How supportive is your family of your transition? (Rate 1-6)
  • I don't understand the whole trans-thing, but what i understand is life's #1-rule:

    Remove toxic people from your life. No matter who it is, period. If they dare to judge you or your decisions based on some stupid old fantasy-book and have no opinion on their own: fuck them, you don't need such people in your world. Family is just being related by blood. That doesn't mean anything at all really. Real family is people who are on your side, who got your back, even if they don't understand it or like it or whatever. I don't know why we all overvalue blood-family so much.

  • Looking for FOSS Games
  • Oh wow, both seem really great.

  • Anon thinks about Google
  • Hehe, i have an awesome solution for that. I simply block everyone except wifey and friends. The rest of the world doesn't need to reach me. I call back when i want to, or simply don't 😁

    Just because i CAN be reached mobile doesn't mean i have to. Wasn't before Smartphones and won't be with..

    But yes, the call-screening is cool. If you disregard privacy and the percentage of non tech-savy people who are totally overwhelmed by that.

  • Anon thinks about Google
  • Totally. First thing i check is "can i debloat and root this piece of shit which is technically awesome but ruined software-side". Which i most likely can't as the hurdles became more and more annoying each year up to the point where i gave up and went google.

    If they'd do the same with PCs, noone would buy that shit. Unless it's a crapple...

  • Anon thinks about Google
  • Those looked nice, yes.... But hard to get here and technically not that interesting to me, last time i checked. But we need more alternatives than just fairphone.

    I hate the smartphone-market and what samsung and crapple made out of it.

  • Anon thinks about Google
  • Hate it like you want, but the effing pixels are still the best phones. Not by os, not by spec, but simply by being the most open android of them all. The easiest to de-google. Sounds stupid, but is not.

    I hate google with all my heart (since they dropped their slogan "don't be evil" and went... Well.... Evil). But i will buy their fucking phones until a viable alternative comes along.

  • Anon thinks about Google
  • The location is just a "byproduct" of having access to all networking. Wifi, gps, bt... So if an app wants to know your wifis name (and maybe nothing more) it needs access to "everything network". Not the app's fault... Fuck google 😑

  • It's Thursday, how is your week going?
  • Dearth of excitement? I sometimes wish for a bit less excitement :-) But the day only has 24h and there are so many hobbies to pursue....

  • Why do some Americans get angry at other people for not speaking English?
  • It's literally in the term. But yeah sure, it's easier to just smack the same label on everything. Whatever makes you happy.

  • Why do some Americans get angry at other people for not speaking English?
  • They could simply

    A) dislike X

    B) hate/despise X

    C) came to the logical conclusion, that X is bad/wrong/shouldn't be/whatever

    D) genereally mistrusting against X due to a careful nature

    E) have had traumatic experience with X (e.g. Being raped/attacked by a member of a specific ethnicity) and hence totally overreacting to an otherwise harmless stimulus, even forgetting the rules of civil behaviour

    Those all don't mean there's the medical condition of a phobia for X.

    A real xenophobic has an irrational fear of anything unknown/alien. Doesn't mean the person just hates e.g. Mexicans for no real reason. It might even like them once they get to know the better, which often just won't happen as phobics tend to avoid the cause their phobia instead of treating it.

    I just dislike the lax use of medical terms until they're bereft of any real meaning.

    So, a person who yanks "speak English!" to someone, could have many reasons to do. None are neither polite nor politically correct. While the asshole is probably just the uneducated asswipe, the phobic could be helped and probably even feels bad afterwards for being so compulsive and insulting.

  • It's Thursday, how is your week going?
  • Spent the week doing tours with wifey, gaming like a maniac, catching up on some documentaries, and being glad for not having to worry about kids or pets or anything else 😊

  • It's winter. so what is your favourite icecream / gelato / frozen yog flavour?
  • Málaga... The one and only. Totally went outta "fashion" but it's still a bliss

  • Also "parasite".
  • I never understood people instantly behaving differently the second they smell money in a person. It gets uglier the more they smell. Noone with money will ever deal with them. Never ever.

    It's epitome is this cult-like following or even worshipping of silly ass-clowns like musk.

    I tried to look as poor as possible when i last dated. Golddiggers quickly leave then. I don't get the followers and i even less get the rich fucks boasting around so they can never trust anyone ever anymore. Great tactics 😁

  • Why do some Americans get angry at other people for not speaking English?
  • Not everyone disliking something is necessarily phobic towards it. That's just one possoble explanation.

