Turns out we have different neuro types because we need people who are good at dealing with different circumstances. Who knew ?

Can’t the police just take the license plate and file the ticket in later at the precinct ? That’s what they often do here in France afaik.

I’m autistic and I’m doing great ! I pay my taxes, I’ve written quite a few poems, and a whole lot more things too.

And honestly, if it were even true that vaccines made me this way, then thank you vaccines ! I really like being autistic. It’s been mostly upsides to me.

There is a correct way to do that but no one does it :

• Sell items for real currency directly
• No loot boxes
• No time limits, including battle passes. All items are always available for purchase.
• Every item purchasable individually outside of any bundle
• And of course, reasonable prices.

Game Dollar will unlock new economic models for developers

I don’t know about you but I think there’s only two valid “economic models” for video games :

• ongoing subscription for MMOs specifically
• one-time purchase for every other game

This how it has always been here in France, afaik, and when I was in school a decade ago it worked very well. Hopefully still does !

That’s probably what I’m going to end up getting, but it doesn’t seem to have the same commitment to repairability FairPhone does.

I do like that I’m finally going to be able to make my own watch face so that I can be as weird as I want (chiefly, Solar Time and Feels-Like temperature)

Things seem to be moving the other way with the tariffs. Framework is not shipping to the US anymore, Fairphone is probably not even going to try.

Really waiting for someone to make the Fairphone of smart watches…

When I was a child I actually learnt quite a bit about my computer by reading all the settings of Windows XP and customizing them.

I hope this doesn’t prevent someone from the next generation to do the same thing…

I envy the turtles but I was born a hare.

I feel very fortunate slow that and steady doesn’t actually always win the race.

Taking garbage collection to a whole new level !

66.6% of all traffic is blocked with no functional impact on anything that I do

Okay. I’m convinced.

I just checked, it boots in .5 seconds on my Steam Deck. So yeah, there’s a problem somewhere 😅

I agree with the general sentiment, though KDE’s apps do have some real performance issues.

Dolphin sometimes takes 2-5 seconds to open on my gaming PC, whereas Nautilus (Gnome Files) is usually done before I’ve even let go of the click.

Maybe that’s just preloading, but it makes a bloody enormous difference in everyday usage.

I prefer Plasma overall, though.

Can confirm I’m one of those people with JS off and a pretty strict whitelist !

I don’t understand why we don’t just all use UTC and just wake up at different hours depending on the country 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t think anything’s wrong with trees, but maybe we could also have some of these as well as trees ?

Replace the advertisements on bus stops with a really cool green liquid wall 😮 (but they’d have to make the glass super thick, these things tend to be vandalized from time to time)

That’s true, maybe I should have said particle board and cork ? Something else ?
