Tetris? Any remake they've made was basically just a texture pack?

Fair enough :)

Yeah, OK. So how do you judge if you can or can't see the corner safely? Is that your own judgment? Or does every red light have a sign saying you can or cannot make a right? Genuinely curious.

I agree you can safely make a right turn on a red light depending on the local situation, it just sounds like it would be filled with exceptions for safety reasons. Hence the "don't cross a red light ever" feels much simpler and safer?

• Proprietary, yes, from a Foss pov it's not good I guess
• Owned by ex opera ppl: that's a good thing tbh. Old opera was fantastic. New opera is more fishy after they were acquired by a Chinese group.

There is a lot of browser love in Vivaldi tbh. They are very open and transparent. Haven't found a single red flag about Vivaldi (aside from not being FOSS, which for me isn't a red flag per se)

They even run their own Mastodon servers for their community ;)

I don't use brave, but I use Vivaldi.

The main reason for me is native mouse gestures. They are so much better than addon mouse gestures.

And speed dials. Addon ones are okayish, but I prefer the Vivaldi implementation.

If Firefox would ever ass native mouse gestures, I would swap in an instant. Until then, no can do :(

Wtf? Why is that even allowed in the US? Never seen that in the EU or any other country I've driven a car in. Red is red, it's like an impenetrable wall. No passing under no circumstance. Simple, easy, safe, everyone knows.

It literally takes 1h max, and the majority is done automagically. Setting them up is the least annoying part of it all...

Tbh, if you're that paranoia about your phone, to the extent that you don't trust grapheneOS... Go back to a dumbphone.... The stuff you actually do on your phone (eg using anything on the internet through your provider/ISP) is probably 100x "riskier" than the insane offchance that some three letter agency is "hacking" your phone...

No native gestures = no go

Good to know. I realized Scalzi had a new book out, so reading that first, big fan of his writing style. Quick reads in general.

After that I might read Use of Weapons then :) Thx for the recommendation

I just finished the player of games. Fun book.

Not sure what to read next. I want scifi, but something light. Might go for the next book in the culture series, but I read the quality goes down over time.

Lol, did you really compare same sex attraction to pedophiles there? "I don't understand both"... Wtf dude.

You sound like a pleasant chap to be around...

I would love an iPad Mini running android. Theres basically no high end android tablet in that size factor, but I won't use fucking IOS just to get my favo form factor. iOS is so neutered and unpractical in comparison to android. It's so weird that iOS became so popular to me... It's still stuck 10y ago in like 90% of its os design ideas.

Nobody says huitante in Belgium.

It's 60, 70, 4*20, 90.

edit: Downvote all you want. If you say huitante in Belgium, everyone will know you're not from Belgium.

Belgians say Soixante, Septante, Quatre-vingt, Nonante. Even in the dutch language part, that's how they learn french.

If you say Soixante-dix or Quatre-vingt-dix, everyone will know you're french and not Belgian. Pretty simple...

Do you have any proof of that?

Afaik in many European countries with legalized prostitution (eg Holland, Belgium,....) there is certainly no increase in illegal prostitution. But please, prove me wrong.

All research also indicates legalization upsides far outweigh the downsides.

No, sex work should be legalized and become a protected trade, just like other work. Only by legalizing it can you get rid of a large chunk of the shady part of it. (never all of it, but legalized sex work is 100% better than Grey zone sex work like it is now in so many places...)

Then why, in an initial statement, did the gymnastics federation claim it was not racism but an issue between the judge and the family directly. That doesn't indicate it was an honest mistake. Also, if it was an honest mistake, she would have gone back a few min later to give her the medal and apologize. The kid only got her medal x days later.

I've gotten some good book recommendations through tiktok. But at the same time, the average tiktok video gives me like 3-5 recommendations. I see multiple of these videos every day. My to read list basically requires me stop working and live until my mid 250s to read everything....

Can you expand on that? They're my main news source and I've never got transphobic vibes from them.
