Belgium is 100% not a stem family. Nobody lives with their parents if they can financially avoid it. It’s not a thing and hasn’t been for decades.

Firipu@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•How Clair Obscur’s Composer Created An Incredible SoundtrackEnglish2·1 month agoSo true. I love the music and atmosphere. It is fantastic. The story looks great. But I do not enjoy the gameplay personally. I want to play it so much, but even 10h in, I’m still not truly enjoying it. Makes me sad, I want to love it so much.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•'I have no plan B': Gaza's families left to starve under Israeli aid shutdownEnglish6·2 months agoThat picture hurts soo much…
Starving kid embracing its mom, loving her unconditionally. Mom’s eyes full of desperation… Powerful image…
:'(
Firipu@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Rafah no longer exists. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently occupy Gaza.English243·2 months agoIt’s not a genocide anymore. We should start calling it what it is, a holocaust. The entire systematic destruction/eradication of a people, not just the murder of them, but the entire structural destruction of one.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Where do you go when you have no one to talk to?1·2 months agoIt might be a scam, but I talked to someone through better help for a few weeks. She helped me get rid of my overall negativity really fast. She didn’t teach me anything revolutionary, but she made me face the issue face on. 2y later and I haven’t fallen back into my old ways. So for me personally, it was an absolute success story.
I have other issues like every human being, but I am not a Debby downer anymore around others
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Where do you go when you have no one to talk to?61·2 months agoNowhere? Sit with my own sadness. Go to the gym and work my frustration out on weights. Play games and forget? Unfortunately none of them healthy coping mechanisms, but talking to close ones leads to more issues because I’m very bad at putting my feelings into words without causing distress to others apparently. So inwards it goes.
Not as if the universe cares, so why should I?..
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WESTEnglish4·2 months agoThis doesn’t surprise me. If I hear stories of some of my teenager son’s classmates it sounds realistic. The other day one of his mates spent 20k in an arcade on claw machines in a single afternoon. He “won” like 4-5 massive plush dolls, and had to hide them at our place to avoid parental wrath. Can buy them for 2000jpy incl shipping on aliexpress.
Some of his friends spent their entire allowance and more on fortnite every month. Parental failure imo. Parents should teach their kids the value of things…
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•Space Chef (in development), a space exploration/hunting x restaurant management game hybrid, releases demo on Steam.English2·2 months agoCool concept. But the art style ain’t my thing unfortunately. I hope they clean up the art and animation a bit. The cover art has a cool style.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Whaling season cancelled for second consecutive year in IcelandEnglish151·2 months agoExcept for musquitos. They’re fair game.
Lord of the rings is a great book series.
I’m very fond of scifi, the old man war series is a very fun and smooth series to read. I like to recommend it to ppl that want to read a longer, but easy to digest series.
If you like scifi in general, you can’t go wrong by picking any random nebula award winner. It’s what I’ve done these past few years. Can’t say I’ve regretted it this far.
You’ll have plenty time to read amazing books now that you don’t have to waste your time in church, reading the Bible and thinking about skydaddy. Welcome to freedom!
Firipu@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?11·2 months agoExcept for the assassination of Abe, which was a resounding success by any measure. The perp got everything he wanted and more.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?81·3 months agoI agree with the first one. Everyone should be able to love any adult in any way shape or form they want with consent of all involved parties.
But the the relatives one runs into issues with abuse and clear voluntary consent. Grooming is an actual thing, and a much bigger potential risk if the groomer is raising you from your infancy. I would add the caveat if you really want to make it acceptable, it should only be allowed between people of the same generation, and only when they’re well into adulthood.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?11·3 months agoHow would you deal with violent crimes (murder, rape, abuse, things that are considered morally reprehensible by most people, regardless of religion and affiliation) without a penal system? Mob punishment?
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?English1·3 months agoYeah, nothing beats parsec tbh.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?English3·3 months agoFor how I use my pc, everything just works. To give you a counter argument. My logitech devices just work out of the box on windows. For Linux I had to get a little specific tool. Also try installing Japanese language input on Linux. Compare how much simpler it is on windows. Linux is NOT simpler than windows in all situations. Maybe your own research methods are flawed?
I game, manage my NAS (truenas running jellyfish for media etc) , sail the high seas, and browse on my pc. I also remote into a small spare mini pc running Ubuntu server with a minecraft server on it. (Could’ve ran the server on windows, but wanted to tinker with Linux to learn)
It all works flawless.
Also, give me a Linux alternative for parsec that just works as well for remote gaming, both from other desktop devices as from a mobile devices.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?English11·3 months agoI use popOS. Windows is still simpler
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Games@lemmy.world•6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?English134·3 months agoI run Linux on a small mini pc for some casual browsing.
I run windows on my main pc.
As long as some kernel anticheat (fortnite, cod, etc…) doesn’t run on Linux, I won’t be swapping.
30+y of windows use also makes me infinitely more comfortable with windows. All the complaints I always read about are totally moot for me (I understand the issue of privacy in windows. It’s the price I pay to have an OS that “just works” for me) .
While I enjoy tinkering, Linux is a royal PITA to use if you’re not used to it. I spend hours trying to figure out how to fix something that takes me 5m max in windows. I understand it’s a more a me than a Linux problem. But I’m certain many people struggle with the same things.
Firipu@startrek.websiteto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If United States invaded Greenland, would the other NATO countries be obliged to defend it?41·3 months agoPrayers and likes is assistance right?
Heavily modified vivaldi. Vertical tabs on the left side. Side panels with often used tools. Autohiding UI, pop-out links. I cannot live without native mouse gestures and the Vivaldi speed dial. Opera also offers it, but that browser is unfortunately a shell of what it was.
Zen browser as a semi backup.
I tried using zen as my main browser for a month, but I ended up going back to Vivaldi. It’s just so much better.
