How does renouncing citizenship work? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm working on some outdated memories, but IIRC:

Germany allows dual citizenship now, but used to not allow it in most cases. In those cases, if you applied for German citizenship, you had to express that you were willing to give up your old citizenship. Once you were granted citizenship, you had a certain amount of time (two years?) to show a certificate that you renounced your old citizenship. If you didn't, your German citizenship would be revoked.

The only one I really remember is Trogdor, but in order to keep it in my heart, I am a proud owner of Trogdor!!: The Boardgame

Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? in c/patientgamers

I finished Dave the Diver a few weeks ago, and I really enjoyed it. For me, it hit this sweet spot of "Remember where everything is and grind the same thing over and over" without getting boring.

How to make Machi Koro more "fair"? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks for that link! That does seem very similar to what I read about in Machi Koro 2, and I think we will definitely try it the next time we play.

How to make Machi Koro more "fair"? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I just played a round of Machi Koro with a friend, and at a certain point, he was far behind. He didn't have many buildings that grant money on other people's turns, and the rest of us had also purchased a lot more red buildings than him.

I'm looking for ideas of house rules that make help provide some sort of catch-up mechanism if you're far behind. Do any of you have any tips?

If it matters, we usually play with the Harbor expansion, but are willing to play without it as well. We're already considering it because of how extreme the Tuna Boat can be.

Are there any games you're planning to pick up during the Steam and GOG sales? in c/patientgamers
[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution for 2.99€ and I've been enjoying it. I've always heard good things about the series, but never tried it before. Definitely feeling that Cyberpunk had some inspiration from Deus Ex.

I also bought Firewatch for 4.99€ and beat it in a day. I wasn't spoiled about the story, but I had read a bit about it. At the end of the day, I'm glad I played it, but I'm not sure that I would necessarily recommend it.

Why do passports need to be signed to be valid? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

That is a crazy process. But I'm happy that you were somehow able to get a new passport :).

Why do passports need to be signed to be valid? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I do not know if it's true for all countries, but at least the USA and the UK require your passport to be signed to be valid. And I know that when I fly, I sometimes get checked if it is signed.

Is there a practical reason for this? Does the signature get checked against anything? Or is it simply that the law says a passport must be signed to be valid, so there you go?

I googled around a bit, but only found resources on how to sign, but not why it needs to be signed.

Thank you Internet hive mind!

Have you watched the show? The game is not for me, horrorness being a part of the reason, but the show was very well done.

To all evil-mode users, how do you work with vterm? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

My basic approach is: Esc works like in normal evil-mode, and takes me into vterm-copy-mode as well. Without doing that, I have C-w C-w remapped to move to another window, so I can switch to another window for all the rest of my keybindings. And I have C-Esc mapped to send Esc into the terminal itself.

I'm using evil-collection for the basic bindings, and I have my own custom stuff here: https://github.com/bricka/emacs.d/blob/main/init.el#L1054-L1073

Edit: Forgot C-Esc

Was kocht ihr mit Miso? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Ich habe vor einem Monat Miso wegen einer Idee gekauft, aber habe es nicht benutzt. Jetzt habe viel Miso, aber ich weiß nicht, was ich kochen soll.

Ich habe schon zweimal Miso Auberginen gemacht, aber der Misoschicht ist viel zu stark...ich liebe salzig und umami, aber es ist einfach zu viel.

Habt ihr irgendwelche tolle vegane oder vegetarische Ideen, wo der Miso ein bisschen weniger stark ist?

Danke!

Why can animals eat grass that they have pooped on, but humans would get sick? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

As far as I am aware, grazing animals like cows or sheep poop in the same meadows where they eat grass, but presumably don't have any problems eating the grass and pooping in the same space. But if humans would eat vegetables that they had pooped on, my understanding is that we would get sick.

Why? Am I incorrect that grazing animals poop where they eat? Are their stomachs more resistant to whatever makes it dangerous?

Thank you!

What popular vegan foods are you not a big fan of? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I do like a lot of meat alternatives, but I was at a restaurant a while back where they had a non-Beyond Meat veggie burger. And it was super good! I feel like it's becoming a lost art, though :(.

My dad is the opposite: he wants every restaurant to only offer Beyond Meat burgers. He loves them.

Hallo Leute!

Ich versuche anzufangen, als Tanzlehrer als Nebenjob zu arbeiten. Ich plane ziemlich wenig zu verdienen (weniger als 1000€ im Jahr), und ich suche einem:r Steuerberater:in, von wem ich Beratung bekommen kann, was ich machen muss. Ich habe Lohi kontaktiert, aber sie bieten nur Lohnsteuererklärungen an.

