  • I guess I’m weird, but I would look forward to that experience: installing a new OS, learning new things, discovering my computer all over again, drawing up a plan to achieve the migration, finding solutions to unknown problems … Sounds like it would be a fantastic way to spend a weekend.







  • The laws can absolutely be written such that companies are required to suspend service to any suspected child without requiring ID to use the service.

    The laws shouldn’t focus on “harming children” so much, but on “harming humans”.

    The big tech companies should be held responsible for the actual damage they are inflicting upon society, and their methods to artificially inflate “engagement” (or whatever the hell they call it) should be held to scrutiny. Whether or not the damage is inflicted upon an underage person or an adult, is merely a distraction.

    Those assholes would love it if we all had to identify ourselves and prove our age, if it means they get to keep inflicting their shit upon us.






  • I’m Dutch speaking Belgian, so culturally similar I guess…

    I generally don’t wear my shoes at home, and I don’t know anybody who does, but it is considered weird to ask guests who are not staying over to take their shoes off, and it would be considered weird to voluntarily take your own shoes off in someone else’s home. It is more a question of intimacy and is considered getting too familiar. So unless you’re really familiar with each other, or you’re staying over long term or something, guests keep their shoes on.

    In practice, I take my shoes off when I’m at my parents’ home, or at my girlfriend’s place, everywhere else they stay on, even at friends’ places.
