For me, it only ever made the normal plonk, nothing fancy and custom.

They had at least two or three halfway sensible naming schemes, which they then proceeded to abandon after like one generation.

I fault marketing department at the chipmakers that are trying to somehow justify their existence.

Also, don’t tell anyone you know that, or you’re not gonna be on any jury.

I mean, it’s Adams. Anything he says being true is like fifty-fifty at best.

Not that Eric Adams is a very trustworthy source. Guess we’ll see whether he’s full of shit this time.

My local supermarket swapped over to a system with no scales, which works fine. Probably running some kinda detection software on their surveillance cams or something, I’d guess. At least scanning goes faster now.

I’d argue Threema. The server code isn’t open source, but the apps are auditable. You can use it without any other identifiers (phone number, email are optional). It comes from a private company, but they have had a good track record.

Edit: They also have a version on F-Droid, without proprietary components, that uses their own push protocol instead of Google’s.

Hmh. I feel the growing need to replace my E480 with a T480.

Edit: Hmh, 200€, and I could probably make some money back by selling the E…

I’m vegan, and don’t disagree with the sentiment, but that meme looks like something you’d see on Facebook.

If you wanna change that, maybe start with money game 1, 2, and 3, hi ren, or the tale of Jenny and screech. Or don’t, I’m not your parent.

I mean, I get what he’s going for. It’s just mostly less fun to listen to than the earlier stuff.

You know how expensive CEOs are? Huge expense suddenly gone.

Would like to see him live one day, the recordings always looked fun. Don’t think he regularly comes to my side of the pond, though.

What do you mean by that?

Made me look at my replay. Feel like my music selection was a bit erratic this year.

Dunno the others, but Ren is pretty great. Kinda salty he blew up though - he used to be a great recommendation to give people, and now everyone knows him.

Forsa vom 03.12. hat 3% FDP; 4% Linke, BSW; 11% sonstige.

Yes. Regardless of the second part. Don’t invest in private prisons, even if it’s sums that would seem inconsequential to the industry as a whole.

Edit:If it’s invest in, in the sense of, buy the stock of, I’d still say yes. It still contributes to the success of the industry, even if just minuscully so.

The lobbying stuff seems sensible.

The market cap of Alphabet/Google alone is an order of magnitude larger than your budget.

Offering bad politicians lots of money is probably a bad precedent. Also, depending on your definition, there’s potentially a lot of them.

Free public transit, healtchcare are also significantly bigger than your budget.

So since that doesn’t work - how about you buy a social media network, and get chummy with the corrupt candidate for president you push, then be part of a commission to destroy most sensible parts of the federal government. Also, build a creepy compound for all your children and their mothers.
