All the things you say are mandatory are a distraction at best. And hog a lot of resources.

Spotlight run: adds nothing except being a slow down. It's not that different from the standard search/run box. It just looks nicer. Way nicer.

Fancy zones: does not work reliable on multi monitor/big monitor setup. Useless in my use case. Has been for several years.

Fie renamer: .... Really? This is a power tot these days?

Screen ruler: i don't need rulers on my desktop, i need them in my apps.

Color picker: same. I do not have any use case for it. This is standard app functionality.

Every time i installed powertoys in the last 4/5 years i shrugged, cursed at Fancy zones for not working in my setup and removing it after a few days.

That's the same usage loop as rainmaker or most stardock tools by the way. Good ideas but fucks up to many things.

The new tabbed shell. (Or not so new anymore these days) Now that is a real powertoy. Or the lnx subsysteem.

If you don't have the time to read a book,watch a movie or play a game you should not start it.

I'm over 50, like you only have a few hours, i have a tremendous backlog of games i just have to play and a family to provide for. (mechwarrior clans is the first one which comes to mind but i have dozens)

But i came back for this event. You miss nothing. Every weapon you can "buy" does not really alter the game or changes anything. The standard liberator is still one of the very best primaries.

So..we say the same thing? The bottle or the materials get reused when there is a deposit?

1000 super credits are easily farmed just by doing missions. Do low level missions, race to the poi's with the car, rinse repeat.

Fun? No. But you said farming so this is it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

By just playing the game for little over a week, so no farming, just playing, i've gathered 700 sc.

The medals are easily gathered doing level 5 and up missions and completing your personal orders. And taking part in the majors of course.

Err, the fact that you get a deposit back when returning the bottles means they're most certainly NOT single use.

PET flasks are very easily recycled. Easier then glass. There is a whole industry built on it!

Here in NL we've had this system for as long as i can remember. (Im over 50)

Some people, especially teachers, burn in your memory.

I had a same"ish" thing with a teacher who tried to flunk me but failed at his own math. Funnily the guy who couldnt count and divide gave general economics, business economics and business administration. He hated my guts and I his.

Anyway, My average was a 8.5, he gave me a 3 for an oral exam thinking he flunked me as it was half of the total average before the written exams. He Glee fully shared my grade with the class. I reminded him as emotionless as I could that 8.5+3=11.5/2=5,75 so still a pass. And with the written exam on the horizon, which I would not screw up because I was good at it and he would be unable to screw me over on it because written exams are checked by several other teachers as well..

He just lost it. He bursted in flames, started raging and kicked me out of all his classes for the rest of the year. This was in december/January, the exams where in may.

Naturally I passed all his classes with even the highest grades of the school for the written exams. It was very clear to every one he tried to fuck me over when seeing the grades.

Every teacher congratulated me. Asking me how the f i did that without any lessons. Except he. He saw me at the exam presentation, got all red and just fucking left.

I laughed at the loser he was. I still remember the law prof smirking as well over the situation. And his name i cant remember. But this guy who tried to fuck me over because he just didnt liked me.. his name is burned in my brain forever.

And I remember all this to this day. This was in 1994. What an ass that guy was. It was also my first experience that most Adult people are not honest. And that them being nice is mostly a charade. And they will fuck you over for looking the wrong way or especially for a small percentage.

15? I pay like 80 euro for 1 year m365 family. That's 5 Terrabyte for 80/12=6,66 euro/month.

That's less then a cent per GB. Much less. Combine that with Amazon photos (Unlimited photo storage, included with prime) and i'm set.

There is no cheaper storage plan.

Then don't buy a stinkin' apple device. It's that simple.

Hate them for what they are. A worse Microsoft.

I will start using esim the moment they are cheaper then normal simcards. But as long i must pay extra to not get a card (?) i will never switch.

Choice..

Oh thats what it is being drafted. Choice. Or being given the "choice": stay in prison with a few more years added or take this chance at freedom after a year while being paid.

Choice is what politicians have.

As an oppo user I can only say: you're wrong. You're very wrong.

Samsung one UI is a godsend compared with this.... This .. shit.

Popups, tracking, insane ui choices. Half of the shit doesn't work behind a pihole which in itself is damning enough. Everything feels bolted on. Everything feels like its only there to check boxes. Nothing feels natural. Gestures here but not there. Apple style features in Android so half of the time you're totally lost: does this option still use standard Android logic or is this rewritten as an apple clone?

I really feel tricked into buying this phone. Excellent reviews but the user experience is very lacking. Maybe all of the reviewers are apple users and are happy to see all this shit in Android but I for one am lost. I use Android because i hate the apple way of doing things. If i wanted an apple device I would've bought an apple device.

I kept it because i thought it would get used to it. I did not.

Yep, regular guy in the 80s doing programming.

Thats even now not so regular, that was very special and very high paying back then.

So amazingly, you being in your 70s (80s where 40 years ago after all) now and still unable to really fathom, comprehend, how very very good you probably still have it compared to others is telling enough. And that was one of the two binary options i gave for the 80s: too young too comprehend, too rich to care. You clearly fell and probably still fall in the latter category.

Not a lot 70+ year olds on Lemmy btw.

That all, combined with the use of the lpt acronym makes me doubt your age. That, or i'm talking to a llm.

Binary is boring that is true. It also has a 50% chance of being right the first time.

 

The rebellion, Sync, is dying.

Maybe it didn't sell enough. And maybe you're making more money elsewhere.

That's cool. We, well, I understand. you're not in this because you hate free time, you're in this to make money. I get it.

But if that's the case, let us know, so we can mourn the death of sync and select another client.

 

"The Federal Republic of Germany was an American creation, with the U.S. having shepherded Germany down the path of democracy following World War II. America was Germany’s big brother, and although the relationship was not always free of tension, there was never a doubt about the military support from across the Atlantic. That is now over."

Interesting read.
