Hold on while I’m looking for an appropriate reaction gif…

Now you mention it, there haven’t been any studies on what happens when you attempt to send Elon Musk to Mars by catapult. Seems like a worthy and 100% ethical scientific endeavour to me.

I don’t like the stereotype (and it is just a stereotype) of German being a ‘screamy’ language. As a Dutchman who also speaks German, it’s a perfectly pleasant language to me in 99% of the cases (but then I think it’s beautiful anyway, hence why I learnt it). There’s nothing inherently ‘screamy’ about German.

Though I have to admit that when I do hear it being screamed in, it immediately triggers associations with that period in history like I was there myself. I blame movies.

Indeed, I loved Reddit silver exactly because it was such a nice alternative that actually came from the community. Then, Reddit killed it…

I meant to imitate an AI response as a joke… Should’ve written ‘Regenerate response’ under it, sorry :p

I see you dislike the way things are going currently. When talking about AI, it is important to note that it also has many exciting positive uses:

• It can easily recognise spots indicative of cancer.
• It makes desk workers more productive.
• It may be used to lessen the burden of parents raising their children.
• It may promote safety by helping in recognising acts of disorder.

Please remember to always keep an open mind towards the future of AI.

Is this even „news” in the literal sense? The bigger subreddit seems to be r/AskUK, anyway, and they don’t have this petty rule (62 thousand vs. 2 million).

But yeah, really petty indeed.

If your idea of „fun” is wishing death upon people, I’m not amazed you’ve had your share of run-ins with mods.

Possibly unpopular opinion: I’ve liked most Reddit mods I’ve had to deal with. They’re just volunteers, anyway, making sure my free discussion platform isn’t taken over by spam and smut. Reddit sucks now, but that’s not the moderators’ fault. Though, I never really used the bigger subs - I gather the mods there suck more.

What is that list of forbidden words? I’m completely out of the loop what that’s about.

Pannenkoeken are also often baked with cheese or bacon (spek anyway).

To be honest, studies around whether this font is actually easier to read for people with dyslexia haven’t shown that to be the case. At least, that’s what I remember from reading about it in a Dutch skeptic magazine (Skepter) some time ago. So if you have dyslexia and find this font harder to read, that doesn’t have to say anything about you.

EDIT: this seems to be the article I read, though it’s from ten years ago.

When it comes to nostalgia, my favourite game is a 90’s German demo of the DOS version of the original Command & Conquer.

„Jawohl, Sir!”; „Bestätigt!”.

The soldiers were still robots there, too, because of German law forbidding a realistic depiction of war.

The best game I’ve ever played is without a doubt Red Dead Redemption 2. I’ve never cried over a game, and with RDR2 I cried nearing the finale myself, then I cried again when I watched it being played in a let’s play series on YouTube. RDR2 is a masterpiece, plain and simple.

I’ve also never loved a fake horse as much as I’ve loved my RDR2 fake horse. Hell, I felt more attached to my horse in RDR2 than I’ve felt to 99% of characters in other games.

Fair enough.

Caps lock works the same as windows.

Capslock definitely doesn’t work the same as in Windows. If it did, I wouldn’t need to run a weird script to get it to behave like how I’m used to after more than twenty years of using Windows. I’m not the only one with this problem either (this is actually exactly the reason why someone went and made said script), nor is it only present in OpenSUSE. I’ve read it’s a general Linux thing, and I can at least say it’s on Mint as well. Interestingly (though unrelatedly) on Samsung Dex as well.

Another difference in behavior I’ve noticed is that in Windows, if you press capslock to turn it off, it does so upon pressing the key. In Linux, it does so only after releasing the key. Pretty weird.

Firefox restoring session no matter what: I’ll try that and get back to you.

No need, ikidd@lemmy.world suggested deinstalling the default Firefox installation and then installing it as a flatpak; this fixed the issue.

It seems to have done the trick, cheers! I do get the ‘Your Firefox session has closed unexpectedly, do you want to recover it?’ screen, but I read earlier that Firefox on Linux indeed thinks it has crashed when it’s not closed the ‘proper’ way, which is by closing it from the menu. It doesn’t do this on Windows, which is really odd. But I should be able to just turn off that screen in about:config. Perfect.

I already had that turned on as I want to start with a completely new session everytime anyway.

Interesting idea. I’ll give that a shot soon.
