Limp Bizkit

It was a local festival Pukkelpop in the year 2000. First of all, if you see the line-up, you’ll never get these artists together nowadays. But it was day 2 and Limp Bizkit was preparing everyone for Cypress Hill. Only Limp Bizkit was so energetic and got the whole crowd in that same energy. By the time it was Cypress Hills turn, the crowd had to decompress. Cypress Hill didn’t get the crowd in the right atmosphere until they said ‘Limp Bizkit were amazing!’ and the crowd cheered ‘Yeah!’ and Cypress Hills from that moment on got the crowd going.

Thanks for this extensive explanation. I’ll be on a holiday in the USA with my family this summer. And kind of on a road trip between Washington and New York and back. With all the rights that I have … when asked for my ID … aren’t you just going to advise me to … … ?

I know I posted this at the ‘the police problem’ community. But I thought that when pulled over by the police, giving your drivers licence, to show you’re allowed to drive, doesn’t do any harm. It’s common practice in Belgium to check if all your ‘papers’ are in order. And if so, you’re back on your way.

I don’t think of the Belgian police as being dangerous. But possibly because of the difference in amount of police officers (it seems to be 13.000 in Belgium, 900.000 in USA) you can report on more wrongdoings in the USA than in Belgium, but overall (per capita) the relative amount of incidents could compare? It can come over as naive but I just couldn’t understand what could go wrong by showing your ID.

Thanks for the warning 🙂 Sometimes I still think I have as much spare time as 10 years ago 😉

Wasn’t the penalty for not going ahead with the purchase 1 billion dollars? That seems to have been the better deal after all?

This got mee googling Nextcloud and I think I’m going to give it a try 😱

I agree totally and on top of that, I also bake:

• croissants;
• pain au chocolat;
• pistolets. in my airfryer.

This reply thread is the information I needed from this topic 👍

Exactly 🙂

Watching it all from Belgium, it seems that the contested speech of Trump is purposefully aimed at:

• making the previous wrong remark yesterday’s news;
• flooding the news/people with controversial remarks so it’s impossible to ‘keep count’;
• raising the bar of what shocks Trump-supporters and -opponents.

And then, they, would have our gratitude.

I’m still on Twitter (X) and I don’t have a problem with seeing Netflix-ads in my feed. I somewhat have a problem with a product like Twitter being bought by one person. If that could have been prevented in the first place, a tweet from one person would not jeopardize the monetization or engagement of that platform.

I hope the people of the USA will make the right decision. But, looking at it from Belgium, I’m also so tired of, since 2016, looking at every presidential election in the USA as being the one that will possibly sent the world into chaos. Every night-show, podcaster, … that I’m able to watch on YouTube can only discuss the situation from the point of view from one side. This makes the programs that once were very entertaining to watch, much less fun. So since I don’t have any impact on the outcome, I’m skipping many of these shows that were once a nice discraction. I’m curious if in the USA itself the people are also taking distance from this rethoric on television to not let it impact their daily lives too much.

When Twitter was Twitter the same concerns were outed. Now X is Twitter minus 80% of its employees. From an economic standpoint it seems that investing in moderation doesn’t give you less concerns and complaints from the outside regarding disinformation, more extreme content, … . The advertisers have the most impact, I think. Together with the users that will look for an alternative.

Thank for bringing this up. I’m currently using a Samsung Galaxy S10e. I mostly use the smartphone from my pocket:

• listening to podcasts with earbuds on;
• running with Strava on;
• working in the garden with music on;
• checking messages with my smartwatch on;
• driving my car with Android Auto on;
• … . Of course I also use my smartphone itself for messaging, shopping online, banking, ordering takeaway, … . And a larger screen would definitely be more comfortable in these cases. But having a larger smartphone when I’m currently using my smartphone while it’s in my pocket, is a step back. In fact, for use at home I still have a Samsung tablet to have a bigger screen die when that’s more useful. When I would switch to the SG S23 version, it seems that the dimensions of the new device are quite similar? Dimensions: S10e: 5.60 x 2.75 x 0.31 inches (142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9 mm) S23: 5.76 x 2.79 x 0.30 inches (146.3 x 70.9 x 7.6mm) Zenphone 10: 5.77 x 2.68 x 0.37 inches (146.5 x 68.1 x 9.4 mm)

So as long as the basic version of the SG s-series is sold in the above dimensions, I’m not worried 🤞

I’m glad that the EC countered the argument of Apple strongly. Because you’d assume that the legal team of Apple consists of some capable lawyers, possibly even old members of the EC? At some point I’m scared that even the EC would be outmatched but we’re not there, it seems.

Am I wrong in assuming that OF, and people making money of it, isn’t that mainstream at all?

I’m not a hardcore gamer but I’m a fan of cloud gaming, first Google Stadia (rip) and later Gforce Now. And Gforce Now supports Steam games so the more games available in the Steam-catalogue, the better.

Reading the article, it seems like the configuration of the fstab-file needs to be done at creating the bootable usb-stick? Or can it also be modified afterwards?
