It's such a challenge coming up against this stuff. So many people will (understandably) just accept it and go along with it. Surveillance is normalised. Data breaches of our most sensitive data are normalised. Companies simply giving

Picturing octogenarians with disproportionately long arms and legs is hilarious. Beats shrinking in height from bone loss and the impacts of having a fall in your 80s.

There are some editions, often made for schools, that have the original text on the right hand page with translations/explanations of the language on the left hand page. The description of the jokes, puns, euphemisms, and general turns

I'm sorry to be that guy but do you have literally any source for this? Might just be the musicians I like, or the fact that negativity is better for clicks, but I've never seen an artist saying they get any benefit from ticketmas

This made me think of all the copyright claiming against classical musicians performing pieces for the sound recording copyright (rather than the piece itself being copyrighted; so many pieces are out of copyright in a significant number of

I'm glad you found it useful! They've got template letters for sending to politicians on the topics of greener death options and other related stuff. Maybe you can help your politicians know that it's an option that people wa

The Order of the Good Death has loads of resources on how to have these conversations, what your options for advanced directives etc. are, and guides on how to set everything up. https://www.orderofthegooddeath.com/ They al

I also love unity! I was devastated when it was dropped. It's been kinda revived recently iirc. I've since switched to Linux mint for my daily driver which I can highly recommend.

Switching away from kindle is going to require some initial amount of faffing about, no matter what. I feel your pain. Once you've done the initial annoyances of deDRMing your kindle stuff, you can use the kobo account and store. I kno

I got a Kobo Libra Colour on its release and I also could not be happier. It is my first eink device so I've no experience with other devices. I was reading digitally on my phone prior. The kobo is pretty bomb proof and is repairable a

Not quite what you asked for, but I use an under desk bicycle rather than treadmill. I cycle most of the day and do some of the day standing up (on a rubber mat not a treadmill). I love it. The desk cycle doesn't get in the way when si

They also relied on schools when I was going through school, even before the free license for students offers. My schools would get cheap or free use of office suite, windows, and adobe creative suite, we'd all learn to do our class wo

+1 for moissanite! I went with moissanite for my engagement ring. A lab grown diamond with equivalent specs was $13000 (AUD). The moissanite was $700 (AUD) which was in line with other international jewellery vendors' prices. You can g

Give them some credit - Forza Horizon 5 was extremely buggy on release and for months after! Many non-race goals/activities, a significant part of gameplay were totally broken. I don't know if it ever got better? It could have bee

I felt the same way with Ubuntu. It was so frustrating. I was also considering moving to Debian or Fedora but a few years ago I ended up cracking the shits with Ubuntu and installed Mint for my daily driver just to finally move on and I&#x2

IBM repeatedly cleaning house of anyone approaching (let alone in or even rarely beyond) middle age is abhorrent. It's funny to characterise people's beef with IBM as that they're boring, old, and stale when IBM are apparent

Oh, living in 'less desirable' locations! Why haven't any of us thought of that! I'll spread the news! What do you consider 'cheap' housing? What are these fabled jobs where this cheap housing is? Can't ma

One of the reviews says to look at the sample, but it looks like the sample isn't available any more. Might just be a regional thing that the sample isn't available but maybe they removed it intentionally lol

I was never confused about what is more popular. Re-reading what I wrote might make that clearer to you? My interpretation of the phrase strictly retains the semantics, including that of the word 'order' to essentially mean '

Also an anarchist! Totally agree. Oh how I dream of it! It's been very frustrating watching so much police violence, corruption, etc. being openly reported internationally and nothing changing, at all. In Australia (and from what I&#x2

I don't understand how it's a 'very weird take' on its meaning. Is it any weirder than people finding comfort in it? It's just hilarious (and confusing) to me that it's just as easily a condemnation rather than

Beautifully said. Your comment about slogans reminds me of the 'thin blue line between anarchy and order' slogan the police themselves use which, to me, is a bare-faced admission of existing to protect the property and interests o

They have rss feeds[0] but it looks like it's more for notifications of new content or creators rather than direct downloads for the videos/podcasts. I don't think they'd implement something like direct downloads but idk

Decent street lighting has never stopped Australians with retina burners, stock or aftermarket. It also wasn't a problem before LEDs. People who had spotlights fitted to their cars never used them on the road (when others were around)

The wealthy ones who gleefully pulled the ladder up will be fine; they can pay for their care. Everyone else? Not so much.
