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.
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.
I remember always switching to another channel when ads came up, but later that became impossible because they all started ads at the same time. So it seems to be on purpose to prevent people from switching channels. This was in the Netherlands, though I haven’t listened to radio anymore since Napster came out.
It’s normal to get such weird brainfarts, like the call of the void or imagining murder or other bad things, just like when a song suddenly gets stuck in your head. A healthy person thinks “wtf brain?” but when you start to think “that’s a great idea I want to act on”, maybe that’s not completely normal.
“Just say you did it or we’ll kill you” after years of torture so there doesn’t have to be a trial. Great work convincing us you got the right guys.
Well Americans are kind of known for not keeping to themselves and being chatty with strangers, when abroad at least. Even personal questions etc. So it’s strange to draw the line at helping others.
What a strange and sexist question. I’ve been asked by random mothers to carry their buggy with kid up the stairs, off the train etc. before. If I would speak the local language where I live, I probably would’ve offered. Judging by the comments here, I’m glad I didn’t make that mistake.

Never. Had to Google what it even is. I had something similar once as a child.
If you’re not a wage slave and have a bigger home, think of all the hobbies and interests you can pursue, new things to learn, time to meet people and space to host them, charity work… And you have the energy for things that a job would drain from you otherwise. I think life would be drastically different.
Where would you come across a bull though? I’ve never seen one in a field with cows.
I don’t include the rider. More confusing are stairs and crosswalks: where do they start and end? Often, there is no crosswalk on the picture but you have to select other road markings to continue. So it doesn’t really matter.
Only a few years ago, I found fireflies living near me. I never knew they existed in Europe.
Government decided to level their habitat though. They’re building a wildlife rescue center, ironically.
Out of the ones I’ve tried (Jerboa, Connect, Thunder), I think Thunder is best (after a little config) : https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/releases
If it survived a previous owner, it’ll probably last longer than new clothes with today’s quality
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.
