Surprised to learn that there were windows based Supercomputers.

I’d also have a look at Darktable.

Man, I wish he’d leave the communication to someone else. He is so, so bad at it. And this isn’t the first time

The way he attacks critics puts himself in a bad light. But much more importantly, I read this and am still unsure if he has administrative/legal reason, security reasons or political reasons…

If I’d work in Russian propaganda, I’d love this so much. Hope this will not cause disruption in the community.

The problem with this line of thought is that oftentimes cars then will just be parked wildly (or on adjacent areas) and that can lead to large problems. A traffic concept is almost always a basic neccesity. I agree that this must not necessarily be a car optimized one (and in these times probably shouldn’t be).

But leaving it to the business owners is a road to utter chaos and will in most cases lead to very unpleasant and potentially dangerous situations. Also keep in mind that if the public hand takes care of the resulting problems this will come out of tax money and thus will cofinance the business owners profits, taking it from the general public. This is also oftentimes not desirable (unless you are a business owner).

It is naturally very complicated in Germany, it is Germany after all. Some Bundesländer have globale Vorgaben, others leave it to the Kommunen. But it is normally part of a Bebauungsplan, also in cities. It is oftentimes a flexible concept though. Here a little start into the toppic.

From Germany: huh? Quite common around here and I am sure in other european countries as well, despite having different city building concepts than the US. Lately it is slowly being replaced by bike infrastructure demands (and there was always the public transport demands), but it still exists.

Lol, I am currently at my first playthrough. How could I forget it?

I am sure they were fine machines. I don’t think they were profitable for Valve (that is what I meant with “not worked out well”). On the other hand, the Steamdeck might not exist without the Steam Machines, so maybe I am wrong and it did work out well.

True. Better allaround.

Crusader Kings XYZ

Cities Skyline XYZ

Civilization XYZ / Colonization

Chivalry XYZ

And if I get desperate: Crysis and CoD.

When I last entered the US in 2009 they took my fingerprints and a photo. I assumed it to be mandatory.

I also had to “please follow me” to a backroom, but I kinda expected this as a muslim. Met some friendly mexican and pakistani people there, so it wasn’t that bad. I still decided to refuse all business trips to the US from that day on (and avoided tourist travel there as well), as I just didn’t feel safe.

Didn’t work out that well last time. But Valve got a lot better with Hardware since then.

I use posteo.de which costs 1€/month. It is simple, but works fine.
