Especially in Europe with exorbitant electricity prices, it’s perfectly normal. The prices just went from like 4 cents per kWh to 40 or even 70 last winter. That made everyone count kWhours really attentively. Now the prices have gone down - in some cases a lot, but the reflex to check prices is still there. A lot of us now have stock-bound contracts, so whatever the current rate for electricity is what we are paying.

That means we all have apps (mine is on my Apple Watch) and whenever the stock price is low we start our saunas, washing machines, ac:s etc. Currently the price is 4 cents per kWh and since the price is determined 24 hours in advance, I can see that the whole day will have similarly cheap electricity.

I knew there was a reason I didn’t buy Diablo IV yet.

“I didn’t need tickets” is the right answer.

Imogene, would you like a Gooseberry-cinnamon yogurt?

Meanwhile, a lot of other apps have “not affiliated with Instagram” as a disclaimer as their first line of the description. I was wondering if Apple requires it or even automated it somehow.

What’s the long term plan? Everyone hosts their own instance in Docker? I was thinking about using AWS container instances. I wonder how I would protect my publicly available interface though. I want to be able to access it from anywhere without vpn or firewall limitations. Do you have any good suggestion?

Wefwef is gorgeous for sure and eerily familiar to ex Apollo users. It does show the red error message a lot though. It even said my user doesn’t exist when I logged in, but somehow I am still logged in. And it only lets me upvote every second click. We’ll see if it lets me post this.

But visually it’s a pretty stellar effort.

Thunder is pretty gorgeous with some issues.

I have pro, but not ultra. Haven’t been able to unlock my purchase since I got my new iPad. Maybe that’s why I’m not getting the pop up now.

If you find sufficiently nerdy people in the Nordics, these are all commonplace. Torrenting may be illegal in so far as you also end up sharing (letting people download from you), so the illegal part is actually distributing stuff. Maybe look into usenet instead?

In Finland we have no game renting services, as far as I know. Exchanging games is also a bit old-school, since most installs are digital downloads these days.

Account sharing, especially Netflix, has been very commonplace within families in different appartments / houses as well as between former and previous partners. Probably between friends as well, but it's not something I would ask a friend unless they offer first.

Jailbreaking everything from iPhones to playstations has been commonplace for a long time as well as downloading pirated games. However there is always the risk of getting banned, downloading a virus instead of a game as well as bricking your device and voiding the warranty, but you know all that. Your fellow Nordic people won't look at you funny if you do it.

It is customary to not discuss this openly in the company chat where you work so that you don't cause trouble for your employer. Private messages about all these topics are ok, if both parties are onboard.
