Oh wow, thats incredible! Looks like I have my Sunday project now.

It's the same in Russian. "Людоед" which is literally "people-eater" is the more common word.

I would agree, clothes have never really affected me. I did a 150 km ride around my city wearing jorts and a wind breaker.

I spent a part of my childhood in the extreme north, and you get used to it. Usually I wouldn't see the sun between mid December and late January. Winter just becomes a dark time, and you get used to the street lights. The first sunrise feels almost magical.

I am forced to use instagram, because that's all anyone my age uses to communicate. I'm in the process of setting up matrix bridge so that I can be done with that app.

This is not relevant, but I've been looking for a chair like this forever. Does anyone have any idea what it's called, or where I would find it?

Canada, specifically Alberta. I would say that it's better out east or on the coast, but housing over there is even worse than it is here.

I was recently on a group hike with a university club, and an Austrian exchange student kept talking about how good life in Austria is. He attends university for free, lives in a vibrant city with great public transit, and with affordable housing.

My city has unaffordable housing, shit transit, and an inept local government. We are staking our future on oil prices constantly going up. The last time oil prices dipped was catastrophic, with mass layoffs and unemployment in nearly every sector.

On top of this we are being hit extra hard by climate change. Last summer I couldn't go outside because of wildfire smoke, and this year is going to be even worse. Every year there's less and less water, to the point where year round drought seems like an inevitability. Our politicians are climate change deniers. The people who elect them couldn't care less, and cry about any measures taken to mitigate it's effects.

I don't want to be stuck paying $2000 a month for a studio apartment as the climate around me slowly degrades, and my politicians try their best to turn us into America.

A sizeable fraction of the students I've talked to about this has or is playing around with the idea of leaving. Austria is just the first country that came to mind, but I would take almost any EU country if the opportunity was offered.

In my experience the latency on Bluetooth mice and keyboards is so low that it doesn't matter. Most people who aren't playing in like the top 1% of their game should be fine.

I was really into skiing when I was younger, and would go every weekend with my buddy and his dad. I tried to outrun them, fell, and tumbled. My shoulder was very badly sprained, and I couldn't use it for like a month. Now from time to time it flares up again, and the pain comes back for a few hours. The shoulder is also much easier to sprain now, every time I fall it's out of commission for weeks. I went to my doctor, who told me that nothing is broken and there's nothing he can do about it.

I could be so much more efficient on a computer. One hand for the mouse, two hands in the standard typing position, and one hand on an external numpad. It would eliminate the need to ever move my hands. I want 4 hands now :(.

I think a lot of it has to do with age. I'm probably younger than the average Lemmy user, and for me Windows 10 is the sweet spot. The older versions just feel outdated. I think it depends on the first version we seriously used and learned on.
