Using your joystick lefthanded is a completely new experience.

Proton for Arm imminent?

If you're not having fun with Mario Kart you should play Drinking Mario Kart. Everyone gets a beverage of their choice. By the end of the race it has to be empty. But because we are all responsible adults we don't drink and drive. In order to take a sip (or down the whole thing) you have to drive off the track (or to the side, whatever is possible) and come to a complete halt.

Loser drinks one more because they are a loser. And the winner drinks one more to celebrate.

It has been part of my backup scripts since forever. And of course backing up /etc is possible on every distribution.

Just eat a B 12 bomber and get both, duh.

Ads have been getting worse and worse. I think the best it has been was when Google simply sent out something related to the page you were currently on.

Our family is pretty multicultural. We're German, my mother is Norwegian. My aunt went to live in France and later married a British man (whom we suspect to be an ex MI6 agent). Really interesting to hear her speak German, her language basically stopped evolving when she moved. It's subtle but still noticeable. And we have a close family friend from Lithuania. And my babushka lived in Russia for a while.

At her last birthday party before her death her mind (and hearing aid) were a little bit overwhelmed by all the people. And it was basically a coin toss what language she would speak with you. Actually kind of awesome. And if she defaulted to English it was good for including the MI6 agent because he didn't speak German yet.

Almost as powerful as a vegan diet.

Actually had such an experience the other day. I have all the morning-pills I have to take in little cups so that I don't think about choosing the right ones. They didn't seem to help me so far. But most of them are supposed to take effect after an extended time.

One time I absentmindedly took a cup in the evening as well. And I finally actually did feel some betterment the next morning. But because I took a handful of different pills at once I now have to find out which one actually did make a difference at doubled dosage. I could already eliminate one.

I made a control scheme for StarCraft. Worked surprisingly well. At least for single player.

Of course that one had a Nintendo 64 release.

Actually for my kids at least it's different. They're so used to ad blocked YouTube and ad-free Netflix. That when the adblocker fails for whatever reason they get first delighted to see something new and very soon after annoyed at having to see that shit all the time and cry for someone to help them.

We watch regular TV so little. The other day we didn't have internet for several hours, maybe a few days. That's when we discovered that the TV is actually too far away to reach the cable of the satellite dish.

It's what I do with Denuvo games. De non vue.

Still that's a solved problem. You just use different color coded papers for each item that has to be voted on.

I really don't get the US's difficulties with paper votes. It's so easy to understand literal preschoolers can understand it. I know because our children voted on meal choices in preschool every time an election happened in Germany.

It's super transparent. You can just watch the counts or even count them yourself if you doubt them.

It's fast. If you have enough voting districts counting takes an hour or two. Maybe a few more if you have a big district with many different issues to vote on.

Almost everyone can understand how it works. Even many literally mentally disabled people. I find this to be the most compelling argument for paper voting. You leave noone behind. It's a super simple concept to grasp that reaches every citizen. But with electronic voting you need to have a degree in computer science to understand that it is not transparent at all what is happening inside the machine.

They literally did something like that already a few years back. Just with a traditional assistant-like bot similar to Alexa and Siri. I think they were sued all over the place. At least in Europe.

Yes, but he just really really loved children. He just had pictures of naked children all over his wall because he loved their purity! Really! Alice's family said so and they wouldn't lie!

According to the foreword of my Alice's Adventures in Wonderland edition.

GPS? Absolutely insufficient. What about the people on the ISS? Or when the moon base is established? Ever thought of that? No. You think only of yourself.

Scite can do it.

Notepad++ probably too but I don't know if it's available on Linux. I just remember it being the text editor to use on Windows.

I love Kate. If I recall correctly you can even configure it to fold everything by default.

Apart from changing the docker config of your existing installation you can also symlink the new folder to the old location.

Or if Docker or Nextcloud doesn't like symlinks you can also mount the folder there. Folders can be mounted more or less the same as devices.
