It's the middle thing between not gifting something specific but also no just giving money. Sometimes you are not sure what exactly a person wants, but giving money directly might feel too unpersonal? Other than that, i completely agree with you that it sucks. Stores must love them though, they already have the money without having to provide a service / product and then many people will forget, the gift cards expire etc. I'm of the opinion that the cards shouldn't expire, or at least have a very high expiration date (like minimum 10 years).

I've written a bash script i'm using daily, maybe you can adapt it to your needs. I'm using pipewire-pulse. It's probably not perfect but it does the job:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
DEVICE=$1

# read input, parse list of available sinks (outputs)
if [ "$DEVICE" = "pc" ]
then
	OUTPUT=($(pactl list short sinks | awk '{print $2}' | grep -i -E 'hdmi|samson|Targus' -v))
elif [ "$DEVICE" = "tv" ]
then	
	OUTPUT=($(pactl list short sinks | awk '{print $2}' | grep -i -E 'hdmi'))
else
	echo "No valid input (must be either 'pc' or 'tv')"
	exit -1
fi

# get all currently connected streams
INPUTS=($(pactl list short sink-inputs | awk '{print $1}'))

# change default sink (for new audio outputs)
pactl set-default-sink $OUTPUT

# switch sink for existing audio outputs
for i in "${INPUTS[@]}"
do
	pactl move-sink-input $i $OUTPUT
done

# use notify-send to send a visual notification to the user that the sink changed
notify-send -c info "Default sink changed" "Changed default sink and sink-inputs to $OUTPUT"

Is it really possible to sign away a right to sue a company, especially hidden in an EULA? For an unrelated service as well... I guess that's something the court must decide in the end.

It's a pity that a company who created so many beloved stories and characters fell so low.

Thanks, i keep missing this!

There is a good movie about this called "The Lunchbox": https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/191714-the-lunchbox

It's not exactly about the lunchbox system, but the Dabbawala system is pretty central to the movie.

Can second this recommendation, very good movie! Spoilers ahead: ::: spoiler spoiler I love the fact that it is a movie about aliens without any violent conflict but rather focused on interacting with the aliens some way :::

If you are "forced" to use WhatsApp because many of your contacts are using it, you could use it to run WhatsApp and set-up a bridge to Matrix: https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/setup.html?bridge=whatsapp

Not exactly the same, but the swiss administration have their own mastodon instance: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/business/swiss-authorities-to-join-social-media-alternative-mastodon/48808086

I don't know who the player is, but the enemy is big because at minute 60, tier 5 neutral items can be found in the jungle. One is Giant's Ring, which increases the hero size and gives you free pathing (you can walk over cliffs etc.). I assume Tiny (appropriately named) has this neutral item.

Edit: Looks like the player is "Respect" from Into the Breach, a pro team and the game was from the TI 2023 regional qualifiers.

Very cute! :)

It seems to be down right now, but if i remember correctly this one also works when you are using a terminal and curl, i.E. curl wttr.in/newyork

Edit: It works again, you can use the command as written above :D

If you are below a certain taxable income you get a reduction to premiums, which is pretty nice. This happens automatically based on your last tax report, so it's not a case of aid being available, but not being used because people don't know about it or are too shy to ask for it.

Obviously this doesn't solve the problem of rising premiums / health costs, but at least it helps people with small incomes.

You are right, my mind probably just jumped to Major :) It's called "Ryiadh Masters 2023" officially

Maybe Broadchurch? British crime series with David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker (two doctors) and Olivia Colman

Letztes Jahr war es Sonnencreme - die habe ich dort gekauft weil ich befürchtete dass mir meine mitgenommene ausgeht. Jetzt hat sich herausgestellt dass das die beste Sonnencreme ist, die ich jemals gekauft habe. Zieht super ein, riecht kaum und war sogar etwas günstiger als in der Schweiz :D

Haha and Solo died from Rosh in all that

Thanks, that sounds like a good mix between story and gameplay.

Thanks for the suggestion, already read and enjoyed it :)

Thanks for the thread. I'm not sure why Secret picked Drow into Storm (in first pick phase as well)? Crystallys can't hit anything in these fights, he's just getting jumped all the time

Don't have time right now and i never played the originals, but i read great things. Seems like a pretty weird mix between mechanics, but great if the developers pulled it off. Glad to hear you're enjoying it as well!

Is there a story or is it "just" mission after mission?
