Fastest way for me (and probably others) to subscribe.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I like it for being a rolling release with quality control. On the one hand I don’t like its restrictive defaults but on the other hand I know enough to work with them and that’s given me a leaner system.

That’s exactly what Threads is. But nobody else wants to play with them.

I should dust off my Pinephone.

Now this is Pod Racing!

This is so stupid. I love it!

You can try it out. But apart from that everything runs on Valve time.

Honestly, by now I’ve come to hate games where you can’t figure out how to play them from the game itself. It seems like nowadays you can’t play without a whole community figuring out what’s currently the meta way to play.

It’s dependant on cookies. If whatever you checked that on deletes its cookies it can’t remember the “device”. The wording is all wrong but I guess they have to do that because plebs don’t know that this is running in a browser.

My counterpoint is that you have to use WhatsApp (I rather use Signal) because iMessage is Apple only. SMS and RCS are stupid. With Signal you can reach users of all devices. Having a messaging protocol that depends on the device used is stupid. And hopefully the EU can end the vendor lock in with messaging apps as well.

Don’t know in which ones, but if you play a song backwards you hear it say “Jesus loves you”.

Unless you’re expecting a mail you should never open any links. Just go to the originating page manually.

You can also hover over the links to see the URL they’re pointing to. If it goes to y0urbamk.com or yourbank.to instead of yourbank.com you know that something is up. But that can be hard to see with strange Cyrillic letters or so. So manually typing in yourbank.com helps.

Apparently lemmy even has the field newest_comment_time_necro.

You can see the exact post date in the nerd stuff. It’s 2020-10-25. For some reason it appeared in Hot on my instance. And it looks like it did for others as well.

Well, at least OP is finally getting some answers.

Wait, did I just reply to a three years old post?

German here.

The country doesn’t celebrate it, at least not like it’s done in the US. Depending on the state All Hallows Day or the day before is a holiday, but apart from churches not many people really “celebrate” them.

But some people like to use the day off to have a US-inspired Halloween party. And some children also dress up and go from door to door. But this varies from family to family. Some streets might be swarming with kids while the next street over nobody knows that anything is going on. So many houses aren’t even prepared to give out candies, they often scramble to get something to give out.

But about two weeks later there is the St Martin’s feast. Although that’s also dependend on the region I think overall it’s more common. It consists of several parts that vary from region to region. But in all regions children carry (usually self made) lanterns. Then they either march through the town while singing songs, ending at a big fire and usually a guy on a horse dressed like a Roman soldier, representing St Martin. Or they go from door to door in small groups, sing songs and get candy. Often it’s both on separate days of the week.

Yeah, that would be stupid.

Long Covid is an umbrella term anyways. CFS is just the most common one. And even that can be very mild.

I think I actually very mild CFS before I got Covid. It kinda sounds like what you describe. I’d get cold-like symptoms very often. Reliably after exercising too much. But I didn’t have brainfog or anything else. That just came after Covid.

I haven’t used the console yet. But at least cheats like IDDQD work without pulling up the console, using Steam’s OSK.

It makes Corona!!!111
