Why bother taking the survey then, or is it somehow mandatory?

I tried to use it, but honestly without an algorithm, it's simply an empty page. And I don't want to follow hashtags, since there's usually too much semi-relevant garbage linked to those. So either I have a curated feed of only the people I follow, which gets boring, or I got nothing at all.

Then you buy a factory new identical one?

It's a start though. As long as they can't legally get elected, they can't change the system from the inside. The NSDAP was a legally elected party.

Most people use Windows for work and can't switch, no matter how much they'd want to.

poverty wages

Citation needed.

Across patreon, opencollective and librepay they make a combined total of recurring $3507.66 per month, plus undisclosed amounts in crypto and ko-fi donations.

According to the post, less than $100 go towards hosting .ml, so that's an even 1700 bucks (plus x) for each of the developers.

They are budgeting in EUR, else I believe their origin country is undisclosed, meaning it could be double the national average (Kosovo, Montenegro, Greece); average (Italy, Spain, Portugal) or below average (France, Germany). Just to highlight a few, here's a full list: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage

That's of course under the assumption that they reside in countries that officially use the EUR and not merely use it as a common currency. In Bulgaria, Albania etc. they'd be quite a bit above national average as well (the source I quoted converts all domestic currencies to EUR).

I've installed a reverse osmosis filter for my entire house at the public water inlet, and chlorine levels are near undetectable.

I switched to outlook in browser only because their native windows software is so terrible. Wish I could leave that shit OS entirely.

As good as it gets, if you can't get around using Windows.

Unfortunately that requires a full reinstall, I wish there was a way to upgrade from 10 pro to 10 enterprise.

Is that hawk tuah chick still around? I saw some Instagram clips showing her trying to sell some shit on a podcast I never saw before, and then literally never again.

I was a paid patreon member which was supposed to give you access to the dev chat on discord, but despite asking a few times and paying for almost half a year, it just never happened. So I couldn't take them seriously.

Since I blocked .ml I can't leave a reply on the original message, and I'm not going to unblock them just because.
