22421382 here. I can’t believe I still know that number by heart after 20+ years.

I’m on fedia.io which I think is also Mbin. When I tap the image on my phone (android firefox) the image opens in a popover but it only shows the middle part and scrolling works badly. When I tap the title/link then the image opens as a new page and it works fine.

Kbin/Mbin doesn’t handle it well and only shows the middle bit. I need to open the original to see the full image.

The real people pushing this are lobbyists working for the companies that sell the monitoring software.

I don’t know, but I am scared for the future. It’s also worrying how popular far right is under the youth. I worry about my little kids growing up …

The time to fix that is before and during the primaries. When you’re in the booth with a choice between a Democrat and a Republican, the choice should be obvious

Probably still better than the fascist GOP alternatives though

Yes they were. Nintendo cartridges could be 120-150 gulden at release. That’s 55-70 euro, not even counting inflation. PC games were usually cheaper though.

It’s not, I’m an avid Android user myself. It’s just an observation. I would have expected more professional apps on Android and also a buch of “see how rich I am” apps on iOS

So, the most expensive iOS apps are complicated applications aimed at professionals, while the most expensive Android apps are all junk apps aimed at rich people.

I’ve had asparagus ice cream. It was fantastic!

I think many farmers are being played for fools. They are being astroturfed by big agri businesses run by corporate billionaires.

We absolutely should. As long as they have enough stable income to support it. Rough guidelines in The Netherlands is that you can get a mortgage for about 4-5x your yearly income (subtract any other loans like credit cards, phone contracts or cars), and for no more than the house is actually valuated at (unless you’re going to remodel, then you can borrow for the estimated value after it is done).

The entire “credit rating” system is totally insane and dystopian for people outside the US. Where I am from, we only ever register bad credit, not good credit. If you want to buy a house and need to get a mortgage they can ask for your credit rating. But that only shows how much your current obligations to other creditors are, and whether you have had trouble paying them. And you only cartain obligations are allowed to be shown on such a report.

In my country, someone with no credit card history whatsoever is in a better position to get a mortgage than someone who has a credit card and pays it off every month. The fact that the US is the reverse is just mad.

It depends, really. I turned my hobby into a profession and I am mostly happy. I lost a hobby, absolutely. I don’t practice my craft much anymore outside of work, but I do have a job I really like. And I found new hobbies over the years. But yes, I did loose a hobby.

On the other hand, how dumb do you have to be to photoshop a picture and release it like that? That’s just asking for the frenzy.
