  • There’s always been very vocal criticisms of her from people who don’t agree with her (for whatever reason they may have). But since she first started her activism, over a decade ago, no one I personally know has had a negative view of her. The people who don’t like her are very vocal about it, but on the whole I’ve always assumed she’s well liked.

    I’ve personally been a fan of hers since I found out about her, and every time I hear about her doing something I basically always go “hell yeah”



  • I think I found the answer. When I checked Starlink’s site, those prices plans match up with the personal plans, but it appears that the user in the screenshot has a business plan.

    Starlink Local Priority Pricing Starlink Global Priority Pricing

    Screenshots should be the Business Local Priority & Global Priority pricing respectively. My prices might be different than the original screenshot (I’m in Canada and I’m not sure how they localize pricing), but the data amounts seems to line up with the selections in the screenshot.


  • When I worked hospitality, a Karen was someone who automatically assumed that anything not exactly how they wanted it was a personal slight, that you as an employee are not important enough to fix it for them, and that anything short of grovelling is grounds for being fired.

    If they listened to you explain why something occurred or why it was the way it was, not a Karen. If they didn’t threaten to escalate because you weren’t offering enough compensation, not a Karen. If they didn’t blame you personally, not a Karen.

    And, funny enough, most Karen’s I’ve encountered were men in their mid 40s



  • I really enjoyed spreadsheets before becoming a programmer (I still enjoy them, I just spend less time on them) and basically self taught over the years using Google Sheets.

    There are several really useful functions on sheets that simply do not exist in Excel, and there are others that work almost the same but not quite. Having to use Excel drives me insane sometimes because of how clunky it feels.

    By contrast, using LibreCalc feels kinda how you’d expect an open source Google Sheets to feel? It’s slightly clunkier, but it gets the job done and generally feels better to use than Excel

















  • I’d ask what some of her favourite moments were.

    I found with my grandparents that they’d focus on the smaller things as they aged. Sure, they could talk about the major events but they actually liked talking about the little things.

    My grandmother (who is best described as an eccentric matriarch) would tell stories about how she changed her general store to one ~10 km further away because the closer one “didn’t serve poor people” (she’d tell the full story of why every time).

    She died at ~77. I can only imagine what moments she’d have in her heart if she had lived to 108.
