I also want to thank ApolloAbove and Spine for updating these so quickly, because there is indeed a situation where all of this must happen. Also, everyone who participates and is making sure all of this will happen.
Thank you ApolloAbove and Spine for the old site rituals.
It makes it much more pertinent for me because I can do them on my old iPhone 4s. Otherwise I'd have to get the laptop out and I hardly ever use it. Slow and cumbersome thing the laptop. Well pleased with old version site.
Thanks once again to everyone involved.
I second this. I have an older phone too, and I am struggling as is to keep the important applications running, since it's been running out of storage space. And I've been having to delete things, and move around things to be able to do the things with it that are necessary nowadays. Its been a pain in the arse.
The Netherlands seems to be going through being pushed into communism. Everything must be new tech. Instead of hiring more employees to do the scanning at the kassa, every supermarket now has a 'self scanner', to make it faster to get in and out of the store, but people also steal from this.
Taxes are increasingly getting higher still, along with the price of inflation.. Groceries are expensive as f, not to mention the price on electricity and gas. Increased lobbying for solar panels, energy savers and whatnot.
Yet still they lobby very leftist 'everyone is welcome here' etc.
They finally decided that they will try to raise the minimum wage but that only means more inflation because somehow the 'income/profit must always be the same' for companies, with the result that products are going to get more expensive again, although A LOT is imported from China as is already.
This also leads to things like getting your hours cut. Having to work harder in littler amount of time.
Aside from this, the housing problem because of 'climate crisis' where they were not allowed to build any housing for a while. And any houses that are build now are apartments. And still, the increasing influx of foreigners.
And big taxes on cigarettes etc, whilst they're trying to make the production of weed/pot legal at the same time, because they are trying to get it out of the criminal circuit.. Criminally high fines on stupid things like wrong parking..
And trying to ban the car from the streets and out of cities, but the public transit infrastructure is too bad to cover it properly, plus also expensive to use it if you don't have a plan at that company that runs that infrastructure.
In other words: You don't want to be here.
