Oof. That hurts just hearing about it.

Yeah, I know how crazy expensive e-ink is, so I was curious what this dude paid. Dropping 2k on this means you have a lot of cash lying around.

That 32" display is priced as “ask for a quote”, lol.

Lenovo has been offering laptops without Windows for quite some time. I bought one with FreeDOS because I wanted to run Linux over 10 years ago. Really nice that they do that for you now.

Fucking asshole. We really do need to change the way we run businesses. Mainly by removing all billionaires.

The funny thing is that the people who can afford all that overpriced garbage are usually so old, they can’t hear all that well anymore.

It’s more about users being able to find them again. If they lose all domain names, it becomes difficult to figure out which are the new ones.

Sheer force of will.

I know, it’s hard to bring nuance to this. The current copyright system is completely fucked. I think we still need some sort of copyright, but one that expires after like 10 years after first publication. I would actually be fine with everything being used to train AI models, if AI wouldn’t require ungodly amounts of resources and the companies wouldn’t be owned by tech bro assholes. If it would belong to us all, be free to use and not burn down our world even quicker, AI would be fine.

Fuuuck copyright.

These sites are losing domain names left and right at the moment. The fucking copyright mafia is spending a lot of effort at the moment.

Kim Schmitz has always been a grifter and an asshole. I wish him all the worst.

According to that page, she was married for 11 more years after she died. That’s commitment.

Motherfucker.

What’s a boomer shooter?

With modern LED lights I read that it might be better to just keep them on because heat cycling reduces their lifespan, forcing you to replace them and thus costing more money than the electricity would cost.

Oh yes. I do the same. And I often fantasize about telling these dicks that their turn signals are broken.

Katherine Long sounds great. Her second attack, with fake board meeting notes is so dedicated.

I had no idea what the opposite of my taste would look like until now. What do you call this style? Gaudy?

Back when I was at uni I had a fellow student from England who complained about the formal you in German. It took him to start learning Japanese to realize it’s really not that bad. In German it used to be that you say Sie to any adult-looking person until you both agreed to use du. At work this is a lot more relaxed now with entire companies stating everybody used du. Makes it much easier and nicer, in my opinion.
