Meh every generation has its quirks. My college class in 2000 spent 1 whole week going over the Windows Start menu…

myrmidex@slrpnk.netto Belgium@lemmy.world•Court of Audit fears payback effects in Belgian budget are highly overestimated2·3 days agoParty of a balanced budget cannot balance the budget after years of not being able to balance the budget. Shocker!
The plastics factory still irks me. 750 million given to a UK billionaire in return for 300 local jobs. If this were a government program, it would quickly be labelled as inefficient. In comparison, for that amount, we could’ve given those 300 workers unemployment benefits of 2000 a month for 104 years, and not have our earth and air polluted.
myrmidex@slrpnk.netto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli opposition leader, former general Yair Golan, condemns his country for 'killing babies as a hobby'English21·3 days agoI haven’t heard of Greenwald since the Snowden files. What happened to him?
myrmidex@slrpnk.netOPto Belgium@lemmy.world•Flanders’ labour migration crackdown at odds with OECD recommendations2·5 days agoAbsolutely. You’d think an “economy-focused” party like N-VA would gladly accept migrants to fill up these “bottom-rung” jobs. Instead, they prefer feeding the anti-migrant rhetoric even if, as the OECD claims, it will hurt our economy.
Is there any other way to interpret this, except that N-VA prioritizes racism – or at least pandering to racists – over the health of the Belgian economy?

Rather than right vs left, I reckon this is caused by the other axis, authoritarian vs liberty.
myrmidex@slrpnk.netto DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•What apps do you use now that you're degoogled?3·5 days agoFilen is one of those under consideration, along with Seafile. I hadn’t heard about koofr, I’ll check that out as well, thanks!

myrmidex@slrpnk.netto politics @lemmy.world•Grok pivots from 'white genocide' to being 'skeptical' about the Holocaust3·6 days agoNow I’m intrigued. In what way did they modify the engineer? :)
myrmidex@slrpnk.netto DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Here is how you can almost guarantee that your Android phone cannot connect to any Google server.English6·9 days agoAurora is a thing of beauty when you really need a specific app on the Play Store.
I do notice however that a local public transport app is malfunctioning since a few weeks, I suspect because of a Play Store update enforcing some dependency or integrity check, causing some apps to fail. For now, it’s just one or two, but I’m anxiously bracing for the next app to fail.
myrmidex@slrpnk.netto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the point of constitutional monarchies? Why even keep the monarchy in place if they aren't even doing anything?2·9 days agoVery cool! And also very handy. If you get tired of them, just reverse the current to some ocean wind turbines, and they’ll never make it back 😀
myrmidex@slrpnk.netto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the point of constitutional monarchies? Why even keep the monarchy in place if they aren't even doing anything?1·9 days agoOf course. He’s rumoured to have partaken in pedophilic sex parties in the 70s and 80s. But that was before he was king, so that doesn’t count (apparently…).
myrmidex@slrpnk.netto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the point of constitutional monarchies? Why even keep the monarchy in place if they aren't even doing anything?1·9 days agoHahaha yes I would be more supportive of a royal sailing family 😄
What country is it that has these sailing royals?

Same here, Baikal user for about a year, no hiccups so far, works great across my devices.

How would one handle those extra scenes though, in storage as well as in a Jellyfin library?
I ended up on Readeck as well, very sleek interface, perfect for sharing articles via public links, self-hosting it was very easy to set up.
