Not annoying at all. You can log into multiple accounts at once and steam will ask you which one to use on every start.

Where I live, linux catgirls drink Club Mate.

Depending on your local laws, you might need to take estrogen for a while and/or change your government ID before you can get one.

Until then, I recommend striped socks and cat ears.

I refuse to use overly smart devices. Yes, I have a few zigbee light switches and thermostats that are controlled by a local HomeAssistant installation but why would I want to by my fridge, dishwasher and toothbrush to be connected to the internet?

Maybe a meme-centric pixelfed instance?

My webserver had some spare capacity so I started my own instance.

General rule of thumb that aligns well with what you do in English: “Sie” goes with last names, “du” goes with first names.

There are very rare exceptions, for example sports reporters tend to address some athletes with “Sie” and first name for reasons that nobody can explain. Those are not very relevant in everyday conversation, especially not if German is not your first language.

Is it a big deal to start using the informal?

It used to be a cliché that you would call coworkers by their last name and “Sie” until that one fateful office Christmas party where your boss gets drunk and asks you to call him Fritz and “du”.

These days, things are a lot more relaxed. Many companies are adopting a rule that all employees should address each other as “du”, including upper management.

It’s absolutely essential. Otherwise every single defendant would claim “I’m sorry, your honor. I didn’t know that murder/rape/stealing is illegal”. It’s almost impossible to prove or disprove general knowledge so we must assume - at least from a legal perspective - that everybody knows the law if we want to apply that law at all. Of course that doesn’t mean that any random person on the street needs to be familiar with every single law that applies to forestry but that they are required to read up on those laws before they pick up a chainsaw and head into the forest. There may be a few obscure laws that could apply to you without your knowledge but those are mostly so low stakes that we can give people a warning for the first offense and then reasonably assume they will know and follow that law in the future.

Now, that all applies to ignorance of the law. On the other hand, there is ignorance of your own actions which indeed can get you out of a conviction because it indicates a lack of intent. A simple example: if you visit someone and on the way out, you grab their jacket because of your own because they look similar, it’s very likely that you haven’t done anything illegal, it was just a mistake. Same if you’re not aware that something you’re doing might endanger others. Those might still get you in trouble for negligence but one could reasonably construct a case where you do something that looks perfectly safe to you but out of pure coincidence ends up killing someone. In those cases, you’re clearly not guilty of a crime.

May I ask how much that cost you? You say things are cheap there so if it’s in the range of what you would have otherwise paid for a hotel or for your general cost of living at home, it sounds more like a mutually beneficial situation. You get to extend your vacation for relatively cheap and they get to keep what you’ve bought when you leave.

Just make sure to keep an eye on the situation. People can get used to your generosity and you don’t know how their disappointment will manifest when you eventually decide to leave. They might just be grateful for what you gave them, but they might also ask you to stay for longer than you’re comfortable with, they might ask you to buy them more stuff before you leave or they might ask you to take the girl home with you. Not even out of greed or any bad feelings but just because what you gave them feels nice and wanting more of that is just natural.

As long as you set limits for yourself (important edit: and communicate those limits) and are prepared to leave within the hour if they don’t respect those, I see no harm. Best case, you have made new friends that you stay in contact with and can visit some time in the future. Worst case you have to leave in the middle of the night and never see them again.

If it is because you’ve never asked: not at all.

If he actively refuses to talk about it: at least a bit weird.

Oh yeah, the guy who fights for fair wages, universal basic income, free healthcare and equal rights for everyone criticizes that your favorite „non-profit“ organization looks more and more like a for-profit corporation every year and comes begging while wearing a gold watch. He must be a fascist.

My argument is that nobody needs 500k to do their job right and there is no justification for paying a manager five to ten times as much as an engineer, especially not on donation money.

I‘d rather give to a smaller project where the money actually ends up with the people who do most of the work.

Then pay the people who actually keep the website running. I bet they don’t earn half a million per year.

And pretty high compared to what most donors have.

Next time you think about donating to a foundation, look at their CEO‘s salary, then think again.

You just want to make sure the meal you get from me via the other thread includes bacon, don’t you?

Granted. For the rest of your life, every well or similar water source will have its water turned into feces as soon as you come within 100m of it.

How did you figure out this was on the list?

I can offer a selection of board games and music of assorted genres on vinyl. If you’re lucky, I can conjure some food.
