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 extra spare time.
> 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 Finnish covid stats is a bit silly Where…
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 a use as an access point/firewall for…
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 hopelessly underfunded and staffed by…
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.
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 platform.
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 populations in the same way when dealing…
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 your emails will be sent straight to…
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 logic applies to the rest of humanity.…
Yeah, and here in Finland we have North American Beavers too, since someone decided to introduce them in the 30's. They have a somewhat devastating effect on the local forests...
I think the largest change will be that we, as a global society, have discovered that there is a lot of things that are easier and better done remote, and that we will keep doing those things remote once we're done with…
The grandparent does have a point when it comes to assigning blame; when you have a hardware-based solution then one can always blame the hardware manufacturer. If you use an open-source solution then there is typically…
It is, and there's plenty of small communities built around them: https://tildeverse.org And yes. Gopher is ususally included. :)
I sleep for 4-5 hours, get up for about an hour or so, and then try to sleep another 3-4 hours. Previously, I'd wake up after 4-5 hours and spend 2-3 hours trying to fall asleep again. An hour of activity during the…
> people care that it’s worse than it was 40 years ago Agreed. And since we're currently in an unprecedentedly long period of prosperity it's only a matter of time before some people will be taking quite a few steps…
I'd argue that the major change is that people often aren't allowed to benefit from their property the way they used to. That places us in a situations were we are limited in a manner that I guess could be compared to…
Blogs aren't dead, but they've become a niche product the last 5 years. In 2006, pretty much every stay-at-home mom with an Internet connection would have a blog, but as social media gained more traction most of those…
Yeah, it's annoying as hell. I especially despise when sites force me to manually select another country from a list, in order to get an interface in my native language. The country selection itself is trivial, but…
In a very long-term perspective, this is pretty much it. Off-site backup -- we don't have any redundancy when it comes to our own environment. There are also a bunch of other benefits but they pale in comparison to this…
Didn't that have an impact on the amount of listeners? Sounds like commercial stations must have taken a big hit.
Yes, and it will take weeks before we have decent numbers, so it's dangerous to draw any conclusions just yet. The numbers aren't looking pretty, though: https://www.euromomo.eu/index.html
