We got broadband super early for the UK, I think around late 2000, as my dad was part of the 21CN team at BT.

It was surreal how fast that seemed back then and being an 11 year old kid with that instant access to a whole web that seemed almost exclusively populated by adults if not late teens at that moment.

COVID made this accurate

Sometimes it’s hard to believe these people are real. It almost makes more sense they exist to make the left appear completely toxic to everyone, including left leaning people.

I hope that’s the case anyway and all the above is just a lot of over analysing, cos man, they suck.

Being destabilised by Putin’s puppets.

They can’t negotiate for anything in case they actually get it and have to back down on the self destruction. The self destruction is the goal, and to make some money alone the way…

I like how on my car there are routes for water to drain wherever two panels meet, even if those panels are a door with a seal. It’s almost like the people who designed it thought it might get used outside

More water probably

Maybe the younger ones still elastic brains were just too vulnerable

E: Usenet, irc, forums etc were like an early training ground hardening us against the purveyors of bullshit. When bullshit became the business of billionaire corporations online we were ready for it. They never had a chance…

Gonna steal some data it’s free to learn

It’s entirely possible HP printers acted like a gateway to first experiencing true rage, that later led people into the maga cult.

They are good but iHeartRadio’s advertising is brutal, those pods require fast access to the skip button.

I tried to avoid that by buying fairphone, hopefully their supply chain is decent.

Who needs a phone that costs 1500 to doom scroll Lemmy anyway

Thanks that’s really helpful, I have to view large technical drawings and been wanting to replace my multi monitor setup with an oled for media too but was concerned having static images on it for hours at a time.

I think I’ll give it a go.

I’ve seen burn in on early oled panels which is why I’d never used them in this way, but seems they have improved a lot.

What’s the burn in like on the oled? I have an LG oled as my TV but haven’t dared buy one as a monitor as oled used to be so bad for burn in

The more old bullshit gets erased in the process the better.

Those old twats and the dumb younger voters fucked everyone over… However maybe if there is a silver lining it’s that if/when the UK rejoins (pretty much if it wants a real future) it should be on equal terms and forced to behave as such.

Maybe we could finally elevate our status from the shit stained toffs of Europe.

Actually learning to fight effectively in kingdom come deliverance.

Or maybe beating those swarm motherfuckers in the first homeworld… First 2 examples that come to mind.

Used to be, Waze is consistently better at producing faster routes now at least in the UK. I keep meaning to try out others like organic though.

Yeah I was just reading through these comments totally confused what was going on, I might get a KFC once a year and that’s it. All the rest of them make me feel slightly ill just from the smell.

I do have a great Indian place locally I use fairly often and a couple others, just can’t imagine buying the chain stuff.

Wtf is wrong with those people… Don’t answer, not worth it

Healthier how? I also clean and stand, and put the seat down to flush.

You seem quite passionate about this?
