Played A short hike yesterday and it was great. Short indeed, but very casual, nice and relaxing.
30 mins of a German professor who all his life studied doing dishes and how dishwashers work. (in juicy German accent English).
The answer is soaking.
It is. I use it as such regularly. Keyboard+mouse+screen = browsing firefox as usual. Works quite well. Libreoffice, okular, signal desktop… I’ve used worse computers in recent years, steamdeck desktop experience is better than many 4 to 5 year old cheap laptops with win10 or win11.
Cool, you fixed my issues!
The audio output still doesn’t default to the deck speakers, but after following your hint it is now at least easy to select it while in gaming mode.
I installed the decky loader, and as non-steam game Audiotube. It seems to work, doesn’t matter very much to me if keyboard shortcuts like next track don’t function, I usually listen to full albums or dj mixes of 1 or 2 hours.
Culling unhatched eggs seems less cruel to me than culling <1 day hatchlings. Cute-bias, I know.
Seems to scale somewhat in Europe, talking many many millions of eggs per year too.
At least trying is better than nothing.
Not saying it’s perfect, but tech is advancing thought it would be interesting to add that to this thread…
The industry is slowly evolving away from it tho. I’ve seen “no chick killing” or something similar on labels in German shops.

There’s one good use case for me: produce a bigload of trialcontent in no time for load testing new stuff. “Make 2000 yada yada with column x and z …”. Keeps testing fun and varied while lots of testdata and that it’s all nonsense doesn’t matter.
I’ve found that testing code or formulas with LLM is a 50/50 now. Very often replying “use function blabla() and such snd so” very detailed instructions while this suggested function just doesn’t exist at all in certain language asked for… it’s still something I’ld try if I’m very stuck tho, never know.
Hmm that’s weird, emulation station is missing :)
On most rainy days you can get quite far with checking rain radar prediction. It often doesn’t really matter if i cycle somewhere at 16h30 or 17h00, you look at the radar and try to not get wet :'). Most rain is in short bursts, dry periods between, most cycle trips aren’t longer than 20-30 mins. And yeah, sometimes you do get wet. That is okay if you got good gear and if it didn’t take you by surprise.
i dunno, especially the music is really vast availability of full albums etc. Youtube + ublock is kinda my go to music. Used to search and store gigabytes, but it’s just not the same, not as easy. If youtube dies (ergo: it succeeds in blocking adblocking and third party such as newpipe), i’ll have a hard time finding alternatives tbh, that are just as user friendly.
You get 20 different tickets if you go to 20 different supermarkets. Some regional public transport companies are like aldi or kaufland, cheap, abundant, accessible… Some are like edeka or rewe, expensive. They don’t all offer the same level of service and that’s one of the reasons prices differ… Another is general economic differences, wages differ too. It’s just not that easy to streamline it EU-wide if a Bulgarian average paycheck is 861 € and a German one is 2741 €. Too government supported and you get 100’s of empty busses driving noone to nowhere. Too much free market and there’s no service at all on non-profitable routes. Organising good public transport in a good, financially durable way, isn’t as easy as it seems. Tickets like the 49 € are awesome, but also risk off-balancing the public transport finances.
and maybe not everywhere, but in belgium, i recall an very large optimism about the introduction of euro… Finally, we could travel more than 1,5 hours without having to worry about exchanging currencies. People forgot fast what a mess it all was before the unified coin and the open borders, just to go on holiday to a neighbouring country 150 km away…
I’m sure it’s not the same in everyones memories, but I for example recall when I was a kid that some parents and teachers (the knowledge-hungry ones) were borderline crazy about the realisation that an entire encyclopedia of like 40+ big fat books could now fit on one tiny interactive CD-ROM and it being possible to search through it with key words… That’s even before it being constantly up to date and you fitting the entire wikipedia catalogue incl. pictures, maps offline on your pocket calculator if you wish so. The general idea was for sure that people would become so much smarter and more efficient with all knowledge in the world at their fingertips (a desktop-pc with a dial-up at best, mind you) and all that at barely any cost at all (while it cost super much to buy a pc compared to todays low end phones or laptops).
Turns out the majority of people spend the majority of their time with super-pocket-calculators playing clickbait wait-for-your-turn-and-watch-ads-or-pay-up-now games over learning new stuff, and fake news spreads a lot easier and faster than real facts. Badum-tish.

So in the same spirit, and because the wall fell and all that, the idea was for sure that people would come together in peace and understanding, because you could easily learn everything about everyone anywhere in the world.
If they are literally mimicking the German ticket: it isn’t, anyone can buy it, resident or not.
It’s already a money issue within Germany how to distribute finances… Some of the regional public transport companies are appareantly getting less money and more passengers. This ticket, EU-wide would have been nothing short of a '90s EU-optimism renaissance.
Finland clearly isn’t the weak spot they’d go for anytime soon. You’ll have plenty of time to decide what to do and which of your 20.000 bombshelters to go to while 🇱🇻 🇪🇪 🇱🇹 is taking a first blow.
EU was basically following US orders to be a vassal under the big military umbrella of the USA and join NATO instead of forming their own strong military. It only started shifting after 9/11. The 2% rule was only introduced in 2014. The 60 years before, USA and Britain were rather pleased certain EU members were not building big armies, it implied promise of peace within…
Europe has been a vassal since 1945. How do you vassalise your vassal?
EU suggested forming an EU army as early as the 1950s! USA was against the EU forming its own integrated military. So was, not a member yet, Britain, historically always scared of a too united continental neighbour. Instead, the Anglo-Saxons basically forced the young EU-predecessors to rely on NATO instead of forming their own big military defence force. How the tables turn.
In Germany they sometimes put solar on the south side of historic trash hills. Seems like a good idea I can’t think of downsides.
