  • What's an aspect of life that's currently done privately that you think should be communalized?

    Jump

  • Yeah laundromats are annoying. I was rather thinking to have some space in the apartment building to share with neighbors.

    It sucks to have drying racks taking up all my living space.

  • Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.

    Jump

  • I haven't seen such warnings for years anymore

  • Laundry. Why do each of us need to have a machine and space to leave clothes to dry when we could have a common space for that?

  • KDE Neon has been rebased on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS! Find out more about the changes and upgrades:

    Jump

  • Just got the upgrade today. It failed somewhere halfway, made a mess and destroyed grub with no way to restore it.

  • What do you hate about commercials?

    Jump

  • It's so wasteful. It costs paper, electricity, bandwidth, and mostly, my time. I don't have money. If you advertise something that costs money, I'm not interested.

    I heard one I thought was ridiculous. You can pay a company because you spend so much you don't even know where your money is going, because don't we all have so many subscriptions nowadays?

    I have a no spam sticker on my mailbox but brokers don't care. No, I don't want to sell my home so you can drive up the rent. If I'd own the place, I could do that myself.

    I already go to the supermarket every day. Why do they need to shout at me telling me what they're selling? Stop wasting money and make stuff cheaper instead

  • WiFi4EU — initiative to provide free Wi-Fi in public spaces across EU

    Jump

  • I use a prepaid sim so I'd rather not use data when I don't have to. Subscription is too expensive imo (half the price of home internet) and when do you really need internet outside the home anyway

  • I'll just mention QMMP which is basically a Winamp clone. Works great and I've used it for many years now.

  • What are your favorite shows and why?

    Jump

  • More recent ones that are really good:

    Barry, a show about a murderer that turns out to be really funny.

    Snowfall, about drug dealers making it to kingpins. A similar show, Queen of the South is also good.

    And some classics that are funny and clever enough to rewatch:

    Keeping up Appearances, I think we all know some of these characters in real life

    Flight of the Conchords

  • Plasma freezes during high disk activity (solved)

    Jump

  • Happened to me as well, freezing up the whole system, especially with many/large files. None of the suggestions I found online actually worked. Happened on USB drives as well.

    Then my whole HD gave up completely. Replaced it and all problems are gone. USB drives as well: turns out Linux at least tries to read it so you can attempt to save some data, while Windows just says it's unreadable.

  • I tried it on a new Lenovo (AMD). The cursor size changed its size from normal to microscopic, depending on the application you hover over. Went back to X, no issues there.

    Still can't run Wayland on my system (Nvidia) at all.

  • It's good when the price of a cup of coffee increases - cuz it helps foss coders whose donation msg is 'Buy me a cup of coffee' 🙃️

    Jump

  • Of course, but how often would you go to a coffee place? If you work in an office, coffee is usually free anyways.

    Jump

  • As a poor European:

    Coders saying "but me a cup of coffee" for $8.

    I buy a pack of coffee of 250g for ≈ $3. An average cup, according to Google, is 7.5g.

    That's $0.40 for a cup.

    (Or about 9 beers)

  • Don't believe what you read. Fmovies is absolutely fine.

  • Nice. Are they official or just a copy? My old login no longer works.

  • Living under Christianity means living in constant fear of being watched and judged and living in a world full of supernatural forces. It was a great relief when I realized it's all bullshit.

  • Reading habits in Europe

    Jump

  • "Less than 5 books" includes 0 books? Otherwise those stats are hard to believe.

    No thanks. I'm good.

    Jump

  • Yes, it tastes a bit earthy to me.

    No thanks. I'm good.

    Jump

  • I got a tour of the place where they proudly show these cats in the most horrible conditions. Also, it doesn't even taste good.

  • Why do radio stations all seem to go on commercial at the same time?

    Jump

  • I remember always switching to another channel when ads came up, but later that became impossible because they all started ads at the same time. So it seems to be on purpose to prevent people from switching channels. This was in the Netherlands, though I haven't listened to radio anymore since Napster came out.
