So why exactly are they putting Israel in quotes?

I liked Varic in 2 but that’s about it. The asset recycling was absolutely mad.

I made a gradual switch from windows to Arch starting in may. At first I had some issues but since nvidia 555.x drivers launched everything just works. Gsync/VRR? No issues. HDR? No issues. Three monitors, some rotated, with different refresh rates one of them ultra wide? No issues at all. It’s amazing.

Made the full switch about 1,5 months back and deleted all windows partitions two weeks ago. Works for gaming, work and casual browsing without flaw and I’m glad I made the switch.

Oh yeah I forgot that. Using Smarttube on my Android TV.

Can’t you run them in a VM?

And PiHole, Sponsorblock, Adguard and ReVanced (depending on the device). This is a strict “no ads” household.

As part of the Axel Springer SE politico is not a credible source.

I’d make a joke about Huso huso (Huso = short for “Hurensohn” eq. son of a removed), but that only really works in german.

Erm, the latter, thanks.

Some of both I guess.

You can get the Internet out of Russia but not Russia out of the Internet.

For me it was looking up cheats for GTA and other games online and seeing porn ads all over the site.

You might be surprised (or not) by the amount of fax machines still being used in germany. It’s not quite the same but also an ancient technology that just refuses to die here. As IT guy it drives me crazy.

Below average, nerdy, niche hetero guy here with no desire to every have any kids. I’m using dating apps since about November now.

OkCupid: Not that common in my country, which is why I tend to get all kinds of “likes” from people all over the world. Mostly Africa. It has some - as I call it - “FOMO features” included. Meaning: I rarely get any likes when I use premium. The second(!) I don’t have premium any more and can’t check the people that swiped me, there are suddenly 7 likes. It’s a money grab, nothing more. The only interesting thing about it, is the vast amount of questions you can answer and compare with people you swipe.

Bumble: It’s basically the same hell hole everyone says tinder is. Also FOMO-features.

Hinge: The profiles are somewhat limited, compared to other apps. There are some premium plans, but no FOMO-features. The only two dates I ever had came from this app.

blindmate: It’s a very small new app. Not even sure if it’s already available in another language other than German. You can upload up to 6 pictures, set what you’re looking for (age, sex, type of relationship). All other things are done by friends you invite. They answer questions about you (max. 7/day) as well as swipe for you (max. 30/day). If your friends and the friends of the person your friends swiped for both give their okay, you’re matched. At first the main profile pic is pixeled until you exchanged a few messages. You can use Icebreakers which consist of answers of you and your match the friends have given. After a few more messages you can choose to unlock your profile for the match. I have 4 friends that swipe for me for months, 5300+ in total with a total of 28 matches. I’m starting to think that I am the issue here.

It’s been years since I first heard of the pledge of allegiance and to this day it is still totally bewildering to me why you’d do that.
