@yahoo.com is still somewhat popular among us old farts.

Hm, okay. Maybe it’s just a US government page thing then. Here in Germany firefox is still at 20% and used to be the standard browser until 5-6 years ago, so maybe pages are still optimized for it here.

Can you send me an example? I don’t think I ever really encountered those sites and I use FF almost exclusively for ~20 years.

In Germany you have to show your ID card to get it, at least in theory.

“I am free to move there”, saying you are American/western European without saying you are American/western European.

Having a large country doesn’t necessarily mean that your cities and towns have to spread like crazy. Russia is even larger but the cities are much more compact than US cities.

I’d say here in Germany it is mostly a unpopularity contest.

Here we parents have to pay. But parents that cannot afford it can contact the authorities and get government funds for that without their children (and their friends) to ever learn about that.

“I loose money when I pay for Netflix.”

Hello from our companies “we finally need to get more AI” executive conference. I got find a way to get out of this corporate bullshit…

“We are falling behind” my ass.

I’ll have a look at that fetcher thing. Thx.

I am on Mastodon for 5 years now (fuck it is really 5 years since August 2019, what the hell) and just can’t get into it. It just feels lonely over there. What am I doing wrong?

Tbh, I think it is the post statistics thing. It says “1 reply”, then I click at ot and it has 4 replies and it ALWAYS says “0 favorites” even when 10 people comment how great that post was.

To show everyone that one can afford it, I guess.

In some crowded places they do it, so it doesn’t feel like a central station.

Most Germans wouldn’t notice. I didn’t. It is a very common mistake among Germans.

Lol to the “back in the day porn was safer”. Back innthe day the worst stuff was openly distributed on normal porn sites. It was actually difficult not to stumble over illegal ot really disturbing stuff when browsing those sites. And don’t get me started on the stuff people send you on some irc servers unasked (that was more in the late 90s though).

Even non porn sites could be bad. Like one time I was browsing a non-porn anime site and suddenly landed on a porn site that had me scared the police might kick in my door, despite closing it immediately after it opened.

This, luckily, is a lot better regulated nowadays.

I give you accessibility though. Having a internet connected computer in you pocket 24/7 might make things much worse.

It is great for pattern recognition (we use it to recognize damages in pipes) and probably pattern reproduction (never used it for that). Haven’t really seen much other real life value.

I am no expert. But afaik drivers normally are integrated into the kernel and intensively tested by several parties before getting onto your computer. Only for proprietary drivers this would be problematic under Linux.

I mean, there have been more than a dozen confirmed assassination attempts on Hitler (even suicide bomber attempts among them) and a few more unconfirmed possible attempts. The future did try their best (or just some brave people from the time itself).

I mean it is cool. But really a testament to why we deserve extinction at this point…
