My username on here wasn't descriptive enough for Bing so I went with an old one I used back in my teens - DarthGrapefruit

As a Brit who misses the EU a lot they always did a lot right but are underappreciated by the people living in it.

I was at a random hotel in London for work and was wearing a pretty nice suit. There was a mirrored column near the door and nobody about so I was adjusting my jacket since I'd been wearing a backback. The girl who worked behind the reception (probably 23 and quite attractive, I'm 36) walked past and said "Hey, you look really good."

Absolutely made my day and I even excitedly told my girlfriend when I got home. It was possibly the only unprompted compliment from a stranger I've ever received.

I'm using Jerboa and it's fine but I'm missing a few features from Sync and frankly I don't like change 😂

What? Why is it an issue to drink anywhere so long as you're keeping yourself to yourself and not causing an issue? America, land of the free....

Do we have any news on if any of the popular 3rd Party developers are planning to make Lemmy apps? How interchangeable is the code? Will it be a case of starting from absolute scratch?

As a Brit I can't see this being true. I just can't imagine many Brits first instinct being Belgium for the "most" anything other than maybe most monks who brew beer or most delicious chocolate. I'd imagine a lot of Brits would pick Germans just out of spite 😂

It did!

I mean... I don't want to see that either but "normie" platforms sounds really wanky and elitist.

I've never been a Linux guy but recently I've switched to Pop!OS on my laptop and bought a Steam Deck. Other than a few teething issues with the laptop I've had a great experience and I wouldn't consider myself ridiculously tech savvy. I'd absolutely consider switching my gaming PC over but my worry is loss of performance and being unable to use my game pass games. I'd be super happy if I could switch my PC over in the next couple of years.

The one thing I'm struggling with is how do I find a subreddit equivalent? For example r/formula1 or r/UKpolitics on Reddit might be.... What?

Also is it possible to find these communities using Jerboa or so I need to login on my desktop?

Edit - spelling

Just picked up the Legendary Edition Mass Effect Trilogy for £4.99 to play on the Steam Deck. Read a few guides online which made it sound pretty complicated to get set up but actually just doing the initial load of the game in desktop mode and logging into EA there has meant it now works through the standard deck mode without a hitch. Great game for the deck and (touch wood) performance seems pretty solid.

You're joking right? I'm in the UK and every bugger going has a Merc or a BMW.

A band-aid. Though in most circumstances it would just be a "plaster".

The Wedding at Cana by Paolo Veronese is hung opposite the Mona Lisa and honestly was far more worth seeing as far as I'm concerned. It was also mostly ignored by people desperate to get their selfie with a postage stamp-sized painting for their social media.

Of course she does. How was this woman ever Prime Minister? Even for a moment?

The dark thing was a major turn off for me too. It just didn't FEEL like Star Trek (even before getting more into the story lines themselves). I started watching The Orville around the same time and actually continued watching that despite a pretty rocky start because they nailed the Star Trek feel.

Showed this to a German friend who had me er seen it last time he stayed with me in the UK. It was such a staple to me and my friends I was shocked he hasn't seen it!

I have literally no idea what "hexbear" and "tankies" are. I'd never even heard these words before being on Lemmy but they're all over the place on here.

This is the first I've seen of this post and it obviously was showing for me. On Jerboa in case that makes a difference.
