@mur2501 Well, I find it a weird video. A large part of the video it is like

'We usually look at the GINI coefficient. But the Dutchies have a different way of doing things, so this GINI coefficient can't be used to actually show how inequal they are. Here are examples 1 and 2.'

And then at the end it gives a list of scores with categories that didn't get highlighted at all in the video. And the GINI thingy gets nicely ignored.

And then the Netherlands ended up with a seemingly decent score and that's it.

So what have I learned from the video?

GINI thingy sucks. You can't summarize a thing via just numbers.

The Netherlands has some nice pictures in the video.

The Netherlands is a pretty damn nice place to live in.

The Netherlands' score can be summarized with some numbers. Just not GINI, that's all!

I'm so confused. :P

@skyblond At least the Java edition has the best modpacks in my opinion. So totally worth it even though it's not the best language.

@academicalnerd You can't expect everybody to host their own servers though. Thankfully you don't need to do that to degoogle.

@Novimatrem MmmmMMm nice. I had cereal. (Yoghurt with corn flakes).

@akshay47 No problem! Learn something every day! If you're somewhat familiar with Twitter, this is quite similar. If not, no worries! You can always ask! I got notification for this response fine now. :)

I'm playing on a Minecraft server with a bunch of good friends. My buddy wants to dig a tunnel to my place and create a train connection. Doesn't matter that he's about 5000 blocks away, he's gonna do it anyway.

So I decided to build a perron (station platform) for his arrival. I know where his point of entry is, let's see if he's as good at maths as I am. ;) I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and for now it's good enough.

As soon as I unlock more stuff, I might upgrade bits here and there at this perron. For example... a real wide monitor with a large scrolling text of my station name is certainly a possibility. A large monitor with the current time and destinations is another. Just a li'l bit of LUA programming there. ;)

@rlamacraft That is kinda weird as I understand there are alternatives to the escape key, especially in vim.

@marathon He's on the 2nd tab, and a few subjects down in the navigation list.

@rlamacraft I agree, they could've squished some things together. No reason to have that much whitespace in pages that's supposed to be filled with information.

@marathon Ah okay. Wonder if it is this server or that server causing the issue.

@freemo Just curious if you could take a peek at it? The embedded video can't be played as embedded here.

@marathon Mmm, dno't think so. The URL itself works, the embed doesn't. Did you try to use the embed?

@marathon Yeah, that site did load here, just not that specific video address in the url. Oh well, I'll just chalk it up to browser oddities then!

@marathon I use Vivaldi if that matters. Chromium-based.

@marathon Funny, back on the PC and it doesn't work. Must be something in desktop browser or whatever. Image below to show that I'm not (that much) insane. ;)

@marathon
On mobile now as well, video does work. I'll recheck pc again when I get back to it.

Aww, that koala is getting spoiled there!

@freemo And then we breathe through the gaps at the sides... 🙄
