Ew, that’s the slimy laugh.

They are, but not mildly.

Isn’t this a known dark pattern? Not so mildly infuriating for me.

From the view point of the law it is.

Amsterdam was het dit jaar ook al verboden, toch is de Vondelkerk afgebrand. Ik vind verbieden hier weer de typische oplossing die tegenwoordig altijd wordt gekozen, of het nu om vuurwerk of fatbikes gaat; er is nu ook al wetgeving om de raddraaiers aan te pakken, maar dan moet je wel gaan handhaven. En laten we nu net de laatste decennia flink hebben bezuinigd op politie. Aangezien we ook al niemand hebben voor grenscontroles, betekent een vuurwerkverbod op dit moment alleen maar dat er vuurwerk van een categorie wordt afgestoken wat hier al jaren is verboden. En wat ook nog eens wordt opgeslagen in willekeurige garageboxen in plaats van in bunkers.

TIL Whatsapp has channels.

Good luck seeing the game then. “No return ticket? That’s suspicious, you won’t be allowed to enter.”

Isn’t this just what AI is the greatest tool of all time for? At least, so I’m told by the AIvangelists.

The same for airports.

Got it, don’t make altering the weather the main purpose.

I remember Java being seen as the best thing ever in the 90’s, and it was considered “cool” at that time. So cool even, that it became the programming equivalent of a hammer, every coding challenge looked like a nail for which you could use it.

Gezien in mijn dorp gedurende het hele jaar vuurwerk is te horen (en zien), met een piek van oktober tot en met januari, denk ik dat ook niet.

super-annoying Instragram French guy that just screams everywhere

Not narrowing it down are we?

These all require someone to actually pick up the phone, instead of playing an automated message.

I have seen ads on the internet for over twenty years. The enshitification is not because of ads, but because of the will of a few big companies to extract as much money from the internet as possible, without wanting to give anything in return and without even contributing in any way.

Edit: the OP however, should really learn to use a free photoshop alternative for the logo creation thing.

Biggest decline in my country is because lease companies don’t like them in their fleet anymore; Musk has just randomly reduced prices in the past, making it difficult to estimate the remaining value at the end of the lease term. On the other hand business drivers used to have a generous tax exemption when driving an EV, which has been cut by our government. These drivers may now be better of driving an ICE. All in all this reduces the market share of Tesla drastically, since Tesla’s are almost exclusively used as company lease cars.

I don’t know if this is possible on Amazon, but on our local alternative (bol.com for the Dutchies) it is possible to buy e-books for one cent, which will get you free shipping. I have quite a selection of e-books I’ll probably never read, but which were just the right amount to get free shipping.

There’s a fork of Wordpress which still has the old editor, which looks fine to me. I don’t know anything about the people behind it though, and haven’t yet tried it myself.

To clarify, the pompous part relates to “devote my energies to building up an audience”. But maybe it’s because I devote my energies to shitposting instead. On the other points I can get where you’re coming from.

I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will

I don’t know who this person is, but that seems a bit pompous.
