if you have an appliance that someone doesn’t that’s because years of failed economic and social policy has lead to Dickensian poverty, a dire warning for all good statesmen to heed
if someone has an appliance that you don’t that’s sheer decadence borne of sumptuary demands, a fool living in beleaguered aristocracy rather than simple and pleasant humility

seems like we haven't had images load for a bit over a week; apologies for taking so long to address this. the cause was that the SSL cert for the object storage domain (files schelling.pt) had expired, as I had forgotten to renew it at the same time as the primary cert for the root domain. I've resolved the issue & will try to find time to automate the cert renewal so that we don't face this issue again
major thanks to @WomanCorn and @TetraspaceGrouping for pointing this out!
I feel like the world's governments learned an exceptionally poor lesson from the global financial crisis of 2008:
"We must ensure that the cost of housing always rises faster than wages, or there will be global economic ruin"
I don't think they've thought ahead to what lies at the end of the road that they think is avoiding ruin.
what's the deal with smile.amazon.co.uk, like it's a tiny amount of free money but only if you do the weird ritual of typing smile before the URL, what do they gain from doing it like this
is it like PR for donations is nonlinear but cost is linear so by making it trivially inconvenient to use they cut costs massively while keeping almost the same PR ??
