It’s such a pain in the ass. Back in the day, after years of not being able to get me to help with the cleaning, my mom finally gave up and said “if you would like to help me clean the apartment I’d really appreciate it…”. Guess who started cleaning right away. Removing the demand made all the difference. Stupid brain.
I don’t trust them. They better fire him and hire a Jim Abacus.
You’re being unreasonable, it’s a farm not an ocean! Ever seen a water farm? Didn’t think so.
We need a file format that degrades into black and white over time.
…for now.
Oh I use a VPN 24/7 and wouldn’t have it any other way (even though I also don’t think it’s strictly necessary), but I already have a provider that I trust, is fast and cost only like <$3/month I think.
I’m thinking of trying Proton Pass for free which I think you can do, but the main attraction is to get away from the Google suite and incorporate a more privacy focused one. Having a calendar, generating unlimited email aliases to store in the password manager etc.
Go have some lördagsplopp!
Even USB-C dongles suck.
There are two types: ones that passes through the analog audio signal from the phone’s internal DAC, and ones that have a built in DAC and pretty much acts as external USB sound card. You need to know which type your phone supports and which type it is you’re buying.
If it’s the type that has a built-in DAC (which I think is the most common but I might be wrong) they are fury-inducing absolute monstrous pains in the ass if there’s the slightest glitch in the USB connection. Because it’s like unplugging the audio device. Playback just stops for seemingly no reason and it doesn’t resume once the connection is good again.
My solution is wired headphones plugged in to a small BT receiver I keep in my pocket. That way I get both an annoying cable and shitty audio quality lol.
It looks like Microsoft try to do everything to

FTFY
Someone think of those poor speakers out there in the cold and spray some expanding foam into the speaker grills.
With all the contradictions in the prompt used, maybe this shorter one would even work better for their purposes lol
Free speech as in “free (from) speech (we don’t like)”
This is why humans make good batteries.
Still though, Windows 2000 Professional was king even on the user desktop. Imo as a user, it’s only beaten by Windows 7.
Yeah there are many great things about Proton. It’s just so damn expensive. Had it been like $7 per month (charged monthly) I’d already been a customer. I’m guessing the VPN carries the highest cost for Proton, so it’d be nice to have the option for the whole suite except the VPN.
Linux
Mintis also an option 😉
I’ll try this one. Sadly I don’t have the luxury of online meetings.
It’s just a miniscule step of enshittification away.
Self hosting email has been a hard no for way over a decade at this point, maybe two. It’s a terrible idea.
Just a VPN. Thinking about trying out Proton’s suite and maybe pay for that if it’s worth it. Otherwise I’m more and more leaning on OSS and self hosted things these days because corporations have shown themselves not to be trusted with anything important.
You were. But no longer. It is ruined.
