I had no idea you could do that, sweet!
That is a good point, I have never done that, and to me it is just a chat system…
Insults, very compelling argument!
Go back to Reddit with that shit!
Why?
Why is channel history needed for new users?
Back in the IRC days you joined a channel that was just empty, if you wanted the history you had to run an IRC client continously, I remember running screen irssi on a separate computer and sshing into the server, reconnecting the screen with irssi in it.
If you want the history automatically, you can’t expect privacy.
My Lumix S5 camera, it feels great to go from a micro43 camera to a full frame camera, though I am allready looking at the Sony A7 IV as a complement to my S5 due to it’s superior autofocus…
Youtube - I use uBlock Origin, and a mental tool, I curate the shit out of my watch history, if I watch a video that falls even slightly outside my core focus, I will remove it from my history.
If I discover a new channel to watch I still remove the videos watched from my history.
Only when I have watched enough videos from the channel that I know the content will I keep the history.
Thank you, I love the thread and have wanted to show it off to more people, and felt like this is the perfect place.
I will do it slow and steady to try and make it last as long as possible.
This is what I believe will make a great society.
Strong social democracy.
You have a country with relatively high taxes, a government providing strong safety nets and a free market boosting the economy.
Fines are all dayfines with no upper limit.
Education is free, to a point, you get grades 1-12 for free and you get to have two trade school/college programs for free with automatic grants for spending money, and low interest loans for those who want more. If you fail to complete the educations then after the second one, the grants and low interest loans are forefit.
Healthcare costs say 20EUR for a normal appointment, after ten appointments in a year any further appointments are free.
Emergency care is free.
Medicine costs are low, but if you have to pay more than 300eur for prescription drugs in a year, further prescription drugs are free.
There is an upper limit to personal wealth, you can make 500 million EUR, way more than anyone will ever need, any further money earned will be put in a fund for social and environmental development. The money you earn will however still be logged as having beened earned by you, so you get put on a highscore list and can show others your acchivement. You’ll still be rich, you just won’t be flying private jet all over rich, or owning 17 super yatchs rich.
Prisons will focus on rehabillitation and realively short punnishments, at first, at the third sentence where a criminal reoffends, they will be given a storage sentence, much longer prison time where the government protects society against criminals who are not interested in living a normal life.
It kinda looks like a case/skin for the original Palm Pilot

They are guarding the Goa’uld in your basement!
I hadn’t even thought about that!
The thread started in 2003, so the thread is 21 years old, it has 90+ pages of glorious stupidities.
If I were a parent I would absolutely show my kids this thread, once they are older…
The 100% fake enthusiasm, especially if it comes after buying a mediocre product.
The annoying corporate speak.
The bad voice over where lipsyncing is completely gone, this is mostly a thing of the past here in Sweden, but from time to time you get ads from companies launching a product across europe and only record one video to the ad and then translate and do a new voiceover for specific languages as needed, but fail to sync the audio with the video.
Annoying music, for months now a company has been pushing their financial services withe the same terrible ad that is a slideshow and an increadibly annoying music, there is no person talking, they just have a fast tempo music track. I have vowed to never buy anything from them because their ad sucks and is annoying.
Reusing ads, sometimes a company buys almost all ad slots on YT over months and reuse their one ad video so it is completely grating.
Self-righteousness, some ads go from being overly enthusiastic to being intolerably self-righteous. There was a new clinic chain of companies that started a big push a few years ago on yt and for several months you had to listen to an overly kind and happy grandmother wearing a company branded sweater, faking a hearty laugh and telling people to go to their clinic.
My car can only increment in 5km/h steps, snd it is a bit too large to do this, but I would do this if I could
Ok, then I misenterpreted your comment, sorry about that.
So you blame Firefox for Tiktok being shit?
I remember being taught in school to apply source criticism, and that seems to have largely died as a concept.
This was back in the early 2000s…
It isn’t even a justification, it is simple defensive driving, as I was taught in driving school, and reenforced by my dad many times.
The Presidential Coalition is, and you’ll be shocked to learn it, a non profit organisation to support the conservative republican party.
Then you need to lift off the accellerator, don’t brake check or anything, just slowly slow down.
If the car behind you won’t give you enough safety margin to maintain a high speed, then your only option to maintain safety is to reduce your speed so that the safety margin they give you is enough to stop in time for an accident.
Here in Sweden we have plenty of roundabouts, I will use those to also get rid of annoying drivers who just can’t manage their distance, if I have someone like that behind me when I get to a roundabout, I just drive a full lap of the roundabout and let them pass.
I will allways let these guys past when I can, they are in a rush to their own accident, and I am not, let them pass and and make them stop being my problem, if I can’t find a place to let them pass I will reduce my speed to compensate for their lack of safety margins
My car has been amazing, I got my license about 2 years ago, and after relying on busses and trains to get around for eight years and living alone, having a car is just fantastic.
Thinking smaller, my cameras, I got properly into photography back in 2017 when I bought a Lumix GX80, and got a 14-140mm lens for it, it taught me soooooo much about taking nice photos. Then last year I upgraded to a Lumix S5, and damn, it is a really nice camera! The only thing that annoys me with it is the slow AF, so I am already planning on getting two other cameras to complete my setup… But anyway, my cameras has helped me a lot when it comes to go out and do stuff, simply because I want to get the photos!
Thinking smaller yet, my Hue system is amazing.
Being able to open the door to my apartment and being greeted by a nicely lit apartment rather than a black void when comming home from work is just fantastic.
