  Me and my siblings called our parents by their nicknames, which led to some confusion - my little sister told someone “I don’t have a mommy, i only have a <name>”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ecosia has Planted 250 MILLION Trees⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, even if a tree just dies after a while, there will still some biomass (and therefore carbon) get sequestered into the ground, therefore permanently removed from the atmosphere, which is more effective than our own carbon sequestering efforts by… infinity percent, iirc.

  I just want to add: claiming a dubious disability sounds like a mental health issue, or she really has that disability. In both cases, something is wrong with her. I’m on disability, and have real issues keeping my life in order, but if you just saw me on the street, you wouldn’t actually recognize something is wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sacrifices for the family⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This acronym was not selfchosen, it’s mainly used in work statistics by the state, and the reasons to fall into that group are very diverse. Mental Illness, physical illness, having to care for family members, bad economy, no available jobs that would pay the bills in rural areas and so on. The amount of people living this way out of their own choice is pretty limited. It’s the same faulty way to think about this like it is done about homeless people and illegal immigrants, and it only makes it harder for them to change their situation.

  I’ve been buying PC parts for my gaming hobby for the last 30 years now. I will not buy any part that is supplied by any of the big companies or the RAM cartel if it’s not an emergency replacement and i cannot source it on the second hand market, until they all get back to servicing the normal people at normal people prices. This insanity has to end at some point, and if not, they will never make a cent from me again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You know how some medications numbs your emotions... so what happens if you're on those medications and you receive news of a close family member dying, do you like... not have any emotions over it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personal experience: yes, the medication they put me on when i was suicidal and stayed at a psychiatric ward numbs you emotionally, which would also mean that the emotional response to awful news is very muted. I did not feel nothing, but it’s a bit like the effect of noise cancelling headphones, but for emotions.

  I was not happy about that at that time, but it made functioning and working in therapy a hell of a lot easier compared to the dumpster fire of emotions i had to deal with before that.

  And everyone reacts differently to bad news - damn, when my sister was in an car accident where she got pretty hurt, her first reaction was to laugh her ass off, and then hurling abuse at the medics during the whole ambulance ride.

  Sad that they don’t mail stuff, i’d need a few household items currently, and if they were star trek themed, well that would be awesome.

  That’s what i was thinking - the dense atmosphere might even allow for platforms which are permanently suspended in the air like an inverse submarine, offsetting a large amount of needed fuel for a space launch

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switching from openSUSE Tumbleweed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would recommend Nobara, which has a Nvidia-specific installation and comes from Glorious Eggroll (the GE in GE-Proton). Bazzite is also a fine choice. Both are based on Fedora.

  I wouldn’t choose Debian for gaming if you can help it - Debian chooses stability instead of gaming as focus, which is fine for servers, but not for your usecase.

  But to be honest, I don’t think openSuse is the reason for your issues - the probability is high that it’s an issue with Proton or the Nvidia drivers. Try posting logfiles!

  But at least they are building a tool to export the rooms into unity which will be available in a week - that is more than most live service games do

  This is also used as nail polish to make children stop chewing nails.

  I actually loved the taste of that stuff - it made it worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the laws aim for social media, so the 2 bit solution should be enough for most legislation. I would propose an “Birthday” field for legislations where an exact date is needed (which shouldn’t be, because it’s allowing every tracker to identify the DoB) and the “2 bits” for the rest. In my country the ages are 16 for drinking beer/voting and 18 for “mature"/hard liquors/tobacco.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your hallmark games? What games have shaped how you view games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I grew up with DOS games - Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, Defender of the Crown, Hanse, Strike Commander and Wing Commander, Aces of the Pacific, Flight Simulator 3, Stunts3D, Hot Rod - Those are the games that showed me what unlimited amount of worlds can be inside of a computer. System Shock 1 didn’t hook me (but the remake has), first time playing System Shock 2 and Thief blew my mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I am very anti-age-verification laws, because they tend to be pro-identification-laws. But adding a simple field signifying the age of the current user is probably as good as it gets, although i would have preferred a single-bit-solution (of age/not of age) or at max 2 bits (<14, <16, <18, of age). Using this to go after Systemd again is a) not gonna work, because it’s here to stay and b) i am very interested in how others will implement the legal requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨German man says american are savages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That was actually accounted for by the study.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨German man says american are savages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would take that with a grain of salt, since the study here says it only deals with death inside of the hospital (which is what is expected of a system encouraging the individual to flee the expensive place as soon as possible):

  Considering the markedly lower length of stay in U.S. hospitals, it seems likely that more deaths following AMI occur after hospital discharge in the U.S., compared to Germany. This assumption is supported by recent OECD publications, which also report U.S. 30-day AMI mortality based on linked data. This figure was at 9.3% in the year 2020, compared to 4.9% when based on unlinked data. For Germany, national 30-day AMI mortality figures based on linked data are not available to date. In other industrialized countries reporting both figures, the difference between mortality based on unlinked data and mortality based on linked data was not as pronounced as in the U.S.
