just create a “fuckyoaccount” over at protonmail and log in.
I was an early adherent to unique passwords for every login. Now I’m doing a unique email as well. Works a treat, and fucks up their marketing too which warms my heart.
From what I looked up it means something like dude or mate. It’s also used when expressing suprise? If native speaker has better insight I’d appreciate it.
It is one way to do so, german youth also use several english terms or “Digga” which is a modified form of the word “Dicker” meaning fat. Although I am no linguist I would assume that Alter and Dicker were used in combination with Freund (friend) first since those are valid phrases that still are in use.
The English “Yo” is a really good translation. You can use it to express surprise (“Alter! Wtf!” - “Yo! Wtf!”) or to address someone (“Alter, was geht?” - “Yo, whats up?”).
“Yo” really is the best translation I can think of.
Nah, ReactOS is a waste of time and effort. It’s like constantly trying to guess what the other person is holding in his hand by doing questionares with the guy… you’re bound to lose if he’s always 10 steps ahead of you.
On the other hand, Wine, thanks to Proton, is doing quite well.
Proton works great for gaming because the narrow set of gaming-related API allows Valve and CodeWeaver to focus their effort to make sure most games run well. Windows has a lot more API though and a good percentage of them is still doesn’t work that well in wine, which means many apps still have issues or outright unusable in wine. For example, I think iTunes for Windows still doesn’t work in wine.
I never said it’s perfect. In fact, I don’t use Wine for gaming at all, but the fact still remains that Wine got A LOT better after Valve got involved.
Agree on the unsuable part. I can even be a witness to that (no Windows drive API, USB is out if the question). But, regarding “regular” apps, yeah, it does the job. If you wana run Adobe or AutoDesk products, yeah, it’s no good (depends on the version, but no good for anything above 2018, 2019).
Regarding iTunes… if I was on the Wine team, I wouldn’t even consider that for testing… good thing I’m not.
I didn’t even considered running iTunes on linux too. But after installing linux on my macbook, I realized I need to cancel some apps subscriptions only to realized you have to use either an apple device or iTunes for windows to do that. No option to manage your subscription via web at all! After unsuccessful attempt at running iTunes on linux, I ended up dusting off an old ipad mini 2 from my drawer and cancel the subscription from there (thanks god it can still connect to app store, it’s still on ios 12).

Excuse my language, but that’s fucking ridiculous. I would never use a service that didin’t offer me the option to log in via plain http/https.

Jesus 🤦… the things we have to resort to just to cancel a payment.
I think people can’t really comprehend this because a long time ago a million was a lot of money. Like, if you had a million in your bank account you were a rich person. Nowadays that means you are just an average person with a little extra money. Heck, in places like San Francisco having a million means you are just scraping by.
That’s… not accurate. The average American family has $62.5k in total across savings, checking, prepaid cards, money market accounts and call deposit accounts. That’s more than an order of magnitude under $1 million. Those households with $1 million dollars in assets (which also includes investments and homes/property) are in the 87th percentile. At $2 million in assets, they’re already in the 95th percentile. You’re not wrong that a million dollar net worth is not what it used to be, but it is still far far far above average.
The bay area/San Francisco does require an inordinate amount of money to be financially comfortable, but that is an outlier, not the norm. Even other major metropolitan areas like Houston don’t require even half as much money for the same financial comfort. In non-urban areas a million dollar net worth would make you among the wealthiest in the area. The context of the environment, house prices and local cost of living play a major factor in one’s relative wealth in a given area. The inequality of those factors in different parts of the country is as great as the wealth inequality in America in general.
