I know Lord of the Flies is an allegory for the authors experience during and after WW2, but I do think its incredibly ironic the only real life example we have of the book turned out the complete opposite

AoE and AoE2 still having an active player base and community makes me so happy. AoE2 is truly a timeless game

If your in the left lane (USA) and nobodys in your half of the circle -> treat it like a regular roundabout and exit anytime after the first exit. If your in the right lane its the exact same except the farthest you can go in the circle is 2 exits

The only thing making it a horror is others not understanding how the roundabout works, which would be solved by making it mandatory on the drivers test

Please dont put anymore roundabouts in the US until its included in the drivers license test. Every trip to work is a gamble and I have to slam my breaks while in the circle at least once a day, people will even use the right turn only lane to go fully around…

This and people complaining when they only listen to the top 50 songs. "Nobody makes good insert genera here anymore! They do, their just below 1k listens. The insane amount of talent below the 100k and even the 1k listens mark is insane and I often find myself going “how the fuck does this perfect to me song only have 1k listens!”

Ah I fully take back my comment then. Ironically ive read the book but haven’t gotten around to watching the first movie

When people talk about the All Quiet on the Western Front movie their usually referring to the 2022 Netflix adaptation since the last adaptation was in 1979, and before that 1930. I’ve heard great things about the 1930 adaptation but have no clue which your talking about :0

The original movie maybe, but the most recent netflix one felt like it cut out every scene from the book that made you actually feel for the main character. By the end of the book you understand on an empathetic level that Paul’s choice in the last scene of the book is a mercy to himself. The author deeply explores so much more then the horrors of war itself, brothership, the rich/powerful treating humans like game pieces, the effects of propaganda on those who are living the opposite reality, how the ones away from the front turn their backs on helping the troops despite being the loudest voice for pushing the war further. There is so much more to the book and its sad that such an viciously real story is dumbed down to “war bad and scary”

Funny enough my old cat only had an issue with being cradled, absolutely hated it, but had no problem being held out like a gun and pretend fired

Your lucky she’s content with the desk instead of laying fully across your keyboard like my old cat lol

TLDR: husband caught his wife cheating through the camera of a robot vacuum, then decided to start recording the affair to help his legal case. He won NT$500,000 but since he illegally recorded the affair he was sued back and fined NT$150,000 (or prison time if he wishes not to pay)

Interacting with you unlocks Epstein island at the wish granter, which teleports you into a prison cell with a broken camera and a security guard with a gun

Had to stop watching at episode 5(?) cause of the arc where the little girl learns to accept and be happy with her arranged marriage to an old dude?! I figured it would be a one off “Japan being Japan” type thing but I searched it up just incase

Dropped it the second I found out the movie plot from that search. Such a bummer since I was super invested until that point :/

At this rate he’s gonna somehow find a car powered off a heat pump

The best sleeps of my life have been after drinking several energy drinks and blasting metal as loud as I can in my earbuds after a long day hoping it motivates me to get something done… ill usually end up clonking out within a half hour. I think the caffeine and loud music give my ADHD brain enough dopamine to relax

Same but for a different reason. Im from the countryside so I don’t have the same hate of car centric infrastructure as most on feddi, what I hate is theres nothing for opensource or real DIY. There is fully open source Arduino based ECMs, jerry rig a turbo and teach us how to dial in fuel and air mixture, or 3d print a cool dashboard with clicky buttons and dials

But nope, all your find on youtube is sponsored aftermarket carplay screens that are ugly as hell or $10k upgrade kits that drop into place. You wont learn any DIY or diagnostic skills

Some ppl say “Mc D” or “Micky D” so ive taken to calling it “Mickeys D” or “Mickeys Dicky”

Its really stange seeing kanidm basically never mentioned in these types of threads dispite how perfect it is for selfhosting: great documentation, incredibly easy to get setup, easy to make a custom themed/setup auth page, lets users name themselves how they prefer instead of requiring “firstname lastname” (why does every service need a lastname when it never gets used?)

Authelia and authentik are cool but are way more complex then you need for authenticating a couple services and for me at least feel “bloated” for my usecase

Misskey/Sharkey are Mastodon but with added or tweaked functionality, Misskey is directly forked from Mastodon iirc

Better then just replacing the ECU, make it open source

A lot of people overblowing this in the replies right now. Machine-id is mainly used by fleet admins at companys to manage individual devices, to generate system application keys, or tag logs (and yes systemD provides this file, but so does dbus and many non systemD applications depend on it). Chrome and Firefox might access your machine-id but their also tracking you in much worse ways by default aswell, if you care about privacy your probably already using an alternative browser that dosent use your machine-id

The problem isnt windows or linux having a machine-id but that your applications are not properally sandboxed (flatpak does not sandbox /etc by default, so no, flatpak is not a solution) or that your using applications that handle security poorly
