Exactly. I started reading The Fellowship of the Ring again, and it takes some getting used to that “queer” is used in a completely different way than nowadays.

I’m happy you mentioned the train station. It looks like many other stations I’ve been to and I was going mad trying to guess which one it was. Turns out I’ve not been to this one before
My grandparents ate boiled potatoes with boiled vegetables and watery meat. When I lived at my parents we often at the same. Thank god that we’ve adapted the cuisine from countries that actually discovered that food can have taste

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•"Valve’s new Steam Controller has a major problem for PC games not on Steam"
4·20 days agoFor the same reason I use PS3 and PS4 controllers to play PC games. I don’t even own a PS4. A controller should preferably be usable as a generic gamepad. Not that the PlayStation controllers necessarily are, on windows I always needed shady programs for that, but I’d expect better from Steam
How did you like it overall? Personally I was super hyped to shoot it, but the results of my roll were honestly kinda meh. The good photos felt like they would’ve been better in black and white. It kinda felt like black & red film.
Then you’ll never have to be bored, there’s always something more to learn
This, but with an extra step where I start preparing 5 minutes too late, can’t find shit, and then end up having to hurry so I arrive sweaty ans barely on time or too late
Kinda makes sense tho. Either they earn money on you from ads or they make money from you because of subscription. Or you’re like me and you still block the ads even though YouTube does everything it can to stop you.
I wouldn’t really mind watching some ads before a video, but I don’t wanna get constantly interrupted or have the ads track me everywhere. I tend to watch the in-video ads from creators tho, because most people I follow have relevant ads, funny ads, or ar the very least deserve some revenue.

Film Photography@lemmy.world•The Two Towers [Minolta XG9 | 28mm f/3.5 MD | Harman Phoenix 200]English
1·1 month agoSorry I missed this comment before. I used an app on my phone for this called Lightmeter, because my camera is quite unreliable sometimes. Phoenix doesn’t have a lot of dynamic range, and while it’s listed as iso 200, most people have reported better results shooting at 125 and developing normally. It’s an experimental film and struggles a lot with underexposure. I don’t think there would’ve been any exposure where I could’ve gotten the shadows and highlights properly exposed together, the highlights probably don’t have a lot of headroom anymore
Some countries have honey bee colonies that turn agressive. But normal honey bees, the ones in the picture, are usually homies that won’t sting unless seriously agitated. And unlike those fucking wasps they don’t repeatedly put themselves in a position to be agitated. As a kid I used to be obsessed with insects. I’ve been stung by bees and wasps multiple times. Every time a bee stung me it was my fault, I tried to catch them so I could see them better, often thinking it was one of those hover flies pretending to be a bee. Wasps however have repeatedly stung me because they’re assholes. And way more often they’ve almost stung me because they’re assholes. Bumblebees are extremely chill, they usually just let me do whatever, although I also tended to leave then alone.

AntiTrumpAlliance@lemmy.world•Trump just got 'the most magnificently savage dismantling' in France's parliamentEnglish
5·2 months agoWhat do you expect? France isn’t able to remove a democratically elected leader, nobody but the people of the USA can do that. From Europe we can call those fuckers clowns, we can punish the US as a whole for choosing these clowns (or at least for letting them rise to power), but even for that we have to be careful because we have plenty of incentive to not go in too hard. Europe won’t help, Europe shouldn’t have to help. US Americans created this problem and they’re the only ones we can ultimately solve it.
Uhhh tip: learn to relax before your body decides to teach you. I didn’t and I’m almost a year into a burn-out. Not knowing how to relax is not funny or quirky, it’s a one-way road to severely fucking you brain up.
You’ve clearly never been drunk and hungry. That’s not a viable or safe solution.
Yup, we’ve had that for a week or two. Managed to freeze in my summer jacked only once so far, and had a couple of instances where I was sweating my ass off when I misjuged the weather. Oh well, it’s wat better than the guaranteed cold an wet weather

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Looking for vibe coder with vibe management skills
5·2 months agoFor real. I type like a boomer, but I never had any problems at uni or work (as a developer). It’s not about how fast you’re typing but what you’re typing. And any good developer generally spends more time thinking or testing than typing.
Bur bad managers can’t accept this, they need dumb metrics like typing speed, added lines of code, useless certificates, etc
Barely, maybe. Definitely not smarter enough
This is an apt description of how I felt when watching The Acolyte. The fight scenes were cool, but I couldn’t help but feel like basically everyone was acting like an impulsive teen all the time and if they had just been a reasonable adult for basically 2 minutes the whole plot wouldn’t have happened.
Honestly just looks like normal lens flare where the sun is blocked by a tree branch. The flare is lens-dependent, but it’s also dependent on conditions. I doubt one could reliably fingerprint someone based on lens flare unless OP is like one of a few people using this lens
Because an average user would do that. Hell, I use Linux full-time and I didn’t know that PopOS in a huge transition. A user wants a gaming-focused distro an picks one. It should just work if we want all those Windows users to transition. He can’t do it right either, there will always be someone complaining about his choice. People here seem to think they’re an average user, when they’re really way above average in terms of technical knowledge. Even if Linus should maybe know better, it’s better that he does some dumb stuff because that’s what many people would do.












You must live in a warm area, have a very well isolated house, or have heating in the floor. If I’d do they here for 70% of the year my feet will be way too cold to be comfortable
