My usual place is 250m from my home, or around 3 minutes walking. There’s like another 5 supermarkets, 5 bakeries, 4 greengrocers and 3 butchers about 500 meters away (off the top of my head, there could be more).

It depends. Do you want to play witch 2 exclusives and don’t have a pc? Then switch 2, you don’t have an option there.

Do you want to play 3rd party games or nintendo preswitch (and actually some switch games too)? Deck, the games will be cheaper, you can buy bundles, you won’t have to pay for online, you can install from steam, gog, epic, etc. It’s a pc.

As you already have a switch, I’d wait on the 2 if you don’t need to play MK World right now. If you wish you could play PC and older console games on the go get a deck (I did and it’s great) but if you don’t care much about the PC backlog you can just wait until the 2 has some more exclusives our and/or you cand find it cheaper. I’m currently revisiting some PS2 games alongside newer indie titles and it’s very cool.

It’s bad

Yeah but it’s not like this is the best literature has to offer, nobody would really lose anything by just not reading a very mid saga.

Did the rest of your books, local library and internet connection burn in a freak accident? Why couldn’t you just read anything else, which would also likely be better?

I mean, the left has communities, but as soon a s they begin organising .worlders call them tankies.

Eh, I don’t know. I’ve worked developing software for the administration and their computer use is just the applications (web or native) they had built to perform their tasks. The OS is very irrelevant to them, some orgs even had shortcuts to these native programs put in their intranet, back in the days of java applets.

Can’t you just make them turn off the computers/phones and do it by hand?

I believe they meant that China will become the dominant power after the US finishes torpedoing itself.

Everyone should get out now because Plex has started to ruin things and you should seek alternatives now, while you have time, and not wait until they finish shitting the bed.

And no, jellyfin won’t do anything like this because they don’t have control over how you use it and don’t force their cloud on you.

Lol not a chance. Maybe there’s been some work in the public sector, but remove Amazon and MS and you’ll remove the vast majority of companies.

The EU should push for their own cloud and “encourage” (ie “there’s a chance that in 5 years you won’t be able to use anything that’s not in the EU, better prepare”) companies and the public administration to migrate.

That’s why they want Greenland.

Most of these are not really a problem though, even less for the kind of psychos that run the EU. Sanctions can be lifted, and Ukraine shouldn’t be able to do much against both Russia and the EU. While renewables and nuclear are increasing, Russian energy could help until they are 100% ready. Voters won’t do much if they are told “see, the US is trying to scam us, and in these trying times we’ve struck a deal with Russia and you’ll be paying less for power and heat”.

The problem with striking a deal with Russia is that it’s not the most reliable partner right now (your 3rd point), but the people in charge can ignore the rest and have no problems sleeping.

Edit: this is not a defense of Russia but a critique of the powers that be in the EU.

Nah, his shittiness goes way back. We shouldn’t accept anything less than seppuku.

I think this is the first time our society has been subject to a state-backed propaganda campaign since the widespread adoption of the internet

We’ve been propagandized for decades, what are you talking about? Both from our different governments and from foreign ones.

But you have to use their app, right? You can’t just use thunderbird or whatever

I got my own domain. It’s still a ton of work because you have to switch everything, but once you’ve done this you will be independent: if you dislike your current provider you can make a copy, switch providers and every account keeps working.

Now my old Gmail accounts redirect everything to my new email and this way I can switch whatever I forgot.

Doesn’t most of the world already work like this? I have to identify myself to vote in my country, it’s the obvious way to prevent people from voting more than one time.

Op cant because he’s using 2 different filesystems
