I have a little brother and little sister who still go to school in France. I’ll ask them about it.

Americans getting pissed off at Europeans constantly making fun of them… And yet I’m still learning more ridiculous bullshit about that country.

Jesus christ, what a sad joke.

I’ve been across Europe. Gone to school in Ireland, The Netherlands, France, Sweden, and Denmark. I have NEVER seen this.

Finding the right mastodon instance was incredibly annoying. I use it, but barely. Most of the artists I follow are on Bluesky, anyway, which is a lot easier to use.

Wasn’t Firefox starting to implement some bullshit too?

Just request Libre Office Calc to be able to import Excel shortcuts.

Been using it just fine on my Desktop. Blender 3D and Krita are equally as good, and in some cases better, than the subscription based programs. Libre Office has the same functionality as MS Word, but supports more formats. Every other daily use program, such as Firefox or VLC runs just as fine on Linux as it does anywhere else. I’ve had virtually no issues running games from my Steam library, even ones that aren’t officially supported.

Eeeeewww. Why would I want to fuck something so small and limp?

I shit you not, whenever the issues of Microsoft are brought up in my friend group, there is one guy who pops up and defends Microsoft with “Well it’s not a problem for me. I do t see the big deal at all! It’s only a few ads.”

You wouldn’t download a Car.

Yes. Yes I would.

Yyeeeah… Pretty sure my name isn’t ChatGPT.

Yyeeeaahh… No.

Seriously!? Huh…

This was my very first subject in college level chemistry here in Denmark.

There is no such thing as “anti-bacterial soap”, on the basis that all soap, by it’s very function, is anti-bacterial. Because of this fact any company can add the words “anti-bacterial” on their soap, as it’s never technically wrong.

How does soap kill bacteria?

Soap is an emulsifier type chemical. That is to say, soap has molecules that like water and hate oil on one end, and hate water and like oil on the other. The molecule looks kinda like a hairpin, and you cannot have soap without it.

Cell and bacterial walls have a double layer of similar molecules that create a barrier between the inside of the cell and the outside world. The soap molecules attach themselves to the bacteria’s walls and then tears them apart.

Your skin is largely protected because it’s made of many layers, the top most being made of dead skin cells. But high enough concentrations of soap can cause serious chemical burns, as what the soap does to bacteria it can do to your skin cells. However, very low concentrations of soap is all that’s needed to wash yourself.

I haven’t bought it myself yet. When Palworld was all the hype on my discord server I noticed it still was incredibly jank. Clipping, pathing, physics, AI, those sorts of things.

If the issues get polished I’ll probably buy it. But the devs seem to be doing quite well so far.

This was my reaction too when I read the title, complete with curiosity about what they mean with “forever”.

This whole “dead game” rhetoric seems to stem from the sane idea present in capitalism that something must be constantly growing.

People have bought Palworld, and they’ve made their money back and then some. And despite this not being a “live service” type game, it’s still receiving updates and still has active players.

My Netflix is called Jellyfin With Suspiciously Acquired Media From Dubious Corners of the Internet.

Quite the character you are, aren’t you?

My whole personality? The fuck you smoking to be so hateful towards dark mode? We’re literally here talking about it. You decided to join in with a weird ass take.
