Why not “Substantial Labour Addition Verification Edict”?

an internet (sort of) without computers.

Really? You mean like the … telephone network?

Oh, we hate the french too! So we made even more even more laborate labor laws to outdo them!

We get up at 6 and we head to work between 7 and 9.

So depending on the day and person its just a quick coffee. But on other days we have time for bread and croissants.

Interesting. I have friends eating breakfeast at my place before work one or two times a week.

You may hate on me now.

If the human was smart he would say that we use base 22. Then everyone would understand.

That is fine. But it is still stupid to say if you want to get to know somebody.

Why else would you need to remove that phrase unless you wanted to do something bad?

A good few plagues are diseases, so … Why not both?

You are talking about crypto after the hype. But actually the idea before the hype was pretty cool. It was basically to allow safe payments around the world without any government control needed.

In my city there were a few shops that took Bitcoin back then and a cup of coffee was something like 2 Bitcoin.

Did you see crypto going away anywhere? Because I sure as hell didn’t.

The cloud was the dumbest hype because it changed nothing. Network services were now named cloud services, that was it.

We also got:

• cyber: the realisation that the internet exists but 20 years too late
• big data: companies snorkeling your data for targeted advertising and government surveillance
• blockchain: safe ways to pay your dealer and investment scams
• VR: the weirdest sort of corporate meetings and some cool game experiments

IOT seems kinda ok in that regard. Connect your microcontrollers to the internet to allow some extra coordination.

Some custom keycaps and a custom layout definition and that should be doable. The numpad has 16 keys.

Yeah, its fucking absurd. Closest option is probably a fairphone right now. They allow a bunch of degoglified options of android and a few linux options too.

My mobile OS of choice is currently Lineageos for Microg. Makes all my apps work and protects me from google as good as possible.

You don’t need to log in to google for any of what you listed to work with google play services.

I use a ROM with microg and it actually works for all the things I need.

You do know that Firefox is essentially Netscape rebooted, right?

Also I don’t really know what you are trying to say here. Netscape was definitely a better option than Internet Explorer.
