The just important thing a teacher explained to us: our university’s core business is handing out diplomas. That’s where they get their financing. Everything else is just a cost. That’s probably why the level was as so low and I could redo all my failed tests until I passed. Most of my school time I spent looking out of the widow, bored.
It’s so different from other countries where they actually teach. But somehow our diplomas as worth the same.
The internet was always a place to share. The recent move to monetize everything is destroying the internet. So no, I don’t care about content creators being paid. Even so, ads are annoying, they take up my time, bandwidth and break pages and are so completely irrelevant to me.

Only since I’m abroad I got into drinking bottled water because of my girlfriend from Germany (Germans drink bottled water all the time because they claim their tap water is toxic). I drink it because it’s got bubbles and I’m no longer buying sugary drinks.

But it runs what I need, unlike Apple would, and the battery is still great after 6 years and it has a headphone jack.

This can’t be correct. No way people use Signal more than Whatsapp in NL. And Temu, this app Google Play tries to spam you with? Why?
