> What the government did succeed at was changing the pronunciation of numbers from 20 to 99. It was changed from how the Germans do it (“two and forty”) to how the English do (“forty two”).
Yet almost every single person I speak with every day here outside of people from the Oslo region say it the "two and forty" way.
Though, that probably still means most people say it the "forty two" way.
When I got my Pixel 7 Pro I was shocked at how bad the battery life was, even without google play services. (came from a 5a)
I love the phone, but the battery life makes me regret my purchase almost every day.
Then my coworker got the Pixel 8 Pro, and it has WAY worse battery life than my 7 Pro, he even went and got a new one at the store because it was so bad it had to be a fault, but no. It just is absolute garbage.
That is the weird part, it happens on all my various machines.
I have an RDNA2 laptop, KDE is sluggish.
I have a 3900x+2080Super desktop, KDE is sluggish. (Though that's nvidia so..)
Even my 5950x+7900xtx desktop, KDE is sluggish.
I really do not understand it, it's almost as if KDE just runs out of sync with my heads internal fps.
Same issues on both my nvidia desktop, my amd desktop, and my amd laptop.
I definitely first suspected nvidia, since well, it's nvidia. But I wouldn't have the exact same issues on other machines without nvidia as well then..i hope
Yeah I really don't understand it. There really has to be something wrong somewhere because I can't imagine KDE actually being as bad as I experience it, because absolutely nobody would be using it if so.
To me my favourite is xfce by far, it is so simple and fast without being too simple where it becomes an inconvenience.
But, I need wayland so Gnome and KDE are the only really good alternatives for now. (Yes I know there are plenty of alternatives like sway, enlightenment, etc etc but no.)
I really do wonder what I do wrong with KDE every time I try it..
I see people write stuff like this, but my experience is the complete opposite.
KDE is the most sluggish horrible mess for me every time I try it, it feels like a game constantly fluctuating between 15 and 25 fps when interacting with it.
Gnome on the other hand has never missed a beat, despite having it's issues needing solved with extensions. Performance wise it's always been 10/10, even on my 3x4k setup.
Wish I didn't need wayland, because I really just want to go back to xfce..
I did this with EA actually, I was banned for no reason from Apex Legends, EA support told me it was an EasyAntiCheat ban, but I wasn't banned from other EAC games which made me suspect that wasn't true. When I googled around I found screenshots showing that the ban message ingame would have the text "Banned" after the default "client banned" message.
I contacted EAC who confirmed I was not EAC banned, I informed EA of this and just got the default "We cannot discuss bans blah blah" reply.
I then ran a GDPR data request, and after 3 weeks I got a massive dump of all my info, which included the ban reason.
The ban reason was N/A, not blanked out or censored, just N/A from the data dump.
I raised this with EA and they just kept telling me they can't discuss bans etc. I managed to get it escalated eventually via a complaint which lead to my account being unbanned and I got it confirmed that it was an erroneous ban.
I have done this for recommendations, and it now only shows videos I have recently watched, usually the 3-4 previous videos I watched.
If I click on anything I wouldn't usually watch, it is then the only thing that goes in my recommendation for a good 2-3 weeks.
I watched one dashcam video the other day that someone linked me, which had the tags Tesla and Elon Musk.... Now the only thing I get in my recommended is incredibly strange videos about Elon Musk and Teslas.
I have an email address that I've only used for official things, and it was used by an employer as my contact email for pension savings with Santander.
I've had the address for 10+ years and never gotten spam.
The same day I got an email from Santander about being signed up for pension there I started getting lots of spam emails.
I've recently switched to GrapheneOS, and I had issues using my old banks app (DNB, Norwegian bank) but my current bank (Sparebank1, also Norwegian) works perfectly on GrapheneOS.
I've also discovered that some apps that require safetynet, can be grabbed from the Huawei store and used, because apparently on chinese phones your bank suddenly doesn't need safetynet to be secure.
Media is also allowed to pull "top" lists like the 100 people with the most income in a city, 100 people with the most wealth in a city, etc.
