The 100% fake enthusiasm, especially if it comes after buying a mediocre product.

The annoying corporate speak.

The bad voice over where lipsyncing is completely gone, this is mostly a thing of the past here in Sweden, but from time to time you get ads from companies launching a product across europe and only record one video to the ad and then translate and do a new voiceover for specific languages as needed, but fail to sync the audio with the video.

Annoying music, for months now a company has been pushing their financial services withe the same terrible ad that is a slideshow and an increadibly annoying music, there is no person talking, they just have a fast tempo music track. I have vowed to never buy anything from them because their ad sucks and is annoying.

Reusing ads, sometimes a company buys almost all ad slots on YT over months and reuse their one ad video so it is completely grating.

Self-righteousness, some ads go from being overly enthusiastic to being intolerably self-righteous. There was a new clinic chain of companies that started a big push a few years ago on yt and for several months you had to listen to an overly kind and happy grandmother wearing a company branded sweater, faking a hearty laugh and telling people to go to their clinic.

I remember being taught in school to apply source criticism, and that seems to have largely died as a concept.

This was back in the early 2000s…

Windows 11, the settings panel, a terrifying combination of old and new technology.

To be honest, I mostly made the comment as a joke.

But if you like them, check them out, however know that Fluxbox will not support Wayland, you need to look at Waybox for that.

I have no idea about is WindowMaker supporrs Wayland.

Yeah, but it is something.

Window Maker or Fluxbox

Back in the summer I had been to the shops, done my shopping and sat in my car downloading podcasts to have easier access to them on carplay, when a 10-12 year old girl opened the backdoor on my car.

I just said “wrong car” to her, she looked shocked, closed the door and walked to her mom standing by a nearly idendical Seat Leon, just a few parking spots further down.

Outside of my brain and body?

Probably my mobile phone

Ah, good old linear TV!

Eh, I get what you mean but I disagree.

That is sort of saying that if someone want to learn Swedish, but since they don’t know any Swedish, it is better to start them on Norweigan first.

If UFW had used a similar syntax to that of iptables, then it would be a decent way of doing it, but in this example I disagree with you

UFW

This is just my personal computer and I’m a newbie to configure firewalls

Leave it alone.

If you want to experiment, set up a VM and experiment there.

Also, if you want to learn about Linux firewalls, go for iptables instead. UFW is easier, yes, but you won’t get the standard way of configuring a Linux firewall, though to be honest, unless you are directly connecting the computer to the internet, you probably won’t need to bother.

And if you are working in an environment where you are dealing with a segmented network with limited access between segments, they will probably already use a separate firewall that is easier to manage centrally than induvidual firewalls running on individual computers

Yes, it would be better, but unless I saw the code, understood it and verified that it is the code running I would not trust it as much as I would need to trust a system like Jarvis

Correct, which is why I regretted posting it as soon as i did.

It looks deleted to me, I am using Voyager when I am on my phone, so a well known app, I suspect that the comment I wrote made it to the sync queue, I then immediately deleted the comment, which deleted it on lemmy.zip but didn’t clear the comment from the sync queue, but did generate a delete request to be synced.

Then as a sync request probably would be smaller than a comment and probably has a higher priority than a comment, it got processed before the comment was posted, creating the situation we have.

I have no indepth understanding of lemmy, but as an IT guy, this makes sense

Exactly, which is why I deleted the comment just after I made it as I realized I didn’t have the energy to debate the issue

I am confused, this is the second reply I get on a comment I deleted just after posting it.

I did so as I realized that I didn’t have the energy to debate my smartphone preference with random people online

This misses the point completely, I have tried both Android and iOS in the last five years, and to me iOS is just better, it works like I want it to.

I don’t have a lot of crazy stories, but I have one unusual story.

I got to go take a private train with my dad.

We had one first class car and one locomotive.

My dad worked in the train industry, he sold equiment used for railroads.

He called me one day and asked if I wanted to ride a private train, I had time so I gave the only apropriate answer, “yes”.

So after having worked a night shift I slept far too little, got on the train to the city my dad was in to ride the private train back.

He was doing a demo of his company’s equipment and had arranged for them to use a private train, I just joined him on the journey to our city as a fun and interesting experience.

What?
