Here they are discounted a lot, very often in the 40 euro range (new)

But 5 bucks discount is nothing, you can get so much better in other venues.

In Portugal we have a couple of these stores but I really don’t understand how they stay alive. I went there once with a sealed 60 euro, recent, game for a console I didn’t down. They offered me 15 euros and were selling used copies for 55 euros. Why on earth would I buy or sell for those prices?

We used to have GAME stores everywhere and they occasionally had really nice deals. I loves those stores, it’s a shame they went bankrupt.

If you try with a Tor browser you’ll get a unique ID everytime.

Or whatever website you prefer, really. Fingerprinting is not solved by a single extension or checkbox. It’s really hard.

• Go here: https://fingerprint.com/demo/
• Note your fingerprint ID
• Wait whatever time you want
• Try again
• It’s the same ID You can try to fool it with a VPN, change country, etc but it doesn’t work. Fingerprinting is very strong these days.

I’d upgrade if given the choice to do so. Lineage is stuck on Android 12 for my device so I guess that’s it.

It’s hard for me to believe that hunter / food seeker isn’t the oldest profession… But it’s definitely up there.

You misunderstood the sign. You can’t smoke the dog, the dog can do whatever the hell it wants. Smoking cigar is allowed, smoking barefeet dogs not allowed.

I miss some Reddit communities, to be honest. There are no communities here for most of my hobbies and that brings down my enjoyment of the platform. Most things that spark joy in my life are not here.

Another thing that has been bumming me out is that people are way more aggressive now. Lemmy was a very friendly and welcoming environment, even in the most toxic topics you could think of. Lately I find a lot of elitist comments where anyone that doesn’t have the same opinion or needs is objectively an idiot.

On the positive side, I switched to Linux because of Lemmy! And I’m (still) learning Rust!

That’s a very neat idea, to be honest. I hadn’t thought of that!

Unfortunately this doesn’t work in Portugal. Most sales people don’t have any sort of training in the products they sell and they are heavily pressured into selling services rather than products. Your budget is 200 euros? They’re going to try to suggest you a 100 euros product and then try to get you to buy extended warranty and/or insurance.

Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely start asking there!

The mechanical keyboard topic was just an example. Because I’m kinda into mechanical keyboards, I can instantly spot the obviously bad recommendations. If the topic was something like microphones or washing machines, I’d be toast.

I don’t know how you read my comment and concluded that I approve racism or homofobia. It’s these kind of comments that push people away.

Vegan and non vegans are are at the opposite extremes. One only eats meat, the other never eats meat. You can’t insult people into your way. No one wants to have a conversation with you when you just randomly accuse them of homofobia. In your future attempt try going easier and with baby steps. People are more likely to stop eating meat if they take it one step at a time. This ridiculous expectation that someone must change their lifestyle over night or they’re racists… This isn’t the way, statistically speaking. But alas, this is a pointless discussion because you already know this and just want to fight with a stranger on the internet. Have a nice day.

This is not how you get people to join your ideas, this is how you push them away further.

I wish it was more popular so more job offers would pop up :P

So? If a Java dev wants to learn Rust, they’ll make it. There are a lot of burned out Java devs wanting to move to something that feels new and exciting again.

What’s so surprising about that?

That’s a very liberal use of the word “objectively”.

The problem is that Russia has far more resources than Ukraine and they have an upper hand in this war. They do not wish to leave empty handed. As sad as it is, for peace to happen Ukraine is going to have to lose something.

Putin already said he doesn’t want peace when the opponent has a shortage of ammo so this discussion is irrelevant anyway.

I wish we did more for Ukraine, it’s deeply saddening to see the news :(
