Totally unrelated fun fact, but I heard a few pounds of sugar can do significant damage to a truckload of concrete if mixed in.

It's all about quantity in corporate. Performative employees get further quicker compared to quiet ones that actually deliver quality output.

I just love the EU. Not perfect of course, but this kind of stuff is great.

It's their main marketing thing.

But they have just become another reselling platform for dropshippers, selling the same plastic garbage you find for cents on AliExpress. Tolerated because selling it simulates growth. Their main competitor, as communicated internally, is Amazon. Those who pushed for cleaning up the site to focus on re-use were sacked.

Doesn't mean you can still find good stuff there, but local classifieds are still the better choice.

Yes it is, I would just like to encourage the frog to jump out rather than reduce the flame.

ebay is slightly better, but in the end just another publicly traded company that treats their employees like shit.

How so? They have differences under the hood, but so far I've used them the same way I would any VPN

Thanks for sharing, I don't think this is much more. Corporate Dems are an issue and I wish I was in the timeline where Bernie became president. Saying Republicans are better (in 2025) is either extremely naive or insane. Either way, it does not give me the faith I would like to stay with Proton long term. Posting official stuff, pulling it back, now claiming neutrality... confidence is eroded enough.

I have the Duo plan until mid next year and see it as my inbetween from iCloud to self hosting most of my services. Currently trialing Mullvad for the VPN and it can keep up with Proton easily.

Happy to help with German. I used to get the LoseIt premium for free but haven't used it in many years. I just assume it's a privacy nightmare so haven't bothered opening it. But I like the concept, just tracking helped me improve my diet and health.

And afaik that was it. It has been blown out of proportion many times since by people forming opinions based on headlines. If there was anythung else I'd like to know too though

Perfect, nothing like the little click wheel. Enjoy

I started doing this again. I leave my phone at home and just go out with a bit of cash in my pocket. I bought an mp3 player so I can bring along some music.
