The free rental services are usually from big department stores like Ikea or storage warehouses, and it’s not always free, but like 5-20$.

Anyway, if you have a truck you most likely also have somewhere to park a trailer. So having a normal car and using the trailer a few times per year would still greatly outweigh the costs and emissions, as I see it.

Our cars are also at least 2-3x more expensive here, depending on its emissions, so that matters I guess.

Or you use a trailer. Everyone knows someone with a trailer, or, at least where I live, you can rent one for a few hours for free.

My point is that words are part of languages which change very fluidly, and you could make the same argument for hundreds of other words.

If the word isn’t considered bad by anyone hearing it or anyone it describes, nothing is wrong with it. Many meanings are different between your language and mine, even though they sound alike or share some etymology.

I genuinely have multiple friends who use that word about themselves. It isn’t negative unless people perceive so.

That must be it

Just a language thing, sorry. In my country this word does not have any negative connotation.

I rest my case

I would just have Postgres running statically on some solid hardware. It’s easy to configure permissions and connections, too.

Not too hard to set up streaming replication for a hot standby if you wanna be sure (or offload some reads).

I use Postgres btw

Passwords and 2FA won’t stop you from being tracked when web browsing or using apps on your phone

Those are security guards, not privacy guards…

Lots of languages are typeless and the standard library is weak because web (NodeJS is good but npm is shit)

All of those things are by design and comparing JS to a fully fledged OOP language is just the sign of a clueless developer.

The JS standard is well defined and compatibility has nothing to do with the language itself

Not really, it’s just a fun expression. Kinda sounds like a propeller in the water.

This was how reddit was meant to be. Now every opinion the hive mind disagrees with gets downvoted to hell.

I didn’t use the wiki until 50+ hours in. You need to make your own goals. I started by making a thief and just stealing my way to the top.

You can fairly easily make money and skill up by just running around carrying and selling shit. Specialize your first characters, make the next companions workers.

It’s very much a sandbox where you make your own story.

I’m forced to use Windows at work and would quit if WSL2 wasn’t available. Windows is just for the Outlook/Teams ecosystem and occasional IDE, but I mostly work out of my WSL terminal.
