That fox witch sticker is awesome, where did you get it?

Absolutely love it, in all forms. Yerba mate to start my morning and Club-Mate to extend the night!

Aperture Science - We do what we must, because we can.

@fossilesque@mander.xyz Please do.

I kinda imagined the person seemingly sitting down as being mid-fall, thrusted backwards by the blast. Somehow captured with arms and legs in perfect right angles at the time of being pictured, by accident

I really like the idea of relevant + flag as additional (more weighted) attributes compared to just agree/disagree, as you might disagree with a poster but still want to mark the comment as valuable for the discussion (which can’t be done on Reddit since you’ll downvote them to the gutters).

I’m hoping it won’t result in too much micromanagement of different attributes for each post, but am curious to see how it turns out.

Thanks! Totally missed that setting.

I was a Gentoo user from 2004 up until last year, when I found my secondary driver in a soft-bricked state due to me not having done any updates on it for about half+ a year.

Switched to Arch Linux and haven’t looked back since. Sure, it will also throw a soft brick at me if I ignore/forget to upgrade, but one of the reasons I refrained from doing it on Gentoo was the compilaton time…

In fact, trust isn’t manually handled, it’s handled based on how similarly you act vs others (i.e. you both upvote/downvote similarly, flag posts similarly, etc), and I’m deciding whether making this based on community makes sense (i.e. you trust user A on community X, but not on community Y).

Wouldn’t this just create an impenetrable filter bubble/echo chamber where you see nothing else than content you 100% agree with?

@Sibbo@sopuli.xyz @hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl You’re right, sorry for that! Will update it asap

I’m not the prepper person either, but I like to be self-sufficient and not be overly reliant on modern technology. My primary use case has been during travels.

All under the guise of “free speech”. Which, as we all know, means speech that align with Elon’s currently held opinions.

Kiwix seems to be the most popular app to browse offline web pages like this.

But shouldn’t it be 8 < 1

That would be a pair of scissors, on its way to cut the number 1.

Epic Games (lolwhat?) bought it in 2022, but sold to Songtradr in 2023. The latter seems to be some kind of music license broker.

If you are using Paypal, log in to Paypal and go to Bills. Select Spotify and scroll down - there should be a link to cancel the subscription at the bottom.

GP probably asked whether Mull was shortname for the Mullvad browser.

I think we should call “football” exactly what it is. Unassociated soccer.

I really hope there’s nothing dodgy going on there

In 2023 they got a 1.1 million SEK fine for breaking the law that regulates working hours. To “allow” (strongly encourage) your employees to work nightshifts you need a collective agreement approved by the union, which they didn’t have.

More recently, they got a 500 million SEK fine for skirting the anti-money laundering regulations in Sweden.

But at least I’m not giving them interest on anything I buy. Always make sure I’m paying my stuff on time, and no postponed payments.

The whole “buy now, pay later” deal is a credit loan. They are most likely paying the merchant directly and using your loan as collateral to speculate on the market, until you pay them back for that loan. If that’s true, they are making profit on the interest gained from your loan.

I’m guessing their business model is to exploit people who have issues paying on time and to collect interest and late fees, as well as receive convenience fees from stores implementing Klarna as a payment option.

Correct. Like all credit banks they promote the “buy now, pay later” option before direct payment, which is becoming a pandemic on our society. Hardly any user interaction needed. They also offer their own payment plans which encourages buying even more expensive items you cannot afford.

A tip is to host your own domain at an e-mail provider that allow you to receive e-mail for any recipient in a single mailbox (i.e. catch-all or wildcard), and use the following alias format when signing up at different websites or services:

<website>@<yourdomain.tld>

This allows you to filter incoming e-mail by which website/service you signed up for, regardless of what domain they send e-mail from (it can be different for account notifications vs newsletters etc.).

It will also help you detect if they have sold your contact details or had a data breach without announcing it publicly, since you wouldn’t use that specific e-mail alias elsewhere.
