- I started using Lemmy
- Got back on Mastodon when it got rolling a bit more. I follow more accounts now and it's actually fun.
- Got back on linux after a 5 year hiatus. I should have done it a whole lot sooner, I enjoy using my computer more.
- Needed a laptop and instead of buying a new one, I got a secondhand laptop from a local system administrator who put linux on it. Debian is great and I love the old Thinkpad.
- I've applied to a learn/work program in web development. I haven't started yet, but I will soon. I'm so excited for that.

Thanks, it really was. I had happily used the self-checkouts for years before that, so it's a real shame.
NL as well. Maybe it's because it's a big city, poor neighbourhood, more theft, I don't know, but I'm done with it.
Also, some places do random inspection. But that’s frustration free too
Yeah, I'm gonna disagree with that. They've recently ramped up those checks because of increased theft due to inflation. They also scan more items now. After having been checked 4 times in a row and them completely emptying my bag each time, I no longer use the self checkout.
A secondhand woolen blanket. After years of being sweaty and uncomfortable under synthetic duvets, I've never slept better.
The original Yoshi's Island is so much fun! How far along are you now?
I've been replaying Stardew Valley lately. My first run was in 2018 when it was still version 1.3, so there's loads of new content to play through.
The words can be copyrighted alright, that's not the problem here. Even without publishing them, the creator already has copyright over his 624 words. There's probably nobody who would be interested in publishing them because, let's face it, they aren't that interesting on their own, unlike a novel or a poem. All the stuff that makes this a piece of art is added by the AI, whereas a printing press adds very little to nothing to a book.

What do you need that for?
It just goes to show how an accusation like this sticks to a company's reputation. The reason for your company switching could be totally unrelated, yet your mind still jumps to this. Have you asked why they're switching?
Can you link to an example? I remember this from years ago, but haven't encountered it for a long time.
