Oh wow, dial-up in Germany died 20+ years ago. I’m surprised that’s still a thing. Well, was. But until now is really staggering. I wonder what you could even still do over such a connection, considering that even messenger services and email now use 3-5MB just completing the server handshake.
I call bullshit on this one. Their only “source” is an alleged video on Twitter, with a link that doesn’t resolve (anymore?).
Really good so far, else I’d never made it to book 3. I tend to drop books nowadays if I don’t really get into them right away.
Well the left one has a very visible pattern, hence I picked it.
Left one, I didn’t even see the etching. Might as well not be there.
Back to the stone age it is!
It’s still active as in, they maintain the hotspots. But I just had a look at the map, and it looks like there’s spotty service mostly clustered around tiny villages, rather than providing coverage to areas that actual get significant tourism or other visitors.
In Europe that’s mostly biological progress as the old timers are jumping into the box. Not sure why it’s still significantly more in the US. Lack of education and religious influence probably?
I read those news in a way that she’s now in a low risk facility with plenty of other people around who might casually remove a witness, rather than stuck in isolation in a max security prison where every ‘suicide’ would be met with public outrage.
Blocking the instance silences their communities, not the people commenting elswhere.
All the communities hosted on their instance are managed by and for crybabies.
Yep, you can always traverse the intestine and poke out of the ass.
Currently on book 3 of the Abhorsen saga (which actually goes by the name ‘Abhorsen’ after Sabriel (book 1) and Lirael (book 2).
Oh I love cows, especially medium rare with a side of creamy mashed potatoes and green pepper sauce.
So no, it’s not that, it’s the vegan proselytizing and general attitude.
Not at all. I just don’t care for the ‘holier than though’ crowd.
Couldn’t agree more.
And people still ask why the blahaj instances get banned. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
People actually use RCS and Google messages?
I’d rather eat a spoonful of dry instant coffee than set foot into this establishment.
My thoughts exactly, what a heap of crap. Tom’s Guide used to be one of the good ones out there, real shame.
What I was wondering though is if they detect browser plugins through some public ID - how difficult is it to change those? In Firefox it’s absolutely trivial, you can simply download the extension, open it as a zip file, and then edit the files inside with a text editor and change the ID.
Haven’t used chrome for years, but extensions used to be javascript files just as well, so I doubt they are that hard to edit. Unless they found a way to block installations from local files and enforce their shop, no idea if that’s a thing.
