I envy you, because my 2019 MBPro has fans always spinning and it seems slow and bugged, especially with the latest macOS.

Maybe I should just try formatting, but I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle.

Nobody wants to cut down trees once they’ve grown.

Yes, I feel like the days of old reddit are numbered. We better be ready for the influx of new users when they close it.

Italy, Bulgaria, Spain for example. They usually couldn’t care less (unless it’s football/soccer piracy).

Germany, on the other hand, cares a lot. Use a VPN for sure there.

“VPN up” depends on the country. Some countries don’t give a flying fuck, don’t waste money on a VPN if you live in such countries.

Italy. Then of course not everybody is as lucky as me (e.g. people living in the countryside, or working far away from home), but the majority of people can enjoy having all their basic services at a walking distance. Especially if they live in the city centre.

I can do all of those things with a 5 minutes walk in my European city. And I don’t even live in the city centre.

Mixed zoning and walkable cities are the solution.

PurelyMail is a great and cheap service. It’s like $10 per year. You just set up some records (MX and TXT) on your domain provider and that’s it.

You could also self-host email, but then you need a server that’s always powered on and it adds much complexity, so I suggest to use a managed service instead.

The good thing about using your own domain is that you’re not tied to any service. You could migrate to any other provider (such as ProtonMail, FastMail, etc.) without ever changing your email address on all services.

Everyone except the masses. See what happened with COVID and no-vax people.

The problem is finding the right balance between freedom of speech and national security.

Exactly. Italy doesn’t care either, unless it’s football (soccer if you like freedom 🦅).

From the official Nintendo server, if you have an app that then removes the protection from the downloaded files.

I wouldn’t do it though. It can only lead to problems, especially with poorly coded programs.

In Italian, butterfly, bowtie and the kind of pasta are all called “farfalla”. Which has come first, though?

Sommerfugl (bird of summer) in Danish :)

And still uses the old meme faces.

In Europe I’ve never seen a drive through ATM (in fact, the only drive throughs I’ve seen here are McDonald’s). In the US I was surprised to see many.

But there’s no real alternative to YouTube.

And no, using a proxy service is like using YouTube itself with uBlock or whatever.

SponsorBlock also comes by default on SmartTubeNext for Android TV.

Pro-tip: apps can’t ask for leaving a review twice, so if you press yes and then go immediately back, it will never ask again.

And SmartTubeNext if you have an Android TV.
