Thanks will have a look 👍

They claim that they don’t link/save your search history so although they have your details for payment, technically it’s not linked. If they aren’t lying…

You’re accusing Cory Doctorow, the guy who invented the phrase “enshittification”, of making a blog post that’s really an advert…? Really???

I had no idea there were smaller models out there catering to this service! What ones would you recommend? Not asking for a friend, genuinely interested in playing around (no pun intended) with them to see what they produce… the fantasy stuff isn’t really me, I’m just fascinated to see what they come up with…

Natural History Museum in London… before you even get to the exhibits it has some of the most breathtaking architecture.

Usenet

The Working Time Directive means you can’t work more than 48 hours per week and it also prevents employers from making you work more than 48 hours per week (there are some exceptions eg workers on ships and trainee doctors) but in most EU countries you can opt out of it.

Lotus Notes

Plot twist… my new employer uses it even more 🤦🏻‍♂️

Depends on the age of your tracks, if you have old Victorian bridges etc or aging signal systems it can be very hard indeed.

(London btw)

Have a read on the trouble the 2600 guys have been having sending out emails for the next HOPE conference - the junk filter is also great at filtering out topics it deems unsuitable.

How do you provide evidence you didn’t use something???

I’ll give you one more guess…

Can only speak for the UK but as the lowest civil court here, small claims decisions are not binding on any other court (including other small claims courts) but they are considered “pervasive” and thus a judge should be aware and take them into consideration.

He said he was UK based… 100% unenforceable, an employment tribunal wouldn’t even bother hearing it

Well in which case you probably won’t believe me but I’ve been using Kagi for a while and am extremely happy with it… no link with the company at all other than a very satisfied user 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can improve Google a bit using ublacklist but it still wasn’t anywhere as good as Kagi.

I will say Kagi isn’t as good when it comes to looking for local businesses or services… I still use Google for that but you can do that within Kagi with a !g and it anonymises the search

Pronounced “shitter”

If you replaced “company” with “monopoly” in your last sentence, I agree.

Also it depends what’s driving that attitude… if it’s an ethos from Gabe then great but he won’t be around forever… what happens when he dies/retires?

Many companies have started with great ethics that went out of the window when the founders moved on, and Steam is in a fantastic position to enshitify if it wanted to.

Fingers crossed on Larian getting a licence for Traveller…

You have the same problem as my mother who also cannot distinguish between being told she is wrong and being called a liar.
