Still dislike Microsoft for cheaping out on the later generations Lumia. Cheaper displays so the 950 didnt support Glance. Wth?

I still miss my 920 tho. The Lumia 920 is only recently dethroned as my favorite (smart)phone of all time.

Microsoft messed up badly in Europe by completely and utterly ignoring the continent. Nokia managed to gain a larger marketshare than Apple in both Italy and France at the time. With meaningful marketshares in the rest of Europe.

Nokia was doing alright in several Asian countries Microsoft ignored as well.

After the take over, Microsoft kept all their resources forced on the US market, failed and in turn lost the European and Asian markets.

GG.

The 7 october 2023’s bodycam footage will haunt me when I turn senile.

It is ignored by most people just like Iran bombing Tel Aviv in october 2024, by Iranian official statements, celebrate Hamas their actions a year prior.

The current result in Gaza was the only realistic outcome of what started 3 years ago.

However this is not proportionate and is just making sure this cycle will continue forever by creating a new generation of ‘terrorists’. It is a dumb course of action and even though most of the world hates on Israel for the wrong reasons, the international pressure is valid.

Israel pretends to be a civilized nation, then it should start acting like it.

How come Hamas is not in your list?

It makes perfect sense.

Palestinian terrorists initially claimed responsibilty for the attack. Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank were celebrating the 9/11 attack en masse.

It is a perfect argument to use the 9/11 memory to defend the Palestinian cause.

How are they casually finding these home assistant servers? I sure hope people dont have port 8123 exposed publicly like that? Are you all broadcasting it in to the ether?

The Fairly Oddparents is kind of the last reminisce of golden age Cartoon Network.

I would wish the EU would be more strict in its laws. Cookiebanners are NOT required when you only use functional cookies that the website technically needs to work. I never had to show the banner for my websites, because I simply don’t include 3rd party bullshit, no ads, no tracking.

Same with the new age rating rules, websites and communities that aim at CHILDREN are required to not be invasive when checking for age (ID checks are last fucking resorts!). If your website or community is obviously 18+, like porn, gore and such websites. There is no requirement for an age check!

Fuck the companies abusing our EU systems and that put the EU in a bad spotlight because of RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE social media ragebait.

Why the fuck is it socially acceptable for billion dollar (foreign!) tech companies to manipulate our children?

Why did we normalize getting our asses spied on? And why are we accepting the excuse of these tech companies to scan our ID’s and passports?

The GDPR does not allow scanning of identity cards/passports except for a very limited section. Like: banks, your employer, your health insurance and your government. These tech companies are not on the GDPR VIP list.

That’s because of the 22,3 year rule. Tragedies become funny to joke about without shockhumor after about 22,3 years. Like aids became socially funny ~20 years ago and 9/11 became socially acceptable to joke about just shortly after COVID.

It’s uncanning how accurate Matt and Trey’s documentary was. As usual.

No wai!

i mean, yeah they were memes and used as memes.

You’d just be chilling on IRC or the alt-binaries somewhere for your daily dose of Warez, random link appears, you click it. BWAM Goatse in your face. And people where laughing.

These early rotten.com-like memes are basically the source for the Rickroll, the not being able to trust links thankfully turned in to a fun song.

If that’s the approach you’re going to take. You are aware that the US has a lot of its economy and position to thank of their global projection of power. The current above global average standards of living in the US is not possible without this mass exploitation of the world.

Which thanks to the orange baboon is falling apart, good luck amigos.

lollercoasters.

I still use icanhazip.com to find my wan ip.

orly?

These fine owls are still living rent free in my head.

But the worst are probably Goatse, 2girls1cup, 1guy1jar, all the nazi ascii stuff. Modern day memers have it easy.

My homelab has become a whole lot less fun with current memory and storage prices.

Minecraft uses a ton of that. Not a bad analogy i suppose.

Netflix has been listing piracy as their biggest competition for a couple of years now.

It is the threat to corpos we think it is. They are using and bending the legal system rather than treating it as actual competition. Which is a direct threat to our freedom.

After setting up my own Jellyfin, i just cant stand paid streaming. It is like going back a decade experience wise with a 90s experience in quality.

Who knew VHS water and night artifacts would still be common in 2026.

They’ve attempted to kill off java several times. It’s been second graded for years now in development. Geyser became a chore, using bedrock for java isnt fun anymore(it ran so much smoother, i kinda miss it). The list of bedrock exclusive features keeps growing each patch.

Not just the streamers, Java’s community is massive thanks to Bukkit, Spigot, Paper and the like. They know that dropping java would just result in a fork to a clone. As the majority of the Minecraft community infrastructure is not dependent on Mojang and Microsoft.

The Palestinians get, or used to get, a lot of of their fresh water from Israel.

This fucks them both, but now part of the suffering are israeli, makes it okay? Making them your martyrs?
