Welcome to the real world Neo. Don’t take the pill with 777 permissions btw.

Welcome to topology where your mug is a toroid and the orientation matters a lot.

Since bread cannot be attached to language in any orientable way, you are right: It ain’t a sandwich, it’s a salad!

You can’t tell me what to do!!!

…but it kinda makes sense, so I won’t hit it with a hammer 😐

I bought the FP3, then upgraded it to an FP3+ when the camera broke. Never had as much fun with a phone before or since. It has been my daily driver for years and it did everything well enough, if a bit slow. My friends either get new phones or use them despite visible damage because they can’t fix them. Now I ordered the FP5 to have the 3+ as a backup and test setup and I am confident I will use the FP5 for 3-6 years again :)

Fairphones are like an odd car: There are sleeker, faster, cheaper and maybe just better alternatives around. However you still like it and just learn where to hit it with a hammer when it starts making funny noises. If you can afford it and like odd devices, it’s for you.

Star Trek: Picard, when the Borg wake up and the Romulans just vacuum them out. In that moment the Cube should have automatically teleported them back inside. If the teleporters were down for some reason, the remaining Drones would just happily continue working in hard vacuum and proceed to assimilate the shit out of the Romulans. What happened was an uncalled for nerf of the Borg.

I thought so too, then I noticed people driving more aggressively.

Don’t forget that we recently had a pandemic with a virus that is known to cause permanent brain damage. This includes reduced motor function, mental capacity and personality changes.

I’m sorry if my grammar betrays my words, I am not a native speaker.

Bro, you just outphrased the native speakers.

Remember people: Most alternative browsers are chormium under the hood! Not Firefox though :)

Commie: Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with a Neo-Nazi.

Nazi: What about side by side with a temporary political ally to seize power?

Commie: Aye. I could do that.

Along with search and many other things. Probably most of theur devs are optimizing user distraction and ad click rate, instead of… basic functionality 😐

Removal of all benefits of civilization to… own the libs?

Good bot

(…do we say this here?)

Note to self: Become a bridge trader.

Fun fact: You can recreate a lot of this by starting your own website. Remember all the quirky, niche stuff you could stumble over? Large corporate sites forced all of that onto their server and baited people with millions of views and money. Everything not viral was punished and hidden away. But we can still jsut put stuff on the web for free or for a couple of bucks with a webhoster somewhere. It’s work, it serves small audiences and it might be totally overlooked. But it will be YOURS.

In that sense, promote your blog or website here: https://feddit.de/c/blogging

One thing I don’t get: How were people convinced that an entry in a blockchain somehow results in ownership. People understand ownership and its limits: They lock their bikes when they leave them somewhere, because if there is no enforcement you can lose property. The NFT scammers never mentioned enforcement once, yet somehow you “owned” some ape picture. How did that happen?

I don’t get it. One the one hand people who get behind this kind of article would jump at the change to tell women to “make them a sandwich”. Now that it’s happening… it’s a problem. Wat?

We saw the mass adoption of the internet, which before was mostly used by a small group of techies. Now we might be heading to a split: The mass walled garden and a separate smaller but free internet.

I think this system is flawed beyond repair.

Of course, but will that stop somebody from trying to push it? ;)
