I use the Firefox extension Untrap on my PC, and every time I go on Youtube it says the extension’s slowing the browser down. I use Invidious on an old tablet when I go to bed, and I just have to refresh now and again to get it working, but there are far fewer instances on the list, I’ve noticed.
God, finally someone else is saying it. I feel like a stick in the mud whenever this comes up.
Can you give an example? Because I’ve just looked at Luxembourg, Nepal, and Aruba, and they’re all littered with named buildings and landmarks. Pyongyang even has a fair bit filled in.
Skoda
They’re Czech. The name even has a little thing on the S, officially.
Talk about pigeonholed.
I remember reading a news story about a group of hikers who’d accidentally got off the last train at this station: https://www.osmap.nl/#15/56.7603/-4.6888
Human creativity always finds a conduit, eh.
“Dad’s awfully noisy in the toilet these days!” “It’s his new bidet! He says it cleans his arse to the bone!” “To the bone, you say?”
I had a temp job in 2006 where I’d have to reply to e-mails for a car insurance company, and it was so mind-numbing I’d be typing out the templates instead of copy-pasting just to pass the time. At a given point I decided to start signing all my e-mails with fake names beginning with R, so Roger, Robbie, Reg… I think I’d flown too close to the sun when the manager stood up and called out, “and who the fuck is Ruddiger?”

Hold back, lads! He doesn’t know what he’s saying!
And you’ll have fewer apps installed on your phone, which is something I’ve come to value lately.
I think you can find a middle ground between “I assume they’d come and politely discuss it” and “I think constantly whether my every single minor action can offend someone”.
You still occasionally see people talk about their weight in stone, but many just use kilos now, anecdotally.
In my experience, if you’re looking to lose a bit of flab for the summer, you’d say you want to lose six pound to half a stone (which is 7lb) or whatever, but if you go the gym regularly and keep an extremely keen eye on your weight, or if you like to think you do, you use kilos. As a rule, you’d use imperial for eyeballing or for measuring things with a bit of play, but you’d use metric if you need precision.
I don’t think that happened, unless the bedding was made of tarpaulin or clingfilm or something. But then you should assume that these stories haven’t happened, so there.
Could you elaborate? What kind of phone do you have and do you use a free messaging application like Whatsapp?
I live in the Netherlands, where there’s a QR-code-based payment method called iDeal, which you need a Dutch banking app or little code machine thing to use. With my bank, at least, there are a few things you can do with the website that you can’t do with the app, but for day-to-day use the app’s fine.
Here’s how I put images in Lemmy comments:
Now he’s Sitting Straight, I suppose. Sorry, that’s in awful taste.
