  It’s great in mobas where skills are universally referred to by their default binding on qwerty (since most layouts have qwer on those keys). So sometimes unaware french people talk about their a and z skills and everyone else is just confused

  Get your own domain and use it for mail routing to whichever email service of your choice. Afaik gmail offers this, and so does probably any other decent email provider. That way if a provider turns to shit, you just need to set up with a different one, but don’t have to change any accounts.

  Downside: you will have to pay for that domain for the rest of your life (or change all accounts again)

  I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, maybe I’ll finally do it now.

  If you mean Kinder Joy that’s a different product that we have in europe as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So far for me the game has done a great job of having recognizable landmarks at least. I might not always know where I am, but I’ll frequently come across something that orients me again.

  I despise being lost in video games, but claire obscure has been fine because I never feel like I get lost for too long. Just long enough to appreciate the gorgeous and very weird world I’m in.

  I still sometimes wish there was a map but it would probably be a net negative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Many countries have restrictions on what you can and cannot post (hate speech being a common one). Turkey in particular has been moving towards autocracy over the last decade or so, so I wouldn’t be surprised (to be clear this is speculation feel free to correct me) if it had restrictions on lgbt issues or political dissent or something.

  Don’t stay in my ass.

  Idk man “exclusionary” is literally part of terf I don’t think there’s much ambiguity there. Fuck terfs though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the major draws of discord is the fact that they host the servers for you, for free. Anyone can make an account, click a button, and have a discord server.

  Afaik matrix does allow this (haven’t used it personally) but it’s something where I am a bit worried about hosting costs if it reaches a large scale. (Also unsure about how the matrix protocol works precisely, but if defederation is a thing which I feel like it has to be, I can see it leading to huge pains since discords use case is often about being part of a specific communitu, as opposed to twitter or reddit. Being unable to join a groip or see some messsges because of federation issues would be a major headache).

  I make significantly less than that and make more money than the median in both my own country (a decent bit more) and the US (a lot more). It is mathematically impossible for expenses that high to be the norm.

  If you have kids or other dependents like elderly or disabled family members in need of support, I’m sure it can get very expensive very fast, and it’s quite obvious the average american does not make enough money. But $250 a day is an insane number for an “average” person. Even if you pay 3k a month in rent idk how you would get to that number.

  Fwiw my own recurring daily expenses (disregarding things like saving for holidays and such bc otherwise it’s just my income) including saving up money as a safety net/for retirement are around 70€. More than triple that seems pretty unfathomable to me even in a country with even higher cost of living.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is also when I conveniently forget you called, making your preferred method of communication incredibly slow compared to texting.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a single person in my life has ever had an issue with the fact that i prefer to be texted and reserve phone calls for more immediate issues. My time belongs to me and no one else so I have no obligation to answer people, and text is faster to parse for me and always has a protocol available if I need it later.

  Calling someone isn’t disrespectful. Calling someone that has made it clear they do not want to be called except for emergencies is. In my case I’d just mute all calls from them after it happens the second time.

  There is. Since the cake is in the shape of a 1, unless you want the name to be sideways when you look at it in the correct orientation, you have to write it vertically.
