idk what beaming is but I made https://dro.pm/ for sending files between any OS combination
Supports command line also in case you’d like to beam from there as well (of course wget to download, but if you curl|head the domain you also get instructions for uploading)
Idk if you’re expecting me to background check your profile now but for English I have no recommendations
What languages do you speak?
I coincidentally heard something about that today. Sadly in German but according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGE8jzGZ7To
80% of people said they would continue working
80% of people thought others would not
We seem to expect worse of others than of ourselves. Even if it turns out to be that 40% ends up stopping to do anything remotely useful, it’s at least worth trying and finding out what works and what doesn’t imo. Having the right to choose how to live your life freely seems like an enormous benefit that a minority needn’t ruin
We have a realistic minimum wage, but not everything that needs doing generates enough income to pay it. Taking care of your elderly mother as the simplest example but also firefighting apparently. It regularly blows my mind how much is done by volunteers. We could do so much more if you knew life’s basics were going to be covered regardless of how you help society
no
I would vote for it, because it seems nice and I don’t see myself sitting still regardless, just that I’d choose more fulfilling / societally beneficial work if there weren’t this idea of needing to provide and work with market forces. But then it came up with my cousin and she said she’d do fuck all, travel, spend time horse riding or whatnot, anything but work because why bother. Less anecdotal studies show cautiously positive results (or exceedingly positive in misleading headlines until you open the study and find two sides to the coin), but afaik have so far been very limited in both scale and duration. So idk but it seems at least worth a real try. Do we always need to have strong opinions?
Interesting perspective I haven’t heard about before, thanks for sharing this food for thought!
I’m wondering if this can be extrapolated beyond physical things like the hammers and houses you mentioned. Would a rule of thumb like “one shouldn’t be able to appropriate more resources than one can personally make use of” fit with your point of view?
E.g.: nobody should earn 3 million a year (thinking of the mozilla ceo here specifically lol, but I’m sure it’s common among big businesses), not leaving the heater on if you’re not home because (in most cases) someone else could have used that electricity or gas, selling or donating non-sentimental things you’re surely not going to use it again so that someone else can get use/value out of it, etc. As ideals to strive for of course, not necessarily all hard-and-fast rules
Thanks!
Well that escalated quickly
Wie de fuck is tnl?
Besides the ones already mentioned: Threema
The laptop was plugged in right? As in, not induced currents
My partner and I often collaborate on Lexica (basically Boggle but you can choose some game modes) while waiting for food in a restaurant. Sometimes also Lichess of late
Simon Tatham’s puzzle game collection is already mentioned in the thread. I can only recommend it again
“Slay” is a paid little puzzle game that’s a lot of fun (iirc like 5€ one time up front via Google Play). Very intuitive but I’ve not seen the concept before. The author made a bunch of small fun Windows games and ported this particular one to Android (maybe also available on the dark side, who knows). With a honorable mention of Antiyoy (expanding upon the concept) that you can also find there, the open source implementation is called Feudal Tactics
Saying this gift is awesome sounds like a straight-up lie, given what OP wrote about their true feeling
Weasel wording around it, like acknowledging their thoughtfulness (as you say with “appreciate that you noticed how much I use it” without mentioning the gift’s downsides) seems like a really good option and I’d leave it at that, leaving options open to later discuss what to do with the instance of this object that has sentimental value attached. Hearing that question/thought (later, when not in the middle of a gift-giving ritual), the partner presumably realises the error without needing to be told and can warm up to the idea that this new one might not be what OP would prefer to keep
Aah nice, yeah we’re sadly not at a point where you can get by in many social situations with English only just yet. And perhaps not for a long while if this nationalism trend continues :|
I assume this means you’ve got enough people around to practice writing with or direct questions to, but if not just shoot me a message (I speak it natively)
Ik versta jou niet! 😇
What’s your motivation? The goal of most people that speak Dutch is to learn something else so we can also be understood by the rest of the world 😄
And here I was thinking the most reliable and comfortable way to fail is to not show up!
I see lots of links here but no reasons why each is underused or anything.
Look, I’m a simple person, what I ask of a font is:
A very tall order I know. So far I’ve reviewed a bunch of fonts (I wasn’t procrastinating why do you ask) and found PT Sans is the best option I’ve seen, so I’m using it, but I hate its Q. It’s basically an O with a tilde below it. Any better options if all you want is clarity and normalcy?
Edit: near the bottom of the replies there’s Hyperlegible. Somehow I had read over that. Seems to check the boxes! I’ll be looking at this closer on my computer later.
Fwiw I remember trying to get an audio file onto someone else’s tablet that I had borrowed and couldn’t figure out what protocol the thing understands/shares with Linux. Even after putting it on a webserver and downloading with Safari I didn’t find a way of playing it with the iOS music player (iTunes probably? I don’t remember). OP could very well have an Apple device if they can’t figure out how to do a simple file transfer from another machine, I couldn’t figure it out either
