I feel like it’s 2000 all over again on the Internet. The bloat has made pages borderline unusable, and using AdBlock or NoScript reverts any so-called “design progress” back to the good old HTML days.
Google is only semi-useful now, while pages like DuckDuckGo are starting to deliver results reminiscent of the old Yahoo or Lycos days.
It feels like my trusty, old-school Internet skills are helping me navigate this mess. The reemergence of usenet / groups feels inevitable.
Every Drop you drink is contaminated or once was,… pee. And Mythbusters proofed that poop-dust is everywhere.
My friend, sorry I think you should talk to someone real. Get help! That shit destroys…
I like it simple. I use Jerbora on Android and can’t be happier. I use duckduckgo browser and it’s YouTube mode, so I have no ads, cookies, trackers or popups. It’s actually close to perfect.
Compared to e.g. Discord, I feel like wasting most screen real estate for static eye candy info,… no thanks.
Well yes,… but no, you can face significant financial burdens if someone in your family needs living assistance, such as a parent, and the state steps in to cover the costs. The law allows the state to require adult children to contribute to these expenses to a certain degree, but only after all assets of the elder or disabled person have been exhausted (“bankrupting” said person so to speak).
While this is not the same as bankrupting an entire family for life, it can indeed become a heavy financial strain if the parents were not adequately insured or financially prepared for such situations. The obligatio, however, is subject to strict thresholds and limits, such as exemptions for children earning below €100,000 annually, ensuring hardship is avoided.
Then don’t stop shooting them until everything gets better.
I think this case is closely watched by the elites who it may concern. Especially the social reaction. I am waiting for them to spin it like “Communist Dictatorship Vietnam” in conservative media (if it gains mainstream traction).
From your description alone, knowing only the US and not Japan, it sounds like Europe is the middle ground. Not as free, but less socially oppressive. I mean, in Japan it’s mean to walk while you eat… how deep is the interference running?
Edit: Am from Europe, sorry should have added this.
