Ubuntu. That's the issue. Enough said.
Elaborating. They had their moment to shine, as in, being the friendly Linux, by virtue of being debian unstable but having enough community to solve those.
Lately, they have been ran over by many other distros also Debian based, because of their retarded corporate push.
Yes, snap, looking at you. Who, in Linux, would accept a package manager that does shit on its own, without your consent?
That's fucking stupid for anyone who has used Linux, like, ever. -

I'm sorry to inform you that you are indeed running a potato. A pretty, overpriced potato with a fancy logo on it, but a potato nonetheless. -
@Demolishun
It's not proven that Wolf spiders cause necrotic bites, or at least not the species outside Australia (duh) and south America. -
@TeachMeCode
Not a banana, seems like a fruit fly larvae.
Spiders are fucking awesome, and you should not kill them.
They are more afraid of you than you are of them, so as long as you don't disturb them, they'll stay clear of you, and meanwhile, trap and eradicate any other insect pest in your house, which, in hot summer climates, is a fucking godsend.
Also, usually (not always, but usually (looking at you, Australia)), the larger the spider is, the less likely they are to be venomous, and most species' chelicerae and smaller species' sting can not even pierce your epidermis anyway. -
@Demolishun
I had DDR too, but my retarded sister stole my mats. -
And, for those who would say it's only arms flailing, if you play it right, you have to actually dance, and it's pretty exhausting.

Two words.
Beat saber. Contact me for instructions if you want to pirate it. (Not that I don't support them, but VR market is predatory).
Just playing 3 songs in expert beat saber is like 45 mins of workout. -
@marcus5914
Still, for us westerners it's bewildering that on a third "meeting" (I guess it's the right term, but I'll take it as third "date") you are discussing *marriage*. -
Well, #6 is gonna be a bummer.
The best way to learn a language is to go out and speak it.
I mean, sure Portuguese is easier for native Spanish speakers, but in just two months time I went from having lots of theoretical knowledge but being unable to understand two words together to having decently fluid conversations.
And that came not from books or media, but just sitting in a noisy bar listening and speaking to people. -
That's why psychopaths thrive.
When you use socializing as merely a tool, because all those other people are just means to an end for you, it's easy to thrive. -
Marriage is a trap anyway.
So glad I realized before it was too late. -
If you have already secured your retirement (as I hopefully will in 2 years time), then, just do anything you want.
If it's hookers, as long as they are free workers, and not product of human trafficking, go ahead.
Go travel, buy playthings, enjoy.
I know that's what I will do. And maybe the hookers too. Too burnt last time to even consider a relationship anymore. -
@retoor
Gandalf is, by all means, a fucking angel-like being way above puny mortals.
Dumbledore is actually a fraud.
Didn't fucking confront Grindelwald (yes, blood pact of whatsoever, lame), and didn't even fucking try to wreck Voldemort, which he could allegedly do, and buy another 11 years without him even if he still hadn't figured out the whole horcrux thing. -
@retoor
That's because it's French, and they like doing weird things XD. -
Because you have them upside down...
-
In windows you can arrange your monitors so that they align on the bottom instead of the top.
Also, you have this accessibility option that if you hold Ctrl for a couple seconds, it will display ripples around the cursor to help you locate it. -
In the end, I'd have to say (and I'm not making it personal here, please don't interpret it so), we tend to flee from the over saturated touristic areas.
It's become so bad that locals can't even afford to live there anymore, which is a shame (and we're the ones to blame).
Just saying, we of course welcome tourists, but please don't think of our countries like your backyard summer resorts where you can forget your manners and do all the stupid shit you are not brave or impudent enough to do in your countries.
We will all benefit if that shit is kept in each one's homes really. -
As a Spaniard living in Portugal, usually my choice is just... North of Spain.
(North of Portugal is Spain anyway).
Mild climate, still cheap if you know your way, which we obviously do. (We can smell tourist traps from miles away), nice places, nice food, nice beaches, nice mountains if that's more your thing.
Then again, if I'm feeling more adventurous, it's Ireland/Scotland/Netherlands/Belgium/Normandy for me.
Can still get by with the language, know enough of the culture to be able to mingle with locals, beautiful nature (which is more my thing), and terrible food, but I can overlook that 😂. Better beer/whiskey though, so I manage. -
As long as you can see it, there's nothing to fear. Fear it when you can't see it...

At my last company before WFH, I would use lunch breaks to socialize a bit, because, when you are in a new city where you don't know anyone, work is usually a good start to, you know, start socializing.
I always like to watch the news on my phone while eating, and some people would sit nearby, and we would comment.
After 2 years, we had a fucking giant TV in place and our corner was packed.
Of course, they are all still my friends even though none of us work there anymore.
Then again, on the other hand, if someone wants to eat alone, just leave them be, don't impose yourself on them. -
@Demolishun
I know about induction, I even mentioned it in another rant.
However, unless your phone is specifically designed to be charged through induction, and thus being able to power it, any other kind of induction in the circuitry is more likely to just fry the electronics rather than do anything useful. -
@Demolishun
Well, I dare say without battery they can't do a thing. Another thing is that the phone switches off way before it's actually at 0. -
No. We come from a world, Earth, where days were actually shorter.
The gravitational pull of the moon on the tides causes the Earth to slowly lose angular momentum (and the moon to drift away).
The days are actually getting longer every passing second. -
It's not their first blunder, and it won't be the last, they have just become so adept at brainwashing their blind followers and hiding all their bullshit under the carpet that no one usually notices.

@Hazarth
Probably some induced current on the headphones circuitry, or the internal speaker magnet, or bad RF shielding, causing EM radiation picked up by your headphone cables, or receiver.
Same thing happens if you use any kind of Bluetooth audio device near a microwave in operation, for example. -
That's not reCaptcha, just plain old captcha, which was replaced because, not just chatgpt, but computer vision in general defeated it long ago.

@kanyewest
Do you mean fusrodah? -
At a wedding, well, to be exact, at the pre -wedding, so today it's getting half wasted to be presentable for tomorrow and tomorrow getting full-overdrive no-remorse no-regrets wasted.

@Lensflare
I used to actually headbang while in the office.
Sometimes I'd even actually sing a line instead of silent singing or have drumming sections heard (foot and desk taps). -
Btw, if you have VR gear, half life alyx is a masterpiece too
