Decimated literally means “reduced by one tenth”. So I guess you’re right. A one third reduction is not “decimated”. It’s three times worse than that.

Malta. You just have to pay a (largish) fee, and they’ll have you.

Also punish the people responsible, like the developers, for their software and choice of used libraries.

What??

I have no idea why I am being down-voted.

Just FYI. I downvoted you for the whiny edit.

Love me some Count Binface.

So now every site has cringe popups that nobody reads or understands, thanks regulators!!

It’s not the law that mandates the awful UI of those popups… it’s Google. I’m an adwords publisher, on my blog and a couple of (formerly!) popular web-apps. My sites were all compliant with the legislation, but not with Google’s policy for adwords publishers. Their algorithm sent me an e-mail threatening to cut off my income unless I implemented one of their “approved” cookie scripts. As any fool knows, it’s simply not possible to contact a real human at Google, so I was forced to do as they wished. So now all my sites have pointless, annoying cookie popups.

Everyone hates those popups, but don’t blame the legislation - blame Google for forcing the whole Internet into malicious compliance.

I suppose when you are down in a dank shitty hole of your own making, normal sunlight and open ground must seem like an ivory tower.

Would you like me to let down a rope ladder for you?

Your Mum’s journey seems quite positive, overall. Is she now in favour of re-joining? If not, then she still has a long way to go.

It’s crazy crazy sort order that I can’t stand. They deliberately go in and remove certain characters from the filename, specifically to make the sorting behave weirdly.

The country needs more people. Locals are not having enough babies to cover that, and the world is full of fantastic other people who want to come here, and help make the place great. The only reason to turn them away is a toxic mix of short-sightedness and racism.

Fortunately for them, my adblocker isn’t on YouTube. It runs on my browser!

MY browser.

It treats desktop clients as first-class citizens. That’s a huge, huge advantage over Whatsapp, for me.

They missed my personal favourite:

SHIFT + INSERT … paste the content of the PRIMARY select buffer (currently selected text).

Just wait. Some asshole Google employee will read his blog, and unapprove him.

How many of the RARBG torrents are still seeded?

The Amber Room on Telegram is the answer you are looking for.
