my actual biggest wish, which I will never get because the administrative costs would be astronomical, is that the cost added to goods be directly tied to their recyclability (both in materials and labor) as it would incentivize building more easily recycled products by manufacturers to keep costs competitive.

Interesting point. I guess the price of the individual product won't be differentiated based on cost of recycling, but there will still be an incentive for retailers and therefore manufacturers to make products last longer, which might be better in the long run?

Yeah, I've done the opposite myself - used Windows native webdav integration in file explorer to access my Nextcloud data.

Note that this isn't "syncing" anything in the way that (say) Dropbox would - all the data is stored remotely and you're accessing it online only essentially.

But of course it's optional? I don't understand why it's scandalous that they've put that in the middle? Did you want it in the headline?

Yeah, I know this is the self hosted community, but nothing is as easy and straightforward as OneNote. I keep coming back to it after trying self hosted solutions.

Giffgaff uses o2 and also blocks duckdns. Additionally, whatever blocklist my employer is using also blocks it, so it's probably a common thing now.

I'll be honest I didn't really have a problem with the ref that match. We should have buried them when we were on top and didn't. We didn't take our chances, that's how we lost the game.

I had a similar experience and I couldn't figure out why - this explains it!

There's bands I listen to that have <10 monthly listeners. They still deserve their $3 a year IMO.

Yeah, surely you have to find out first, before writing an article titled "Tech news doesn't understand ad blockers or Chrome extensions"? This appears to be the crux of the article, and yet the author isn't worried about finding out? Weird.

Definitely better in built up areas. I've never had a problem with one, even on 4+ hour journeys on motorways and A roads. From what other EV drivers say though I gather the problem is worse in the north than the south.

I've tried a lot of different things before settling on a old (windows) laptop with a wireless mouse and keyboard... I just cba with any of the streaming boxes anymore, and the laptop will always be compatible and performant.

Same with our guinea pigs 🐹 they all passed away in the last 5 months, the last of them was in perfect health and died of loneliness essentially after losing his herd. Getting some great Black Friday deals now though....
