Jackolantern, in "Progress"

Why is there open and close quotations? Isn’t this progress?

marmo7ade,

BMW sold 10% more cars than the year before.

This is change. Progress is subjective.

Ryctre,

…what?

What’s with that?

Because when the word “progress” is used, it is usually a loaded term with some specific connotations. The quotes indicate this is a reference to the word “progress”, not a use of the word “progress”, and it’s intended to draw your attention to the fact that this change, while clearly a positive and desirable one, contrasts strongly with what is usually meant when a person says it.

flyte,

Nice explanation, jerkface

I totally puked a litre of concentrated grape juice in that hot park in 1999.

Guess whose German wasn’t nearly as awesome as they thought it was…

Look at all the people enjoying the waterfront now. It’s a beautiful sight to see.

That place found its humanity again.

    I don’t care what you think, but cutting more trees in favor of streets is just never a good idea in this day and age.

    thisNotMyName,

    Yeah, it will probably work out if all 1.4 billion people all drive alone in a car, occupying at least 15m² each. Needs one more lane, but then traffic will be solved!

    kicksystem,

    You don’t need more roads, you need better quality ones :)

    Why more roads?

    Zkuld, in I download G HUB while my VPN set to JP and it downloaded Logicool instead of Logitech

    Best of luck with this terrible piece of software. Let us know if the Japanese version is any better.

    Twofacetony,

    I installed G-HUB the other week, and my only annoyance with it so far was the amount of times it informed me of the mouse DPI settings. Thankfully that was easy enough to turn off, but what other things about it are troublesome?

    I don’t really care for profiles, or RGB settings… is it bad in other ways? (Genuinely curious, not meaning to sound snarky)

    Virkkunen,
    @Virkkunen@kbin.social avatar

    GHUB likes to wipe my keybinds and onboard settings every few weeks for no reason, and then sometimes it just completely refuses to open, so I have to reinstall the program just so I can reconfigure everything again.

    Akip,

    Exact same thing happened to me, but not since I switched to the onboard memory manager. Do you need the profile switches for games, if not its easy.

    Virkkunen,
    @Virkkunen@kbin.social avatar

    I might try it out. To be fair the only use GHUB for the Discord Mute action, which is like a special key, but that's easily worked around

    BehindTheBarrier,

    Imagine having set up keybind for our mouse, ND then the game updates and creates a new executable or two somewhere else, and no matter what you do, it never recognizes the game ever again. So no more keybind, and the only way to fix would be to set up a profile and disabled the auto switch running all other games and profiles you have…

    That’s my experience with ghub, otherwise apart from clunky unintuitive ui, it at least worked.

    (the game is rainbow six siege by the way, haven’t been able to use a profile in that game all year. Part of the blame is naturally that siege does things very shitty when you can include like 5 different executables that are run)

    I had trouble with my Logi G935 Headset. Whenever I muted myself by flipping the mic up, I couldn’t unmute ever again. Had to replug the receiver. Once I uninstalled G-Hub I noticed the mic immediately unmuting. Now it works without any problems.

    I could even reactivate the Virtual Surround Sound by installing the respective audio software (DTS:X Headphones iirc).

    Since then I have migrated to a dedicated Wired Headphone/Microphone Setup, which works flawlessly (and sounds way better).

    Khanzarate,

    Cooler, at least. Maybe not better.

    smellythief,

    Autonomous cats are now common in a couple of cities. No reason to think it won’t expand to more. Why not LA?

    Etwas. Is aber echt. Ist ganz hübsch dort

    Lobohobo,

    Die Farben sehen wegen der Abendsonne und der benutzten Kamera echt ein bisschen so aus, aber die Rheinpromenade ist echt sehr schön.

    sabaku_no_gaara,

    This guy said something photoshop related in German and I hope it is not a photoshop

    Cozy,

    He said it looks like it’s photoshop and not real, but it is real, it’s just the weird lighting that makes it look like it. (Hope you wanted a real answer and your comment wasn’t just joking, couldn’t tell)

    Akip, in I download G HUB while my VPN set to JP and it downloaded Logicool instead of Logitech

    shoutout to the logitech Onboard Memory Manager which I found better than ghub because you can uninstall it after setting up the mouse

    Why scare quotes? I lived in Düsseldorf back in '90 (go alts - that was the name of my school team, and yes it was sponsored by Alt bier 🍺… different times), it’s always been one of Germany’s more clean cut, upmarket cities, but this picture makes me want to go back and check it out again.

    Then again, I’m a queer transfem and I’m in BERLIN, THE QUEER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. Düsseldorf is in the last instance just meh.

    reev,

    Cologne is pretty gay and not far away. Come by during CSD!

    Why not visit Hamburg? It’s like a cool version of Berlin

    Phoebe,

    I grew up next to Düsseldorf. I freaking love this city. Wouldn’t it be so expensiv i would live there.

    Because it is a magnet for anime fans, i early came in contact with queerness and different worldviews. Düsseldorf still has a big connection to art and due to figures like Joseph Beuys the art community is still pretty progressive. I went to university there and the campus had a progressiv Atmosphere there as well.

    But on the other side the city is full of rich and conservativ people. A weird contrast. I would say Düsseldorf is educated while cologne is more open and welcoming.

    omgarm, in Was looking for the year in this and I guess I found it...?

    Rumor has it that 1984 was based on this documentary.

    Screwthehole,

    I can’t help imagine the hippies writing this like, yeah it’s called Google and we know it’s evil
