Same here. The missus is almost crawling on the walls due to the lack of social contact, while I'm having the time of my life; the lack of social interactions gives me so much extr…

> in terms of excess deaths all Nordic countries look identical Finland, notably, doesn't even count covid deaths outside hospitals according to the THL, so comparing Swedish and F…

Yeah, pretty much every single "smart" device I've ever bought has had vulnerabilities that never got patched. It's ridiculous. On the plus side, my 10 year-old laptop still finds …

I have a dummy hotspot with no access to anything whatsoever, and which I allow my TV to connect to. Apart from exposing an undocumented API (with code execution capabilities), and…

Sweden failed to protect their own elderly, mainly because national authorities simply assumed that local authorities were ready to fight a pandemic, when they were in fact hopeles…

Pretty much. We wanted a simple life and we got it. Only going to the supermarket twice a month saves a ton of money, and working remote saves me a lot since there's no commute.

> They are toast. Many traditional petrol stations are toast already. The one in the village where I live closed decades ago. The one in the next village only survives because it's…

It was a cool machine, and AmigaOS was simply awesome compared to contemporary consumer operating systems, but alas Commodore went belly-up before they managed to modernize the pla…

This. I've used it extensively and it's simply unparallelled.

Semi-semi-related, there was a commercial distro named Amithlon that booted straight into AmigaOS 3.9. Alas, it was discontinued, but it had a really nice AmigaOS feel to it.

It isn't, really. The command-line is a beautiful thing!

Definitely. It affects then entire experience to such an extent that you want to go to bed early in order to lie between freshly dried sheets.

Let's hope someone with a similar view-point doesn't discover Earth, then! :D Jokes aside, you are right, of course. We don't have to worry about environmental effects or native po…

There are some latency involved when it comes to interplanetary exploration, not to mention communication between planets. That alone gives human exploration a certain advantage in…

It's definitely an alternative to text-based browsers if you need something dead simple. And it's fast enough to run on an old 486 if needed.

It is definitely possible to get it up and running, but there's often problems due to entire ranges having bad reputation. There was a gigantic thread about it in the Mailop mailin…

That sounds like Dillo using a TOR proxy. It's quite usable, but it's limited CSS-capabilities break more sites than the missing JS support does.

Just an addition to that: Don't use the cheapest possible provider available if you get a VPS to use as an email server; chances are the spammers are doing the same thing and that …

Yeah. Makes the rest rather unneccesary.

Well, there is a lot of graduates from those universities to begin with, so it's only logical that there is a certain amount of useless graduates that end up unemployed. The same l…

Yeah, the current offerings just won't cut it for professional use though, which I suspect account for much of chainsaw emissions.

This. A 5l can of fuel is easier to drag along and I suspect current battery tech won't be good enough for professional use. I have a chainsaw that runs on mains power. It's really…

Yeah, that sounds about right. I was working for a call centre providing support for Dell at the time, and the year before this was introduced we had a LOT of customers who got the…
