@mur2501 Yes, that swerve was weird. But the car with the cam should've anticipated for that eventuality with the speed it was driving at.

@mur2501 Not sure I'd consider that funny, but it is a bit a weird accident. The car with the cam probably drove too fast.

@mur2501 🤨 That's pretty insane!

We had 11 provinces for a long time. The 12th one got added last century (1986) when we told the large body of water in our middle 'hey, we want this land' and the fake sea obeyed. 😋

Ok, there were a few details:

Belgium (originally part of Netherlands) gained independence in 1830. Ok, bye!

North-Holland and South-Holland provinces were one (large) province (Holland) ruled as 2 seperate entities, in 1840 they actually got split in 2 seperate provinces. They got a bit too big and cumbersome. Ok, hi!

And then you've got Flevoland that was reclaimed from the sea as mentioned earlier.

At least we didn't have 1001 changes like your country did in a shorter time span!

@chrism
Hrm, probably not. It's a bit behind and yellow definitely is safe to go through. That'd be a free 2 points to give away otherwise.

@josemanuel Oh I'm using my block and mute very liberally the last weeks. ;) But I guess there are people who want a gated community. In a way I can understand that, sometimes you just want a cozy blanket, heh.

But then... If you want that and if they're convinced others want that, you can always have your own instance where you only federate with certain instances. That's actually the power of a federation, it doesn't need to be -one- federation.

@josemanuel I think the recent concern might be that the latest mass migration might be filled with the kind of people that they don't want to see around.
So for them, instead of 95% of shit, it might be 99,99% of shit.

@mur2501 Amusing and very silly. Explains the current state of India, sex does not exist! 😋

@wauz@muenchen.social Parents can teach their kids 'baby-sign' which is basically sign language but a bit simplified of course. (they're babies after all)

They actually could hold whole conversations with their kids before they were even able to talk! It's amazing!

It definitely would be a huge advantage for pre-school kids to learn this skill!
@mur2501

@mur2501 Hehehe, you won't believe it but...
I got extremely ill and became severely hard of hearing at toddler age because of a virus carried over by dirty stray cats. 😋

Hearing got progressively worse over time, I was pretty much deaf when I was 10 or so years old. Hearing aids were only good to tell me 'oh hey, here is sound!' and started to annoy the fuck out of me. When I became a teenager I threw away my hearing aids, that was so much better for my sanity.

So yeah, I learned sign language only around age 10 or so.

@adamprocter Mmm, what about Dynalist, or is that too different from what you had in mind?

@mur2501 Huh, cool. 234 pages looks like, I might take a peek through this.

@mur2501 Yeah, there are ways for that in sign language. Sometimes sign language is superior to subtitles in ways of conveying the tone and atmosphere over to the viewer. I'm more comfortable with text myself, having learned sign language only since my teens, but I know a lot of deaf people who really need sign language to be able to understand.

You could also add certain kinds of animations. Music notes coming out of a radio would be a simple example I guess.

@JonathanMBR That looks like a very nice holiday spot.

Wouldn't mind being there now... I could use a vacation. :P

@mur2501 D'awww... :blobcatlove:

And images have sound? 😜
Otherwise it is called a meme!

@robflop Oh, so gestures are basically just like hotkeys? Whoopsie... except I don't know of a spare button on my M570 to use for this, mrm. But with the Elecoms you should be drowning in buttons anyway, so no issue there at all! :D

@mur2501 Heh. My mitro, I had to check Netflix if they had Narcos, and they did so I could go compare. I have never watched Narcos. :p

Yeah, there are huge similarities. ;)

Thanks for the sound cues. ;)

@swiley Note taken. I'm not going to remove the closed parts though.
