What’s the relation with NordVPN ? Are other VPN providers I.e mullivad better ?

Why ? Asking seriously because they got multiple certifications about their no-logs policy done by independent third parties.

Why is NordVPN not mentioned ? I’m using it and happy so far. Should I switch to something else ?

I don’t get the argument. It’s not like you are forced to buy iPhones, there a plenty of brands available. According to recent data iOS is 30% of the market while android is almost 70% (in Europe). I used android phones for most of my life. I tried to install alternative OS few time but my banking apps all refused to execute. There were always plenty of apps that were forbidden to remove (Facebook, Samsung applications,…). Then 4 years ago I bought an iPhone. No preinstalled shitty news app, Facebook, etc. Was even able to uninstall the default apps that I do not use. I feel to have much more freedom than before. Apple is not perfect by any means but it’s far from being a prison.

It has a proper rich text WYSIWYG editor. It does not demand you learn FUCKING MARKDOWN. JESUS H CHRIST I DO NOT WANT TO LEARN A FUCKING SYNTAX TO MAKE NOTES, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

I’m curious about this agressive stance. Why is markdown so triggering for you ? I get the pros of WYSIWYG but it has also some cons. On Lemmy for instance you use markdown without even noticing ?

I use Obsidian and I’m happy with it. The markdown syntax is really easy and it’s « almost » WYSIWYG because you see the markdown only at your cursor. It even has a plugin for excalidraw.

"I’ll admit to you, I bleed Republican. (...) Her farm had been awarded a grant worth $400,000 through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (...) Carlson was planning to use her USDA grant money to hire 10 temporary workers from Guatemala to help with this year’s harvest."

The sheer amount of stupidity is crazy. The same people that were crying that everything bad was the fault of Biden actually had they farm working thanks to Biden.

Will they realize at some point ?

What did it teach you ? I.e you’re walking in our post apocalyptic world and there are two people a few hundred meters ahead of you. They look like unarmed civilians. What will you do according to DayZ experience ? I’m a bit afraid of the answer ;)

Same. Born in Belgium and I had to pay less than 1000 € for a full academic year at the University. The quality of education is good. I got a decent job, correctly paid. I did not had any debt when I started my career. What more did you get in the USA ? I would be depressed as hell to be in the shoes of that guy who claimed above that he paid only the interests of his student debt, after ten years of reimbursement.

For my kid it’s too late, I allowed her to play without documenting myself enough. Luckily it offers good parental controls, and I take that as an opportunity to educate her about what’s going on.

They will never. Even for Christmas I was asked to offer Roblox gift cards. They were fully used in less than ten minutes for buying skins…

Powerwash simulator players will love this!

 

I don't think I'll beat that amount of dedication in a game ever again. I was a young teenager when I started playing this game which had eaten all my social life... Guess it is part of me.

Last week I felt some nostalgia and reinstalled the game after ~18 years without touching it. It's crazy that my character is still there on some server (even if no subscription was paid for all those years), more or less in the state I left it the last time I logged-out years ago. The guild has been erased, but the friend list is still there as a reminder of those past friendships, none of them logged-in of course...

Fun fact, my parents refused to pay for the game at that time, so I started playing on the account of a friend, from which I later bought the game second-hand. The login still contains his name, and I think that's the oldest login/password I have a trace for.
