Sizing pants: men's vs women's in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

What? I'm not slim, neither fat, I'm about average dude, but I rarely ever find pants that aren't too long. Maybe it's EU thing, but nearly every time I put on regular pants I feel like a scuba diver with the excesive pants as "fins". Last pants I bought "short" version and I'd still need about inch shorter...

Well, if Trump wins he'll eventually get original SS to cover his ass...

Well, technically you can, but it's not going to be fun...

Well, technically yes, but why pay even a couple quids when I already have purchased the game on PC? Of course there's this "To support the dev!" but honestly... How much he's going to make from such a purchase after all?

This is why I find Steam Deck the most tempting handheld console, because it can play (almost) all the games I've purchased over last decade on both Steam and GOG. I'm no Nintendo fanboy so I can happily live without Mario or Zelda.

Exactly. Not only the games are still (even after many years) very expensive with not that much "steam sale" level of discounts or various humble/fanatical bundles, it's Nintendo's behavior that is the most off putting part in the equation.

I really do like the idea of switch and might be a potential buyer, but... as a long time PC user woth zero console experience I'll pass. I don't want to (re)buy games that seems to be quite overpriced on Nintendo. So if anything, I'd be buying Steam Deck.

I asume it's 65k a year? Gross or net? Not from US, just want to compare. My brother-in-law's fiance is public sector lawyer and she does barely above minimum wage here (eastern EU). She gets somewhere between 15-20k USD a year (net, after tax).

Is it him who has to hand it over? Or is it possible for blue party to say "Hey, Joe, enough is enough" and substitute him for "health reasons"?

Anything with XFCE or LXQt desktop? You can try to install that on Garuda/Arch you already have. Or something like Sway, but that might be too awkward from the start.

Is Disco Elysium playable in short bursts? (lemm.ee)

Hello, I just finished the game I was playing (Book of Demons, would give it 7/10) and I'm looking what to play next.

I don't have as much time for gaming as I used to (job, children, etc.) so I usually have about an hour at the evening to play. Some games are tough to fit into this because it breaks immersion too much and everyday having to remember when I left just to quit soon after is just... tedious? Wrong? Idk and I don't want to spoil good games with it.

My friend gifted me Disco Elysium for christmas and it looks ver promising. But is it possible to squeeze it into this schedule? Or does it break the game too much? Thank you for your input.

Dumb Q: How to manage sw licences? (lemm.ee)

Hello everyone, I hope I came to the right place to ask my stupid question. I'm currently working in a company that stuck way way back in time. I'm talking some people are still working in DOS level back in time. There is some revamping of this in progres, but it's going to be a long run.

The "IT department" (called computing department, lol) consist basically of 2 people, boss and me. Boss loves the old days, he's "happily" using Win XP on his computer and hates everything newer than Win7, although half of everything he tries to do doesn't work there anymore (and don't even start with security of the OS). Anyway... that's about the company background and what to expect.

During currently ongoing upgrades to get this company at least to 21st cwntury, there will be some sw licencing happening. I'm expecting like buying dozens of Office 2021 keys and some other standalone soft too. But there's problem with managing those keys, as there is no precedence, no rules and everything's going to be from the scratch almost. People are coming and going, PCs are dying (remember, there are still some DOS machines), hard drives replacing, etc. etc. Windows domain? Not in this company. Ever.

So, how do you keep track of what is installed and where? Thank you very much.
