Sure, I was always interested to see where everyone was traveling. That's what I had Facebook for until it turned to shit.

I don't have to hear anything about babies though.

Just got the upgrade today. It failed somewhere halfway, made a mess and destroyed grub with no way to restore it.

It's so wasteful. It costs paper, electricity, bandwidth, and mostly, my time. I don't have money. If you advertise something that costs money, I'm not interested.

I heard one I thought was ridiculous. You can pay a company because you spend so much you don't even know where your money is going, because don't we all have so many subscriptions nowadays?

I have a no spam sticker on my mailbox but brokers don't care. No, I don't want to sell my home so you can drive up the rent. If I'd own the place, I could do that myself.

I already go to the supermarket every day. Why do they need to shout at me telling me what they're selling? Stop wasting money and make stuff cheaper instead

Because they don't have change?

Happened to me before. The ATM only gives out 20s but the driver only wants small coins, only cash is accepted.

It happened in several countries and it's still a mystery to me how you're supposed to get small change when you're fresh off the airplane or something (or why they don't just take card).

I'll just mention QMMP which is basically a Winamp clone. Works great and I've used it for many years now.

More recent ones that are really good:

Barry, a show about a murderer that turns out to be really funny.

Snowfall, about drug dealers making it to kingpins. A similar show, Queen of the South is also good.

And some classics that are funny and clever enough to rewatch:

Keeping up Appearances, I think we all know some of these characters in real life

Flight of the Conchords

In the last week, I came across 2 videos that started with an ad. Both were embedded YouTube videos. They must have found a way to circumvent adblocking.

It's loud and annoying and I don't have the patience for this. I just didn't watch those videos.

Many people my age have terrible boomer parents who just had kids because "that's just what you do". They didn't even consider you could just not make babies.

Maybe we just think more for ourselves than the older generation.

You're out of touch. Employers don't want overqualified people. They are the ones that decide for you that you can't possibly be motivated for such a job. You'll only leave when you find something better they think, which is definitely true when you claim to just "bridge the gap".

Happened to me as well, freezing up the whole system, especially with many/large files. None of the suggestions I found online actually worked. Happened on USB drives as well.

Then my whole HD gave up completely. Replaced it and all problems are gone. USB drives as well: turns out Linux at least tries to read it so you can attempt to save some data, while Windows just says it's unreadable.

I tried it on a new Lenovo (AMD). The cursor size changed its size from normal to microscopic, depending on the application you hover over. Went back to X, no issues there.

Still can't run Wayland on my system (Nvidia) at all.

Of course, but how often would you go to a coffee place? If you work in an office, coffee is usually free anyways.
