I have chosen the easy way and went from too many every day to no alcohol at all. It’s been around a year now and I am going to double that number.

Kudos to you, setting limits feels way harder than getting to zero as, to me, zero means not thinking about it at all.

If you managed to keep those rules for 3 years that’s a good job, it needs a lot of will to not use any downside of life to break the rule.

Yeah, but Xplane 12 does work natively and perfectly on Linux and MacOS. So there’s that.

But I guess if you start adding several joysticks (minimum of 3 for an aircraft, joystick or yoke, rudder, throttle quadrant) with assorted softwares it becomes a bit of a headache and most probably it won’t be 3 joysticks from the same vendor.

And today we have the Chinese winwings that makes full glareshield and mcdu at acceptable prices https://eu.winwingsim.com/view/goods-details.html?id=925 so that’s another software to configure.

And all of that is only for one aircraft type (Airbus in my example) 😅

I am so yes it’s probably why.

The iso from massgrave was made with Rufus that can disable the unnecessary requirements and force creation of a local account instead of windows live 🖕

Then activated and lightly debloated with powershell. That makes windows usable for what I need it to, just launching games.

Everything else is done on a minisforum Linux or framework Linux (even sometimes gaming on it when I’m not at home).

I am 99% Tumbleweed except my gaming PC which is still on Win11 (but I haven’t seen any bloat on it, no ads in winkey menu etc).

I am a huge flight simmer and, besides Xplane, MSFS has Microsoft in its name but the problem is more about the tons of tools around the simulator rather than the sim (aircraft, peripherals, maps&nav, ATC, job manager etc). MSFS do run on proton, but plenty of background tools don’t 😔

As many of you, front left is for phone.

Front right is for everything else I need, usually vape but it could be keys if I don’t wear a jacket.

Back pockets are always empty.

I ditched the wallet years ago, everything is on my phone and as long as I am not crossing a border that’s enough for daily life. The problem is that I am so used to not having a wallet that I forget it even when I’m supposed to go abroad and show an ID if asked. Oh well this is Europe, it’s like casino roulette, maybe I’ll get a border patrol, maybe not 🤷🏻‍♂️

Half of those are Norman Reedus in Death Stranding 2.

Getting home with a bag full of groceries for several days off, no plans others than enjoying loneliness and my gaming PC.

I even have a small dance and excitement sound for that.

Root beer also turned out to be a disappointment.

First time I went to the US at around 16 I found a vending machine with Root Beer. I thought that I found a way to rig the system and buy beer at 16 (like we do in Europe).

Well nope, root beer is not beer…

Boar and chicken like in Astérix. The way they can easily eat a chicken wing that have only a big bone in the middle always made me jealous.

As much as I want, we divorced.

I use this for KDE tilling https://github.com/anametologin/krohnkite

Edit: It is the active fork of krohnkite, the official repo is dead since 2022.

If I remember correctly it was for the structural organization. Creating channels and topics, marking them done and stuff like that.

A kind of open Slack, more designed for projects or companies organized comms rather than just chatting.

I use products from the “Cerave” brand (Loreal). It can be found almost everywhere in Europe, online or not and they have cheap prices with various stuff like moisturizing cream (with or without sunscreen), soaps in big bottle and other more specific creams.

If you just want to wash your self and moisturize it that’ll do the job without thinking too much about it, and they have a uk website.

This problem did not impact the 787, supposedly, but it does look there’s a lot of cracks on that wing paint.

Yep, I didn’t join as I am only there for the general shit talking and not participating in any constructive or useful conversations (it’s a way of life) but Camus, Snoopy, Anansi, THE meerkat and probably others are participating with you on the piefed zulip and codeberg.

The jlailu matrix is still open but inactive and left to slowly wither and die, every sidebars are now linked to the zulip server instead of matrix.

Dunno I am not administrating it so I didn’t checked. We got the sponsorship tiers as a lemmy/piefed instance is an open source project https://zulip.com/help/self-hosted-billing#free-community-plan

I believe Rimu (piefed dev) also got the sponsorship.

I plan on using it for personal business projects (self hosted or not, it is not defined yet) to organize comms and plans in topics. But it’s a small team of way less than 10 and if it grows bigger than that it will means we have du money to upgrade (it won’t be eligible for sponsorship tho).

We moved our instance Matrix to Zulip. It is much better now and makes peoples talk way more than on Matrix.

Stop posting world news (unless it’s specifically wholesome news).

From a reader perspective, filter out everything news related (or subscribe to everything you want to see and only browse by subscribed).

When you create a piefed account it asks if you want to filter the “Trump & Musk” keywords by default, that’s pretty cool.

Kaamelott by Akexandre Astier.

A funny take on the Arthurian legend and a jewel of France. There are 6 seasons and 3 films, only one of the films is out at the moment.

I don’t think it got outside of francophonie as it uses a lot of local slang and humor. But if you are learning the language and can understand that show I’d say you pretty much bilingual.
