Maybe this is this Yugoslavia I've been hearing about. I can never find it on the map.

Any free online game is gonna be ruined by its community. Do yourself a favour and look for a game you actually like and pay for it.

Borderlands 2 is great! Should work with Proton.

In my experience, the term FOSS as in FLOSS is only (incorrectly, as you pointed out) used for software that is free if charge.

But you are correct, the term says nothing about the pricing, they only say something about the licensing form.

FOSS is free, OSS doesn't have to be. Very often open source software, of which the commercial fork is being maintained by a company, that company will profit from businesses using the software. Idk about VLC but Moodle, for instance, is open source and updates for it are based on a subscription model.

The license agreement for OSS will often state that you are free to use it in your own home, but if you start commercially using the software, they expect you to pay. Some open source projects can get resold by service providers this way to handle deployment of updates, provide support, et cetera.

The Dutch housing market is very difficult at the moment, so any place worth living is gonna be hard if you don't bring a huge bag of cash. That said, the Netherlands is a great country to come to because most folks speak English very well and we don't mind accomodating others.

But as someone who has lived in the Netherlands his entire life, I'd prefer a country like Portugal. Ethically, though, Iberian countries have a big problem with folks from western countries migrating and driving up prices in the more desirable areas. Lisbon is essentially becoming Amsterdam in the sense that you'll hear more English than the native language.

This is the type of action where it matters what the dude looks like.

I think that really depends on the news site. News from my country is very well suited for RSS.

[-] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

I think what you're describing is the need for RSS feeds. Generally, news outlets categorise their articles neatly so you subscribe with RSS to only headlines, or world events, or whatever. It requires you to have a look around the news site in question and setup RSS correctly.

The other neat thing is that you can read all your RSS feeds (ie multiple news sites) in one reader and there are tons of custom RSS apps.

I share your disdain for gossip and mainstream money grab promo. And ads. My god how much do ads suck.

I think the 70 model is best to upgrade every once in a while. I went from a 1070Ti/1080p to 1070Ti/1440p. Then it started struggling, so now I'm on 4070/1440p. If you'd have a xx60 you'd be upgrading every gen.

That said, rumour has it that the 50xx's won't be a big improvement over 40xx. Most likely what comes after 50xx will be a big one.

So depends on what you play but the 40 series does all the DLSS fancies the 50 will probably. So 4070ti super for my money would be fine, 4080 super might be nice if you can get it.

Soldering is very hot soldering, the materials used in welding are different and the application is different.

Yeah by the time Win10 is deprecated I am hoping Linux is more suited towards my needs anyway. There's little sense in going open source and staying with Windows. It's well past its prime.
