Don’t know why everyone is so triggered on this thread. It’s a joke meme, sure. No, it doesn’t mean EVERYONE visiting is after a Thai bride, but come on… There is quite a bit of truth behind this too… Last time I was in Thailand, there were a lot of old white guys with girls on their 20s that would raise eyebrows in the US.
Yep definitely this. I was surprised that all the craft ales are like 10%! And there are lots of them!

I agree. The magical feeling of being a student at Hogwarts soon evaporated as soon as you got a broom and didn’t really need to visit Hogwarts again and instead just fight endless random enemies, which gets pretty easy as you level up.
I was also disappointed by the endless voice acting. There was so much pointless talking and you couldn’t really control the outcome, all options seemed to result in a positive outcome when I just wanted to be a badass Malfoy but you’re not allowed, you jave to be a goody goody Hermione, juat in Slytherin clothes.
Yes, and life still works fine without them…nobody is forcing you to subscribe to Netflix. Keep paying your monthly cable subscription like the old days.
Or do both. Cost of Spotify is the cost of one album a month.
Sounds like someone didn’t have their morning coffee today
(It’s per month but woteva)
True, no self respecting Scandi utter an F°
Good point. Give a man a free meal, he eats for a day.
Seed fund an industrial unit churning out basic healthy meals and employ an UberEats-type workforce of homeless/disadvantaged people to distribute the meals, all under a non-profit banner, and hundreds of the poorest of society can eat for $2-5 a day.
Me too. It was the constant popups making me download their app that did it for me.
Amen. Shame he’s jacking it in. But he has been going non-stop for like 10 years
If you never enable any data services on your SIM (GSM only for calls) and never connect to WiFi. You’re not leaking anymore data than an old fashioned phone.
However, the fact that you are asking these questions does suggest you are probably being unhealthily paranoid. (Reading these replies, it seems you are in good company on this forum.)
I’m going to assume you are not engaging in high level cyber activities that would require you to adopt this level or paranoia. If you were, you wouldn’t be asking basic questions.
Instead, it sounds like you have developed an irrational fear of what tech companies can realistically do with your data and what level of harm they may wish to cause you.
Typically, they can log your search and browser data to determine if, for example, you like pizza. Then they may show you an advert for pizza or highlight the nearest Dominos on Google maps. But… they can only do that if you share that information with them in the first place by using your new smart phone (with none of the privacy settings enabled) to search for pizza and then using Google maps. Nobody is forcing you to do that. But is it really that bad even if you do?
Google are not going to clone you, or assassinate you or somehow work out you are not paying taxes or are engaging in illegal activity unless you use your phone to do it. And even then, they don’t go round grassing people up to the government for the fun of it. They just want you to click on adverts and, once you are aware of how they operate, it’s relatively easy to avoid them whilst still getting great value from a pretty incredible piece of modern technology.
Now, if you are genuinely worried about government targeting (I don’t know what country you live in) an encrypted messaging App will be significantly more secure than an unencrypted old GSM phone that is quite easy to intercept and relies on the integrity of your MNO provider.
My advice, stop worrying. You already have a cautious mindset so you won’t get tricked by these companies, but you could also be enjoying many of the benefits of being able to access all of humanities collective information from your pocket.
Super useful, thanks. Actually made a lot of things click in my head about how Linux works.
When did /home get deprecated? Is /usr/local the replacement?
Sorry for the n00b question (I’m not a noob, but I have been off Linux for a few years), figured the answer may be useful to other users too
Is SpaceX failing?
