Yep, but you can’t get all DLC any more, its absolutely worth it, still, but I just wanted to let people know

Forza Horizon 4 is my favourite, 5 is mostly meh.

Then we have Beamng, that is increadible

Come on, it’s not his fault, if Quark just bought better spatulas it would be fine

I will never forget when I had to help a coworker with her laptop, she had long nails that had worn grooves in her keyboard keys.

She typed on her nails, the sound it made was terrible.

Here you go!

Cropped it to 16:9 and resized it to 1920x1080

As for the file size, the original JPG of this out of the camera was only about 8MB, but the raw file is 34MB

The originals are in the 10-15MB range as JPGs, and are about 21 megapixels large, do you really need that large images for your desktop?

I can try and resize photo for your resolution if that would help

Tackar!

Just a quick note, if you look at the overhead wires, you can see a small white spot, that is an arc flash between the pantograph and the wires, I don’t know why it is there, it usually happens when there is an interruption of the power connection, between the wire and the pantograph, it is common during winter when ice forms on the wire, but not that common during summer/late summer.

Correct, which is why I regretted posting it as soon as i did.

It looks deleted to me, I am using Voyager when I am on my phone, so a well known app, I suspect that the comment I wrote made it to the sync queue, I then immediately deleted the comment, which deleted it on lemmy.zip but didn’t clear the comment from the sync queue, but did generate a delete request to be synced.

Then as a sync request probably would be smaller than a comment and probably has a higher priority than a comment, it got processed before the comment was posted, creating the situation we have.

I have no indepth understanding of lemmy, but as an IT guy, this makes sense

Exactly, which is why I deleted the comment just after I made it as I realized I didn’t have the energy to debate the issue

I am confused, this is the second reply I get on a comment I deleted just after posting it.

I did so as I realized that I didn’t have the energy to debate my smartphone preference with random people online

This misses the point completely, I have tried both Android and iOS in the last five years, and to me iOS is just better, it works like I want it to.

A token?

It is insane that any internet banking portal still uses a static password.

I don’t have a lot of crazy stories, but I have one unusual story.

I got to go take a private train with my dad.

We had one first class car and one locomotive.

My dad worked in the train industry, he sold equiment used for railroads.

He called me one day and asked if I wanted to ride a private train, I had time so I gave the only apropriate answer, “yes”.

So after having worked a night shift I slept far too little, got on the train to the city my dad was in to ride the private train back.

He was doing a demo of his company’s equipment and had arranged for them to use a private train, I just joined him on the journey to our city as a fun and interesting experience.

What?

Great argument!

THE solution is not to buy the wife an Android, that is ONE solution.

In total, there are a few solutions, I number them to make it easier to refer to them, not to order them from best to worst.

1. Get yourself an iPhone
2. Get your wife an Android
3. Wait for iOS 18
4. Switch to a messaging app like Element or Signal.

1 and 2: Unless you yourself can accept switching to using the other system, it is unfair to demand that the other part does that.

I have tried to switch to Android, I did it back in 2019, but I just disliked the feel of the OS enough that after dropping my phone and smashing the screen after 2-3 months, I didn’t even bother to get it fixed, I just moved back to my iPhone.

3. iOS 18 will have RCS, and will probably solve this.

I used to run a Mumble server at home on an RPi, the sound was way better than Discord, but I didn’t like how it made my IP appear on shodan, I also didn’t like needing to keep it updated.

I work in IT, I don’t want to work at home.

So I moved to using Steam, but due to network issues on my end that didn’t work, so we moved to Discord.
