  • That is definitely the appeal. My friends who use apps with algorithms like tik tok tell me that is the reason they use the apps. I can’t blame them. Those algorithms showed me loads of obscure musical artists that are still my favorite today (and that is a good thing for indies/small businesses who don’t have much money for ad spaces). There is a lot of good reasons for algorithms like that, the problem is the data necessary to make them work and what other stuff they do with it.



  • 1: It depends, I use giffgaff and get very bad connections outside of cities, but they have free EU roaming which is better than other companies

    3: If you want cheap than Aldi is the best place, the food isn’t bad and Aldis have a middle isle full of name brand products if your daughter prefers them over Aldi’s products

    5: It depends on where you end up living, she will probably find friends but it could be more difficult in certain areas of the UK (people in the South like talking a lot less than in the North)

    6: You rarely need an ID. I would recommend carrying your daughter’s ID if you go somewhere like the cinema, I don’t know if it is the same in the US but kids will have their ID checked if they do not look old enough to watch a film

    11: kind of, most areas in the UK with full fibre are connected by city fibre so if you need good internet I would look for a city that uses them so you have a lot of choices for ISPs. I am using zen internet right now and it has no data caps, caps on home internet isn’t really a thing in the UK

    12: You need a TV license to watch most things in the UK, this is because the BBC’s content is on other platforms like Netflix, not just iPlayer.

    14: Your best bet is looking for a local business. There is a Taco Bell in my town but I don’t know how common they are in the rest of the UK and I don’t know if that is what you are really looking for.

    18: Most businesses take card now, the only time you need to carry cash is if you are going to a market.

    20: fuck you




  • This seems a bit flawed. I have aphantasia (which is what I assume you mean when you say low-level vision) and I can see a red/orange circle. (I’m going to assume the difference in colour is because of my screen) It isn’t well defined but it is bright and I would guess that I wouldn’t see one at all since I can’t see anything in my mind at all.



  • Same. My most played game has a launcher that doesn’t close/force itself to the top when the game closes so steam continues to count playtime.

    Although, I’ve spent so much time playing it now I think the time spent with just the launcher open is insignificant.

    And yes, the launcher is necessary. It acts as a server picker since there are 100s (and the official servers are a mess)
