In Mallorca I saw a playground. This playground had no trees around whatsoever. There was no possibility to be any shadow anywhere on this playground. And in the center, there was the highlight. A slide. A metal slide. Just standing there in broad daylight, no chance of ever getting any shade. This is where kids lost their bums.

Edit: found it

When I was in Serbia, that was the standard way to get them served.

There was this one guy who stole cars, drank, had his own clique and was kind of an anti-hero among us smaller kids. He didn’t care what the teachers said, even the principal couldn’t do anything. They all skated, had bikes, hung out at the local halfpipe. They smoked cigarettes on the school property behind the trash containers. They were prohibited from entering any type of festive the school hosted but always ended up being there and drunk. He sold cigarettes to minors, while being a minor himself. Gosh we had so many papers talking about lost cars, stolen cars, wrecked cars etc.

When he finished school and immediately got a job you didn’t hear anything from him anymore. Now he has a wife, kids and a house.

He literally was that one rebellious kid from the movies who got his shit together.

All that happened before 2007, and now I feel old. Thank you.

Upfront cost of harvesting organs is lower than the long time cost of keeping them alive.

There’s also women who can not orgasm by in-and-out movements (like: the act of fucking) and it just hurts them after a while. Had to find that out the hard way.

This just makes me angry. You need to write comments and get likes before you’re able to make posts. Most of the posts in that community could pass as boomer-Facebook-posts from what I’ve seen. The quality definitely went more downhill than Tony Hawk‘s Downhill Jam.

But I’ll post my question here: what’s your pre-apocalypse game gems?

New to mastodon, never used Twitter, refuse to use Xitter. Any tips and who and what to follow? And who and what do you follow?

Edit: thank you all for your responses! I’ll definitely check out the accounts you suggested! Looking through hashtags I like and popular ones sounds like a great addition!

A Dock for Mac and Windows (self.apple_enthusiast)
 

The UDS033 from tobenone.com is is pretty amazing when using windows for work at home and a MacBook Air privately. Some annoyances exist, like having to plug the HDMI-HDMI and DP-HDMI cables from port 1 and 2 for Mac down to 4 and 4 for Windows whenever I switch devices. I got around that by getting a set of HDMI-VGA and DP-VGA cables. I encountered a problem where I could not transfer my 80 GB PS2 Dumps onto an external SSD, I got around that by plugging the SSD directly into the Mac. VMs and emulators via the external SSD work fine! It‘s a pretty solid addition to my workspace, can recommend!

 

My company is very concerned about security, which means that even the Windows we use is so heavily modified it makes any Arch-user jealous. Nevertheless we have the possibility to work from home. I have a full Apple setup for myself, even the TobenOne UDS033 dock to use 2 external monitors with my MacBook Air M1 (works like a charm btw). But here is the problem: the laptop has no Bluetooth. No Bluetooth mouse, no Bluetooth keyboard, nothing. The mouse is no problem since I use my trusty wired gaming mouse from 2014. My problem is the keyboard. I have not found a single one that is primarily for Mac and also happens to work on Windows, yet works wired as well.

I have read that Apple‘s Magic Keyboard works wired on Windows, can anyone confirm this? The rest of the internet is not very helpful.

If I receive an email on my Mac, then the email address that received it is written out as "To:" So I can distinguish between Gmail and Outlook.

But the mail app on my phone only shows that it is for me "To: FinancesDrone" which is annoying. Is there a possibility to change that?

 

I have an unlimited 5G plan with 400 Mbit/s on my phone and have to use an external source to update my watch?

M1: the normal one (self.apple_enthusiast)

Hello!

I’m about to get an M1 MacBook. I’ve got the choice between a $€£ 650 M1 Air and a $€£ 750 M1 Pro. My research concluded: they’re the same but the Pro has a little bit more beef when it comes to exporting videos.

So far I’m thinking to get the Pro, because I might need 2 external monitors someday, but I make this post because I think that people here have been using the devices for longer than reviewers.

What’s your opinion to those devices?

Edit:

Okay, they’re about the same, so I’d‘ve gone for the MacBook Air M1. BUT: since I scoured the internet ever since I’ve found a MacBook Air M1 with 16 GB of RAM for 800. And Papa knows that this is more good.
