No, at work I regularly do non work related stuff. Also when doing work related stuff I prefer to use firefox as I can use adblockers.

Having said that I understand that I’m using work supplied laptop and if they force me to use Internet Explorer than that’s what I have to use.

Having said that it’s not so important as for my personal browser.

I get my ebooks on one of the following services:

• Annas archive
• IRC Highway
• Z-library through TOR browser

Stable resale value is indeed a great perk of an iPhone when compared to phones running Android.

Is this book more hard or soft scifi?

What did you like about the book, if you liked it al all.

Hows the spiciness level? 1-10 pepper scale.

I also take a lot of handwritten notes but disliked the hand writing UI on Onenote, I’m using Goodnotes for this.

It would be great to have all my notes in one system but I don’t mind that much. Goodnotes has good OCR so I can search my notes.

I finished it and read the sequel, loved the Shrike story line but there’s better scifi to read in my opinion.

Assuming you don’t have any mental health issues make sure you make every day worth living.

If you do have mental health issues you should probably get that looked at by a professional.

If you feel like life is a drag, and you dislike it, change it.

Try a new sport, build that hobby project you’ve always wanted, buy a motorcycle, plan a boardgame night with friends family, try that fetish you’ve been eyeing your whole life.

Don’t be a passenger in your own life.

Democratic Republic of Congo not being so democratic after all.

I’ve heard of them before but the pricing seems pretty steep. I now see they also have a free trial plan, I’ll check that out.

Thanks!

I’ve tried searx some years ago but couldn’t find a stable instance and didn’t want to host my own.

Got any viable alternatives? Duckduckgo just doesn’t cut it for me.

If you’re fed up with companies fucking you over there’s an alternative.

There software called Nextcloud which you can run on a server which works in comparable ways as Onedrive/Google Drive/Dropbox/etc. works.

You could host it yourself on a server if you know how.

If you’re not familiar with forwarding ports or setting static IP adresses you can rent some server space from Hetzner where Nextcloud is included.

I’ve created my account at .world, anything I missed? Seems to work fine for me

I’ve switched to Joplin which I sync with my Nextcloud server.

OneNote is also good, if you’re already in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Weed isn’t legal in The Netherlands, the sale of weed is only condoned. Meaning the coffee shops who sell weed cant legally purchase it.

As far as the laws concerned it magically appears.

I have too use Edge at work. Is Edge also implementing this shit?
