I’ve heard someone describe it a long time ago as “high tech, low life”, where technology has permeated society to the point where even poor people have access to it, but at the same time most people do not live a good life and the tech is not helping. I haven’t been able to think of something that fits that description and doesn’t feel cyberpunk to me.

Spain has had one of the most supportive governments in Europe so this feels… excessive?

Fuck off. Their interest lies with their own survival at the moment and that is strongly connected to a certain superpower voting no. Again, fuck off with that bullshit.

Visualizing it like this makes it so clear how incredibly outdated this design is.

I gave up on it fairy easily, because after it was forced on us, the market also responded by flooding with cheap and decent options for headphones, which I started trying out and slowly I stopped using a wire with my phone.

I still think bluetooth is not great, with a lot of weird connection issues even on expensive devices, which was never a problem with a wire, but I do enjoy the freedom it offers.

Most people in corporate have no fucking idea what they are doing and a good setup will have these meetings focus everyone on the same thing and making sure they are progressing. This setup may not be useful for coding untestable and undocumented code in your basement, but it’s very useful in big companies. Unfortunately there are also many twats that abuse this in order to make themselves look useful so it’s very easy to end up in a broken system if no one is keeping an eye out for this.

Which is a shame, since they are so bad.

Still stuck on Helldivers 2, thanks to playing it with friends.

That’s called confirmation bias. The US has interests like any other country on Earth. Sometimes thats a good thing, other times it’s not. Blanket generalizations and simplifications like this, just show you’re not even paying attention, you’re just looking for whatever confirms your own beliefs already.

Most airlines do the same shit in Europe, and what makes it worse is that when you buy tickets in groups or with your partner for example, they intentionally place you separate even if there is free space next to one of the seats so that you then have to buy at least one seat to place it next to the other assigned seat. Wizzair actually used to place people together before, but then they intentionally broke it and now charge 40€ for the solution to the problem they created.

I’m happy to hear that regulators are getting involved now.
