Ah, language barrier thing. Apologies

With modern cars, you mean cars since some time early 2000s? Actual modern cars (5 yo cars), are the only ones I see not have headlights turned on during day time.

Apparently, it’s not required under EU law to have the headlights turned on during daytime, and manufactures will rather have a couple of cm longer milage…

Hadn’t heard of it before. Searched for it, and came across both Path of Diablo, and Project diablo. Some polls suggested preferring the latter 2:1. I haven’t played D2 in a few decades (sheesh). Any thoughts on comparing those mods?

Never thought about that angle. I don’t think I’ve dealt with this kind of manipulative behaviour myself, but I don’t doubt it.

It’s such a dangerous game to play, as the “requirements” don’t match reality. At least someone along that chain of communication doesn’t know something they should know about their job. The alternative of just being a negotiation tactic would make me consider ending the interview immediately.

Requiring 8 years of any particular tech is ridiculous in of itself. If you haven’t learned what there is to learn in 3 years, you won’t learn any more in the subsequent 5.

On a global scale, corporations could double wages, reduce hours to 80%, and it would still only match the productivity output. Only compromise would be for very few people to be slightly less obscenely wealthy.

Keep this up, and more people will wonder if a few heads rolling is all that bad.

This. Anyone actually seasoned in martial arts will back this up. Exceptions to this are trying to sell something.

In the US they were built for the car as a mode of transport when European cities where built in a way that was a lot more pedestrian friendly.

Indeed!

I believe its because cities where already in place when the car was invented.

Nope!

I tried Heroic Launcher. It’s exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks. I will try it out. I’m pretty sure it was Lutris I had tried previously, and it didn’t work very well. As for Epic, I’d rather not game, than have to run it, even through Wine.

Though consider other suggestions like Heroic Launcher and Lutris. I cannot vouch for them, but there is certainly a better way than how I do it.

Sort of. It might be a good idea to see what the mentioned Heroic Launcher does. What I do is tedious and cumbersome.

Edit: I tried Heroic Launcher. Use that. It’s exactly what I wanted. Ignore what I’ve now placed in the spoiler.

If its available on both, GOG. Always. Even if the game was $15 om gog and $6 on steam.

I play them through steam with Proton. It’s tedious installing and adding the games, and updates are a similar manual process as installing them. But, I want to support DRM free software.

Edit: From the comments here… Hm, maybe it’s not a well known thing that you can run gog games on steam w/Proton?

I think it’s also perfectly reasonable to say the truth instead, and replace “professional ethics” with “personal”.

If they are appreciative of you, and don’t truly want to do whatever it is that makes you the most comfortable or happy, they should be exposed to a learning opportunity.

If they get offended. Maybe they eventually figure out that, just maybe, you shouldn’t express gratitude with selfishness.

Anyways. That’s ny two cents. Say it as it is.

American “I got mine” mentality at its finest. Too much lead poisoning (my leading hypothesis. You don’t elect someone like Trump unless there is something seriously wrong) to realise it’s a race to the bottom. When enough people do something at the expense of others, what a surprise when others also do it at the expense of you, and it all turns to shit.

It’s this absurd country of “Christian” values, except not the part of caring for others, “fuck that socialism hippie shit, except for Russia, which is cool now because they meddle in our elections… Or, they meddle in favour of my team! We need to do something about the socio-economic situation! What, unions? No fuck that Marxist shit you commie!”

Etc. It’s all just too dumb. Hence, lead poisoning hypothesis.

It’d be some tasty schadenfreude to put parking fine after parking fine. Or even just straight up impound it. It would surprise me if there isn’t some German law or regulation that forbids such cars, same with the Cybertruck.

Want your stupid preference that is a detriment to everyone around you? Sorry, we don’t do that here.

What a weird defeatist thought. We’re already in lala-land with 5% tax added, albeit measly, on the ruling class. So, why not lala all the way to a positive use of it?

You don’t really seem to understand the argument. It’s OK tho. And not your fault. Some people simply don’t have the ability to understand, or care about something like the common good. As long as there are few enough village idiots like you, society sort of works. It sucks a little bit more, because your little stupid preference is to the detriment to everyone around you. Describing that trait as a human shit-stain, seems pretty spot on to me.

It would be the same as if you had a thing for smearing shit on every lamp-post. We sort of tolerate the village idiot. It’d be nice if he had the capacity to perhaps… not go around and do that stuff, because, how important is it reaaally to go around smearing shit on things? I suppose we’ll never know. It seems pretty important to him.

Also, “go find your peace”, is such a fantastic dumb thing to say, I almost want to applaud you. What does that even mean? It is peaceful, except when little Dumb Dumb returns home from their usually like-minded friends at 2AM and still thinks its a good idea to make vroom vroom noises. It’s not a big surprise tho. They weren’t raised properly, or don’t have the social intelligence to understand why it’d be annoying at 2PM, so why would it be any different at 2AM?

I’d happily go find my peace. It… and this might blow your little mind… the level of “peace”, in society, is at the behest of the weakest little shitstains’ comfort level. You, and those like you, are the low bar.

Some time ago, I’d attribute it as being selfish. You don’t mind everyone else being annoyed. You simply consider yourself more important. People who work night shifts and get woken up during the day, or just people getting woken up during the night. Anyone with kids, etc. It’s just not considered… Now, I’m more convinced this isn’t so much being selfish… as just … either just having a shit parent(s) who didn’t teach you basic decency, so you simply don’t know. Which, isn’t your fault. The other explanation is that you might just be a little bit sociopathic, so you don’t have the capacity to understand it. Which… is also not your fault. The third explanation is that the lightbulb never shone bright enough to notice anyone around you… you like the vrom vrom, and everything else is just a bit too complicated, and anyone who tries to take away your vroom vrom is stoopid. Also, not your fault.

If it smells like a shit stain, looks like a shit stain, and talks like one… I guess it doesn’t matter which explanation fits you. It doesn’t even matter if you understand why. You simply are. Whether you want to do something about it, meh, odds are you won’t. But if you think you are anything other than a piece of shit that annoys everyone around you… lol. You don’t really understand much of anything, and I’m a bit sorry for anyone decent in your life.

Cheers. Be better. Shouldn’t be hard. The bar is fucking low.

Your argument seems to be that it somehow matters why you are being a human shitstain. To the rest of the world, there is no difference whether you like being a shitstain for some internal motivation, or whether it is explicitly for the discomfort of others.

In either case, move out to the fucking woods, and you can have your primal pea brain be stimulated by things that go vroom vroom for all I fucking care.

Maybe a mechanism for collective bargaining can help mitigate the problem? Something, something, Reagan.
