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.

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

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.

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

This immediately made me think of Scythe, and sure enough, he did the art. Fantastic.

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.

Ein Freund von mir hat Zombie Teenz Evolution mit seiner 7-Jähriger Tochter gespielt, und sie hat es genossen. Es gibt auch Zombie Kidz Evolution, das auf jüngere Kinder abgezielt werden soll.

Die zwei sind Legacy Spiele, was heißt, dass man es mehrmals spielt, und neue Fähigkeiten oder Charactere entdeckt, oder das Brett irgendwie ändert, zB mit neuen Stickern, die Orte ändern.

When I was starting to learn German, I found it quite intimidating, but once I started having a grasp of the language, I found it actually pretty easy. The trick is just being able to recognize the subwords. Take a word like Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung: once you know Arbeit and Schein, it already starts being easier to see the meaning.

Interessant: Ich habe immer an diese Situation gedschty als jemand der die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft beantragen will. Aber ich glaube du hast Recht und es wird ermöglichen, dass Deutsche im Ausland auch einen ausländischen Pass beantragen dürfen, ohne die deutsche Staatsbürgeeschaft zu verlieren.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Ja, das ist natürlich eine echte Sorge von mir. Ich habe irgendetwas gelesen, dass irgendjemand wollte, dass es in der Zukunft möglich sein soll, die Staatsbürgerschaft von Eingebürgererten wieder wegzunehmen. Aber ich glaube das wurde abgelehnt.

Have you ever read the book Elantris? It sounds very not fun.

 

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!

 

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?

 

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?

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.

 

So, yesterday I broke my dominant arm. Yay! For the next 6 weeks, I have a cast, and at least for now, I can't use my right hand or arm at all (I am typing this with my left hand).

I'm looking for suggestions what I can play. Some thoughts:

  1. On PC, of couse
  2. Can be played only with the keyboard
  3. No time limits or need to respond quickly (e.g. many RTSes)
  4. I like puzzle games, RPGs, and good storytelling. I want to like sim games, but haven't yet found one that I love.
  5. Nothing too difficult

Here's a link to my Steam profile, if that helps: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198028619119/games/?tab=all

Thank you all for any advice!

 

Like it says, I took the Einbürgerungstest this past weekend. The questions are a mix of things that feel pretty obvious (which war lasted from 1939-1945) and things that require memorization (Which chancellor was responsible for the Ostverträge?). In a lot of ways, it feels like another language exam: if you understand German well enough to understand the questions, you can probably pass.

We officially had an hour, but I was done within 8 minutes, and I wasn't the first :).

One step closer to citizenship!

 

I'm seeing them tomorrow in Munich, and I'm really looking forward to it. How's the opening act, Gunnar? The bit I listened to on Spotify felt very different from The Hu, and I have to admit, I wasn't too excited.
