Or force them to admit they are selling it for real without all the license mumbo jumbo. They have always known what "buy now" buttons were meant to lead you to believe. And — in my humble opinion — you aren't wrong for believing that; they are.

Also, the sunlight suggests it's summer in the first photo (or at least not winter).

A bit underwhelming.

While we are making reasonable demands, stop using 12 hour time. Sincerely, everyone else.

That title is wild and there is no way to read it correctly.

Silent? They never shut the fuck up.

This sounded like a disaster when it was first revealed they were basically relaying messages through some Macs they had lying around the office.

Pedophiles in the olympics, our strange toilets with the "poop shelf"; I just can't win today.

Edit: it's so you can inspect it. How is everyone else inspecting their poo?

I had the FlashAir which is more or less the same thing. Loved it. Used it for quickly retrieving underwater photography without unsealing the camera as well as backing up dashcams, security cameras, and other such quality of life, never have to touch it kind of applications. I would totally buy more if they come back in fashion. Micro SD is probably impossible, but a girl can dream, can't he?

Did you shout ADVERTISEMENT in the middle of your comment?

Several years ago, some silver spooner said we would be able to buy homes if only we didn’t blow all our money on things like avocado toast.

I am relieved the conversation has broken free from simply voting against Trump to having a choice people might actually like. Proof is going to be in the pudding, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

Fellow embarrassed Dutch guy chiming in.

Edit: why did I get down voted for being an embarrassed Dutch guy? LOL, that's what we are!

Just in case you are joking (or people think you are) those do exist. Basically a dongle with only the power pins on each end.

This is beside the point, but it might help some people in the short term: I was able to switch my subscription plan without penalty and then cancel immediately without the cancellation fee. Maybe that still works.

we don’t think that censorship (including through demonetizing publications) makes the problem go away—in fact, it makes it worse.

Happy Opposite Day, everyone! 🥳

But… I like potato salad.

Nooooooooooooo!

Wow. What is that ‘other’ physical medium? Is MiniDisc also coming back and beating CDs?

The Trekz Titanium (maybe that is the correct spelling) won me over and I want all my headphones to be like that, forever. Sadly, not all boners (as we call them in the biz) are made the same, and my newer Open Run Pro (or whatever) are disappointing boners by comparison.

When I think of whales holding their breath for hours, I get anxious. I know they evolved differently. But if I suddenly became a whale, I'd be hearing the Sonic drowning music in my head all the time.

Can elope 🥰

They’ve got you pegged.

I don’t know the person you are responding to and I’m not deep-diving into comment histories, but I took it as meaning that the libs of TikTok lady claims to be a free speech advocate and is also fine with banning books and doesn’t see the obvious contradiction in that… “unironically”.

Or is it more of an age-gated thing

Depends how old you consider old, maybe? Computers back in the day were pretty universally light text on a dark background. VIC-20 was an exception but then even Commodore backpedaled on that with the 64. But you might have had a different experience and are only remembering things like Mac OS or Amiga, or Windows, and maybe that has influenced your preference. 🤷‍♀️ To each their own, anyway.

In Canada, there were gendered entrances to stores 80 years ago.

I got it right here, old bean.

How did YouTube become the monopoly it is? Seems they were always riding Vimeo’s coattails and have been rewarded handsomely for it.

That is some good de-dangling, but it really needs a re-wrangling.

"Softening," my ass!

Call me. 😉
