Probably someone outside of Europe, that was Commodores main market. Especially the Amiga generation.

No, in our calendar system there was year 1 BC followed by year 1 AD. So no zero. It’s just how they set it up, they’re human made ideas anyway. Many countries do not even use this system, for example it is currently year 2567 in Thailand and year 113 in North Korea.

I see. Thanks for explaining. So which do you like the most so far?

What’s the point? Aren’t most of them connected anyway? If not then the fragmentation is a real problem. I mean, who has the time or energy to click through dozens of websites which all serve the same or similar purpose?

SQLite sure but I doubt PHP has any negative impact.

Both Ericsson and Nokia have been huge players in the cellular networking market for many years, and still are. Nothing new. The only thing new is that they are getting even more contracts in the west since governments started boycotting Chinese companies (for good reason).

To me the PS5 feels like PS4.5 at most.

The box even says “8K capable” and they promised an amazing 4K-8K 120hz raytracing heaven before release. Every time I see the box or watch old presentation videos I feel scammed.

Because in reality almost all games have a pathetic “slow mode with higher res” (often 30 fps!) or “fast mode with previous generation graphics and resolution” (usually some variable upscaled mess and far from native 4K).

It’s still a decent machine (I like it being silent a lot, load times are also quite good) and I enjoy gaming regardless of performance BUT their promises were nothing but a marketing scam. It feels far from “next generation” to me.

(Same goes for Xbox Series X of course, it’s just as bad in this sense.)

I don’t get it, can someone explain?

It’s a nice thought but if everyone were to manage their own email server (and other things) we would have SO much more security problems in general.

Thanks for the links. I wasn’t aware of those, it sounds like PlayStore level of crapware in those cases, although you have to be REALLY dumb to be fooled by such obvious ones. But if you’re a very technically challenged person I am sure it is possible.

But the case with the LastPass clone is definitely much more malicious.

I am surprised this happened, it’s the first case of anything like this that I have heard of. Do you know of any other cases?

Why the fuck do they require my phone number to register? No thanks.

That is so nice of you, thank you for the offer! I’ll try to keep it in mind once its out. 😊 And yes indeed it’s a brilliant show.

AppleTV+ is still cheap where you live? Here in Europe it went from 4,99€ to 6,99€ and I think they just raised it to 9,99€. They have some great shows but VERY little content all in all. And at a doubled price which now matches all the other services (all around 10€ each) it is just not worth it IMO.

I might get it for one binge-month in the future just to watch Severance season two though. Or… just get it elsewhere…

Kind of worrying when their source is a “data breach information website” that does advertorials for “the most safe password manager” NordPass. 🤮 The internet of today has become a pile of absolute shit.

Navidrome is neat

They didn’t, the community edition existed before Adobes purchase.

I’m trying to get back into using RSS but have noticed that all sites - for example tech news like The Verge - publish a shit ton of content daily nowadays.

How do you use these apps?

I added a few feeds and now have 300+ news every day that I need to sort through and 95% of them do not interest me. That was what was so great with Artifact, it did the sorting and learned my interests.

Are there separate curated feeds (similar to Artifact) to subscribe to or is it possible to filter by interest (keywords) in the RSS apps, like Netnewswire?

I don’t have time or the nerve scrolling through feeds with dozens or hundreds of posts a day, it’s a pretty awful user experience.

Some sites seem to have separate feeds for different themes but that’s also not very flexible.

For once a good app for news and articles appears, and within a year it is killed off because of “limited market opportunity.”

Urgh. I just HATE the modern internet.

But thanks for the alternatives list. Maybe something will catch on. Feeeed looks really cool.

I haven’t read anything about cracking the data itself though, just being able to identify the phone number of a sender. The infos they give is just too vague at this point.
