The wireless connection uses 2.4GHz, a range that can get very crowded, especially in tight urban spaces. This could explain the bad connection you have, the signal just drowns in all the noise and interference. Bad shielded electronic installations could also produce a lot of noise over a broad spectrum. If this is the reason for the bad connection then Valve can’t do much against it.

I still have games from the Snes era on my backlog, a few years will not be enough in my case. So Yes, no need to buy anything new for a very long time!

Morrowind, Skyrim, Minecraft and Final Fantasy Tactics (different modded PS1 Versions mostly) must be the games with the most hours for me. I must have 1000+ hours in each of those, well maybe only 600ish in Tactics.

Ok, we start with killing the rich people. Only the people with billions? or those with millions too? Even the family living in the house they have for 3 generations and that is now 1.5 million euro/dollars worth, just due to inflation and the natural price increase for maintained houses? Then what? What is the next step after killing them? Stopps the killing then? Or do we look for other problematic people? Maybe the opposition? Yeah, the people who were against the righteous act of killing all the filthy rich people must be bad people too, colaborators, traitors to the good cause… So lets kill them. Does it stopp then or do we continue? Oh, my neighbour is working in his basement on something, i am sure he wants to invent something to get rich! Lets kill him before he has the chance to infect us again with that filth. So yes, it will be a perfect and peacefull civilisation… because all the people who go against the rules will be killed. But it is all for the greater good, all for peace and harmony and equality. Nobody can have anything against that? Well, nobody who wants to life can!

Oh, and I absolutely do not endorse killing extended families; I’m also not sure that that’s what they meant.

That is what they said, explicitly, in their first post of this long thread. There is a very good reason why the moderator felt the need to delete the post, and I can only assume that this was part of it.

Edit: After looking in the comments moderation log I have no longer to assume. It was the part about killing children that got it removed.

The french revolution had the Jacobins with all his atrocities and so many death of innocent people as a result. It is not called Reign of Terror without a good reason. And in the end it didn’t really changed much for the lower class, because the ruling upper class only was replaced by another.

Killing whole extended families, as proposed by @devolution@lemmy.world, sounds a lot like something Adolph Hitler would do and we all know where this ended! Accepting killing people will created a spiral, with more and more who will be send to death. It happened after the french revolution, it happened during the nazi Regime, it happened in the chinese culture Revolution. When killing is accepted it becomes a normal tool, and that is always bad!

You don’t need to kill anyone, deplete their wealth and they are only people like everyone else. Create a international Court and put them to trial for their crimes against mankind, but don’t kill anyone. There are always better solutions then killing! Is the blanket of civilisation really that thin that we fall back to barbaric solutions so easily? Have we not learned from the many, many mistakes of the past?

Well, you can’t really call them the ruling class anymore when you start to round them up for the killing squads. They become the oppressed in exactly that moment.

I speak about the genozide part of the history books

So you propose the Final Solution to the Rich Question then? Maybe you should read a history book, and ask yourself if you are the baddy!

Great idea, we still have some buildings here in germany that were used for such a cleansing purpose before! I am sure they only need a bit of maintenance.

The above is sarcasm!

Killing people, and even more so genocide or mass murder, is NEVER a valid option! Every idea, ideology or system that includes killing people is always rotten to the core!

Oh Yes, we had Linux for years on our work Laptops and it was so much faster. I miss it so much, not only for the speed.

Source code gets lost all the time, for all kinds of reasons.

I have to wait 8 minutes after windows login for everything to start, due to the layers of security Software on my, fairly powerful, workplace pc. And after that another minute for Outlook to be ready.

I am sorry, there was a translation error on my side, english is not my primary language and when I read the question I translated jigsaw puzzle with the meaning of a sliding puzzle and those I can’t do.

Jigsaw puzzle are not really an issue for me, more or less because of the reasons you said. There is not really much imagination needed to solve a jigsaw puzzle.

I am sorry for the confusion caused by my error.

I tried them a few times and I solved one once, but that was more by brute force and not really by solving the geometric riddle.

It is called aphantasia and, like many things, works as a spectrum from slightly reduced imagination of one sense to totally blank imagination of all senses.

I have totally blank imagination at least for visual and smell/taste. limited imagination for sound and, as far as I can tell as good as no limitations for imagination of touch/texture based things.

So when i want to imagine a wall height, ruffling, wet, cold, red velvet curtine that was pissed on… Well all that i can come up with is imagination of how touching the wet, cold fabric feels like. At the same time I know that it should smell awefull and I know all the facts about the curtine like its color, length, width, that you would need to imagine it but it is like reading a technical documention without any kind of pictures or smells, but with very faint and limited sound and the full vivid range of touch based sensations.

I have no issues dreaming, conjuring vivid images while sleeping is not limited at all, but I can only remember them as a list of bullet point facts. The images themself are gone as soon as i am fully woken up.

I would say the things where it limits or complicates my live the most are:

• When I try to do any kind of visual artistic expression. I can only barely do that and it is a painfully slow process, everything i draw looks like it comes from the hands of a small kid. I tried to learn the technics but just can’t perform the transformation in my head to get anything to paper. So everything has to be done in tiny iterativ steps. Arts class was always pain for me in school.
• When I have to solve some kind of “transform the shape into another and compare them” puzzle in games or real life (Ikea manuals for example).
• I am the worst eye witness, because i can’t relive visual memories in my head. I have no visual memories at all, only a abstract, very limited, list of facts. Like remembering scenes from a movie that you have only, in a haste, read the script for.
• and many more things where visual imagination is relevant.

Visual imagination is the only thing I really miss, the other senses barely matter for my, when it comes to imagination, but not beeing able to close my eyes and picture my wife in my mind at all is often painful for me.

Reading history books is the right thing to do, in every dimension you are

That is unfortunately the price to pay for having cars with original licenses, the licence givers don’t like to see their cars broken and mangled. It is not positiv for the brand marketing.
