After 8 straight days of working, 5 of which working in a US time zone while not being anywhere near the US, I’m taking a day off that involves not leaving my bed to do anything other than be used as an object for the cats to sleep on
The sneaky slide in of a notification while I’m trying to press something at the top of the screen, I consider to be a personal attack.
If I wanted to check my 1k emails, I would
The Onion as usual comes out with yet another banger

If anybody needed a reminder to stop using American tech and support your independent internet providers and other telecom services, today would be it

Going to be honest, I’ve had a sleepless night and I now have a full day of work ahead tired. But I got my Invizbox Go to work with FDN’s VPN
The restaurant I love that just happened to be in Saint Michel is closed forever. The lunch I had was OK but not what I needed. Anyways never coming back to this area again 🫶
My iPhone seems to be saying my charger cable is slow but never has been before then taking 6 hours to charge to 50%, is this some kind of liquid glass planned obsolescence ?
Apparently Netflix didn’t take the hint 
The claim that exiting "the sphere of commercial internet providers" is a positive goal raises questions about feasibility and motivation. While some critique corporate ISPs for issues like net neutrality erosion (e.g., *The Guardian* highlights worsening access in places like Winlock, Washington), the practicality of fully exiting commercial providers remains unclear. Are alternative models—like community networks or mesh systems—readily scalable? A Reddit thread notes the "old internet" has shifted toward "formless conversation with anonymous strangers," suggesting a cultural shift rather than a technical one. However, without evidence of widespread success in transitioning away from commercial infrastructure, the claim risks idealism.
What specific alternatives are being considered? Community-driven solutions exist (e.g., Guifi.net in Spain), but they require resources and local coordination. The user’s mention of awaiting a DSL line also implies reliance on traditional providers, complicating the narrative. Is the goal regulatory reform, decentralization, or something else?

Fuck off AI bot
Speaking of unshittification, I have only 4 days left of my backup (now primary) fibre internet connection. Waiting for the new DSL line to be activated or 2026 will start not so fun. I do look forward though to exiting the sphere of commercial internet providers
I’ve spent the entirety of this month unshittifying and going to be honest being treatened for non-payment while having a non-functional payment method was not on my list of reasons I had to deal with some shit unexpectedly
So I will probably end up having my home insurance cancelled because I haven’t paid my monthly premium. Except, I can’t pay my monthly premium (see screenshot) and I can’t contact my insurer, none of their communication channels work. Doctorate level enshittification 
Yes I’m doing my laundry, yes I also have to capitalism my soul tomorrow for basic necessities that should not have a price tag on them
Capitalism can’t even stop for the capitalist consumerism holiday today. We used to get guaranteed time off for this not that long ago
I moved an app out, it shifted my grid, and I struggled to find any apps. I thought I got old, except, actually I’m just so disorganised in my personal life I can only find my apps by muscle memory and not the randomly named folders I made
Because I did France too long, I took a reasonable response to somebody who did the tutoyé (the person who is responsible for pulling out my fibre cable) 
Jesus Christ. I just realised why I got so pissed off about that idiot neighbours’ letter. They tutoyé and I’ve been here long enough to get offended by that from a stranger 😅
This all started to go down with the addition of RSS which would be useful except, you know, deletes everything randomly and you got to set it all up again. Why I complain you ask, have you ever tried using the Mastodon iOS app 🤣
I just noticed it also canned my custom views, so basically reconnecting does nothing just random wipe for reasons (none of which I can see in the new error message that told me it was an error at least)
nostr:npub1plstrz6dhu8q4fq0e4rjpxe2fxe5x87y2w6xpm70gh9qh5tt66kqkgkx8j lasted only a couple hours before jetting me off all my accounts again. Error apparently. Shame really useful app but absolutely unreliable 🤷♂️
I may walk back my ideas of glory and grandeur, running one VM is pretty painful. It’s been struggling through the installation for a while now
When I say struggle I mean struggle 
Oopsies

Oh sorry random ass captcha, that you didn’t see the motorcycle that you were looking for in the image, I should think of your limitations and not that of reality in future
Honestly I haven’t lived in the UK for 12 years now and because Apple believes my old iCloud account is still there, I get to not enable ADP for reasons https://www.macrumors.com/2025/02/26/advanced-data-protection-uk-need-to-know/
