Your right, there’s for example Netzpolitik which fights for our internet rights. I’ve donated to them once. Totally forgot about them, shame on me.

Some games, like Allen Wake, have been full out removed from sale because of expired music license. There has been other cases some come back later with the music stripped.

I don’t donate money because over half of my paycheck is already deducted from my pay. Germany does already a lot of welfare in my name and I’m proud of this and okay with this.

Also I’m aware of issues donations can cause, like material ones for instance, that can disrupt the economy of a poor country and prevent them from growing their own, so I don’t do that either.

I also believe it’s not good to keep another country depending on donations, because in the long run it will create more suffering when the donations can’t keep up. It’s a bit difficult to explain as a lot of processes interconnect here and it sounds heartless without explaining it in detail. Let’s say there are a lot of exceptions to the last part, as for instance a country currently at war should get as much donations a possible. However I personally also draw the line on countries who are at war constantly, as they seam to lack interest in stopping blood for blood conflicts and I’d rather not get involved into this, as it’s hard to tell who’s the good guys.

I thought about donating to local pet shelters and I might do that in the future, because they have a lot of pets suffering and not receive enough money to properly care for them. On the other hand I eat meat and where’s the differences between a dog or a cow? It almost feels hypocrite to eat one and trying to save the other. So probably reducing meat consumption is the best I could do. Much better than donations.

I accepted that I’m a human with needs and wants and therefore also egoism, else I’d donate all my money, as there’s always someone who’s life is worse than mine. But I don’t do that.

Next: make it so games can’t suddenly lose their music license. This is so incredible annoying. I know it’s depending on what the publishers negotiated, but it shouldn’t be possible to suddenly patch out soundtracks because of a license expire.

Google is doing a lot of A and B testing right now. Some days I habe to use Bing or duckduckgo, no matter what, or else I get shit results.

The Nice Guys

I’m so glad I watched this movie before reading reviews.

I really want to see this. I hope it’s good!

I use my phone on 10% brightness, in a completely dark room often (every day, every morning, every night). Not sure about you, but I guess face-ID doesn’t work then.

It’s much better to reach. I’ll never buy a phone again without finger print reader below the screen. On my S10 it’s also very reliable. It works 95 of 100 times and those 5 times my finger was just weird on the screen and not centered.

Especially in combination with a real videos. Like just twisting words or cutting something in between, replacing a word, changing an expression and so on.

It’s totally going to work.

It causes people to wander off as they think theres not enough interactions compared to other social media. The first comment you linked shows only 141 points to me.

The Lover 1992 when I was like 9 or 10. Those who know the movie, will understand that this maybe was a bit much for a boy. However it had a lasting effected on my appreciation, of what a good emotional movie looks like. I’d call it double edged sword, as obviously that movie is inappropriate for a kid to watch. However the relationship between the two is very beautifully portrait and made me a helpless romantic. It was at a time when they’d show movies like that on free TV at night and I was visiting my grandparents and they had a TV upstairs.

An empty bottle, you often can refill them for free after the check in. Thanks for reminding me.

Yeah, make sure it’s not above a certain voltage. You can find this information on the website of your airline. I think it was 12500mAh for most, but I could be wrong.

If you can get a controller with Hall effect sensor that would be top. Else just get an Xbox series controller and call it a day. If you’re generally ruff with your joystick, you might look into cheaper controller, as all with no hall joysticks might start to drift earlier.

I’m very happy with my xbox series controller but others have less luck. But my mainboard has Bluetooth, so I can easily connect the controller. Some say you need the adapter, but I don’t, probably because it uses the newest Bluetooth version protocols.

The best controller was my original Xbox cable controller. It lasted me 15 years or more.

A neck pillow and cookie package. A pair of headphones for your device and a power bank.

Yeah. It’s the advantage but also disadvantage of the Fediverse. If you’re on the wrong instance you won’t even notice that certain ideologies are right out blocked by the instance owner. This can go into all political directions. You wouldn’t even notice this happening unless you do research on which instances are blocked by yours.

Some good companies will provide you with paid education, of course it’s in form of a training, to an important topic used in that company.
