Whelp, always fun when mods are so buggy that you can't go play the game anymore. :P
I guess I'll have to do some other things until friend comes back so he can update the MC server to a newer version which hopefully has fixed those bugs.

@academicalnerd You can eat healthy and still eat too much, though. Healthy eating in moderation is probably better.

That said, I definitely need to exercise more. :P

@Josefine You sure about the hardware being produced in Germany? I bet a lot of components come from Asia.

@JonathanMBR Looks like they're half-drowning themselves for about 9 months then!

@doliu666 I can totally relate with the pretty part, but it has to work well too!

@requiem Interesting goals. Scots Gaelic and Hebrew don't strike me as the usual languages people would pick up just cause. Most common I saw is German, French and Spanish. Japanese, Chinese, and Russian would probably not be that far out either. Scots Gaelic seems oddly specific. Any particular reason you're going for those? Mind you, just curious here. Not criticizing. :) Are you planning to go read a lot of material in those languages?

Generally speaking you're required to learn 2 foreign languages at our highschools. English is pretty damn common, so you'll see almost every Dutchie capable of communicating in English. The rest.. varies. French and German are the most common second foreign languages I suppose. I believe German is on the rise currently.

@requiem I switch between English and Dutch fluently, yeah. Have you never learned a foreign language before? I can't really imagine living monolingually.

@feld We already know people don't read, least of all those warnings. The poor helpdesks would get swamped with screaming banshees shrieking that 'their software won't work!'. ;)

@requiem It depends on what language I'm thinking in/communicating with. If I think in English, I'd prefer to sign in ASL. If I think in Dutch, NGT would be a better fit.

@requiem I wouldn't trust Twitter with my real name either. Come to think of it, I don't trust any internet services with my real name. The only online services knowing my real name are services tied to a real life service. The power company's website certainly knows my name, for example. 😋

I guess there might be a bit more to Twitter than I thought. But... you said they post job openings and such, and that's actually part of what I mean with live updates of companies/instances. ;) It's useful for that, hopefully with a link to some trusty site with more information though.

And when I did learn sign language.. mm. I would say I started learning NGT at age 11 or so. I mean, that's the time I started transitioning to a deaf school.
ASL I learned around age 17. That was the time I enrolled into a certain American deaf university.
I guess it.. uh.. came naturally to me. 😋

@requiem Interesting, I didn't realize that academics have gone with the social media trend. I'd have expected more along the lines of uh... maybe some personal blogs, or posting in scientific sites or so. I didn't find a lot of quality on Twitter, so not sure why people expect you to post there for the academics. It's more useful for live updates from companies. Or to contact their customer support.

And yeah, I know American Sign Language (ASL) and Dutch Sign Language (NGT). I even can understand International Sign. So, yeah, I guess I do know some sign languages. ;)

@zleap pleroma.site, along with pleroma.fr, and mastodon.host, and probably a few others, have been down since end of november. That's probably why he can't post from that account so far. (That's also why I moved to here)

@schestowitz

@mur2501 Guess he's one of those who has to see the casualties in person first before realizing it is not a joke.

Spotted the latest release of Suske & Wiske at the supermarket and bought it. I'm going to read it now, all snuggled up near the window in the sunshine! 😊

@doliu666 Lol, 'it works like shit but it is pretty!' is a very weird priority there. 😋

@doliu666 The switching to current I would find a lot more useful as well.
