Simon’s desk probably refers to a location, not actually the desk of Simon.

I agree. These are anonymous messages. I don’t see any privacy violations.
They could set up camera’s that record who’s entering and leaving the restroom and thus violate privacy but this seems fair play to me. They’ll just vape somewhere else.
No background but I can read and listen. There are plenty of resources around.
I started out of privacy concerns and I wanted to deGoogle It started this year with a RPI and pihole. Then I saw Mealie, bought a domain, and started sharing recipes with my family.
At first I messed around with Casa OS. It’s like a gateway drug. So easy to use and get stuff running.
Last week a 2nd hand i5 arrived and now I moved everything to proxmox. The RPI is still running pihole. At the moment I’m setting up Immich and I’m thinking about buying a NAS.
Since it is a new hobby I keep everything low cost. If it sticks I’ll invest in a proper home server.
Took me a while to get that reference. In my mind Epsons are printers not projectors.
I live in a country where cars are part of your salary. Especially because that part of your wage doesn’t get taxed. It is very clear that ‘they’ installed a very car centric thinking into society. Sure, some people aren’t affected or influenced but way too many people are.
Since a few years bikes are treated in a likewise manner and now 30% of my colleages chooses a bike over a car. That has resulted in a surge of bike sales and that unfortunately. made them terribly expensive.
I do like cars though. That’s why I hit the track a few times a year.
It’s about the whole driving experience stuff. Cars are utilitary and they made us believe it’s about passion.
I wrecked my car 3 years ago and we decided to not buy a new one. We’re doing just fine without a car. We need one from time to time but car sharing has proven to ve really cheap. It seems like we have spent over 600 Euros a mont on our car before. Now we just spend a fraction of that.
Riding for pleasure is something for the tracks, I suppose.
You’re writing fiction. Do whatever you want. People who complain anyway.
That’s a developer issue, isn’t it?
The ‘hand me your unlocked phone’ has worked for me on several occasions.
The problem that I see is that if they one day decide to use that domain, they can force you into handing it over. Either legally or by extortion and suing you into the sky.
Both are unlikely but there is a chance.
I used to be a residential building safety inspector. One of the houses that I screened looked very average but the garden had a huge collection of bonsai. Some of them were nearly 100 years old. Central Europe. Crazy.
You get ads? Pihole, Firefox + Ublock origin…
I was working in a restaurant and one day a regular invited us to his place for after work drinks. He opened the front door into a monumental hallway with beautiful winding stairs and a large mosaic monogram with his initials on the floor.
We went into the main living area with a professionally decked out open kitchen, a 20 person dining table and a seating area with 4 large Chesterfields. The whole room is filled with art and antiques.
He asked me if I wanted to pick a few bottles of wine because of my good taste ( I’m a trained sommelier). He then guided me to his library and opened a secret door that led into the wine cellar.
Every large winehouse in the world was represented and he insisted on picking whatever I wanted. The sheer amount of stacks of Mouton Rotschild premier Cru, Tenuta Dan Guido - Sassicaia… We opened 4 bottles that would’ve cost about 10.000 euros together. No sweat.
He told us that despite the nice kitchen he never cooks. He goes to restaurants every day and on the weekends he hires top chefs to cook for his guests.
Then he asked us if we would like to go and have lunch in Milan, the next day (I’m from Belgium). He chartered a heli and had extra space for 3 persons.
He’s a modest guy. Rides his bike everywhere and makes his money selling real estate. He only sells high value property like castles and works one day a week. He’s not extremely talented but admitted he’s just lucky.
I realized that to become rich, you need money. Whether it’s your own or someone else’s doesn’t matter, you just need a lot.
I see.
Yeah, about that. https://www.signal.org/blog/phone-number-privacy-usernames/
I mean, there are several FOSS transit apps around. The Netherlands, Germany,…
Going postal is peak Moist.
I’ve followed Bregman from the start when he started writing for the Dutch news site De Correspondent. I love the positive vibe he sends.
And yes, Douglas Adams humor is snappy as ever in the Hitchhiker’s guide. ❤️