Kann jemand mir einen:r Steuerberater:in empehlen?

Vielen Dank!

Vote on new citizenship law tomorrow? (www.sueddeutsche.de)
 

I was reading this article in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, and saw this quote:

Diesen Freitag verabschiedet der Bundestag ein neues Staatsangehörigkeitsrecht, es soll die Einbürgerung erleichtern. Statt nach acht Jahren können Einwanderer künftig nach fünf Jahren einbürgern, bei besonderen Leistungen schon nach drei. Auch der Doppelpass wird erlaubt, nach jahrzehntelangem Kampf. Wer dauerhaft bleibt und sich anstrengt, soll das volle Wahlrecht bekommen und dazugehören. Das ist der Plan.

I've already passed my Citizenship Exam and am ready to go!

Schottischer Ceilidh am 18.11 im Hirschgarten (munichscottish.de)
 

An English post is below.

Ich hoffe es ist erlaubt: Mein schottischer Tanzverein bietet am 18.11 einen Ceilidh im Wirtshaus im Hirschgarten an. Ein Ceilidh ist eine schottische Tanzparty, und wir werden ganz viele Tänze machen, die für alle geeignet sind. Alle Tänze werden gezeigt und erklärt, und es gibt auch die Möglichkeit, eine schöne Whiskyflasche zu gewinnen.

Falls jemand Fragen hat, sag einfach Bescheid. Und vielleicht sehen wir ein paar von euch dort!

I hope this allowed here: my Scottish dance Verein is hosting a ceilidh in the Wirtshaus in Hirschgarten on the 18th of November. A ceilidh is a Scottish dance party, and we will do lots of dancing, which is appropriate for everyone: no experience necessary. All dances will be shown and explained, and there will even be the chance to win a nice bottle of whisky.

If anyone has questions, just say so :). And maybe we'll see some of you there!

Changelog when I update with straight.el? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Hello folks! I'm using straight.el for my package management, but one thing that I'm missing is some sort of easy way to see what's changed, when I do a straight-pull-all. Ideally, I could see which packages that I explicitly have a dependency on have changed, and see either a changelog or a list of commits.

Does anyone know if something like this already exists?

Thanks!

What does it mean to "get low" or "drop it down"? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Please forgive me...I'm over 30 and was never a clubber.

In a number of songs, women "get low". In "Low":

Shawty got low low low low low low low low

In "Belly Dancer", they drop down and touch the ground;

Hey, ladies drop it down, just want to see you touch the ground

...

You ain't even gotta drop down if you want to

What activity is being described here? What are these women doing?

Science Fiction oder Fantasie Empfehlungen ursprünglich auf Deutsch (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Hallo alle! Ich versuche mein Deutsch zu verbessern, und obwohl ich mehr oder weniger fließend sprechen kann (zwischen C1/C2), ich lese selten Bücher auf Deutsch. Also ich suche nach Empfehlungen! Und nachdem ich ein paar...weniger tolle Übersetzungen gelesen habe, würde ich gern ein paar Bücher lesen, die von einem deutschsprachigen Autor auf Deutsch geschrieben wurden.

Ich lese hauptsächlich Science Fiction und Fantasie, aber ich mag auch andere gute Geschichten. Leider habe ich keine Erfolg mit Markus Heitz gehabt, also lieber nichts von ihm.

Ein paar englische Bücher, die ich gut gefunden habe:

  • Alles von Alastair Reynolds
  • Alles von Brandon Sanderson
  • N.K. Jemisin
  • Octavia Butler

Ich habe nicht zu viele deutschsprachige Bücher für Erwachsener gelesen, aber ein paar die ich genossen habe sind:

  • Die Stadt der träumenden Bücher
  • Der Schwarm

Könnte jemand hier mir etwas empfehlen?

Calling and SMS via Data (Google Voice Alternative?) (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
14 comments fedilink
 

Hi all! I'm looking for a service where I can port my phone number, and then make and receive phone calls and SMS, all over data, not cell service. My particular use case is that I live in Germany, but I still have a US phone number, and occasionally need to receive SMSes or phone calls on that number.

I am aware that Google Voice offers this service, but as you can probably guess given that I'm here, I am unwilling to use it :). I saw JMP here: https://lemmy.world/post/1033514, but TBH, I don't think that it will give me the experience that I'm looking for, given that it seems to translate everything back to generic Jabber.

Edit: Thank you all for the suggestions! I have decided to go with VoIP.ms: I tested it today, and am working on transferring my number to them now.
