My college suitemates had one and I loved powerstone and others. First hand experience. Had an Xbox and PS2. Still didn’t buy one of these.

I used to love the print Indy. It was a fantastic paper, and the Sunday edition was genuinely a great read in itself with brilliant contributors.

Ever since the print edition ceased (some may point to the launch of i as the turning point but I’m not entirely sure that’s fair) the entire operation has been turned into an ad farm masquerading as a news site.

It’s a cross between a tabloid and the Million Dollar Homepage nowadays, and what a shame that is. At least it keeps browser “close tab” UI devs in business mind.

80 tea bags?? I can justify 40, but 80???

original2 ,

I have 9 cups per day, so 80 is too few for me in fact

lugal ,

Have you tried reusing them? When they are still relatively fresh you can brew them 2-4 times depending on the quality

CanadianCarl ,

They come in a package of 200 for me. My mother gave me all her new tea bags. I will have enough till next year.

lengau ,

40 teabags? What, are you shopping for more tea twice a day?

That has to be a GDPR violation, right?

topartinno ,

I think this is only in UK

Ah, right, the joys of Brexit…

I’ve seen this recently at German newspaper websites too.

weker01 ,

No, the EU does not force entities to provide Internet services for free.

You have the choice. Pay with your data or your money. I hate it too but what can you do?

stoy ,

This is a newspaper, not an ISP.

But from what I understand of the law, what you are saying is true

steuls ,

While no it cant force it for free and they are free to have an Ad based version the cookies could be considered a violation of the ePrivacy regulation:

Allow users to access your service even if they refuse to allow the use of certain cookies

Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.

Although the EU has been pretty lax in terms of enforcing a lot of these regulations

Why are you getting downvoted? You are right.

Because no, they are not.

bjorney ,

For what?

steuls ,

Most likely ePrivacy rather than GDPR although in most discussions they become the same thing

Loads of them are doing this now, I’m pretty sure it’s illegal.

You’ve been had. For that price the jif should either have transparency or be animated.

Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this, my family is dying.

cicadagen ,

I’d say cut on rents, go homeless, get a tent. Best way to save money… also, you can spend that more on animes figurines ;)

jol ,

That’s way too much on food. I recommend dumpster diving to cut that down.

A normal amount of adverts I think are fair though. Asking to get the content, not paying anything for it, and refusing to watch adverts is just a bit too cheeky, in my opinion.

breadsmasher OP ,
@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

No. Most other sites allow you to refuse personalised tracking cookies which doesn’t stop advertising in general but stops targeted ads and tracking cookies

kolorafa ,

They only need to serve ads related to the conent. Because that is most likely something im interested in as I’m visiting the page for that. They don’t need any permissions/cookies for that.

Recently tried to get mine working (it’s been stowed away for a while) but it’s not reading discs at all anymore or even booting to the menu screen.

We used to have to do the turn it on it’s side trick but I think it was just stuck in a dark dank basement for too long. Kinda want to rip it apart and try to fix but we shall see.

Could always replace the optical drive with a gdemu (not necessarily the best walkthrough but entertaining)

MonkderVierte ,

Why do most youtubers act like the only target audience is teens? It’s cringe.

MNByChoice ,

Agreed, but Teens have lots of time. They are likely 90% of the audience.

There was a bit of: Bowie can I please move you 2 cm right please? It took some work. Thanks for noticing 😄

Ive seen so many sites that just straight up wont work if you dont accept all cookies. You get the “tracking free” version of the site which is literally nothing. Or they say ok, just make an account and you can reject cookies. Fuck that

Saoirse. Sounds like ‘Sursha’.

Golfnbrew OP ,

She played Erin, Orla McCool was a great name, And Sibohan (Shabonne) was the nun on Derry Girls. Had to watch that with closed captions, but so hilarious!
