I miss the time when not all icons were a rectangle or a circle.

Sadly Firefox is also slowly becoming malware.

One of the first things I do while migrating user to a new PC (or just giving one for newly employed person) is that I disable all useless Microsoft shit automatically starting up in the task manager.

You can still use the classic version of Outlook, that comes with latest Office. It is literally called “Outlook (classic)” in the start menu.

Writing detailed and technical comments in English is easier that saying a simple English sentence in real life for me, lol.

I don’t know if that was a near death experienced, but one time I have nearly collapsed when commuting on a bus, after I drank 5 cups of coffee. My blood pressure went through the roof.

It also made me think some things in my life.

To be honest I really think that an AI surprising human brain in many ways is a matter of time, but what people don’t tend to talk about is whether or not we are slowly approaching the limit what we can do with technology, because I already see tech progress slowing down in some areas.

I don’t understand ads. Do people actually use services and buy products because of a shitty advertisement?

Aren’t most XML parsers faster than JSON parsers anyway?

It definitely is better, but it sill has some stupid quirks that in some cases could probably be fixed by few lines of code, like not locking the screen when you are on the lyrics screen. It also is very slow to start-up in offline mode, which drives me nuts. But otherwise it is much better performant than Spotify and has better ways to listen to new music, instead of the dumb intelligent randomize feature on Spotify.

That’s interesting, here in Poland you pay ~$12 for the family plan.

I didn’t know it was that expensive in US. That sucks, man.

I can think only for one legitimate reason:

• Google bought out YouTube and operated it at loss for most of its life, effectively making it a monopoly in the process, and only started to earn money on it when there was no way any other alternative would come up and endanger it.

If you ignore this, YouTube Premium is a pretty good offer. And I personally like the fact that I support content creators, without the need of watching ads that are nothing more than cancer for society.

That said, I would still prefer YouTube to return to its roots and separate from Google, since it’s pretty much possible for it to stand on its own right now, I guess.

IPA [aɪ̯ pʰiː eɪ̯] as for International Phonetic Alphabet for the real win.

Not sure who that is, but great 👍

I once did double “parentheses” in speech when started doing streaming year ago, lol.

If you think that if you cannot count a minor version number from from fingers and toes, and it is meaningless anyway, why not drop the current versioning system entirely? It would be fine if it was (major version).(patch)

What happened to his kid? That is terrifying.

Probably some vigeo game on that is ~150-200 GiB. Does that count?

• Btrfs on my laptop with openSUSE, mainly because it’s default, but also for its snapshot capabilities.

• Whatever file system my default Raspberry Pi installation uses (probably Ext4).

• NTFS on my main computer With Windows 10, because… well… I don’t really have any other choice, although I know there’s some kind of 3rd party Btrfs driver for Windows as well and you can ever have boot partition formatted as Btrfs, but I think it’s still experimental.
