   I get music and DVD's from thrift stores and my local eBay equivalent. So yeah there's definitely a cutoff. You're right, the newer stuff is difficult if not impossible to get a physical copy of. I just don't bother. I g

   I disagree, 192kpbs music and DVD quality movies and shows are fine with me and the disk space requirements are low. Classics are dirt cheap and ripping them is trivial.

   I pulled out of all clouds when it comes to my personal stuff recently (including streaming stuff, I just store music, movies and shows locally like I did 15 years ago). I didn't realize I missed the simplicity so much. Just back up yo

   I stand corrected. Thank you.

   Yeah and laughter is not actual medicine. The metaphor works though even if it's based on a myth.

   Looking at their post history they seem a little paranoid. Apparently Reddit bans their accounts as soon as they make them, too.

   You can also try Consent-O-Matic, a plugin that will tell cookie banners whatever you pre-define. I set it to refuse everything. Doesn't work for all sites, but most that have industry standard banner software installed work.

    I would love a super bare bones electric car. One that functions the same as any late 90s/early 2000s era car would, except with an electric power train and maybe cruise control.

    I don't see Discord as a replacement for forums, but as a replacement for TeamSpeak/Ventrilo. The chat is an added bonus. As far as I know there is no other voice communication program that handles voice channels TeamSpeak style w

    Genuinely inquiring: Why do you want this functionality? For things like finding it in a parking lot and such?

    Shitty situations should be remedied. This is most definitely a shitty situation. To effect change we need to keep the pressure up and keep calling out shitty behavior. That is indeed redundant and tiring but it must be done.

    There's a few reasons. You have to be aware that you're sinking time into your phone, realise that it is a problem and then exercise constant vigilance to keep from falling back into old habits, comparable to many other addictions

    Funny, my first thought was Eise Eisinga's planetarium from the 18th century. I've visited, it's a work of art. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eise_Eisinga_Planetarium edit: As also mentioned in the other

    That doesn't make sense. If I wanted to type a password into some other program for whatever reason I wouldn't find out that I can't paste into the password field until I had already tried.

    Philips is not exactly a European household appliance manufacturer, they've sold off most of that and moved into health tech.

    Yeah you're right, that's fair. I think any up to date iPhone will do though, so if you want to go this route you could buy the cheapest one you can find (hell, the screen could be smashed, who cares?), do the configuration and th

    I also have a cellular Watch. Combined with some AirPods it works great if all you need is phonecalls which is a good use case if you want to be available without a time sucking little monster in your pocket.

    If you prepare for a case like this then it's easy. If you get caught off guard (like I imagine most people will) it's hard. I have an unhealthy habit of switching between FOSS and Apple a few times a year (don't ask) and gen

    I had a 2002 Saab 9-5 Sedan automatic transmission blow out on the day I bought it. ODO said about 300k km (190k miles give or take). The dealer replaced the car with a younger 9-5 Wagon with lower mileage so I'm kinda glad it did. Tha

    I'm Western European so this kind of thing does not have the partisan colouring you seem to read into this, at least to me. I chose this nick because I've always liked the Intel codenames. :-) What I'm arguing here is that we
