Wow you unlocked a memory in me. I recall doing something similar but using some send command to do the same with any computer logged in and on the network.

Week after that I met a dude from municipal school IT support and that’s when I first learned about Linux. He had Red Hat on his laptop and he was happy to talk about it. Very cool dude.

I don’t think she should be earning so much, but varannandagsutdelning does actually make sense with how few letters get sent (even though I’d also prefer daily delivery). But crazy that stamp prices have also basically doubled.

I think the main issue I have is that this also applies to time critical post, and thus post can arrive too late.

But just like with so many other public service things and agencies, Sweden is determined to make a paper profit. Vinstkrav. Would be cool if SJ for example was allowed to sell their train tickets for cheaper prices, but nope, they need to make at least 10% profit or something around that.

When it comes to essential infrastructure it makes no sense to me that they need to operate on a profit.

SEK. I make 38k a month! Thus, she makes about ~18 times more than me and then a nurse's salary on top of that.

That’s PostNord for you. Reminder that the CEO earns ~700k a month for doing helpful things like… introducing every other day delivery of post. Hmmm.

I order in my groceries. Got a shrinkwrapped cauliflower, with the green chaff I might add, and a shrinkwrapped courgette. It's all very strange to me.

Yeah, but at least my veggies come shrinkwrapped so I get to enjoy peeling them twice!

Is your kid in therapy? Because going by what you've said, your partner has been sick and depressed for 40% of your kid's entire lifespan. That's bound to take a toll.

Frame it as part of the treatment for MS.

Solid idea. Though, I feel like this is phrased a bit strangely, because it makes it sound like this is duplicitous. A part of the treatment for any chronic condition would be how to cope with and emotionally process living with it. This is part of the treatment for MS.

Good. Hating half the population is a pretty extreme take.

Lotion fixed the issue for me. I like being clean shaven but it doesn't last. 😢

I get massive breakouts after shaving, unless I finish it off with a lotion. I'm guessing aftershave is the same general idea.

This particular tumblr blog’s entire thing is taking poorly cropped tumblr screenshots from Pinterest and reposting them on tumblr.

Yeah I can see that. My work computer is a laptop, with an ultra wide external monitor. I never use the browser on the laptop screen because with vertical tabs it just takes up too much space. Otherwise vertical tabs give you an easy overview of what you have open if you like me tend to leave a tonne of tabs up.

That is only mostly true now. There is an about:config setting you can turn on in FF 129 (released this week)

That's also the one with the intrusive, facebook-endorsed, opt-in advertising system, isn't it? I use LibreWolf, because Mozilla doesn't truly care for privacy.

I have an ultrawide. Vertical works a lot better on ultrawide than on more narrow screen ratios. Though ultimately it's just a matter of preference. I personally dislike dark mode.

Oh, but it can still get worse!

Given that they are focusing on initiatives like intrusive adverts and machine learning BS, I'm okay with them cutting that kind of nonsense off; Firefox still doesn't have a native vertical tab bar.

Well yeah, they superceded it in 2015 and eradicated it in 2018. They were doing evil before then too, of course, but I guess at that point they felt like they could just drop the mask.

This isn’t a foregone conclusion, just a number of things that are increasingly likely:

The system incentivises it, though. I don't like dealing in absolutes, so I am inclined to agree with you on that basis alone. However, enshittification is not a bug, it's a feature.

Google hasn't just monopolised the ad industry, but is holding the internet itself in its clutches.

They own and control one of the biggest operating systems on the market, giving them control over peoples devices. They own and control the biggest browser engine on the market, giving them control over the internet standards; they can implement whatever the heck they want and essentially force it as a web standard. They own and control the biggest search engine on the market, giving them control over what information people can see and access.

For a lot of people, Google controls practically the entire internet access chain, and that should terrify anyone who cares about a free and open internet.
