This is stunning!

It’s also an incredibly curious phenomenon that if you turn your camera just a few degrees you get an entirely different picture of Saitama 😁

Sweet!

This dude rocks! Not only are they good and dressed like a toon, but they have no shame and keep one-upping themselves going faster and faster!

This time is as good as any to cite Maroon 5’s “payphone” and link to its gloriously dumb video, which I contend being in the top 10 dumbest videos ever (I don’t want to claim it’s got the top spot, since maybe there are other gems I am ignoring)

Edit: grammar

I stopped using Windows in 2008 (juggling between a mixture of Linux and Mac OS). One of the reasons, is that at that time I thought Windows was legitimately a mess.

Over time, I thought it got a bit better when seeing it on friends’s computers.

Due to laziness, Windows 11 got installed on my office computer (which I use 1% of my time) and I thought it was honestly pretty good (as in, I never thought about switching back, but it was fine to use it when necessary).

Now that they plug in ads, I’ll certainly want to switch back /s

Ah, wow. So some exams are happening online, even though classes are in person! There goes a combination I had not thought about. It is annoying to still need Respondus though, even if I understand why

Interesting (and annoying). I imagined that most exams went back to the usual pen and paper or laboratory, but there were tests written on laptops and in class long before the pandemic. I had forgotten about those!

Wait, are universities still using Respondus?

I feel for you. It was used a lot during the beginning of the pandemic, but I thought it was dropped by now.

I’ve had the pleasure (?) To eat KFC in the US and in Europe. Besides the fact that it was junk food either way, the European version was just so much better.

I can believe that in its distant origins, KFC was actually tasty, but right now I’d sooner enjoy being punched in the stomach than eating there (a similar statement is true by replacing KFC with McDonald’s or Burger King or several other fast food chains, though for only these three I’ve tried both US and EU versions of these products)

Well, I’m sure you can buy delicious fried chicken elsewhere at a local joint (those people won’t block your ads)!

You look great while going to work!

… BTW what is it that you do for life? Hunting bounties?

This is beautiful and reminds me of my trips there and of the shotengai’s (shopping arcades, sometimes covered)

Not sure why you’re being down voted

Wonderful!

Now you’re thinking with portals

This is really nice, thank you!

OT but related to the discussion: is there a way to track if and how the fediverse is increasing?

I looked on Wikipedia and it said it’s just about ~67000 users on Lemmy VS ~52 million users on Reddit.

I’m spending most of my time on my phone on Lemmy (and about 5 mins on Reddit) every day now, but it would be awesome to be slowly attracting more users from Reddit over time.

Sure, it’s better to be fewer users if it does lead to more quality conversations (which is what I find so far), but the fediverse still needs to grow!

Edit: fixed grammar and clarity in the last sentence.
