Bavaria is probably the most "German" german region. That's where all the lederhosen stereotypes come from.

Basically it's the Texas of Germany. Old school, religious, and conservative.

Edit: in the very rural parts, they even have their own dialect that to some Germans is almost completely unintelligible. I realized this when I took German language classes in high school in the USA and what they were having me learn was very much NOT the way my Bavarian mother spoke to me. It felt kind of irritating when they told me I was pronouncing things wrong and my grammar was wrong when I fuckin' lived there as a child and spoke it fluently.

Microsoft. They've been itching to go to a fully cloud-dependent subscription-only model for Windows for a while now.

Going to guess you were cruising BBS, FTP, and Telnet sites? I was just an ignorant preteen coding Qbasic garbage trying to learn programming on my Dad's PC that year. When I read back on Internet history I was a little surprised it was already so active when most people weren't even aware of it yet.

At least now I know how Dad got all them free DOS games.

I noped out of the new shit the day they released it, and gladly clicked their provided link to take me back to old.

Downsizing my homelab! Free bit and bobs, just pay for shipping!

Over the past few years I’ve accumulated way too much random electronics parts and pieces from projects and random Aliexpress shopping sprees. I figured I’d split it out into various “packs”, but I can move things around as desired (or combine things). It’s all free + shipping, I can ship however you want but default...

If you put the Kbin link or Lemmy app right in RIF's place on your home screen, you'll barely miss it when your muscle memory comes calling for you to push the icon when you get ever so slightly bored.

Scraping is hard on a server though. You gotta download the entire page and all its data instead of just the info/action you requested. That's one of the reasons other websites bother to make APIs, so bots and others DON'T start just scraping them.
