We usually go to a small holiday home my dad owns for a week or two in summer - we need to book that early in the year.

Then we do maybe one or two long shorter train trips to other European cities. More often than not that’s to see a musical theatre production, so we book those when they are announced, maybe half a year in advance. Otherwise it could be just days or weeks out!

Fantastic 🙏 thanks again!

Awesome, thank you!

It’s all in the suspended chords

That’s a planning problem imo, from small towns to metropolises groceries, health clinic, some entertainment can be in walking distance.

I live in a small city of about 90k and I love it. We have the important amnesties, eg shopping and a hospital, but in a few minutes you’re out in the open fields. Meanwhile buses to nearby large city depart every 6 to 30 min from my street.

Took on a bit too much recently and this week it peaks with an event/lecture I helped organise, wrapping up a fundraising drive for an NGO, and then there’s piano lesson, German class and sports.

Like I said it’s too much so it’s time to take a break from volunteer work for a bit and I’ve cancelled my piano classes - playing is fun but having to practice consistently is not.

It’s absolutely acceptable. Driving isn’t some untouchable human right that goes above everything else and can’t yield to something else for a little bit.

Two of my favourite tools!

I didn’t mind 3 but 2 will be my first and greatest love in this series! The first was also fun but a bit more difficult to parse visually imo.

This is very exciting! I’ve played and enjoyed each of these games a bunch and will certainly get this when it comes out. Don’t care much for creative stuff but more Bit Trip is always better 😁

Caught a virus or something. Working from home so not a big deal but uncomfortable.

Hopefully the workday won’t be like yesterday, a flurry of “fix it now” situations pre-empting each other 😣

Please no, Timmermans had his heart into it and got a lot done, Hoekstra however is a Shell alumnus and he nor his party has ever shown any serious concern for the climate catastrophe we’re in.

I like Void, it feels a little more like a BSD. But I’ve only really used it for experimentation, no idea what it’s like as a daily driver.

You could also try an actual BSD. OpenBSD has a very clear style and direction which I like but be careful when partitioning, they have their own ‘disklabel’ system. Updates are really streamlined with syspatch and sysupgrade.

NetBSD had a nice TUI installer. It may appear a bit less focussed on its aims but has a lot going for it: many supporter platforms, a friendly community, etc.

There’s also FreeBSD, DragonflyBSD, possibly more but I don’t have much experience with those.

Loved cheese but not having it any more. Not my milk not my cheese. My pleasure can’t come at the expense of another sentient, innocent being, especially not if that involves forced impregnation, being caged up, and having your children be taken almost right away who then often end up being killed because there’s no use.

Haha don’t need to treat socialism like a taboo, there’s more to the world than the US and laissez-faire capitalism.

It’s silly and sad that Diablo even requires a Battle.net connection 😞
