DB: the train is late 5 minutes. Actually 20. Actually 45. Actually 97. Actually the train was just cancelled 1 hour ago for no reason, but we were too afraid to tell you because you might get mad 👉🏻👈🏻

I'm very constipated right now and on a cruise so this gave me a good chuckle of relief. Thank you.

Specially torrenting safely. In some countries you can get fines for torrenting.

It should be mandatory that all electronics be recycled by the manufacturer or seller, and the cost of recycled should be reflected on the product price.

Sorry to hear that, friend. Have a good friend who is also dealing with long covid for years. He's been on different drug trials but nothing had much of an effect. He's very slowly getting some energy back, but still can't work a full time job.

Somes kids get digital allowances these days. I'm sure many parents prefer to track their children at every turn.

No, seems to be real.

I think you are missing the point. You can declare products you buy as a business expense, as long as they are used mostly for business purposes. In Swedish law, you can't declare clothing as a business expense because you will wear those clothes in you day to day life. The only exception is clothes that would look silly in day to day, like a clown suit, or mechanic overalls.

You're trying to make it sound like the only options are buying super glue from amazon, or never see your kids. You are trying to paint a dramatic picture of reality that isn't true just to justify your lazy lifestyle. I never said I didn't have to make choices, on the contrary. Every day I have to make choices.

There's easy choices, hard choices and impossible choices. I don't own a car, because I live in a place with good public transit and safe bike infra, so I wouldn't stick it to someone who owns a car because they need it. I don't keep a lawn, that's stupid. Can't remember last time I took a bath at home, no. It's literally impossible to know the origin of most electronics you buy, but I rarely buy them and usually buy second hand. My electricity provider produces only renewable. I try to make better small choices along the way. I'm in no way perfect.

These are things that fit my lifestyle. Some are things you probably can't do, and that's fine. But not buying from the worst online shop in the world is one of the lowest hanging fruits. But sure, continue lying to yourself that personal change isn't necessary. We're not in a hurry.

"I am unwilling to do even the least of changes to my lifestyle to improve life on earth" is not the flex you think it is. It's honestly sad.

You can get big fines if you don't comply with sanctions though. And in the end Linux is an American foundation.

Linus was still an ass, though. All this drama is 100% his fault.
