I am semi-literate in “computers”. That means I can build my own PC, do no coding, but manage to troubleshoot most things by sheer stubborness, search and the odd question on a “forum” In other words not afraid of tech.

I can’t be bothered to sift through endless overengineered BS for a PC to do the few things I need it to do these days. Web browser, Steam and streaming, while not scraping every ounce of personal data and sending it to various entities for nefarious purposes. I have Mint, it works out of the box and I don’t have to tinker with it, but enough customizability if I want to.

I have read voraciously all my life. Audiobooks ruined it somewhat, but with a 2 year old I have been adamant that he sees dad with a book, not a phone or e-reader.

I have tried the classics numerous times, but I find them mind numbingly boring. Homer, Tolstoy, Ibsen are so dreary. Better some good fantasy by Pratchett or Gaiman. Found the Slow Horses series to be enjoyable. If you want more classic action perhaps the Musceteer-books by Duma or Sherlock Holmes by Doyle. (Personally very fond of the closed room mysteries by John Dickson Carr

Think they caters to tourists in Oslo juding by the location map

Nah. Think they pulled out years ago

This image needs some correction for Norway. Only SubWay, MCD and BK are prevalent. Dominos have mainly places on Oslo, and a the rest are mainly in the larger cities. Starbucks 10. Most in downtown Oslo. Think Pizza Hut pulled out of Norway years ago

I played the similar game Stunt Driver on PC a lot growing up. Had a tweaked copy where all the stats were turned way up on one car. Good choice to play as an old game

If you call them prisoners of war, and accept them as such this might be a breach of the Geneva convention if they are identifiable. Then again it might not be regular Ukrainian army taking these pictures, but that opened up a whole new set of questions and possible breaches.

I wholeheartedly support Ukraina in their fight against Russia, but still thing that Ukraina should adhere to the Geneva convention.

Norwegian here. I quit reddit and joined Lemmy after the API debacle. Installed mint because of W11. (A big factor was how Steam and proton enables me to play games)

Can’t say either Lemmy or Linux has gotten any media attention in the big news sources as far as I can see.

I am the only one in my circle of friends that quit Reddit (most follow the various 40k reddits, and they have no replacement in federated options)

Bill Bryson in “made in America” reference this I think

Mouse wiggles

Oh yeah. I am om team lead. The problem with Mercury is the vapor that ridiculously easy methylates when heated, and then you have a nerve toxin that quite easily crosses the blood-brain barrier.

Kids with little experience perhaps. And morons.

Same with metallic mercury. But once it evaporates…

Think they got replace ny screens many places. Think the reason they are forgotten is how insanely expsensive they can be.

I bought zip screens for my westward facing windows and it was ridiculously expensive. And then the electrical work on top. They are all custom ordered to fit the window so it hikes up the price.

Wasn’t Eisenhower the last of those republicans?

Like Terry Pratchett said: Bad times make good men

Good men make good times

Good times make bad men

Bad men makes bad times

They are banned for possible connections to a country and an organization (IDF) that have been confirmed to perform war crimes.

If you willfully target children no matter your skin colour, creed, religion or whatever arbitrary set of parameters you are a criminal.

Israelis are now discovering the price of being associated with war criminals.

Can understand that, but I feel it’s dumbed down. Better to state the increase and then say it’s relative to [some relatable fact] perhaps?

The important part is to be loyal. Same as when Elizabeth I broke with Rome the people punished for being chatolic was not charged with heresy, but treason

I don’t like to use relative numbers to illustrate the increase. 48% can be miniscule or enormous based on the emission last year.

While I don’t think the increase is miniscule it’s still an unessesary ambiguity.
