  • I don’t think ikea even sells furniture that requires such gigantic vehicles in the first place.

    That said, furniture is an excellent example of why you could just drive a normal vehicle, a bicycle or a bus to go windowshopping and later have the new furniture delivered to your doorstep by a specialised company and/or vehicle or rent a specialised vehicle for the odd occasion. The cost for society will actually be a damn lot lower.










  • i dunno, especially the music is really vast availability of full albums etc. Youtube + ublock is kinda my go to music. Used to search and store gigabytes, but it’s just not the same, not as easy. If youtube dies (ergo: it succeeds in blocking adblocking and third party such as newpipe), i’ll have a hard time finding alternatives tbh, that are just as user friendly.


  • you’re better off teaching your kids how some things work, what might be safe to do online and what might be less safe, what possible implications for right holders and creators there might be if you pirate (and that those right holders and creators are often not the same people). Teach them to think for themselves if it’s worse to pirate a 35 yo movie you can’t find on dvd anymore, or a brand new movie that’s still showing in the local cinema. All of this is better than just telling kids “piracy is bad mmmkay!” and then letting them roam free so they start pointing and clicking utter bullshit and using a virus infested os.

    Tldr: educate children, talking about piracy is part of it.











  • The app promotions can be disabled in the Settings section of Windows 11, but it appears that Microsoft will enable these by default

    This should just be outright illegal for any new feature which “adds” “content”. Guess it will be another one of those funnies like the joke birthday-candles you can’t ever really get: update, “oops” reset your preference. Fucking moneygrabbers, it’s just never enough is it.
