  • I used to use dragon when I got tired of typing sometimes, so now I gotta stop myself from saying all the punctuation in my sentences out loud.

    But maybe try that, a lot of dictation software recognises it.

  • I feel like having a csv (or any table) and searching that would have the same result, work offline, and be much less computationally intensive?

  • While what you said isn't untrue, .ml does Bill itself as a general purpose instance. Also, not all the replies are from accounts on .ml.

    In a more general sense, I always felt that only reading sources that alligned with one's political alignment narrowed one's perspective.

  • Zeit, Süddeutsche Zeitung, taz, dpa, Reuters, ap, BBC, Deutsche Welle, Deutschlandfunk. Some others, if they come up. Mostly via RSS.

  • Third party key market places are kinda iffy, and there have been numerous cases of the keys being offered on there having been bought with stolen credit cards, or otherwise generated in ways that aren't quite above board.

    I remember one interview with an indy dev in which they said they prefer people pirating, because chargebacks from stolen cards are actively costing them money.

    For people who feel they need the entertainment games provide, but can't afford current prices, I feel pirating games from conglomerates, and buying from smaller studios and indies is the most socially responsible way to do it, but I'm not your mum.

    Edit: Huh, looks like greenmangaming gets their keys directly from the publishers. Didn't know that was a thing. Guess I was a bit quick on the trigger there, should have checked first. Sorry about that.

  • I think the person might not have been qualified to make diagnoses at that point? With any MRT I've ever had taken, the people who actually took it told me they weren't allowed to comment on it in any way, and I had to wait for the doctor to take a look.

  • Finally someone who actually uses a Vostro. Always found that name unreasonably funny.

  • I set up my current desktop while reading Gaiman's The Sandman, so it's called Morpheus. Because I felt I needed to keep with the theme, my laptop is hades, my phone persephone, my server apollo, my router helios, the media centre PC is orpheus, the pi that boots and updates it outside of usage hours is eurydice, and the pi that runs home assistant is zeus (because it's responsible for light(n)ing.

    Oh, and the work profile on my phone is sisyphos.

  • Thank you so much.

  • I much prefer Multi-Monitor on vesa arms. Works better with the way I work, less hassle in games that don't like unusual aspect ratios.

  • Yes Your Grace looks interesting, I'd be happy to try that one.

  • It's supported by the Belgian Branch of my bank, but not the other national branches.

  • I mean, didn't he do that Carlson interview a few days ago? I wouldn't put it past Trump to pardon him, as long as he keeps on message and drums up some attention.

  • In German, they're Glühwürmchen ("glow worms").

  • It's mostly a she's-corrupt-and-shouldn't-hold-any-public-office thing.

  • That's bullshit, I'm good friends with several ex-partners. Might not work for some people, but definitely not a general rule.

  • The last time I ate McDonald's, I arrived in Pasewalk, a tiny town in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, on a much delayed train at 2 in the morning. They where the only place that was open, and I hadn't eaten since noon.

    That burger was kinda OK, but it might have been the circumstance. They stopped selling vegan burgers anyway, so whatever.

  • Any video surveillance not controlled by you and you only seems like a bad idea. iRobots products have had privacy problems for years, regardless of whether they're owned by Amazon or not (which they aren't, merger got cancelled). Alexa does cost them money, but I wouldn't use any non-FOSS non-self-hosted smart home system for privacy and security reasons.

  • Yeah, always preferred those to stadium shows. I live quite a distance away now, but still make a point of going to as many tiny shows as I can.

    Also, after looking it up, they're from a neighbouring town and came over for the show.

  • They're originally from my home town. Saw them play free concerts for tens of people before they blew up. Good old days.
