How? They orbit quite a lot higher than the highest clouds.

Highest clouds are like 70-90km. Starlink Sats are 500km+

Why do you write like an orc? Is there an rpg reason for this? Or is this something personal I am totally missing?

"I" is gender neutral no?

As for your actual question, steam is insanely flexible with refunds, but you're pushing it with a request 7.5months after the generous 14days.

Because the entire language is a fucking exception

Man, this should also be a thing for humans. Seeing my grandmother deteriote very slowly is just painful. She wants it to end, we want it to end seeing her deaf, borderline blind and slowly turning incontinent, but her very old body just keeps going on and on without needing long term medical care. Should be part of human rights, dying on your own terms (without having to resort to violence, eg suicide)

This shit always comes up. Japanese schools also have janitors and ppl that clean the schools. The kids also have to clean regularly, but it's not as if the entire school is only cleaned by kids. They just have to wipe floors after lunch and once a semester do a big cleanup. Toilet cleaning is phasing out entirely. That used to be a thing, but less and less so nowadays. They are ofcourse teaching respect etc, but that doesn't mean that kids don't just throw their shit on the ground or clean up stuff better. They do it because they have to and they don't give a fuck about the why. Most of them absolutely hate it.

Let's not mention all the other fucked up things in the japanese school system that makes it far from an example to strive for tbh. They're only now starting to tackle social issues that were tackled in the 80/90s in the west, not to mention the parrot 100% rather than understand even of a sliver of why or think critically or for yourself way of teaching that is only now veeeeeeeery slowly starting to phase out.

But Japan is this perfect utopia according to the internet... So I guess they'll keep regurgitating this cleaning tidbit until eternity.

Try it out. It's a sidebar that allows you to put all kinds of websites and tools in small pop-out windows.

A less visually appealing, but much more powerful version of the opera chat sidebar.

I've tried to get something similar in Firefox, but nothing comes even close.

Built-in functions >>> addons any day of the week.

(cfr mouse gestures)

  • Proprietary, yes, from a Foss pov it's not good I guess

  • Owned by ex opera ppl: that's a good thing tbh. Old opera was fantastic. New opera is more fishy after they were acquired by a Chinese group.

There is a lot of browser love in Vivaldi tbh. They are very open and transparent. Haven't found a single red flag about Vivaldi (aside from not being FOSS, which for me isn't a red flag per se)

They even run their own Mastodon servers for their community ;)

I don't use brave, but I use Vivaldi.

The main reason for me is native mouse gestures. They are so much better than addon mouse gestures.

And speed dials. Addon ones are okayish, but I prefer the Vivaldi implementation.

If Firefox would ever ass native mouse gestures, I would swap in an instant. Until then, no can do :(

I would love an iPad Mini running android. Theres basically no high end android tablet in that size factor, but I won't use fucking IOS just to get my favo form factor. iOS is so neutered and unpractical in comparison to android. It's so weird that iOS became so popular to me... It's still stuck 10y ago in like 90% of its os design ideas.

There's not enough thin 10 inch laptops on the market. I'd love to have a simple affordable one without 2010 bezels...
