“They say that existing EU consumer law “already provides for important safeguards protecting the economic interests of consumers”, and note that video game publishers have to inform about “the duration and the conditions for terminating the contract before the consumers signs up for the video game”.”

Well that would be cool, but anything about the duration and conditions for terminating the contract i’ve ever read on boxes or terms of service is: " We can do whatever we like, whenever we like, just so we’re clear’ (im slightly paraphrasing). So it sound to me like the EC says: " Well these sellers said fuck you up front so they’re immune to any responsibility". Cool, cool. I saw a digital fairness act, but maybe we can hang something up in the mandated warranty tree? So if a game shuts down in 6 months barring you from playing, you would be entitled to some form of restitution instead of hoping the dev has morals.

Still doesn’t solve that corpo’s have their fingers over the killbuttons on our cultural heritage existence, so, you know, there’s a lot of work to do still.

A ‘Woonerf’ is also a Dutch invention and used whenever possible to build new houses. That helps a lot to give younger kids safe autonomy, traffic is sparse and slow in a woonerf. My childhood shares a lot of similarities with yours, pedaling around the nearby neighborhoods looking for fun. It seems that would be a lot harder in a (more) car centric country

I love hiking nowadays but the avondvierdaagse felt like a mandatory thing when I was young. Maybe missing out on it was an even bigger motivator than participation itself back then.

Just googled to see if I was misremembering because I definitely browsed the regular web on my Nokia N73. It also came out in 2006, and back in the day it was not called a smartphone.

I would say your statement is factually incorrect.

This is just low population problems, with ten times the pop, we would have different challenges. I agree with you mostly, but even still memes here are just better. Whenever I take a dangerous peek back at reddit is like they opened the 9gag gates, wtf.

I’m so sorry, that’s uncle Ben, he keeps yelling he is ‘gardenmaxxing’.

When they closed down the API for third party apps I packed my things, I thought reddit would be different, but to me, at that moment they proved they were not different.

Lemmy is not perfect and the whole dev team has some pretty insane views. But you know, it’s FOSS, so it’s not about the devs as much. Perfect is the enemy of great, and Lemmy is a healthier choice then Reddit imo.

Apparently al these systems use about the same radio spectrum, so you could jam them all with similar signals.

Is that a fricking Nokia N73?

Why is the screen black after the login screen for multiple minutes, after which it continues to function as expected and shows the DE like everything is fine??

Keep blocking noisemakers untill it’s bearable. Sublemmy and users alike.

I love it. the tree in your front yard looks like a beaut!

On Fedora live update is turned of by default with a warning saying updating without rebooting is not recommended. As a cautious noob, I left it as is. Too cautious?

They hung some clothes on the closet the wrong way when I was around 5-6 and that ‘man-shape’ gave me terrible nights 2-3 years after. If the clothes were hung elsewhere after I was scared by it, I would just hallucinate a shape still there. Frick. Then my mom taught me i could have fun with my fears in my fantasy and that helped a lot. Scary silhouette man can’t be that scary if we also eat sausages at the campfire together while reading comics.

"… systems failed completely in temperatures below -10°C. Tesla CEO Elon Musk originally promised a simple software update to recalibrate a valve. Unfortunately, service technicians acknowledged a physical hardware fault: ice buildup jams the internal flaps, trapping refrigerant and stopping the compressor… "

Europe includes Ukraine, and they are already allies, just without a mutual defense agreement.

Maybe drone zone on Soma.FM fits your requirements.

That looks very juicy and flavorful. Having said that, reading ‘clams from a can’ gives me a physical reaction, and not in a good way 😄 , so im just gonna pretend those are pieces of cured ham instead.

Now that’s a picture… What the heck!?
