I don’t care if they pull the plug on Twitter. My point was that if the EU bans one website, it sets a precedent for the future where it’s easier to do it again. The rules that could lead to Twitter being banned today might be sane but who knows about the future? Maybe they start blanket banning Lemmy or Mastodon instances if the fediverse grows so large that moderation can’t keep up?

Gaddafi was so popular among Libyans that in the end they dragged him to the street and raped him with a sword. Allegedly.

We don’t need a precedent for the EU censoring the internet.

Does it even matter which party is in power when it comes to this? It’s in America’s geopolitical interest to have a strong Israel to counter the neighboring Arab States, especially Iran. The fate of Palestine is almost a non-issue in that context.

I would first scrape the chunks off with a steel spatula or scraper, then finish with fine-ish sandpaper before reseasoning.

They run 8. gen Intel processors. The difference to latest models is substantial.

But the lesson for the consumer is: Don’t buy tools that rely on apps or servers ran by someone else unless you want to eventually start paying rent…

Nice pan!

Why does that portal need to exist in the first place?

Nethack is under 5MB, runs on 80s hardware and you can play it forever.

Today you can pay 60€ for 12 Gillette Mach 3 cartridges, each good for barely two shaves.

As any rational player will do.

Heck, even electronic voting systems in the US is closed-source.

How can elections even be trusted to be fair in that case?

Woah, in 2021 their best paid developer got 775K. I wonder how much work he produced for that money.

Is it that the decade of 0% interest rates and angel funding for startups lulled us into unrealistically thinking we could get unlimited everything for 9.99 per month, or is it that companies are suddenly starting to rip off people?

As an end consumer it’s impossible to gauge what is a proper price for entertainment.

There is still no valid strategy for securely containing the waste produced for the needed amount of time

People who buy electric sharpeners also buy cheap shit knives and store them loosely in a drawer with all the other kitchen stuff so it all balances out in the end.
