We call it the ‘pannenlikker’ in Dutch. The Pan Licker, basically.

One of my cats has problems with his gums. I give him kitty toothpaste every day, and sometimes even brush his teeth a bit. As long plaque won’t form, he’ll be fine my vet said.

I use Sharkey for microblogging, PieFed for reddit-alternative, and PixelFed for Instagram-alternative. I also still use Reddit itself but am more of a lurker there and for specific communities.

Multiplying money is easy when you already have money. Not an art.

Heaps and heaps of sand?

Store brand cola zero here, it tastes very very close to Coca Cola for about half the price, which I’m very happy with. In restaurants I’m happy enough with Coca Cola, or a Rivella.

If it’s any comfort to you (heh), a Linux user trying to install Windows on a second drive would probably see its bootloader ruined by Windows as well.

That’s why I don’t do dualboots. Screw it.

Linux and Windows are probably just equally as difficult to use to the average user. Might as well go Linux with less obnoxious features like copilot and recall. My dad was a Windows user for many many years, but he still knew zilch about how to solve problems in Windows. The average user would need to google anyway, no matter which OS.

And with the right distro (Linux Mint for example) you would have zero interactions with the terminal. Everything’s done via the GUI, just like Windows.

I’ve had to interact with weird things in Windows lately which I had to google up like ‘open the run programs and type in srvcmngmt.msc’ or whatever that was again. Something that apparently couldn’t have been done via the GUI. Great job!

For the record I am still mainly a Windows user.

Windows 10 is about to be end-of-life this October. You probably think ‘just update your OS to Windows 11’, but many computers are deemed unfit for Windows 11 by Microsoft.

In order to move on to Windows 11, many people, and I do really mean a ridiculously large amount of people would need to buy a new computer or laptop. In the meantime their old systems are still fit for everyday use, so there is quite a lot of e-waste coming up.

Instead of just dumping the old computers you can just put Linux on them and continue using them. Linux costs nothing, just time. So if you don’t have specialized software which absolutely must have Windows, you might as well just switch to Linux and keep using your old systems which are still perfectly fine for your everyday needs.

My old gaming laptop that I still use right now is from 2018. It does have the TPM 2.0 chip that Windows 11 requires, but its CPU is like just one generation too old for it. So, what do I do? When Windows 10 stops getting its updates, throw it away? Naw man, Linux will work. You can even game on Linux just fine as the Steam Deck has proven already, so I’ll just switch my sweet laptop over to Linux and continue using it as usual.

Wow, I could immediately see that the image is AI-generated… and it is also fucking ugly.

Which immediately explains why almost all AI faces look similar. It’s so clearly recognized as AI.

Didn’t the UK recently have a controversial online safety act or something? And didn’t many servers defederate UK servers as result?

Wanten would actually be mittens. Gloves where all the fingers are fused together. Mostly used by kids or cooks (the ovenwanten 😋).

We have ‘handschoenen’. It’s used a lot.

Dutch is the same, heh.

Black cats are great. Still missing that silly old girl…

Just curious, what’s the 5% that doesn’t work with JS disabled?

Yay Serif. Although, aren’t they Canva nowadays?

I support Infinite Backlog because I want to see that site thrive. Haven’t found any other site where I can keep track of my videogame collection as nicely as with IB. That’s my only Patreon thingy.

A couple of them are extremely trustworthy enough to join in the investigation with me. I’m not going to contact every damn friend I have, that’d be silly!

A few days ago I watched an episode of Death in Paradise with close to this kind of setup. The guy in question assumed he’s the murderer because he held the weapon in his hand once he woke up with a concussion. Though he had absolutely no reason to kill the victim, but because of how he woke up he simply assumed he did. He turned himself in.

As for me in your scenario, I think I’d try to figure out first who the victim was. Shouldn’t be too difficult if the phone and laptop are unlocked and there’s unlimited internet access. Fleeing is probably kind of hard because my DNA might be all over the place. I mean, I already don’t know how I got there, so who knows what’s happened while I was teleported-sleeping? Where the fuck would I be and flee to anyway? Might as well investigate as much as possible and hope this victim has no nosy neighbours. Contacting my close friends via internet and try to make it clear to them (with pictures!) what’s going on.

This all probably after having screamed my lungs out first.
