Nice strawmen you got there. Of course I meant that I at least do not encounter such contextual abbreviations outside of technical documents in my daily life.
You didn't need to announce that you don't care about how others see you, seeing that you would rather insult me and argue against a strawman. Have a nice one.
Sounds like German
plane - flying stuff
Lighter - fire stuff
Vehicle - driving stuff
Yea it probably is a skill issue as I don't need to perfect this skill in my daily life in Germany.
But what good did the abbreviation do? Save less than a second especially with auto completion? Was that worth inconveniencing others?
I've heard some people say it in England but dunno if it's actually common there. Was only a tourist.
You like some Tuberculosis?!
I don't get the need to abbreviate everything. It just makes things harder to read and parse.
The definition of digital rights management is licensing? That does not sound right to me.
A long time before steam the software sector moved to selling licenses only btw.
I actually fully agree with the message. Bring back bright colors for cars!
Also participating in traffic at night is always a risk so wearing at least a bit of high-viz is just to minimize that. It's not like we are wearing it in jobs for the look.
How can you question if you are laughing out loud? What does it even mean?
This is the case in steam already. There are lots of (mainly Indy) games that will start fine without steam.
GOG actually has a relatively good selection of Linux games.
More common were race theories that put eastern people further up their imaginary hierarchy than others.
Don't choose the app I do as it will soon be discontinued. It has happened 3 times now :(
Which is definitely strange. Or maybe I know a lot of strange women. Which is not unlikely now that I think about it. We should all be a little strange tbh
Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying.
Edit: And with Microsoft it's even more apparent as there were large proprietary operating systems before Microsoft got big.
Well you are wrong. I am not saying that this situation is fine. I am saying that it is not the individual company that is the main problem but the system that enables them to begin with.
Just dismantling valve is not a long term solution. It's short sighted. Without them there would be others in their footsteps. One needs to change the system to change that. Give companies opportunities and they will exploit them. I actually agree with the above comment that legislation / regulation is a solution to this problem.
That is why I am pissed off that I am called stupid and bootlicker. That is not a good way to discuss things and especially not a good way to get to an understanding.
And yes I do think that there is a high chance other big tech companies would've done worse than valve. Which is not a great endorsement for them to be clear.
Where did I say they are necessary? Where did I say you need a proprietary third party launcher?
What other statements do you want to put in my mouth?
Was ist mit der Luftqualität in Stralsund los?
Gerade aus Langeweile auf Google Maps die Luftqualität angeschaut. Fast überall in Deutschland und Nordfrankreich gut bis sehr gut. Aber es gibt einen klaren blob um Stralsund.
Too much US election content on Lemmy?
I hope this is a good place for this. A few weeks ago I started a simple experiment: Block every community in the All feed that is about the US election in some way.
I thought this up after a thread about the Biden debate, as someone kindly (not really kindly) informed me that I should curate my own experience here. I thought about it and realized just how much election/politics stuff there is on the front page. It was quite hard blocking communities I like, especially 196 on blahaj.
Now the quality of my feed did go up in some ways but it's very slow. I also realized that I am feeling a lot less rage/anger than before when scrolling lemmy. I didn't even realize how much the constant political stuff from another continent affected me...
What is your opinion on this? Is Lemmy really filled with too much US political rage bait? Should I continue with my zero tolerance policy?
It would also interest me to hear an American perspective. Is there more or less politics here, on other platforms or real life. How does rage/hate affect you when scrolling through Lemmy and does it take a toll?
