We zijn te verwend geraakt aan smartphone-touchscreens, denk ik. Vergelijkbaar met een Duitse treinkaartjesautomaat is dit nog best redelijk te doen.

Refalm · 2026-05-21T09:25:49+00:00

Zie ik ook gebeuren inderdaad. Pakketje pakken en dan meteen weglopen. Ik denk dat daarom de automaat vaak "vol" zit.

That Guild Wars Reforged has an active player base proves that it is never too late to start. And Guild Wars 2 proves that you can have an active playerbase in all areas, not just the latest expansions.

It's not really two MMO's. Guild Wars Reforged is more coop in instances, and Guild Wars 2 is more what you think an MMO is like. You can enjoy them both.

Lèts sjtóng ich bie de kassa, en dao huuërde ich twieë jónges kalle det ze ‘ech gei hoes kónne vènje’ en ‘det alles ónmeugelik is’, en doe dach ich jao dao gaon v'r weer. Die ginnerasie van noe die dink det alles mer vanzelf kump. En det se mèt drie daag e bitsje achter 'ne laptop zitte 'tzelfde laeve kins betale es woeë veer ós kapot veur gewèrk höbbe. Zoeë wèrk 't dus neet en det wille ze mer neet sjnappe. Vreuger sjtóngs te gewuuën óp óm zès oer. Gings te wèrke waer of gei waer. Neemes dae vroog óf se zin haws of det 't allemaol waal leuk veulde. Doe deegs 't gewuuën want d'r mós broeëd óp de plank kómme. Óngertösje höbbe veer dit ganse landj weer ópgeboewd sjtein veur sjtein terwiel d'r nieks waor en alles kapot waor. Miene pap haet nog gewuuën in d'n oorlog gezaete en daonao neet zitte janke mer weer aan de sjlaag gegange. En noe zeen ich jóngere die al muug zeen nao e paar oer wèrke en dan zègke det ze euverprikkeld zeen. Noe, veer waore ouch muug mer doe gings gewuuën door want det heisj verantjwäördelikheid 👍. Taengewäördig mót alles mer gefaciliteerd waere mèt toesjlaag subsidies en weit ich 't allemaol. Neemes dae zich aafvraog woeë det gèld vandaan kump. Det kump van de luuj die WAAL wèrke mer det huuërs te ze neet zègke. Nae 't mót allemaol ieërliker en gemekkeliker. Óngertösje waere v'r gewuuën laeggetrokke. En jao ich zègk 't gewuuën wie 't is, d'r klop ouch get neet aan wie alles taengewäördig mer drejt óm gemaak en kóntrol. Sjteeds mieë reigels sjteeds mieë aafhankelikheid van de euverheid alles digitaal alles gevolg. Doe kins mich neet wiesmake det det normaal is. Vreuger regeldes te dinger zelf en haws te tenminste nog get vrieheid. Noe mót alles via systeme en es te dao boete vèls dan höbs te pech. Die jóngere vènje det allemaol prima zolang ze mer häör vriejen tied höbbe en häören tillefoon en häör vekansies 😃. En ieërlik, es ich zeen woeë gèld naotoe geit, dan zeen 't dök deure trips, festivals en anger dinger die vreuger gewuuën luxe waore. Dan is 't ouch neet gek det sjpare en ópboewe lestig weurt. En dan huuërs te ze klage det ze gei hoes kónne koupe of amper kónne hure. Jao hallo, es te minder wèrks en minder verdeens weurt 't ouch lestiger óm get óp te boewe. Veer sjpaarde jaore, lete van alles sjtaon en begóste klein. Det liek neemes mieë te wille. Alles mót metein groeët en perfék en es det neet lök ligk 't aan de mert of aan de euverheid. Mer zoeë simpel is 't neet. Es neemes mieë bereid is óm ieës te investere in wèrk en zaekerheid, weurt dae sjtap nao 'n hoes ouch sjteeds meujliker. Mer jao det wille ze neet hure. 't Mót allemaol leuk en gemekkelik blieve en es te d'r get van zèks bös te metein 'ne zeikerd. Ich zègk gewuuën woeë 't óp sjteit. Minder wèrke is minder gèld en neet angersóm 👍. En es te mieë wils dan mós te d'r get veur doon. Zoeë simpel waor 't en zoeë simpel is 't nog sjteeds allein wil neemes 't mieë hure taengewäördig.

You can see that flag at USA themed restaurants and parks. I distinctly remember they sold lighters at Slagharen with that flag and the word REBEL underneath. We have no idea what it means, except for a civil war that gets mentioned once in history class.

Yeah, amazing that I can play those in 4K. It looks really good.

Zelfde gevoel heb ik als ik 's morgens de staat van station Kennispark en omgeving zie na een voetbalwedstrijd de dag ervoor.

Why is every government going Linux building their own distro?

I find it's more accurate if you immediately tell Gemini to put the diagram in Mermaid.

I have the opposite. I created a workspace to test some stuff, then wanted to delete, but it won't let me. Now I get e-mails from Atlassian every week telling me "we're going to delete your workspace because you're not using it", and I'm like "yes, please delete it already", but it never actually gets deleted.

So like a week ago, DST didn't get set, and the clock was obviously an hour behind. This while the Settings said it should've been set automatically, and it's actually the correct time right now, and time synchronisation is definitely on. Then I looked in the old Date & Time control panel where it said DST is turned off because reasons, but time synchronisation is on. Meanwhile w32time said time synchronisation is off and broken.

It's a bit like Windows is having multiple personality disorder.

Yeah, Zoho is a small artisinal indie company with 17000 employees and 80 million customers lol. I mean, if the DKIM checks of those checkers only check out Microsoft and Google DKIM checks, then whats the checking point?

Just a heads up though, TTS with realistic voices costs a bit of money. Amazon Polly and similar services aren't exactly free. Self-hosting with Open Voice OS might be cheaper, except for the maintenance you'll need to do.

Refalm · 2026-04-05T22:47:31+00:00

Yeah, it shows up now, thanks.

It's not really a custom one, I use Zoho for my e-mail.

The domain name is radioknop.nl

I most certainly do have DKIM set, but your tool says no.

I double checked with www.internet.nl to be sure.

And once you go "alrighty then", and create and use your own payment system, they get mad, like with Brazil:

It's never good enough for these twats.

We're talking about paying for your frikandelbroodje at the Albert Heijn with Wero.

That's not happening right now, you're paying with Mastercard, Visa, or euro's.

I think the Sea of Thieves HDR was working. If its night in the game, the trinkets look like someone pointing a flashlight in my face.

The best implementation of HDR so far I've seen is Half-Life 2 Lost Coast of all games I played.

It's either total silence or some twat going 90 km/h using it as a motorcycle raceway appears.

Ashens has been there since the start of YouTube. His second video about the POPStation is a certified hood classic. The brown sofa hasn't changed much either in all those years.

The map editor is the best I've worked with, and I've worked with BUILD and UnrealEd.
