons on the desktop and do the logins for her. With Linux Mint I would have to bother with finding a compatible mailclient. Altho its not really that big of a deal, I admit.

So my conclusion is, maybe 2025 is the year of Linux, when there is a very noob-friendly OS which has at least some “bloat” already installed.

Imo its the other way around. If you experience art, you think about it and try to get a meaning out of it (even if there is none, as in some modern art pieces). But if you just play a game you are not getting the art-aspect of it, you just enjoy it for the gameplay or maybe even the story but not for the deeper meaning.

Thats the thing, setting up a windows pc is really easy for the average user Hear me out: They dont have all the expectations and knowledge about different OSses that we have so they just navigate their current system to get to where they need to be or else ask a PC-literate person. No PC-illiterate person was bithered by cortana in the setup process or the games or weather in the startmenu.

Sounds great
