The transfer into proton is indeed very easy and with their family pack you also get Mail, Drive, VPN, Calendar and they keep working on adding more. Very happy with proton and their fight for privacy

Shocking

While I do agree that Tolkien’s work is exceptional, The Wheel of Time shows us that studios have no problems with fucking up good source material. So it can probably go either way

Sure, but results in the past give no guarantees about how successful a future endeavour can be.

I’m not trying to take a side here, but just reserving judgement.

Why?

Same here. But sadly too many people were swayed by the populist parties and their ‘this one trick will fix everything’ rhetoric.

Probably, but he has dialed his rhetoric down a bit in an effort to seem more reasonable and stay in the talks to form a coalition. But I don’t trust it one bit, if he had enough right-wing support, he would still spout the same bullshit. Luckily our democracy is well designed enough that he can’t just tear it down, even if he had a majority.

Oh yeah, a good sandwich can make my day

Yeah, cold sandwiches were probably the first as well. Then maybe boiled eggs, scrambled eggs were not really a thing in the Netherlands back then. After that I helped out with other stuff like boil rice of pasta. And I remember doing some simple groceries alone when I must have been between 11 or 12. But the supermarkets were only 10 minutes away by foot.

I live in the Netherlands and I learned to make my own lunch from an early age. Can’t say for certain at which age, but 6 or 7 sounds about right. I made lasagna when I was 11 and cooked other stuff regularly. My parents always stimulated me being self sufficient. And I saw the same happening with my friends.

I tried using Magic Earth and especially the driving mode is great and sometimes it worked flawlessly but I regularly had freezes and crashes. Do you have any issues with it?

Flight simming. Started out with a cheap joystick. Now I have an expensive one, throttle quadrants, rudder pedals, a vr headset and I’ve built myself a button box and a flight seat. And I’m now I want a helicopter collective. Oh well…

No social media (except Lemmy), encrypted email, encrypted cloud storage, password manager, 2FA, VPN. I would also like to move on from WhatsApp, but that’s not really feasible at the moment.

I now use wefwef.app. it’s pretty solid
