A warm seat, juck.

Same as washing your hands with warm water, no warm seats for me.

Because they love their colonial overlords, the UK, and the UK gave part of palestina to the jews to create Israel?

Must be something like that, or just plain longing to influence a tiny part of the world that is close to the area that has a tad of oil in the ground.

As reliable as Trump?

We only wash the bed linnen and then hang it out to dry (mynwife hates a dryi r, we got rid of it more them 15y ago). When making the bed, bottom and top are fitted around the matress in 1 go (I’m to lazy to lift the matress twice).

No matter if that criminal wins or not, EU needs to fend for themselves. The US is a lot more unreliable then Poetin (we know he’s a bastard).

What helps here is to start reading. Most of the times I wake up with a book open, as I manage distract my mind from random thoughts.

Exactly. When people work somewhere, they need to earn a living wage. When they give exceleny=t service, you can tip, no matter which business they’re in.

Interesting… time to dive into those books.

I was messing about in a fighter simulator (previous milenium) and the game told me I did an insane move. It sticked, so I called myself TheInsane. In an online game, that nick was already in use, so I got the suggestion to take TheInsane1… nah, there is only 1 answer to everything, so I added that. It stuck since then. I got me the matching domain in '22.

I’m using KoffieNu as well, as it matched my domain koffie.nu (proud owner since '98), mainly on mastodon, git and some dutch lemmy instances.

Tipping should be to reward personel for excelent service, not to enable companies to underpay their workers. Every worker should earn a living wage. When a company goes bust when they have to pay workers a living wage, they have no right to exsist and should go bust.

open gmail and see ublock report >1k trackers blocked What tracker bust?

Oh wait, torrents and stuff… never mind.

Relying on a basic understanding how things/situations work.

At a new school, I really messed up a math test. I was studying like crazy, learned all formulas that I would need and managed to apply them all in each question on the test, combining all off them each question. Lowest score possible (1 out of 10), as I really messed up. Next test I didn’t study, I jusy flipped trough the book, checked 1 situation I didn’t understood and made the test. On handing out the teacher asked what I did different then the previous test. I told him I didn’t study, I just checked if it was logically to me and decided I understood as much as I could. He told me to do just that on all tests and I’d have no problems with education and gave me the result, a perfect score. (10 out of 10)

That was 34y ago and still I want to understand things and see the logic behind it. Works perfectly on almost everything. (Humans behavious still mostly eludes me though, totally illogical 🤨)

For me the old internet was an escape from real life. I hate crowds, so I preferred the internet in '94. It was fun, new and all other nerds were just like me, so I understood them (ok, most of them). Now ‘normals’ have taken over as well as companies.

Yea olde internet was for sharing useful information, learning and communicating with like minded, now internet is primarily for earning cash (companies) and having opinions sent out/manipulated. To much noice, not enough information.

GPG signatures are set by the sender to prove the message is originating from the sender and is unchanged. It’s signed with the private key and verified with the public key.

It is in no way a method to verify if the information is correct or rubbish. I can tell you the earth is flat and sign it, but all you know on verifying the signature is that the info was unaltered, not if it’s correct or not.

In my defence, internet was setup to share information, openly. That’s broken now.

It’s ruined as well, but you’re right, semantics is important.

The general population entering internet and companies trying to take over to monetize internet.

Nop, Wikipedia shows that the term is dependent on the country and/orregion woth for the US being the '40-'50 the period, most ending tha boomer period before the '70s and fance being the only one as late as '73 to end that period.

That it’s highly misused by the last generations as they don’t understand the earlier ones. It would be just as bad to call everybody born after '65 milennial.

Skip the gun. No civilized country will let you have it.

No need to limit yourself to US tld’s, country ones for funny domains can be stable as well. My domain koffie.nu (coffee.now in Dutch), registered in '98, is still going strong. I just hope the rising sealevel won’t wipe away the country any time soon.

Ours is still alive and can be voted on in 10 days.
