  • Someone who was actually alive in 2007 here. Live streaming was definitely a thing in 2007. In fact, that was around the time it stared getting big with the launch of Justin.tv (later Twitch.tv and acquired by Amazon). You forget that the internet at the time wasn’t as centralised as today. So many creators simply had their own website where they could post videos and stream.

    PayPal was more popular than it is today among other options at the time (like you know, using your card and making regular ass bank payments). Buying merch to support your favourite creators was common.

    The word “influncer” did exist and there were tons of them on the “blogosphere” in the 00’s. Today largely replaced by Instagram.


  • Capitalism is about ownership more than anything else. Capitalism states that the means of production is private property and to be used for the purpose of obtaining profit. As long as there is profit, supply and demand can go fuck itself along with the workers (those who produce). It really is a stupid system that can never be fully implemented (every economy is a mixed economy for a reason) since it naturally creates perverse incentive.









  • They are excellent in my experience. Very easy to work with. Had a bad batch of APs that all died on me but that was almost a decade ago and the replacements were just fine. Used a couple of sample devices I got from Meraki (they gave them out for participating in their seminars) and used them until the 2 year license ran out. Now I’m mostly using Mikrotik with RouterOS at home. Way more advanced but also more fun to mess around with.





  • The Swedish Nazi Party (SD) wanted to hold a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk in the EU-parliament and threw a hissy fit when denied. Them and their allies the Moderate party, the Liberal party, and the Christan party have been on the news constantly complaining about nonexistent “left wing violence” for the last couple of months. So we’ll likely see a sharp increase in political violence from them in the coming election.
