He’s so eloquent when he speaks, like listening to a butterfly’s wings wafting over a boiling toilet

We need more people like you, thank you

“Most powerful semi-functioning democracy” ==/== “Leading democracy”

Isn’t one of the privileges of wealth that you can live where you want to, not where you can afford to?

So if you like living in a first world country, why not just pay the extra tax and stay there?

Words paraphrased from a Mitchell&Webb sketch

If you use a VPN for official or login services, access those services from the same VPN endpoint.

If you use it for anonymous stuff, go nuts.

Oh fair. I guess Google peeked into a suspicious account, saw messages, and alerted the police. Yeah dark.

You try to login to your google account with the right credentials from several different locations? Yeah that’s suspicious.

1-3 regular locations per account is a bit more normal

Completely agree. The people I found online in those early days were just random people without any motive or incentive to sell me on an ideology. There was a trust back then, because opinions weren’t really worth anything and no one could access your wallet.

Finding that some community now is a total minefield for users, young or old. So much of the internet has been gamified for a profit/scam at any cost.

I wish that kids could just connect with other random kids across the world like I did, but I think those days are likely done.

I developed an inner life, it was the only peace I could find from the daily assault that was my outer life. Sure in the past it was more visible habits like reading a book, but letting kids have some autonomy over their lives is important I feel

They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents,

Uh…

Wow, finally graphene has been cracked. Exciting times for portable low-energy computing

Fallen from grace, because I’ve been away too long

“Ive lost 20 pounds since last month through exercising!”
“Haven’t you gained 40 pounds through eating in that same time?”

Snark aside, still a good thing.

Theyre gonna have to outbid Musk…

Help me, Smithers!

they’re going to get them anyway, look how close the AfD came in the last election in Germany.

At least with coalition powers, the other parties (Greens, Lib Dems, Tories…, MRL) can make a coalition with Labour and cut Reform out of the running. (Assuming Labour get some kind of majority…)

If Labour are smart, they’ll opt to abolish FPTP before the next election. This 40% majority bullshit is enough.

Ah interesting, thanks for context

I would guess majority of bluetooth audio devices don’t even support mac address randomization

Wouldn’t that be a nightmare for pairing? The device wakes and tries to connect to the last device it was paired to, only to find unknown vendors

I’m a bit confused by your metaphor then (and thanks for the constructive insults, brings me back to the old reddit days…), since why take issue with something you dont own or use in the first place? Is the piano the headjack, or is it the bluetooth?
