Fair enough if it’s decaying in many ways! I had gotten the impression it would be just for the usb-c only. In my perfect world many electronic appliances would also be forced to be a minimum level of repairable and have replaceable batteries of course. Possibly only “professionally replaceable”, but not glued in and/or artificially made as little repairable as possible.

Logical things I think it could or should become the norm as well: electric razors, vaporisers, head-flashlights (like Petzl), many kinds of toys like RC cars and such, christmas lights, Halloween decorations etc etc.

It think in many cases it will usually be a lot more ecological to use devices you already own as long as you can and keep repairing them if possible. It’s nice to have usb-c, but throwing out a fine, still functioning toothbrush to replace it by a usb-c chargeable model just for that reason seems to me like the opposite of ecological.

I’m not proud of where I got it

Flex launcher looks cool, thanks. Might be more convenient and slicker than trying to put everything in steam and autostart steam…

How does that rhyme with increasingly many men also being obsessed by their looks and more and more having surgery done? Hair implants are on the edge of surgery and very common for men. So are nosejobs, eyelids correction, eyebrows raising etc.

While some hatrid is probably misogyny, I have the feeling the divide between people liking “corrective” surgery and those who don’t is more like the age old difference between “high culture” and “folk culture”.

My personal opinion: it’s usually ugly. Almost always do I find it ugly. Chances are I find a naturally aged person 40-65yo more beautiful than ones where it’s super obvious they had stuff done. Especially the trend of getting stuff done super obviously really makes my stomach twist. The natural looking older people to me often just emit a “i’m only human”, “i’m nice” vibe while the overedited body (including having supermany tattoos by the way) usually just screams insecurity, uncertainty, … at me.

And excluding things like corrective surgery after accident or making boobs smaller because of backaches: I find plastic surgery just for the thrill of it an enormous waste of healthcare resources, while many people can’t afford the most basic of health care.

Your first time on Lemmy?

179 €. With windows pre-installed that I’ll remove right away because it seemed cheaper than buying RAM and SSD separate currently.

Still have an old pi laying around, did OSMC+kodi on that for a few years, but now it’s just not powerful enough anymore for handling more recent compressed video

Exactly, but with the option to if needed of course

With which desktop environment?

Yeah seems super gaming oriented that’s why I doubted, but apparently there’s a Bazzite HTPC version, will probably start with trying that and see how well it fits the situation

You mean as server? I’m looking for os on TV box, server is already running dietpi with jellyfin and works rather well

Libreelec seems super Kodi focused and nothing else. While I’m very unsure if I would get the local TV streaming websites working in that

I think I’d rather avoid android. It will just bite me in the ass at some point because Google?

Heard about Bazzite but didn’t know there’s a Bazzite htpc version, that might be cool, thanks.

Libreelec seems too Kodi focused and I’m running jellyfin server. Nobara I never heard of before

Not German but moved to Germany. The word is still a normal word, it can be used, only in certain contexts not.

To me it is very very weird.

Especially in a comboword there is 0,0 issue: Reiseführer, Bergführer, etc. The no go zone seems very subtle to me, it’s more about pronunciation and context, not the word itself. Especially the word “Führerschein” is super weird to me when used in regular conversations. I automatically hear translated “license to be the Führer”, but it just means driver’s license and nothing else and no one finds it weird.

I’m just replying so I’ll find your comments back easily in a few days

It might be healthier for you to break contact with your family or at least make contact the bare minimum (Christmas, birthdays). That’s some fucked up parenting. You leave your teenager alone in their room when the door is locked. You can try to talk about stuff with teenagers, voice opinions about sexuality and all that, but sneakily opening that locked door is some seriously wrong shit.

People I know with most real estate are 2 kinds.

1. inherited everything.
2. stayed in hotel Mama for free for years while not studying, but working as plumber/contractors/mechanic etc starting age 18-19. By the time they moved out age 26-30 they were already loaded, renting out multiple apartments.

Both required parents, either they had to be wealthy and die early or decided to gift capital early; or to be super supportive, fun (tolerable) enough to keep living with after 18 and not asking you to pay rent.

Yes. But trump isn’t sending thousands of soldiers every week to die in the meat grinder… yet.

Main reason it can flourish as assistant in the first place is that Google search engine became shit
