Also Brooklyn is named after Breukelen. Vancouver was named after Van Coevorden. Tasmania was named after Abel Tasman.

It’s almost as if the Netherlands used to be relevant in world exploration

Zeeland still exists, it’s between Zuid-Holland and Belgium

I thought I saw Zampella from Respawn saying stuff about it. All we need is for it to be Titanfall x Battlefield 3

Edit: It adds up to what one might call classic Battlefield, but bigger — big enough that it merits the efforts of four separate studios in DICE, Motive, Ripple Effect, and Criterion (Ridgeline Games was briefly part of its development before being shuttered after founder Marcus Lehto’s departure). EA CEO Andrew Wilson claims it’s one of the “most ambitious projects in [EA’s] history.”

I found the formula got a bit old after a while. The lyrics felt more profound in the beginning, but after a while it just felt like it was throwing synonyms for feeling bad in very similar tracks.

Meteora was also a decent album. I stopped listening after that. Hybrid Theory is something else though. Reanimation was also dope

She looks exactly like our Zola. Except ours is a bit of a diva and loves to be photographed.

Maybe this is this Yugoslavia I’ve been hearing about. I can never find it on the map.

Borderlands 2 is great! Should work with Proton.

The Dutch housing market is very difficult at the moment, so any place worth living is gonna be hard if you don’t bring a huge bag of cash. That said, the Netherlands is a great country to come to because most folks speak English very well and we don’t mind accomodating others.

But as someone who has lived in the Netherlands his entire life, I’d prefer a country like Portugal. Ethically, though, Iberian countries have a big problem with folks from western countries migrating and driving up prices in the more desirable areas. Lisbon is essentially becoming Amsterdam in the sense that you’ll hear more English than the native language.

This is the type of action where it matters what the dude looks like.

I think that really depends on the news site. News from my country is very well suited for RSS.

I think what you’re describing is the need for RSS feeds. Generally, news outlets categorise their articles neatly so you subscribe with RSS to only headlines, or world events, or whatever. It requires you to have a look around the news site in question and setup RSS correctly.

The other neat thing is that you can read all your RSS feeds (ie multiple news sites) in one reader and there are tons of custom RSS apps.

I share your disdain for gossip and mainstream money grab promo. And ads. My god how much do ads suck.

I think the point is that that GPU is not strong enough to use for 4K gaming. But Tom does not care. Or something.

Yeah by the time Win10 is deprecated I am hoping Linux is more suited towards my needs anyway. There’s little sense in going open source and staying with Windows. It’s well past its prime.

I’m not using ublock origin, Vivaldi has built-in ad blocking. If I were to switch, I’d switch to Ladybird

Yeah I’m holding out for that dude who built a new browser from the ground up and made it fully open source. It’s called Ladybird.

Me but Vivaldi and Adnauseam.io.

Ads are a dystopian nightmare but for some reason nobody seems to care

They haven’t fooled me yet. They’re actually fairly easy to spot.

I also read they started doing this in some American state and it raised 1.8 billion dollars. If this idea appeals to you, try to find out if there are any petitions in your country that suggest something like this. If you’re from the Netherlands, the SP has a petition like this.
