I see, Samsung is mentioned in that article. Like I said, I think that is obviously bad, but it’s probably not as bad as somebody dying.

I guess it’s because many young adults move far away from home to get jobs in cities.

In the past young adults probably would have stayed living near their family, so they could see them easily.

Do you have a reputable source showing that Samsung phones, for example, are made with slave labour?

If they are then that would obviously be very bad, although I’m not sure it’s as bad as somebody dying (like in OP’s dilemma).

Ethernet is obviously better but running ethernet around your home can be a pain in the arse

I miss Maplin, I still use stuff I bought from there

I’m not sure if he’s claiming that Brexit is the reason for EU troubles, but I dunno because I haven’t listened to the full interview (which is here, but I think you need to be in the UK to listen to it)

Maybe he’s referring to the political troubles in Germany and France - the governments of both countries have collapsed recently

Great post. Happy Holidays You Bastard by blink-182 is a classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KYOAw47O-I

I’m not saying you do. I don’t use Twitter anymore. What I was trying to say is that I find the state of the world worrying.

I looked a Bluesky but I noticed a lot of MAGA people trolling in the comments. Maybe they can be hidden with account settings probably but I haven’t looked into that.

Sure. Maybe it’s worrying though that social media is splitting on ideological lines. This didn’t really used to be the case. Twitter was intended for everybody, so was Facebook, etc.

Maybe the divisions in western societies are becoming sharper and more bitter. That’s probably not a good thing.
