Laptop with long runtime
  • Not the most comfortable but if you get one with usb-c pd charging, there are quite a few powerbanks even with 100+ watt now.

    Why do you use firefox?
  • Because I can log into the sync feature without the browser logging me into every single google service automatically with the same account.

    Also the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension.

    [DE] Girokarte zunehmend Premium-Produkt: Zahlen mit Debitkarten: Akzeptanz-Probleme halten an
  • Ich habe keine Debit Karte, weil meine Bank mindestens 2€/Monat mehr als für die EC Karte für eine VISA fähige Karte will und ich es nicht einsehe, das zu zahlen.

    It often gets a bad rap, but fans of the recorder say the instrument's reputation is undeserved
  • It's so strange to me that so many people get forced to play the recorder for a while in school, yet basic education of the musical world is completely absent. Perhaps taking the kids to a few different kinds of concerts would do away with such weird takes like "but fans of the recorder say the instrument's reputation is undeserved". Music schools for example like to do outreach concerts for kids where they show off and explain instruments etc.

    On the topic of recorder performances, people like to criticize the recorder player in the youtube comments, but I like how the group Red Priest interprets and performs music.

    Open source WC3 game engine
  • As the copyright owner you can do whatever you want. You can make your code gpl and give (written) permission to only blizzard to use the code under a different license.

    You'd need a CLA for potential contributors though and I have no idea what courts think about it (not a lawyer, not legal advice).

    [video] Europeans love sleeper trains. Why don’t we? | CBC Creator Network
  • I live in germany. Every single time I take a longer trip, I look for overnight train options. I have never in my life used a sleeper train because they either don't exist on that route or are so much more expensive I'd rather do the less comfortable option. I would love to love sleeper trains.

    What's your experience with VRR/FreeSync on Linux?
  • I use kde wayland and I have cheap monitors with small vrr ranges. Games with fps drops and stuttering cause the monitor it's on to flicker. A lot. So I leave vrr disabled.

    Can we please unpin the proprietary off-site/off-network promotion of discord
  • If discord ever decides that your account is "suspicious" (they won't tell you why they decide it), you will be completely locked out of your account and you can not do anything on the website unless you provide your phone number for verification. I have one such accounts too that I created for joining the community of a certain game. These are the only two screens you can access on this account:

    They also helpfully tell you that you can only verify a single account with your phone number, so if I wanted to verify this account for a gaming community, I would de-verify the account I use for work, so I'm not going to do that, lest it looks "suspicious" to discord and they delete my account - For example a while ago the person who created one of the discord community "servers" we use for work got their discord account deleted (discord wouldn't tell us a reason).

    The point isn't to bash the discord company or service, I'm just stating things that happen if you choose discord.
