Sold an eBay item and sadly the postage option was Royal Mail. The “48 hour” delivery has been a week so far, meanwhile I can get a package from China (via Evri at our end) in like 5 days. Take that in. It’s faster to get a package all the way from China than to post in our own country with RM

Genuinely not here to crap on Apple. I'm always getting tempted back onto their stuff. But my god what have they done to iOS, this new "liquid glass" style is tacky as hell. It's like a Temu version of Aero from Win7.

Fascinated by the existence of the iPhone Air. It's like they're asking "are people willing to pay more and make sacrifices for an extremely thin device?" which I've always thought is a "no" and Apple have always assumed is a yes in their past designs.

The card payment processors can back off with the censorship as well, it's not their job to police content.
Honestly I get the thing on both subjects of protecting youngsters, but this ain't it. (Hot take, parenting would probably help)

Hi from Switzerland
Okay not really but I'll keep fighting all this Draconian control of our internet access, one being using VPN rather than submitting. All the UK government has achieved is making us care about our privacy more and sending the NSFW stuff they're concerned about underground

Come on, the likes of GDPR, CAN-SPAM etc have been around for years now. Even if it's B2B, if my work address (or worse, my personal one) is receiving newsletters or sales emails with no "Unsubscribe" link, it's getting reported as junk and blocked. No exceptions.

I am a total nerd and recreated brand new Windows 3.1 floppy labels off a photo I found on archive.org for my retro rig. I was able to find 3.11WG but not 3.1 which I started with (included tada.wav!) I could probably share a PDF for printing onto Label Planet LP10/70 labels. #retropc

Meanwhile in Germany, the town of Wank is not allowed to use its “I ❤️ Wank” slogan during the skiing World Cup. In summary: No Wanking.

The motherboard I unearthed at home which is being used to recreate a similar rig to what I had around age 13. AT cases are rare as rocking horse shit, usually a yellowed and rusted wreck and command like £80 on eBay. Got a NOS beige ATX case coming instead to force it into with mods

I still struggle to get off the ground when it comes to posting on here. I think leaving t'other place made me realise I don't need microblogging that much. Maybe I'll end up posting more now that it's getting popular though
