Vodafone has a hotspot service here in Germany. All of their cable routers have a second wifi network everyone can use (unless you opt out).

When they introduced it, it had a big flaw: They stored the MAC address of your device in their database as authorized, but never deleted it.

Hypothetically speaking, you could pay for a month, cancel the service and then browse for over a year until they noticed you and kicked you out. 😆

But I would never do that, of course.

Tigole is doing the same.

Olan Rogers made Final Space and he’s working on Lightspeed right now. It had a pretty successful run and has a loyal fanbase, despite it being cancelled.

But yeah, stories like these are very rare.

It redirects to “Rectal administration” on Wikipedia, so yeah…I’m also not clicking on that one for “further” research. :D

It’s alright, there are many of us who like SeaQuest DSV, too.

It’s built on a , by now very modified and incompatible, Linux kernel.

Which is also forked again by various phone manufacturers that make their own modifications on top of it.

The printer probably talks to hplip, which is available on Linux, but not on MacOS.

Stop right there criminal scum!

Great, I’ve been looking for someone to tear my soul apart.

It’s the character “Solo” from season 2 of “Silo”. He basically lives by himself in a bunker, too.

My male fantasy is to live in an underground bunker completely alone.

This guy probably starred in the same movie a lot more:

Web development in North Germany, for a small agency. We mainly work with WordPress and Typo3, which is used by the government, clinics and other “bigger” institutions a lot here.

I actually like PHP (most people seem to hate it :D), so it’s a good job.

30h/week since 2024, I am never going back.

Instead of working, I am just playing Oblivion Remastered all day today.

Username checks out.

There’s only one real Proton.

One of the first things my new boss did was to cancel the daily standup meetings that were enforced by the previous management. God, what a great decision. I’m finally getting shit done instead of having to talk and endure bullshit every day.

Use knockd and iptables, gone are the fucking bots.

I tried that Replika app before AI was trendy

Same here, it was unbelievably shallow. Everything I liked it just mimiced, without even trying to do a simulation of a real conversation. “Oh you like cucumbers? Me too! I also like electronic music, of course. Do you want some nudes?”

Even when I’m at my loneliest, I still prefer to be lonely than have a “conversation” with something like this. I really don’t understand how some people can have relationships with an AI.
