But that would require some mechanism for redistributing wealth and taking care if those who choose not to work, and everyone knows that’s communism.

Wheel weights. Their wheels will be unbalanced, meaning their steering will vibrate at certain speeds, depending on what the new balance is.

It’s not unsafe per se, at least not primarily. It’s annoying as fuck tho.

I wish streaming companies would take notes from Spotify. It’s not too expensive, non-exclusive, acceptable quality even on higher end gear.

Doesn’t shove idiotic recommendations on my face, doesn’t bug me about my address, doesn’t randomly drop in quality because my neighbour is taking a piss. Looking at you, Netflix, you expensive useless piece of shit.

(I’m fact, Spotify’s recommendations are so good that I’m constantly finding new stuff I actually like.)

No it wouldn’t. Phones aren’t cheap.

Because the EU is such a massive market, EU law tends to bleed out. It’s expensive to keep different SKUs for different regions, so compliance tends to seep out.

I’d expect at least some of this to have an impact outside the EU.

Interesting, I always thought it had to do with Android’s ungodly software stack which at some point involves, of all things, fucking java.

Okay, let me rephrase that.

That’s easy to achieve if you use a massive billion-person platform to aggressively push Threads on everyone’s faces and make it very easy to accidentally create an account.

Better?

Jay-Zed as a joke is definitely something I’ve done.

He can’t anything except pay for it, let’s not diminish the achievements of the actual talented people working on those projects.

Sometimes my car decides to play some radio before connecting to my phone. It’s an unfortunate side-effect of owning a not-too-nice car.

Radio DJs are little more than advertising agents nowadays. Or worse, wannabe entertainers.

My landlord remortgaged the house to pay for a year-long trip around the world.

I guess it’s good he’s enjoying my money.

Also no one else being there.

Also being in my home.

Also getting to work in pants.

So I guess nothing, then 👌

Cool, Meta can fuck right off the EU. Good riddance.

Also memmy devs aren’t bogged down by the 10 layers of corporate bullshit your average dev has to deal with.

Also PC companies are getting greedy as fuck and charging Apple prices while not delivering an Apple experience.

Sent from my iPhone, which I bought because Samsung decided to double their prices between the S9 and the S23, all the while expecting me to put up with the train wreck that is the Android app ecosystem.

My guess is they’ll keep pushing early updates into TestFlight. But seeing as I could never get on there, having it the store is a boon 😁

Here’s how I read this:

“We’re doubling the price of this chocolate this year. Here’s a bogus excuse as to why. Enjoy.”

Don’t you know that women can’t be electricians? It messes with the ovaries.

Frankly this is one of those things I kinda hope self-driving cars will help fix, given that we’ll just never have decent public transport.

Over 65? Here’s a test every year. Can’t drive to a high standard? Licence invalidated, go get yourself a car that drives itself, which at this point should be going for a comparable price.
