  • Do you prefer Reddit or Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Honestly I'm engaging more on lemmy in comments but if you manage to create a nice list of fun subs to follow on reddit a lot of complaints about bots and stuff are less problematic. Then again I also follow some Dutch subs and they seem to have less bots with the language barrier and all.

    Lemmy does seem to be more negative though. A lot of doom and gloom here. I'm not really into Linux but I'll admit that windows and Microsoft ain't great. However the amount of complaining about how shit Microsoft is on stead of being enthusiastic about Linux baffles me. And you see these things in other communities too. The reddit helldivers community seems to be a bunch of memes and the lemmy oke a bunch of complaints.

    Then again my comments seem to actually reach people on Lemmy so I am more active here.

  • That comment is fucking wild to read as a European. I never before got a culture shock from a comment lol.

  • My dad found a OG gameboy in a train when I was a kid so when I actually played tetris lol. Close my eyes and see the bricks fall. (which is what the tetris effect is.)

    Then I had it with Mario Kart, close my eyes and see the track move.

    And the weirdest thing is when I finally got properly used to vr and played 3 hours of half-life: Alyx straight. I had to physically touch a wall to convince a part of my mind that this was real life, and not vr.

  • It's amazing so many people are able to use English as a second language.

    Jump

  • I'm also Dutch and honestly I think part of it is the amount of subtitled English tv I watched when I was young. I tried the same with German struggled finding things to watch.

    If you look at Germany or France they often dub over stuff while we subtitle everything.

  • Big Tech to EU: "Drop Dead"

    Jump

  • We know, the EU also told meta to behave. Meta then threatened to leave and everyone was like "ok, when?". Because we'll just switch to the next best thing. So meta behaved. Sort of, it's an ongoing thing.

  • How to get a clue where on the curve of Dunning-Kruger effect you are?

    Jump

  • So using the Dunning-Krueger effect to prove how smart you are is an example of the Dunning-Krueger effect?

  • Why is there no global language that at least nearly half the world speaks (3.5 billion, I'm talkin', including non-native speakers)

    Jump

  • Nowadays it's probably also because of the dominance of American culture, especially online.

  • How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

    Jump

  • A local church is about that old (or it's at least that old, the oldest record of it is from 1262). But there might just be a barn or a windmill that's much older and nobody knows because at that point it's actually medieval and record keeping wasn't great back then.

  • In your country, what "common" animals are tourists most excited to see?

    Jump

  • I'm Dutch and a zoo near me has racoons too. But then again they're an invasive species here so it's not as weird.

  • If you had a theme song, what videogame music would be it?

    Jump

  • What are your favorite social minority characters in any form of fictional entertainment media, or how should a minority be written better?

    Jump

  • Captain Holt in brooklyn 99. He's both black and gay but the most standout thing about him is how he is extremely precise and organised and how he shows very little emotion.

    He's portrayed by Andre Braugher who sadly enough past away last year.

  • Okay, but Mötley is a pretty awesome name.

  • Tyranids approve

  • Serious case of tennis judge neck.

  • Hey, I'm new to GitHub!

    Jump

  • Yeah a dude I know got hacked by downloading some random github program, the hacker even started taunting him via discord lol.

    But I downloaded plenty of shit from github, like prusaslicer, my 3d printer's firmware and plugins for octoprint. Always stuff that is verified via another page though. Almost never stuff that comes up during a random search, and if I do, I look it up first to see if it's safe.

  • What songs do you like that are in a language which you don't speak?

    Jump

  • I quite like stromae on occasion. And I'm a fan of rammstein, but while I don't speak German I do understand it reasonably well so I'm not sure that counts

  • Bryce?

  • Please drink a verification can.

  • User reports Google Maps proposed a sponsored detour to a trip

    Jump

  • Does waze have a fuel saving mode? It might be sending you down an exit because the route uses less fuel. I doubt waze and google maps has enough users to cause too much traffic. Surely most people drive familiar routes. I could be wrong.
