Pretty sure my dad’s secondary desktop I used for my first Linux install had a 1.2 GHz Duron or something and 512 MB. I’m pretty sure I got that funky compiz fusion 3D-cube desktop running on there 😅

Interestingly it loads today. I have AdAway on my phone and PiHole in my home network

Archive Link or alternative source? This crappy site refuses to load due to my AdBlock

There’s this one Nazi CEO that I hope we can agree either has no soul or at least one that we could do without. Yet we’re not killing him.

Killing people is wrong and while there may be factors that make it seem more warranted, nothing will ever make it right.

Tried that many times. It has given me the exact same place for slightly cheaper than AirBnB once. Other times it was more expensive but most often of simply had worse choices.

I guess: great concept, shitty company.

Like with so many “tech giants”, they had a great idea but greed is spoiling it. I wish we had more “public infrastructure” for this. I’d love to have OSS, tax-funded or at least heavily regulated SoMe, video sharing, home swapping/renting, local marketplace, … Those should not be industries, they should be part of our society’s fabric like the fire department or trash pick-up.

I share a lot of of the criticism towards AirBnB. However, I’ve often ended up using them either way. We travel with a dog and a toddler. They need to be allowed in the first place. And ideally we get a kitchen, a separate room so we can still have normal noise and light when the kid sleeps. Often we even find Airbnbs with toys, kids books, dog beds, treats on the table when we arrive, …

You simply don’t get that in hotels. At least not in a price range I’ve considered so far

At this point being banned might be a good thing to drive home the point that also my favorite of the old corporate internet platforms should be avoided. I’m doing quite okay on staying away from Meta and have long deleted my Twitter account. I can’t get myself do drop Reddit somehow. Seems like they’re only helping me get off my addiction

I think there’s a huge difference between fighting bullying or hate speech against minorities. Another thing is making fun of very specific and very public people.

This comment made me double check. They’re from San Francisco: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework_Computer

I’d prefer to buy taiwanese tbh. 😉

Wow, that stuff looks awesome! Thanks for sharing 🙏

Now, can we have a cool European company doing similar stuff? At the rate it’s going I can’t decide whether I shouldn’t buy American because I don’t want to support a fascist country or because I’m afraid the country might crumble so badly that I can’t count on getting service for my device.

Seems like “drain the swamp” turned into “put the swamp monster in charge, give it steroids and flood the forest”
