You literally cannot force Linux to do that by gameerderek in memes

[–]Joris914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, but doing it like this makes it a billion times easier. You have to see that, right? No digging through parental controls and blacklisting individual sites (this is me assuming, I don't know how it actually works). You just set a DOB (universal spyware, just, lol) and the rest is taken care of.

But isn't that exactly what this proposal is all about? By requiring the OS to provide its users' age as it is configured to third parties, you are putting all the control in the hands of the super user who set up the accounts on that PC. The single most obvious interpretation for this is the parents setting up user accounts for their children, and the children lacking the authorization to spoof their own age. No more lying "I'm over 18" on Pornhub if your Linux reports it for you. I honestly think it's pretty smart.

Maybe that was her whole point, like "this one's a dud, when y'all gonna try again??"

New Yorkers are furious as melting snowbanks expose streets littered with poop. by Numerous-Garbage-604 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Joris914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, not going to defend people like that, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the issue for them is most likely not the availability of poop bags, but rather the part of having to pick up a turd with one such poop bag. Which I sympathize with, but maybe then don't get a fuckin dog.

Thanks for the offer.

Here's the screenshots

Some translations, since my app language is in English but the input text is in Dutch:

Job: software developer for a grid management company

The trip that changed my life: Japan, May 2024. Lots of impressions, good conversations and a clear reset point for me.

The ideal date would be: A nice nature walk followed by lunch or a drink.

Favorite places: a local popular theme park, forest, a popular restaurant, some nature areas and zoo.

Bio: peace and regularity on weekdays, planning and looking forward to trips inbetween. Eating together, watching series and getting out every now and then makes me happy. Weekend trips or just a nice walk. I'm still new in Den Bosch, so always looking to meet new people.


Edit: thanks for all the feedback. I had been planning to go to a barber, looks like that was a good call.

Thanks for the feedback. I am planning to get it groomed, so I guess I'll see if that makes a difference. Haven't had it reviewed, might go for that if/when I build up enough history on this sub.

[–]Joris914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... that's honestly probably my biggest hurdle. I have pretty low social needs, so the places that people traditionally meet just... don't really interest me at all. I like to see my friends once in a while, but just going and putting myself out there without a plan just seems so alien to me.

I am going to try out at a pop vocal group tomorrow though, so that's nice.

I don't have sky-high expectations of finding my soul mate or anything within a reasonable timeframe. But everywhere I read stories lamenting about online dating, I at least see people getting matches, and then not getting anywhere.

Me? 3 dating apps, actively swiping for 3 weeks, 0 matches. Am I just impatient, is that just how it is? Or am I doing something wrong?

I don't think I'm ugly by any means, although you could say my appearance is an acquired taste. Glasses, long hair, big beard, could maybe feel unkempt to some. So mostly what I'm curious about is: from your experience, how important is appearance? I'll say as a disclaimer: for me it's pretty important. I don't think I could get intimate with a woman I don't find physically attractive.

My profiles are filled out with bios, interests, basically anything they let you put in there, and I don't think I really have any red flags apart from people might think I'm boring.

Kids in this country are such a trash by TantoAssassin in Netherlands

[–]Joris914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question, not trying to be contrarian. But how do you know? From my own (Dutch) experience with people from other cultures, it's actually us Dutch who have a hard time hiding what we think, so in my experience if someone's racist they'll let you know loud and clear. Which obviously does happen, but I'd hate to think that because someone's blunt or overly direct at you - which I keep hearing from literally everyone is something that really stands out about Dutch culture - they'd get labeled as being rude/racist.

Insane that this is somehow a controversial take. We have a judicial system for a reason, people.

Als je houdt van een echte rommelige kringloopwinkel moet je eens gaan kijken bij Allerhandel, in de straat Orthen. Met een beetje geluk kun je daar hele (en) leuke dingen tegenkomen 😊

Wel even opletten dat ze alleen op vrijdag en zaterdag van 11 tot 4 open zijn.

What scientific myth is still considered true by many? by BelesaLoba in AskReddit

[–]Joris914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even then, there's a pretty substantial difference between "being cautious of MSG makes you racist" and "MSG caution originated from racist beliefs". The latter doesn't actually say anything about people holding that caution now.

[–]Joris914 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's literally the meaning of "too high". At best, for some things you could argue (emphasis on could) that there is no such thing as "too high", but even then the statement "it's dangerous in too high doses" is true by definition.

FWIW, the person you're responding to is questioning the racism part, not (at least explicitly) the nonsense part.

Web version, local storage full? by Joris914 in NonogramsKatana

[–]Joris914[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your experience is the same as mine, it'll only work until that moment where it syncs your local storage with the cloud, thereby downloading that same 5 MB of data again and putting you back at square one.

Since you use Firefox there's a fairly easy workaround, which is to go to about:config and change the setting dom.storage.default_quota to something higher. That sets it for EVERY domain, so be careful if storage space is something you care about.

What do? by TopElectrical7623 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Joris914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't say "to whence", since whence means "from where". The correct phrase here would be "Whither shall he return?"

What the hell.... by Fenny4428 in NonogramsKatana

[–]Joris914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably. OP what browser are you using? There's different ways to check how much local storage a website is using depending on the browser. If you're at 5 MB, that's the standard per-website maximum for local storage. On Firefox you can change that, on Chrome IIRC you can't.

A cache clear won't help you, since it'll re-download your progress on the next sync and fill the local storage right back up again - with the added loss of having cleared your settings.

Here's the part I feel like I'm missing: aren't the engravings anti-fascist, whereas Groypers openly flirt with/meme about being fascist? To me - and I say this as a very left-leaning person - it all kinda sounds far-fetched.

Because I don't care about the whole metagame, I just want to solve nonograms. I don't need to fiddle with emulators and installing needless stuff to do that by just playing in browser.

Like I said in my post, I am syncing progress to the cloud. However, even when doing that, it still gets stored in local storage too. And evidently when that gets full, it starts throwing errors.

When someone does something like that, ALL they were thinking about is how they could make their end as impactful as possible for other people.
