No complaints really, only that I’m supposed to be assigned a thesis supervisor 3 days ago, and as of yet, nothing has happened.

Hm, what’s the big deal? I moved from Europe to South East Asia and have 32C and 90% humidity pretty much all year around and love it.

Got my hands on the new Powerwolf album (wake up the wicked), and it’s great.

Yeah Douyin is pushing educational content and is very fast to censor harmful stuff. Still full of garbage and racism though, just the sanctioned kind against people the government doesn’t like.

Have a deadline for a university paper on Sunday. I’m planning to finish it tonight (it’s 8 PM here) but not sure that’s gonna fly.

If I were an exec at Google, I’d have already made a move to buy out a small country. Tuvalu, Nauru or something with a minuscule GDP. Then proclaim the Google Republic, move HQ functions over, and be free of taxes and outside influences forever.

And being their own country, they could even have a full fledged military…

I think the lite versions don’t allow scripted blocking, only static or something. So a whole lot of the adaptive blocks for persistent ads you encounter on facebook, instagram and other shitty socials that behave like viruses will be hard to impossible to kill.

I’m glad I never had to deal with that as I have never used Chrome on desktop, but I’m pretty sure there will be many folks out there who don’t know how to switch.

GDPR protects user data, not virtual data associated with an avatar you control. We might get there someday, but as of now, you’d only be able to request copies of stuff directly associated with yourself.

Shetland, almost the whole season 6. One episode left for later, and 2 seasons overall.

Love British crime shows.

In that sense, 99.9999% of all humans leave nothing behind. What’s the legacy of your great great grandparents? Do you even know their names? People are a temporary occupation of space, time, and resources.

There’s no intergalactic imperative to leave anything behind. It’s all in your mind. Declutter your brain and start living instead of mulling over the what have and what ifs you can’t influence.

You leave plenty of nutrition for plants, worms, and rodents behind.

My pleasure, and a speedy recovery to you!

Pretty damn great. My last day in the office, forever homeoffice starting in 55 min!

When I got my vasectomy, the doc told me to get two ice cold cans of beer, one for the big boy, one for the little boy. Works just as good as frozen peas, so I hereby pass on said knowledge.

I was a weird kid and didn’t like music - any music - until I was 12, 13 years old.

Oh nice, I’ll look into that launcher. Been using Wolf for a bit, but it’s too barebones for my liking.

128GB for over 1000 EUR? Are they mad???

Yeah I try to avoid it when possible, but for stuff I only use occasionally, I accepted it eventually for the sake of convenience.

Disabled data usage for the app, so it’s not phoning home, that’s enough for me.

I’ve been using YouCut since forever, it works great. Not open source though. But the free version is doing just fine. Can’t tell you how intrusive the ads are though, I’m blocking everything on system level.
