It’s been a long time

Guardian links are unusable on ios

Easy there satan

Yeah I run it on my wifi. Yesterday it killed rouvy.com when I wanted to go for a ride. I don’t think it has decreased the number of ads I see either - all devices runs adblockers anyway

That will surely fix everything /s

While not Canadian - I’m currently rooting out all US services and products I’ve happily been paying for, cancelling outright or finding other alternatives.

I don’t see myself ever going back to happily buying US again.

That’s how it goes with all security vulnerabilities. IMHO sunlight is the best disinfectant for stuff like this. But yeah, it can cause some chaos.

Same here, why would I do it myself when they have staff to do it for me? Should I cook my own steak at the restaurant as well?

Also, it would decrease staff and still won’t lower the prices so fuck em

Well with other currencies you sort of have a nation state behind it, backing its value. Failing that, that nations armed services :-)

I don’t get crypto… is there any coin that’s actually usable as, you know, currency?

From what I can gather, none of them scale so each transaction is slooooow and expensive.

The coins themselves carry no value and is backed by jack-shit. Comparing them to baseball cards seems very apt. Baseball cards, bubbles and FOMO.

Just throw me in the trash

youtube doesnt work for me anymore:

enshittification continues

Windows2000 was my last. After having managed to work in IT and using Linux on my desktop, I started a new job last year which required me to use Windows11. I find it quite awkward.

Luckily WSL is a thing.

It’s a quote from the series

Crazy numbers

Nah, has always been brewing… but really began to pick up steam in the last 10 years or so. Guess it varies a bit depending on the country.

Meanwhile voters make the far-right the biggest party in France.

Good luck (everyone are so screwed)

Oh no! Anyway… The Dacia Sandero!

A late friend joined our IRC channel a few years ago. It was quite upsetting at first, before realising it was a member of his family starting up his computer.

RIP elf.

A healthy “fuck it, i don’t care” attitude goes a long way for me at least.

That, or “I don’t get paid enough to care, fuck em”
