They’re still immeasurably better than Spotify, both for artists and in terms of bitrate…

I dunno, I have so many USB c chargers and cables around that I bin them every time a device comes with another cable.

Yes I completely understand that. But it also undermines the “give your older laptop a new life with Linux” narrative that’s out there at times. It’s actually not that easy. I’m happy running Linux but I wouldn’t put it on my moms old laptop…

This is my life right now.

I put Linux on my HP laptop…

Speakers give weird sound Media keys don’t work Worst of all: ever since I updated the laptop somehow crashes my router? Like, I don’t even know how this is possible, but it’s happening.

I’m not an idiot but all the solutions to getting these seemingly basic things to work as intended are extremely contrived.

My wife has colitis and dairy fucks her up 😮

Can you drink tea?

Reboot your phone

I got adguard lifetime YEARS ago when it was super cheap. I’m glad there’s free alternatives now.

Probably for “security reasons”

Immediately lost me at non-tactile keyboard. Who wants this.

Public space used for the storage of personal items, paid for by tax or rate payers…

I bought an Epson ink tank printer because I was so done with cartridges. I’m quite happy with it so far. Always works, never saw any prompts for me to make accounts or install bullcrap software.

Exactly. If they don’t understand, like or want it for themselves, nobody is allowes to have it and they will defund, ban and punish.

See sexuality, reproductive health, the arts, basic education, etc.

Here in NZ they say you’re made redundant

Do you have some examples so I know what sort of stuff may be going on?

Yep, as much as I love adguard (and I’m SO happy I bought a lifetime android subscription ten years ago when it was just a few dollars), smaettube is probably enough for most

It’s probably safe until someone decides to go look what’s inside their smoke detector

Or right next to my balls for like 10 hours a day.

True. I grew up in the Netherlands where things are similar but now live in New Zealand. The highest tax bracket in NZ is the lowest tax bracket in the Netherlands.

It will be very difficult for me to go back and pay huge taxes again, knowing that despite the taxes healthcare isn’t free there and corporations getting so many tax incentives. it feels like the burden is unfairly placed on individuals.

It depends on the kind of work you do. My work is very collaborative, and despite trying I’ve not found online collaboration as effective.

It doesn’t help that the people working from home seem to have very different priorities.

Holy shit you guys pay a lot of taxes.
