Definitely one of those games with incredible background designs that are worth just stopping and looking at sometimes. It’s one of the few games I’ve gotten 100% achievements on and a large part of that is I can treasure hunt a long time when the scenery gives me something stunning to look at.
Red Dead 2 is another game like that in my experience. I started walking everywhere and avoided the temptation of the fast travel upgrade you can get from the camp just to appreciate the sights more. I’ve also started doing that approach with (Modded) Skyrim (albeit forced because I’m on survival mode)
PSA: keep essential oils away from your cats. Don’t pit them in them, and especially don’t use those vaporizers. Most of those oils are toxic to cats. If you want your house to smell nice, burn incense.
If you don’t have cats, go wild; there’s nothing wrong with the oils themselves, and they smell nice. But many are toxic to cats, and it can be hard to get a complete list of which.
Neither are going to protect or cure you of anything (except, perhaps, a cat infestation), but scent can be nice.
In Germany such doctors are all over the place and embedded within the statutory health care system. It was a huge shock to me, when I first arrived here. Their health care system has been a huge let down, in general, but this was beyond crazy to me. Sometimes, if you are not careful you go to a pharmacy or a doctor’s clinic and you get prescribed snake oil voodoo medicine, if you are not careful.
the issue is that most of the worlds’ placebo homeopathic globoli production happens in one region of Germany, and these industries have yes money to lobby shit, at least if you avoid the doctor’s offices that look like a 70s new-wave nostalgia trip you can be sure to avoid 90% of these idiots
I don’t like it. He is just perpetuating the endless stereotypes that plague linux and harm linux adoption.
If you are using a somewhat stable distro and don’t have weird hardware, you don’t need to “write your own driver” etc. A lot more people “punch themselves in the face” by using a buggy, ad infested, data harvesting operating system even though they just need a web browser.
Get thicker skin. You’ve no problem criticizing windows, so have some humility and realise Linux is not perfect. And it’s a joke. Learn to laugh at yourself
It’s legitimately staggering to me how much easier to maintain Linux is for the average use case than Windows. No messing with drivers; has preinstalled what’s essentially a GUI app store to manage literally all of my applications; updates that don’t require a restart; a trivial install process with zero dark patterns; no malware; and I could just keep going. Linux has faults with the UX, but having switched to it from Windows about a year ago, it’s extremely evident why this stereotype is perpetuated in spite of Linux being the sort of OS I would recommend to my grandma over Windows: nose blindness.
When Linux genuinely improves the ease of use over Windows, Windows users don’t even recognize it as a problem. Like imagine if the roles were reversed where on Windows I could just click a button, type in my password, and update every single one of my applications at once, but on Linux, I had to individually open any given app and check for updates manually. Windows users would rightfully be bemoaning that as too complicated for a lot of users and bitching about how tedious it is to maintain (in the case of Windows, updating is a bizarre patchwork whose difficulty depends on the application’s developers). But since it’s a problem they’ve become nose blind to, when Linux actually fixes this obviously ridiculous issue Windows has, it’s seen as “not a big deal anyway”.
