Generally fegan?

Watch carefully. You won’t see civilization fall apart at this rate twice in a lifetime.

Sic transit gloria mundi.

No, that’s where they come from. Back in the good old days they used to end up in kettles stirred by members of primitive tribes wearing chef hats. Nowadays they are probably getting composted.

What is hidden in the cellar and ticks silently?

A Trotzkist irony detector.

He means “National Socialists” can be divided into nationalists and socialists. And molecules are made from moles and cules. laughing in bad French

You mean they stole it from him? Like the election?

Hahaha. OK. That’s indeed kind of losing it. Even if the Nobel Prize wasn’t directly meant to be a competition.

I was not aware that you could “lose” the Nobel Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize -once granted by a jury of scholars- has been given by politicians to other politicians for years now and has become just as worthless as you’d expect. Trump should definitely have one, just because he likes golden things so much. Maybe they should create a special category, the Trump Nobel Peace Prize, just as the economists did with their “Nobel prize” for economy (or whatever). The latter is not a Nobel prize at all, but who cares. Maybe put double gold on it or better put two medals and extra cheese in a burger roll. I bet Trump would like that,

Well, have a look what content is getting the most views. I had no idea someone could be that stupid.

Gopher was not the original protocol of the web but an alternative to HTTP/hypertext. It didn’t get the same traction, however, and has practically been dead for decades.

That’s why almost no ISP is offering it anymore. No one made money from it, so dump it, maybe try to squeeze some cash out of those hwo really want it but better just drop it.

Ze right way to replace “th” is as always ze German one. Zat’s an order! And if zee AI zen sounds like ze Führer it’s just for ze better. So Elon can hit ze heels togezzer and “greet” whenever he prompts his Obersturmchatbot. Jawohl, Scheisskopf! Hollahiaho, Potzblitz und Schweinefricken zugenäht!

…and YouTube is one of the major reasons. The web’s not a fucking TV and if you’re using it as a TV you’ll get stupid even faster than from watching actual TV.

Too stupid to be like Trump. You’ve got to be Merz for that. TBF he might be just too stiff and socially inept to be a good copy, but still: who in the world might want to imitate Trump except comedians and Merz?

I can’t say I’d understand what mysterious kind of data it might be that’s stored in social media networks but is owned and used by myself. Really - I don’t have any data I’d want to make use of stored in any social network, except banal stuff like my last few listens at Music Brainz. Usually you’re uploading the sort of data you want to be published to social media. They’re not created there, so why would I need a URL other than file:// with a local path attached to access it. I also seriously doubt that klicking “Save as…” really is some secret and complex ritual known only to immortals and the priest caste, nowadays. (I might be wrong here. I just do not have anything to do with mortals or godfood in my daily life.)

But… but, there is no such thing as local storage. There are just other people’s clouds!

…and you should thank them for it. you ingrates! Because, after all they have been granting you the undecieved privilege of deciding for yourselves what software to install for too long. We should all thank Google for taking that burden away from us, soon, as well as Apple who never granted anything to anyone. Not for free, that is, and not much anyway.
