I'm thankful regardless : ).

Oh, thanks for the correction!

But you can form ~~two clams~~ three sea shells out of them.

In the late nineties we used to call cell phones jerkophones.

He exhales much more air (therefore droplets contaminated with covid) much faster, covering a much larger area with it, and guess who has to run straight into his lung cloud.

They say it's safer outdoors because it dissipates easily, and after a short while the concentration drops to safe levels. But not when the very next instant you run straight into it with your mouth open, inhaling.

This is why I hated when people used to form dense lines outdoors, taking off their mask because it's not required outside. Like you couldn't still micro(macro?)spit someone in the face as you talk or even breathe.

It's interesting, in my language we seldom use it as 'orange', most of the time it's orangeyellow.

To be fair, most of the time we use the 'other' red for stuff that is also expressed by a different word in other languages, such as Spanish: wine (vino ~~rojo~~ tinto / ~~piros~~ vörös bor), hair (pelo ~~rojo~~ rubio / ~~piros~~ vörös haj) and maybe paint/clothes or literature. Other times it's just the 'default' red (piros).

I think they're just joking that the French word for red differs from the Swedish word for red, therefore stating that Swedish and French have different words for red (because the French red and the Swedish red are not the same).

To be fair, I wanted to make the same stupid joke and I'm relieved that I don't have to now.

I made a very simple HTML page to count the money for my work. I've tried everything and I ended up hosting it just to be able to access it from Firefox. It might work with Android, I don't know, but on this internet aids MIUI it's impossible. But MIUI is just some pimped Android so chances are it's the same.

I managed to open it locally in chrome (spits), but the URL didn't even say the usual file path but some sus looking mi.com address, so I'll stick with just hosting it.

Multiplayer (competitive?) gaming in general is pretty poorly supported on Linux. It's not necessarily Linux's fault: it's enough to deal with one OS's loopholes as an anti cheat developer, let alone two or more; but if you happen to actually enjoy playing games like Valorant, League of Legends, PUBG, Counter Strike or basically most of the big names, then, unfortunately, you don't really have a choice.

I've been waiting for the (nearly?) full compatibility of multiplayer games for 20 years. I would love to solely use Linux, but I'm afraid it's not just HDR or music production.

I'm just guessing, I'm still using Windows (though I would have made the swap literally decades ago if the games I like in particular ran on Linux just as fine): it's not about functionality; Windows was designed to be a great tool to do your business.

It's everything else that you pay in return, the price being the least of the problems. Forced ads, forced software, insane amount of "telemetry" (half of which is just data collection for their own gains), to name a few. Year by year it's getting harder, more complicated and more tedious (and less and less doable) to remove all the forced ads, reverse all the forced program defaults and automatic bloat. If you have to look it up on the Internet how you need to edit the registry to be able to stop certain processes/services that annoy you, then it means they don't want you to stop the annoyance. A few patches later you can't even do it. Dishonest stuff like that.

If you're fine with everything that Win11 means, including stuff that drives others up the wall, then Win11 is for you and there's nothing wrong with that.

As much as others here love to shit on certain games (like League of Legends or Valorant), I still find them fun to play and I wouldn't want to say goodbye to them just because otherwise I'd prefer Linux. There's a reason they aren't supported on various OS's at the same time (developing anti cheat on multiple systems is just super labour intensive, and opens up way too many loopholes/exploits/bugs for cheat developers), and it pretty much applies to ANY multiplayer game. If I only played single player games I would switch in an instant.

I'd love to see an emigrated Brexit refugee per household map of Europe.
