Right, good point.

Why wouldn’t you tell them the reason?

Luckily, yes, my finger is in perfect condition again. But it took over a year to completely heal.

I was making whipped cream with an electric hand mixer while talking to someone at the same time. While talking and looking at them, I wanted to turn off the machine, but as I didn’t look at it, I put my hands right into the whisk instead of the switch I was trying to reach. Out of pain and shock, instead of turning it off with the other hand, I moved the switch in the wrong direction to its maximum and broke my finger.

Do streaming sites actually work for others? Like reliably? At least for me, sometimes they work okay, and I can watch a movie without any buffering, but most of the time I have to deal with lots and lots of buffering. Sometimes every few seconds even. Maybe it’s because of the VPN? Never tried it without. But then again, even with a VPN, I get around 75Mbps.

I don’t think it’s OSM but I use Here we go. I don’t particularly like it but it has public transport support and isn’t Google Maps.

If only it had support for public transport. In theory it would be my favorite OSM app but I can’t really use it without support for that :(

I thought that you would get your grandparents by just going into a train station and picking some random (preferably older person) to be your grandparent.

I was convinced that my parents had done that for me, and that’s why I had grandparents.

And I’ve just gotten used to Dvorak…

I recently tried to do that but after hours of trying l had to give up. If there’s a way, I’d really like to know too.

Ah, that makes sense. Too bad. I have all my games on steam and haven’t yet found a way to play them with the patch. I could, of course, compile proton with the patch myself, but somehow I am too stupid for that.

How did you get it to work within proton? Last time I looked, the Wayland patch wasn’t yet included in proton. I’d love to use it for my games too.

That’s good to hear, thanks!

Any news on wine on Wayland? I haven’t heard anything in a while; is it still being worked on?

I can’t see the wizard and the horse anymore lol

Just add HideDesktopPreviewBanner=true to the [General] section in the ~/.config/kdeglobals file and restart plasmashell with systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service or just log out and back in.

Surprised. At your surprise.

Haha, that’s hilarious.

I guess I was expecting something between €50 and €80. But certainly nothing over €100. For two years, of course. 

But you have to understand that I watch a movie maybe once a month, and I do not need a VPN for anything else. Tor works totally fine for all my other needs.

Also, I do not and never did pay for any other online subscriptions, so like many of you suggested, I would not be saving money by canceling them and spending money on a VPN instead. But I can see how it might be a great option in your case.

website keeps a block-list of IPs that are known to belong to VPNs.

That’s a good point; I’ve never thought about it this way. But if you say that one can easily find an IP that isn’t blocked yet, I guess it would be fine.

Thanks, I will take a look at this.

My point is this: the cost of a VPN subscription shouldn’t be compared to the cost of a subscription streaming service, because 1) they serve two very different purposes, and 2) when you break it down the VPN sub always wins. 😉

I know, and you’re right. It was just meant to serve as an expression of how surprised I was by the price.

No holiday sales, no spring cleaning sales, no bulk discounts, nothing. And I view that as a positive thing.

So do I.

Apparently, people get upset when you tell them that you were surprised by something you didn’t expect. 

Anyway, let’s not make that discussion about my view on the price of a VPN; I feel like this is kind of irrelevant. 

What’s more important, do you know if they blocked all those 123Movies websites? After all, this is the most important requirement I have.
