Anyone remember or been to those markets in eastern europe, where you could buy bootleg CDs, copied CDs, cracked games, counterfeit products, etc?

“Attention, trailer swings out!”

When the English tongue we speak.
Why is break not rhymed with freak?
Will you tell me why it’s true
We say sew but likewise few?
And the maker of the verse,
Cannot rhyme his horse with worse?
Beard is not the same as heard
Cord is different from word.
Cow is cow but low is low
Shoe is never rhymed with foe.
Think of hose, dose,and lose
And think of goose and yet with choose
Think of comb, tomb and bomb,
Doll and roll or home and some.
Since pay is rhymed with say
Why not paid with said I pray?
Think of blood, food and good.
Mould is not pronounced like could.
Wherefore done, but gone and lone -
Is there any reason known?
To sum up all, it seems to me
Sound and letters don’t agree.

Ich hab sie vor rund 14 Jahren auf einem Festival entdeckt als ich “nur aus Spass” mal gucken wollte, was A Capella Metal sein soll - einfach geil.

Ui, den Eintrag in der FAQ gibt’s ja nach all den Jahren immernoch Ü

Ihr seid kein Metal. Ihr habt keine Gitarren. Ihr seid Schwuchteln.

Danke. Endlich sagt’s mal wer. Und - wie läuft’s mit deiner Band? Wann spielt ihr auf dem Wacken? ;-)

“💩” - Twitter actually, when requested to comment

Wouldn’t that imply the existence of a ExtensibleMarkupLanguageHypertextTransferProtocolRequestFactorySingleton?

Nobody needs to watch anyone’s console game clips on Twitter.

FTFY

Wait, how did you even finish a single match in just 120 hours?!

Tell me you don’t know xkcd without saying you don’t know xkcd. These comics are licensed as CC-BY-NC 2.5, which means you are allowed to remix and use them, without explicitly asking for permission, as long as you attribute the original/author (which is given here) and as long as you do it non-commercially (which is given for this post IMHO).

Yes

Welcome to the watch list!

Which one?

All of them!

Yes, it’s their picture, but your data (in the sense that the AI is now trained with your likeness)

A small collection of English sources to keep it international:

(Obligatory) XKCD - get all new xkcd comics right into your feed reader

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal Geeky, fun webcomic about science and other stuff

Pluralistic.net Cory Doctorows Daily commented link dumps (and rants). Usually about enshittification of services/industries

Buried Treasure Blog about Indie PC games that are real gems but don’t get much coverage elsewhere but are high quality.

NOYB - None of your business. An Austrian NGO that fights companies so that they conform to the GDPR (more interesting if you’re from the EU)

Google Project Zero Blog Deep dive into some exploits and bugs. Very technical.

If you do not object, they can and will use your data, posts, images,… to train AI on it.

When you object, they (pinky promise) won’t do it (knowingly - they say you may end up in their training material if e.g. a friend of you uploads a photo of you but doesn’t tag you)

We noticed you bought a fridge yesterday. Are you interested in these fridges, too?
