Try Phuket or Mallorca.

Nothing at all. We were promised a comeback but it doesn’t seem to happen anymore.

Rick Moranis maybe

Well I was glad to finally earn over 2000 euros in Czechia, a salary I never achieved in the Netherlands. I don’t know anyone who earns over 4000. Averages are nonsense.

I’m just visiting the Algarve.

Luckily I found some store that had a free open wifi network (they had a server room so still had power). There were people lining up to use payphones (interestingly they still have them here).

Otherwise, no wifi, no data, no phone network, so no information on the whole situation. Can’t pay by card. Had a bag of chips for dinner because I can’t cook. Couldn’t book accommodation or a bus. Shops used pen, paper and calculator but took only cash. People barely have cash at hand and ATMs were out too.

I don’t know what I could’ve done without money if this would have lasted even longer.

Once, our classroom (early teens) had to get changed in a large, shared changing area for a swimming pool. One of those clingy volunteering mothers walked around, pointing out where we didn’t dry wel enough, touching, “helping” boys etc. But, she had two boys of her own and “there was nothing she hadn’t seen before”. Very uncomfortable.

Somehow I don’t think it would be accepted for me to walk into little girls changing saying “don’t worry, it’s nothing I haven’t seen before”.

Same for those cleaning ladies cleaning right behind me while taking a piss in a urinal. It feels weird.

Oh well, we’re just men, right? So who cares?

In many cases, you have to disable the privacy setting (hops) to be able to download anything. Probably because it still hasn’t attracted a lot of users.

They switched from a client application to a web interface in a recent update, which I’m not a fan of (mainly because I’m blocking right click hijacking in my browser).

It’s nice to add an extra layer of security, imo, but I wouldn’t rely on it completely if you’re in one of those countries where ISPs don’t respect your privacy.

If you’ve lived through covid, you would have seen that people just don’t give a fuck about sick and old people.

Considering there was another knife attack in the same town last January, it’s strange they don’t mention that but do mention terror attacks in other countries. But then an Asian news website may not be the best source for a relatively small incident in Europe.

I keep recommending Tribler and I don’t know why it’s not more popular. Anything wrong with it?

On winecfg you can try the checks on the Graphics tab, it shouldn’t break anything. Also, try to change the Windows version. Sometimes either XP or 7 work better. You’re right about it being c++, not sure which one I installed, maybe this one: https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist

Install the full Visual Studio runtime and try some different settings with winecfg. People recommend Lutris but for me it never made a difference

Probably there’s some motivation to be able to identify people who protest or people who don’t want to be filmed in public (especially with facial recognition technology becoming a reality).

But just say the law is there to annoy religious people and people will agree to a ban.

Does Lutris require some special setup?

Using fitgirl repacks are a bit hit and miss for me. But if they don’t work, Lutris doesn’t help.

I use a prepaid sim so I’d rather not use data when I don’t have to. Subscription is too expensive imo (half the price of home internet) and when do you really need internet outside the home anyway

Data costs money

“Less than 5 books” includes 0 books? Otherwise those stats are hard to believe.

I haven’t used it in a while but Aeroinsta was good and probably safe (despite their shady website). Gets rid of unnecessary stuff like ads and allows downloading.

It shouldn’t be needed but if you want extra privacy, you can try torsocks.
