I don't know, I once installed xubuntu on my parents old laptop, my dad who knows a little bit about computers hated it. My mom who knows nothing about computers liked it. My dad knows just enough to get spyware and shit

It will also help with getting more people being born (combine this with making abortions illegal). So you remove all the immigrants and replace them with forced babies.

Yeah it's not like anyone in that club was not a racist before they joined. They just got easier to spot, hope this club has an app with a public (user) database...

My local gas station now has screens on the pump. Not the big unit, but the part you put in your gastank. It shows shitty ads. Also in the Netherlands you can't lock the gas pump, so you have to manually press it to get more fuel, so you are almost forced to watch shitty ads.

My Google account is older than 18 years, yet they still want me to verify my age for some youtube videos.

Time to listen to this banger again

Even on your phone, install Firefox, install adblockers, open all website links externally

Ha I remember reading some article in the early 2000s about the future of grocery shopping, and it said just that. We could all load up a cart and walk into a pay booth and pay. It would have been really great if that actually was a thing. Everything was going to have an rfid tag.

What I also don't understand, how in this day and age when we have AI that are better at image recognition than most humans do we even need to scan items? A couple of years ago I was in a supermarket that had a conveyor belt, where you place your items. Basically identical to a normal check counter. But instead of a human the items go through a small tunnel with a lot of camera's (possibly a scale) on the inside. All items scanned automatically, no extra responsibility of forgetting to scan an item, etc. Not sure why I never saw that concept again, it worked great.

About the second point, this is copy pasted from a Dutch magazine that looked it up (auto translated)

Forgot to pay for something? That can have serious consequences.

Forgetting to pay for something doesn't automatically constitute theft. The shopkeeper will have to prove that you intentionally left something unpaid. However, if the shopkeeper believes it was a case of theft, they can call the police. Is this your first time? Then you'll receive a reprimand, a kind of warning. However, you will have to admit to the theft. This won't result in a criminal record, but it will be registered in the police system.

Another possibility is that theft will be reported to the police. In that case, you may even have to appear in court. The police will then have to prove that it was intentional – and therefore theft. The shopkeeper can also handle the matter themselves. In these cases, offenders must pay €181 in damages. In some cases, a ban from the shop will also follow. Last year, tens of thousands of shoplifting cases were handled this way.

I'm happy to see someone who dislikes them as much as me.

I recently went to the self checkout because I was in a hurry and only had 5 items (one of them ice cream).

One item (croissant) didn't have a bar code, I accidentally selected chocolate croissant. When I wanted to correct this, I had to click 3 menus just to delete an item. After I deleted it, the counter locked. It told me to wait for assistance. After a while I just picked up my 5 items and went to a different self checkout counter. Still nobody came to unlock the other machine.
