Honestly what doesn't annoy me? The list is pretty short. I've never used Outlook before my work, I'm used to Gmail. Outlook feels remarkably shit for something so commonly used. Microsoft ia horrible at UI design imo. I can never find what I need and things that are supposed to be simple are somehow very convoluted.

Finnish? I had something called leipa juusto in Finland and it was a very interesting experience

As an asexual I'm willing to share purple with any other cool people. Keep loving purple :3

I'm still looking for my childhood CDs/DVDs that somehow got lost in my parents' binders and are now possibly lost to time. I love keeping them in the case so I can admire the album art and possibly the booklet before listening

Yeah as long as they stay outside of the restricted areas (near bed or chairs) they get to stay. There's a spider in my bedroom that's been there for months in the same spot. Right next to the balcony door.

My logical brain vs the part of the brain that's actually in charge. I wish the logical part of the brain won more often

As an asexual person this anology is very confusing

[–] gerryflap 2 points 1 day ago

Possible, but at least in my experience most normal people know 1/3rd and understand what it means, but if I'd throw a "point three repeating" at them they'd probably get confused. Fractions are just a tool to communicate stuff more efficiently, good in some scenarios, confusing in others. It would be cool if we could teach everyone the "repeating" syntax as well because it's another useful tool.

I'm also Dutch so I don't have the answers about the imperial system haha

In many cases that's fine, I've done so regularly. But when you want to be precise without making it complicated you can just say the fraction as well. But in order to do that you need people to feel comfortable with it, therefore we need to teach kids this from a young age. I'm not saying we always need them, but they're definitely very useful tools that you want at the ready when you need them. To make quick calculations in your head it's often way simpler to use the fraction than the real number. And in cases like 1/3rd or 3/7ths it's a way simpler, accurate and more efficient way to communicate the number than to name the rounded number.

 
 

My transition to full on Linux gaming mostly went okay, but recently I've started running into some issues with more demanding games. In games like Cyberpunk 2077, Stalker 2, and inZOI I sometimes get KDE and/or Wayland crashes when the VRAM runs out. In Cyberpunk I can avoid it by not enabling RTX, which is fine. But Stalker 2 and inZOI are basically all-in on raytracing and therefore seem to also fully eat up my 8GB of VRAM.

Is there any way of constraining the games to like 7.5 GB or something? Because they seem to actively work to stay below 8GB, so clearly there is still stuff they can clean up. And even if they'd go over the limit, I'd prefer the game to crash rather than basically having Wayland restart, losing everything I had open. I'm curious for you experiences

 

So as it turns out, photographing moving cars while manually focusing and with relatively little light in the shade is quite hard. This one was quite sharp, but some others failed a bit more

Finally some sun again :) Shot with my Canon EOS 40D and my dad's Cannon 70-200mm f/4 L lens.

Shot with my Canon EOS 300, pretty much directly into the sunshine as God intended, using Ilford HP5 plus 400 iso black and white film.
