  If you are american, it usually shows. There is normally no way to hide that identity.

  When there were ISP-owned routers, I just set a private router on the inside. As long as their box does their job, mine did work for me.

  Advantage: Better graphics

  Disadvantage: Needs two 5090 graphics cards.

  Apart from that, I’d like to see a Minecraft version of that 😃 just for fun.

  Does the means that interplayer communication like in Minecraft or other games would push it to PEGI18?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When I see a link to a potentially interesting YT video, I just send the link to my PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t pay not to watch ads. Especially as “paying for no ads” has long turned into “watch less but precisely selected ads”.

  Who still watches YT without adblocker? It must be horrible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"US Person": is a red flag for financial institutions in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably the usual “US deals with foreigner” type of forms. Which threaten horrible consequences if you enter something wrong while at the same time offer only the letters a to z, digits, and a few interpunctation signs. Which means that I cannot enter my correct address in such a form. And for other people it is even worse, like people using Asian languages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations inevitably strip away a lot of a game's "flavor"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But on the other hand, if they don’t translate it, will this leave the game unplayable for people not speaking Japanese?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"US Person": is a red flag for financial institutions in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But they still have to report it, even if it is below.

  Basically, I do. Kubuntu everywhere. Only exception are the servers that run a UI less version of Ubuntu.

  Out of experience, I trust neither you, your company, nor your product. Especially not with vital functions.

  This will only start to stop once the fines for such data loss are high enough to make the costs for data protection look cheap in comparison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know why they did not include all the taxes on fuel into the study. There are several different taxes, and together they are way higher than what this chart suggests.

  Currently, we have prices between 2 and 3 euro per litre here, of which the vast majority is taxes of all sorts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those who strongly promote patriotism are not happy when it happens in other countries.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Patriotism/Nationalism is the only pride of people who have nothing accomplished in their lives to be really proud of.

  I am proud of having a wonderful wife and good kids, of making my way up despite coming from poverty, of being good in my job and respected in my hobby.

  Their only pride is their color of skin and place where they were born.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course they drive. We are “well connected” here, which means there is a bus every hour most of the day.

  You’ll need roads for the buses, too, unless you have flying ones, and a bus has several thousand times the wear and tear on roads as a car. And: public transport is heavily subsided, while fuel for cars is already heavily taxed. In fact, those taxes would easily cover road building and maintenance here is those taxes would not just vanish in the common budget.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if all people outside the city centers would suddenly switch to public transport, if you wanted to bring the density anywhere near to be convenient, it would be economical suicide. Public transport is only economical in very dense population centers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I assemble a metal building by myself?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Get some additional hands, preferably with good brains, too. It’ll be hard to e.g. hold a wall frame upright while trying to screw it to the foundation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(serious) What would we be losing in a world where most people didn't own a car? Please read the OP before posting.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You are missing that a lot of people do not live in cities. In a city, access to public transport is basically anytime, anywhere. Outside of city centers, public transport is very, very limited, even in Europe. Without a car, you are basically lost.
