Its just that one guy who does it, i think either out of pretentiousness or to hamper indexing.

160GB ram for 20 bucks… I’d have taken that regardless

That’s also due to the still very widespread asian beauty ideal of white/pale skin.

We europeans used to idolize that too, if you look at old paintings and portraits the women have porcelain skin almost every time, because it meant you were of high enough status and wealth to not labor in the sun as the well tanned peasantry.

Are you trying to prove my point?

Sarcasm and irony on the Internet are dead though. We live in post-sane times, i cannot ever assume the other person is not completely serious about the utterly deranged and/or idiotic shit they write or say.

I must always assume that yes, that person is in fact as stupid as they seem until proven otherwise/indicated by an /s.

I used something called spotDL, it grabs your music from youtube. I also had to get several thousand tracks, but it still found almost all of them. Didnt find maybe 50 out all those.

Understanding them from context works reasonably well yes, but they are still odd letters in modern usage, most people couldnt use or type these on their devices without extra steps.

Seems unnecessarily complicated for everyday use. Being a german myself i also do not use our Umlaute outside of communication in german, because barely any other reader can make sense of ä, ö, ü. Simpler to just spell them accordingly as ae, oe, ue.

Why?

I am curious, how is india and pakistan doing what they do best a cause for a global conflict? In the two last ones it was a bunch of european states tied together through silly treaties and pacts and a whole lot of countries coming together to stamp out the nazis, respectively.

India and pakistan are neighbors and essentially two sides of the same coin with different religions, and as far as i know have no defensive pacts with any major outside power. So even if they went to full blown war it would stay fairly confined to the region, no? Excluding considerations such as trade impact of course.

Understandable they are pissed. Paying in advance for games not yet made is a fucking scam, develop your shit and convince me with a finished, polished product.

I’m also sceptical of the bunch of promotional fluff in that link, that generally means less substance more bullshit in a game.

Lets say i sell you one thing for 5 bucks. And i also want to sell you 100 of the things for 500 bucks. Are these the same deal to you? Why not? The savings are the same no?

My client doesn’t show these things, and i’m honestly not interested enough in the matter to read someones bio to put their odd form of expression into context, even if it would show them.

For the sake of efficient communication i would suggest adjusting either by putting that context in your comment or by expressing yourself more clearly.

Who is “we” in this?

I agree that a lot of shows and movies, especially the more recent ones, have little rewatchability. You could always replace those with an armful of whatever is current and on your watchlist after you are done though.

And personally i have a couple of evergreens and classics i enjoy watching again now and then, and it is nice to know i always have something to watch even if i cant afford the subscription any more / the stuff i like gets region locked / fucking licensing pulls the rug. It also feels a little empowering to have my own stuff that really is just mine and nobody can revoke my viewing permissions, in the face of endless enshittification.

As for the media server, i am not tech savvy enough myself to run one so i just bought a large ass external drive. When i am away from home i just bring that thing and can watch my stuff on any computer and generally also tv i plug it into.

The key words here being “left with a library”. Your media, now and forever, at no additional cost, available whenever you want. I could not go back to netflix etc.

But how am I supposed to get to work at the co2 factory in my house sized truck on time when those fucking hippies glue themselves to the road??

I mean, the way I read it is “not a day goes by on which I am not regretting doing this”. So, every day you are regretting it 🤔

So you regret it every day? GOS is amazing in my opinion. What’s your gripe with it?

Huh. Why is that? Like, do they bark when an unknown person approaches the house?

Ah yes of course, the system must be financed somehow in the end. Still infinitely better than the american system which works worse for the average citizen and costs a lot more.
