Definitely fuck them. The largest pro-privacy, entity really, ISP in Sweden had them sued for copyright trolling. I believe that Elsevier in response blocked any Bahnhof-customers. Bahnhof blocked Elsevier traffic with this tenner: http://elsevier.bahnhof.se/.

This was a big deal when working there because Bahnhof had a track record of not honoring requests to give out personal info or blocking any sites. The CEO also secretly recorded the FRA, our equivalent to the NSA, as they were trying to make a deal under the table to be able to spy on customers. There's even a video recreation (the server he's holding used to host Wikileaks)!

For more info about the Elsevier stuff: [https://bahnhof.se/2018/11/02/senaste-nytt-bahnhof-blockerar-internet/](here's an official big post in Swedish).

Uninspired is definitely not the right word.

I only have an illusion of choice because I can pick between corn flakes and chocolate cereal instead of corn flakes from a mega corp or locally produced corn flakes?

I have been played for an absolute fool!

(also, this is an non-issue in Sweden, which apparently is not a western country)

Not only do they force you to use the App Store, developing an app for iOS is a nightmare. Without special tools you must have a mac and a $100/yr apple developer license.

After having to deal with that shit at my old place of work I've moved to never touch app development again.

Yes please. I thought I finally managed to get a proper block list, then this garbage pops up. I'm not sure I'm ready to block memes just yet, even though it's mostly politics.

Is it "Emacs pinky" possibly? Emacs is an editor with hotkeys for just about everything and a lot are based on CTRL.

I've gotten used to using an Emacs layout and eventually my pinky started to ache too bad so I remapped caps lock to be control and everything is much more comfortable now.

I hate trucks and SUVs with a passion, but I don't really get the hate here. I could barely fit two Billys in my 2015 Volvo V70, or our new kitchen table and chairs because it was too wide.

I'll be installing a trailer hitch ASAP when we move because a trailer is always superior to trucks.
