Probably someone outside of Europe, that was Commodores main market. Especially the Amiga generation.

No, in our calendar system there was year 1 BC followed by year 1 AD. So no zero. It’s just how they set it up, they’re human made ideas anyway. Many countries do not even use this system, for example it is currently year 2567 in Thailand and year 113 in North Korea.

I see. Thanks for explaining. So which do you like the most so far?

What’s the point? Aren’t most of them connected anyway? If not then the fragmentation is a real problem. I mean, who has the time or energy to click through dozens of websites which all serve the same or similar purpose?

SQLite sure but I doubt PHP has any negative impact.

Oh, OK, I’ve never noticed that, thanks. Sounds logical, there is probably much more societal stigma in the corporate office world.

I don’t get it, can someone explain?

Those aren’t available to register anymore though, are they?

I don’t use any service that requires a phone number, which even does that anymore? I guess Facebook, Instagram, Twitter? That’s surely just to track you. It is very easy to spoof a mobile number, the regular old confirm security code per email works just as well. Or just do email register + 2fa with an authenticator app or passkey.

There are better ways to confirm someone is a human. If they would not just want to gather personal user data instead, which apparently is the case.

Why the fuck do they require my phone number to register? No thanks.

I have never heard of Primewire but there were a bunch of movie/tv show streaming websites about a decade ago with direct streaming (like movie2k/movie4k) but they got busted HARD and IIRC the people behind them got long prison sentences.

Just this week I read the authorities had confiscated cryptocurrency valued at around 2 billion (!) euros from one of them currently still in jail.

Wow. If this isn’t a perfect example of the possible problems with federated networks I don’t know what is.

I’m still for it of course. But it has to be done right and this is far from that.

This is not a shit post, it’s a real issue for many. In Denmark there is a political movement for the rights of non-early birds, called B-Samfundet (B-Society).

A water flosser does nothing against calculus. I use one myself and it’s a nice feeling but for calculus you need real floss picks and brute force.
