It’s not the looking-at-th-screen-thing, but rather the switching-the-camera-on-in-the-first-place-thing, the understanding-anything-at-all-while-the-screen-is-covered-in-people-thing and the not-being-a-total-exhausted-mess-who-needs-an-hourlong-pause-to-function-again-afterwards -thing.
So no, wouldn’t be useful, I am afraid.
Have been thinking the same.
I have a serious anxiety when it comes to video calls. My direct colleagues know about it and don’t mind, but it is weird when having remote meetings involving other people. This is probably really harming my professional success.
So I was considering trying some Chatroulette like service to get more relaxed towards video calls, but was really put off when hearing about all the offensive sexual weirdness there.
Eyechat would omit that while still being near enough to a classic full-face video-call. I think this might actually work as some kind of exposure therapy. I might give it a try.
Doesn’t help in summer…
The article itself sounds a lot more relaxed than the heading suggests.
Nonetheless, this is still stuff for c/fuckcars
This actually is a really good modern example and quite relevant!
Poor Eclair
Didn’t notice that before, this is sooo good! 😆
She clearly had a nervous bread:
Your description fits, though.
Back to the old, but still very true quote:
“Piracy is a service problem.”
No, they would put on a pirate hat and hit the seven seas again.
I mean, that is basically where we are coming from. And the record companies still remembering this is the reason we still have usable music streaming services. Might change again as time passes though…
But why? To ensure some status quo by making higher education only available to an existing upper class?
In Germany I have the impression that decreased support for basic ecucation is at least partly connected to the increasingly inversed age pyramid, but that may not be the whole story.
Apparently not that obvious, considering the state of school funding in many countries, mine included.
Interesting… But what has Mark Rutte to do with that?
No, seriously, I have been very confused for a moment after seeing the photograph… ;-)
You might want to look up “Enshitification”.
No surprises here…
Remember playing this quite some time at a friends. But I think we played Wing Commander even more for some reason.
And way before that: Elite on a C64. That blow my mind at the time. Connected lines in 3D! Wow. And yes, I am old.
But my favorite of all time has to be Privateer II - The Darkening. Relatively open world with a cool background story and incredibly immersive with fitting prerendered cutscene visuals and lots of real actors doing the keyscenes.
And also: where it found the config file it is actually using at the moment. This would cover the 90% of the cases in which you just want to change a single Key to a different value or something or so…
lt does but toilette had a different meaning during the time the term Eau de Toilette has been invented. So the funny cross reference is a random artifact of language change.
Although perfume has also been used a lot to cover the smell of unwashed bodies especially during Baroque.
So it is perhaps a fitting reference nonetheless :-)
They mean “Cologne” which is short for “Eau de Cologne” which is fancy french for “Kölnisch Wasser” which is the german scent of geriatric hell but has become an expression for almost any kind of perfume for some reason.
So if using fancy words you should perhaps know the correct spelling…
Also on gog.com for 5€.
I like the older TR games more though.
TR: Anniversary e.g. is a great remake of TR1 and is available for 99ct at the moment!
I have been using Neocities for years now. Because sometimes a simple static Website with a few images and some javascript just does the job.
What’s your kill count in the trolley problem?
