BBSes were pre-public internet, not part of the internet. The connected ones were a separate network in and of themselves. I ran a WWIV BBS in the late 80s to early 90s that had its own networking system allowing communication, and even file sharing between instances. It was pretty sophisticated for the time, but hella slow over my 14.4k modem.
WWIV did migrate to using the internet for connection, and maybe others did as well. Perhaps that's what you were considering with this comment?
My Samsung S22 did, but the Pixel I traded it in for does not.
I use a chargie. It's a physical Bluetooth connected device that connects between the phone and charger and lets you set your own charge limit. Works great with my wireless charger at night. I also have one for my tablet.
As a democratic country, we should be on the side of the 94% of the population that doesn't support the current government. Of course, that's probably not in the interest of our corporate overlords, who are robbing Peru's natural resources for profit.
This is the first I've heard of this. I've not received an email or any kind of message on the billing/autopay page.
Just searched for the original, and it no longer comes with a funnel or filter holder, and the number of filters seems to have been dropped to 100 as well. It seems to be a darker version of the clear now, but less than $40.
Greed ruins everything.
Very little moderation and yet people behaved themselves, though of course the number of non-tech people on the net were far lesser as well so that certainly had something to do with it.
I remember the pre-AOL Internet, and what happened when AOL opened the gates to the masses. That was the day the civil internet died, and soon after the commercial internet devoured it, forever changing the way people can scam, deceive and show hate towards each other.
If some company or the government wants to charge me 3% to 10% or more to electronically pay, I'm writing them a check.
I moved to Reddit when Digg destroyed itself. It wasn't too hard to make the switch, although it did take a bit of getting used to. I imagine it'll be the same this time, or maybe a bit easier, as the format of lemmy.ml is not too different in appearance from Reddit.
What's with the damn overlays? Who edits lighting adjustments into a video like that? And flags and random zooming portions of the video. That thing was a pain to try to watch.
