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.
Edit: “100.000k” sounds like much, but a German Dad providing for 2 kids and a stay at home wife would need this as a bare minimum to pay off the debt for the house 25km from the next medium city, in the next 20 years. No vacation outside Europe. Nothing fancy. If a parent then requires 1200€ per month, it’s a massive strain… so yeah, not bankrupting but painful.
Remember the times when Humvees were considered big and stupid to drive in civilian applications?
Gen X had it’s Part in Memes and grew up. Like tech savvy boomers, Generation X seems predominantly stuck in the middle tier of the career ladder, overshadowed by their Boomer parents. However, they maintain a benevolent and generous attitude toward younger generations. They are fully aware that they will likely never own property, and having children is a significant risk. This painful realization hit them some time ago, hence their sense of empathy. The later you’re born, the more pain you inherit.
Then don’t stop shooting them until everything gets better.
Am not in the US.
We have “defund everything” liberals as well as “alt right nazis” and the conservative harliners or social Democrats… So all the things…
Free Market, Opportunities, Make Your own Way,… (without needing help)… that kind of stuff
True, “pull out by the bootstraps” is liberal anti government propaganda in some ways but also often cited by conservatives… idk…
Nicholas Forko… that name sounds made up.
What I am surprised about is, how united the different political views are in that regard (for now).
Let’s see how big money carves out some loyalist political pawns from the MAGA crowd by mental gymnastics (something something bootstraps). Listen closely to the Fox-News Spin on this story.

His maga fanboys would ram a rusty nail into their skull if he tells them it’s the hot new shit.
People who use premium should organize to vow to publicly shame and boycott any company putting adds in their premium plan.
Like anti commercials.
And if you venture forth into their support pages you can take a tour through different Microsoft design phases of the last two decades. When everything looks Windows XP/Xbox360… you have gone too far.
