If billionaires are people too, why don’t they act like it? 🤔

As long as I can see the entire content of the post without having to go to any other website, I don’t particularly care where it came from.

Most hotels are owned by large multinational corporations. As are the concessions at the various venues. The local area will see little if any of the money that comes in.

When’s the last time you heard of someone saving up for a holiday in Lillehammer?

I’d kiss her right on the circle line

We have a points system here in the UK, first offence you’ll typically be offered re-education if it’s only minor. After that, if you don’t contest a minor offence it’s a £100 fine, plus costs, plus 3 points on your license per offence. If you contest it and lose, or it’s such a major offence that you get taken straight to court, you’ll be fined a percentage of your weekly income (depending on how bad it was), court costs and surcharges, and extra points. 12 points in three years is called “totting-up” and you automatically get your license revoked, so as an absolute maximum you can get away with four speeding tickets in three years. Any more than that, and you lose your license. Or if you’re a new driver, if you get 6 points in the first two years you have to start over with taking your driving tests again.

All this to say… someone getting 16 speeding tickets and not having their license taken away is baffling to me.

Here in the UK they’ll sometimes remove negative reviews as “off topic” anyway.

Reviews? Can’t trust 'em.

Yeah, pedestrians aren’t really a consideration in this kind of town planning.

If they were, they would’ve put in sidewalks. Which they didn’t.

Can’t really have it both ways.

Why would they summon Copilot to correct a typo? Why not just… correct the typo?

bruh

Thank you for your well-reasoned argument, I’m totally convinced!

Let me make it simple for you. Using browser = giving them your data + seeing their ads. Money from ads + selling your data = funding CEO. CEO = anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bro. If you need more help, please engage your brain and re-read this post.

Congratulations for helping fund bigotry.

Plonk.

IronFox seems to be highly recommended elsewhere in the comments but I don’t browse on my phone, I just use the default Vanadium, which is Good Enough™.

I don’t blame folks for using it.

I do blame folks for not reading up before recommending it.

Turn on automatic updates. It’s as frictionless as The Mighty Goog allow it to be and a hell of a lot better than putting up with ads.

Congratulations on missing the point.

Massively delayed? LibreWolf has only ever been a few days at most behind the curve. It’s currently on 148.0.2, which is on par with the current version of Firefox released just last week.

The problem with Firefox is they inflict stuff on you without giving you the chance to opt in. LibreWolf delays the updates (a few days at most in my experience) to cut out the latest round of slop shit and sponsors. It’s not just about the default settings, it’s about the ongoing curation.

I wouldn’t trust anything Proton for security or privacy, but that’s a whole can of worms I’m not going to open right now.

Fun fact, the annoying orange is based on the curious orange, a segment from cult 90s tv show This Morning With Richard Not Judy. Look it up. It’s… something!
