hey I just wanted to share that I moved to a small, remote-ish village in Greece about a year ago (born & raised in Athens, a "big" city for our standards, the biggest in Greece) and it's quite close to that.

It's been amazing although I miss ordering food online and maybe the occasional bar/coffee with friends.

It's almost inside a forest and 15' drive from both mountain and amazing beaches

Thank you for listening, I honestly hope that everyone has the choice to do the same <3

I really need to test them as well. Being ~100GB each is quite good for me, I won't need more than 100 for my whole life

I get it about stuff that you don't really care about But if I spend a day looking for a specific movie, I'm taking it to my grave

Damn I read "my cat needed to be enthusiased and I just received her ashes" and though WTF did you do to make her so excited?

side note: enthusiased is not an english word but in greek (ενθουσιασμενος) it makes sense and it translates to "excited"

I'm so happy about steam's monopoly. I almost feel like they're there for us, they broke capitalism

exactly that, INCLUDING server-side binaries to re-create any online features

I could argue that the source code should become public domain as well but we already sound like crazy people

discs are a personal archiving solution (quite a bad one too, unless you're into m-discs n stuff) and do not solve the data accessibility issue (copying it is labor intensive and needs human interaction, in contrast to a torrent)

Just a side note that M-DISC exists which is essentially a blue ray disk with a claimed longevity of a thousand years (strong emphasis on "claimed". there's a lot of controversy around it)

but yes the only way to retain access is piracy as it allows people that didn't have the media to get it

in greek (also gender for every noun, chair is female, dog is male and washing machine is “neutral”) it’s weird when someone uses the wrong gender. mostly non-natives mix them up

borrowed words are mostly neutral like μπουζί (spark plug) or ντουζ (shower)

as to what’s english missing I’d say complexity. Learning english and just being able to throw “the” behind any inanimate object is amazing. Also learning the genders that differ from your own language (learning french for example where a cat I think is male but in greek it’s female) is even more difficult

I tried it and I got wrist pain that I never had from the horizontal mouse

I guess my body is completely set? (been using a normal mouse for many, many hours since I was 10yo)