  • Academia to Industry
  • Not meant as an insult, but if you really think that, you aren't really great at that "tech job". But you're still better than any A"I"

  • ACAB.
  • Yeah sure whatever. Go hate the least important asset of an instrument that tramples you to death. If that makes you feel better.

    Cops may be protecting my assets and my ass, but if it wouldn't be them, it would be private force i would have to pay (at least cops are free lol). I am one of those who reap the soils of your labour (because i don't work). You should fight me and those with way more dough. Not the badly paid cops. Actually why am I even arguing, i should be glad you hate them 😁

  • ACAB.
  • So, you're a troll, a bot or unable to comprehend my posts. Which is it?

    I do understand what police is and what they do. Did you copy/paste this from r/i_am_14_and_this_is_deep?

  • ACAB.
  • I see you avoid answering things, so I don't even watch this. But for the point of the argument again: Rising fascism in europe is connected to the fucking cops HOW?! Why the effing f should I care about the enforcers of a system that wants to fuck me raw and not the owners of this system? Serves my point somehow, doesn't it?

  • ACAB.
  • Because... It's their job? Protecting everyone from unlawful blahblah? Overthrowing a gov is kinda the epitome of "unlawful". No wonders here. Also they'd probably do shit and the army rolls out in such a case, but...

    Especially the muricans hate cops so much but love their military. People being paid to murder other people "for protection". Where are the AMAB instead of ACAB?

    Anyhow, and your take on your statement is, that cops are the evil then? Where's the importance of the lowest of enemies that are literally in the same boat as the regular working joe that cries ACAB? Or is it just acceptance that one couldn't change a thing but hating cops is graspable and tangible?

  • ACAB.
  • A community looking after themselves? Nice in theory but

    • won't work for bigger cities where nobody gives a rats ass for others
    • won't work in countries without free guns. How else should a community defend themselves?
    • organized crime will always beat local yokels with guns. Now they just can do it freely.
    • who organizes it? Who votes whom? And in the end someone is doing nothing but organizing everything and cashing in. Up the point where he needs protection for his wealth and starts adapting rules. Back to square 1.

    I see you're not sure of an alternative, i wouldn't have one to offer either. Where's light there's shadow. And the worst problem is always: people. Homo homini lupus est. Always has been, allways will be. Doesn't mean we shouldn't optimize police where necessary. But personally I'm quite glad they're 3 numbers dialed away to quickly help first, ask later. You can even call them drunk so they drive you back home for free or at least call u a cab😁

    Sure they would protect my properties too. So unless you are totally against property (then you'd totally be right and we wouldn't argue), how else should i protect it? I don't work but I'm still sometimes not at home and glad the cops would be here in 5mins in case of an alarm.

    Weird problem driving me crazy (Win, Domain, Network)

    [Update:Solution]

    It was my router which set STP on by default. Switching it off (in smaller networks) or using RSTP made the delays go away.

    [/Update]

    Hóla!

    For a long time I've got this horribly annoying problem: Upon bootup, ANY domain-machine that is using LAN (no probs with wireless) has an idle-time with "there's no network!" of about 1-2mins until they discovered the network. BUT only windows-machines. Linux boxes get net instantly. Also on LAN.

    Setup: 2 Domaincontrollers, Server2019. Both are DNS, one is DHCP and NPS for WIFI. All machines have fixed IPs, the DHCP is just for wireless clients.

    I have tried everything I could think of, like NIC-Drivers, OpenDHCP, temporarily changed the switch from a managed one to a dumb one, changed the NIC in the server, let only one DC be alive at a time, rejoined the domain, the usual sfc/dism-approach and whatnot.

    I asked once on reddit, but everyone just told me "that's DHCP!", yet it's (seemingly at least) not. All have fixed IPs, but using dhcp doesn't change a thing.

    So I'm clueless again, hoping for some nerd that's nerdier than me to have an idea :)

    What song still emotionally "destroys" you today? And why?

    As the title says....which song still haunts you emotionally? And why? A (freely accessible) link might greatly bring your point across.

    Mine would be: (Typhoon - "Empiricist") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E328pIZWFM

    The lyrics go deep and it just touches me. No otherwise special attachment.
