There is a correct way to do that but no one does it :

• Sell items for real currency directly
• No loot boxes
• No time limits, including battle passes. All items are always available for purchase.
• Every item purchasable individually outside of any bundle
• And of course, reasonable prices.

Typical Victor Orban behavior.

• smuggles in migrants
• “Oh no ! I can’t believe these migrants are everywhere now !”

🤦🏻‍♀️

4 hours of focused work is generally the maximum, in my opinion. I usually add 4 more hours of low-intensity work on top, to keep up with all the administrative stuff etc.

This is highly dependent on sleeping well and eating healthily, though, and on taking at least one day off per week, if not two.

I’m of the opinion that working hard is foolish, I’m focused on working well. Some days I can do 5 hours, some days I can do 5 minutes. That’s okay, no work is always better than bad work.

I didn’t agree with Jacques Chirac over most things, but damn, he had some good lines…

Game Dollar will unlock new economic models for developers

I don’t know about you but I think there’s only two valid “economic models” for video games :

• ongoing subscription for MMOs specifically
• one-time purchase for every other game

Everyone cares about aesthetics. “I don’t care about aesthetics” is itself an aesthetic.

Your looks are part of your personality, we’re not talking about how pretty you are here ; we’re talking about what you express with you looks.

And what a white t-shirt and jeans expresses is “I’m boring”, or more charitably “I’m normal”. People looking to date look for someone who stands out to them, without being too weird either.

I know that. The problem is that so many men have a “protective layer” you have to pry open to get to know who they really are underneath, and that’s exhausting.

Fair enough ! If you have an interesting personality that works, but it’s always easier to also show it instead of just telling.

Can confirm, as a woman, this is a very good idea. Having brightly colored hair actually communicates a few things at once :

• He’s confident enough to stand out
• He’s at least a little more open-minded than average
• He put some thought into his looks
• He’s not the stuck-up fun-hating “alpha male” type

I cannot stress that last point enough. These days, every girl I know has her radar set to max to get as far as possible from “alpha males”, because they’re just incredibly annoying, self-important pricks. The more you can do to signal you’re not one of them, the better.

And that’s perfectly fine, but it doesn’t work as a seduction strategy.

If human males did this more often, maybe I would have dated a few more by now !

Hello, man with short hair, black/white t-shirt and jeans #4096. Please, do tell me about how you like food, sports and music. Blend into the background as much as possible, that’s a great dating strategy !

That’s probably what I’m going to end up getting, but it doesn’t seem to have the same commitment to repairability FairPhone does.

I do like that I’m finally going to be able to make my own watch face so that I can be as weird as I want (chiefly, Solar Time and Feels-Like temperature)

Things seem to be moving the other way with the tariffs. Framework is not shipping to the US anymore, Fairphone is probably not even going to try.

Really waiting for someone to make the Fairphone of smart watches…

When I was a child I actually learnt quite a bit about my computer by reading all the settings of Windows XP and customizing them.

I hope this doesn’t prevent someone from the next generation to do the same thing…

If you don’t open by flirting then it shouldn’t be a land mine at all. Also, be mindful of the context. Most people don’t really want you to hit them up at the sidewalk, but it’s probably okay at the park, as long as you don’t shove your face close to mine right away 😂

Honestly, as a woman, I think it’s more about knowing when it’s appropriate to talk to people.

It’s okay if people hit me up at the park or the bar. It’s not okay when I’m doing my groceries in a hurry, or when I’m crossing the street 😆 and if you get “rejected” (sometimes it’s not a hard rejection, my social schedule is just already full), just take it well and go talk to someone else.

I don’t think this is rocket science, and apart from some teenagers whistling me from across the street (which I always pretend I can’t hear), almost all adults get this right.

Taking garbage collection to a whole new level !

66.6% of all traffic is blocked with no functional impact on anything that I do

Okay. I’m convinced.

Can confirm I’m one of those people with JS off and a pretty strict whitelist !
