grandel,

At least subsidise it, like my govrrnment does (Germany)

grandel,

I have been living without YouTube for years. That includes alternative front ends too.

Although I must admit, i have a Netflix subscription which I use very actively.

grandel,

My response to your comment is logical, easy to understand and informative. It can be read on Linux, Mac and Windows.

What is my response?

grandel,

Oh not mine. I got 6 industrial grade 140mm case fans. My leafblower is going to take off the ground before it overheats.

grandel,

If a recipe describes 8 cups of flour, how many grams or kilograms do i need to buy then?

grandel,

Habe die 116117 hotline ein paar mal probiert. Die leute waren teilweise sauer auf mich weil ich mich wegen nichts gemeldet hab.

Dann melde ich mich halt nicht mehr. Danke für nichts.

When people post YouTube links, is there a cool open source way to watch it on mobile without going through youtube, firefox, or downloading adblockers?

When people post YouTube links… is there a cool open source way to watch it on mobile without going through youtube? Because when I click on a YouTube link and I’m on my phone and it immediately gives me an ad it’s pissing me off like in a huge way… is there a way to bypass ads without an ad blocker on my phone

grandel,

Just as personal information is on a large scale. YouTube/Google/Alphabet chooses selling our information as their core business model. As far as I’m concerned, they “don’t care” about the money they get from YouTube Premium.

grandel,

Why am I or would I be homeless? Because I don’t tip my Landlord?

grandel, (edited )

I agree with you on that point: Video hosting (or more accurately: bandwidth) is extremely expensive. This is why YouTube is basically a monopoly, despite most of its users being annoyed with it (I presume).

And isolated, without the rest of Google and Alphabet, it may not be profitable, despite all of the ads it feeds us. But from my understanding, YouTube is yet another data aggregator Google uses to make money. Indirectly I bet YouTube is very valuable for Google, even if YouTube itself is not profitable.

I meant that in the way of mobile gaming become more feasible and widespread.

Oh, I see.

I’d say gaming on desktop is the traditional experience wouldn’t you?

Yes, I agree. I am getting the impression you are sensing/expecting a shift away from desktops due to the widespread mobile gaming you mentioned. Maybe I am too old fashioned and conservative in that sense but for me gaming should ideally be done on a desktop. Furthermore, I believe that gaming is best experienced and most desirable on a desktop.

grandel,

I can justify spending money on a home built rig any day of the year. Whether I can afford it, is a different story T_T

grandel,

Oder überhaupt eine funktionierende Gesellschaft mit Infrastruktur/Internet.

grandel,

“Don’t use GitHub” comments incoming…

grandel,

The subsidies from my government disagree with you.

grandel,

I wish people would at least be aware of our current situation. Maybe it’s just my bubble but people seem to be oblivious to what’s going on.

grandel,

I’ve obviously missed something here, but why the hatred towards Rowling?

grandel,

This is the right answer!

I keep reading that people hate CSS, but it’s my favorite markup language.

People are probably just frustrated with it because they didn’t learn it properly. But that applies to any other language too.

CSS is fucking awesome!

grandel,
  1. Spotify

Wat

grandel,

The only “must have” I agree on is Xdebug and an IDE (but not specifically PHPStorm)

Der Kapitalismus sucht sich immer wieder neue wege sich mit Technologie von der Klimakatastrophe zu retten.

Es ist aber so viel einfacher. Die Technologie ist nicht die Lösung, sondern eher das Problem.

Natürlich möchte ich nicht wieder zurück ins Mittelalter aber wie wäre es mal mit weniger Abholzung? Weniger Konsum? Weniger Monokulturen, und und und…

You could try LibreWolf. Its firefox but privacy focused and has sync disabled by default.

Edit: oh sorry i was talking about desktop

I'm socially awkward, how do I greet coworkers?

When I go to work I find it difficult to greet my coworkers when they’re talking, and my coworkers talk a lot. I don’t want to disturb them, so I don’t say anything and let them speak. After that I don’t find it necessary to greet them, because we’ve already seen each other. I don’t do it to troll them or because I...

grandel,

I agree with other comments, just throw in a good morning as you’re passing your coworkers. I like to raise my hand sometimes (as a wave) and even try to smile.
