Your ISP sent you a push notification? How?

I don't understand what you're trying to say? Is this like M.K.Ultra?
SkinTaco··on Fairphone 6 and PostmarketOS working main camera
What is that bit about Bedrijfsaansprakelijkheids­verzekering at the end? I've never heard of business liability insurance before. Does Germany not have an equivalent of an LLC?

Hahaha

Let me guess - you live in the UK?

SkinTaco··on Big tech's anti-labor playbook has come for Wikipedia
Agreeing with the negative portrayal does not make it an unbiased article.
SkinTaco··on Big tech's anti-labor playbook has come for Wikipedia
You should've checked those pages first, they're actually very neutral lol.
SkinTaco··on Making RAM at Home [video]
Slashdot still exists?
SkinTaco··on Delve – Fake Compliance as a Service
Why is the line drawn at being international?

What is it about customers in Ethiopia that necessitates this? What is it about American (non-international) customers that doesn't require a register?

SkinTaco··on Human Rights Watch says drone strikes in Haiti have killed nearly 1,250 people
I suppose in the context of the article you're commenting on you're saying the bad people are the ones defending the women and children from being raped?

Good thing I transitioned last year, I like my job
SkinTaco··on Codex, Opus, Gemini try to build Counter Strike
Specifying the second 0 implies portions of one cent. Like if I said something costs 10USD, the one dollar bill is implied to exist even if it isn't used (same with 10.00 implying the existence of a penny)
SkinTaco··on Codex, Opus, Gemini try to build Counter Strike
What does 3.500USD mean? Are we bringing back the half-penny?
SkinTaco··on I am stepping down as the CEO of Mastodon
Would you say that people who donate one hundred euro or more every year should receive some form of special treatment when it comes to their account status? Not sure why that detail is relevant. That is a very American point of view tbh, not sure why a fellow European would be parroting such currency-focused viewpoints. It's not a good look
SkinTaco··on Sharpie found a way to make pens more cheaply by manufacturing them in the U.S.
So am I going crazy or... Are tarrifs the answer here? It sure sounds like something needs to happen, are there better alternatives?
SkinTaco··on Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2025
That's Idaho, USA for anyone who lives in one of the 194 other countries in the world (yes we do exist!)
SkinTaco··on Grok 4
Yeah, I'd agree. In fact I do have a bsky account, lol
SkinTaco··on Grok 4
Luckily we don't need a benchmark for "how easy is it to turn this AI into a bluesky poster", since they can all already do that
SkinTaco··on FTC rule on unfair or deceptive fees to take effect on May 12
That is unlikely considering this executive order https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/comb...
SkinTaco··on Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM; retains Black Friday
Another month? Which is the first month?
SkinTaco··on Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM; retains Black Friday
This is exactly what happened years ago when these calendar events were added. You're just on the other side this time.
SkinTaco··on Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM; retains Black Friday
Would you support White history month being on Google calendar? Or do you only care for some of your fellow citizens
SkinTaco··on Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM; retains Black Friday
I see you agree with the people who were having their feet kissed earlier, sorry to hear your token gesture has been taken away. I'm sure you'll get it back in another 4 years.
SkinTaco··on Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM; retains Black Friday
The only reason these holidays were on the calendar to begin with is because they were kissing other people's feet earlier. People are upset because now it's somebody else's turn to receive token gestures.

You don't have to like this but it's more clear than ever before Google never cared about any of these holidays

SkinTaco··on Federal government to outlaw doxxing, impose up to seven years' jail
Quite funny that the headline omits which federal government it is referring to. As a non-Australian reader (we actually exist on the Internet!), it wasn't the federal government of my country.
SkinTaco··on T-Mobile users thought they had a lifetime price lock–guess what happened next
The problem with ATT prepaid is it's deprioritized to the same level as mvnos - might as well buy an even cheaper mvno plan at that point.

Tmobile is the only big 3 carrier where all branded plans have the same priority

SkinTaco··on Vietnamese property tycoon sentenced to death in $27B fraud case
Fine, change Ukrainian to Australian and my point still stands.
SkinTaco··on Vietnamese property tycoon sentenced to death in $27B fraud case
Imagine how insane it would sound if I went to a Ukrainian news website and insisted they label their currencies because "some of us are from America (yes we do exist!) so I don't know if this is USD or the hryvnia!"

You'd tell me to pull my head out of my ass, right?

SkinTaco··on How to found a company in Germany: 14 "easy" steps and lots of pain
Classic - someone from the EU who regularly hates on the US is upset when people do it to their country.

I always say: if you want to know the bad parts about America - Ask a European! They're the only ones who seem to know.

SkinTaco··on EPA bans asbestos, a deadly carcinogen still in use decades after partial ban
