It could also be conditioning and culture. A lot of American culture seems to be centered on the ego, the satisfaction of the ego and then a very fast escalation to anger and violence if the ego is perceived to be threatened.

I don't think it is realistic to wish it go away with the generation exposed to lead paint. And I doubt it is productive to make microplastics the new excuse.

Edit: As I saved, it came to mind how difficult it must be hearing all your life that you live in the greatest country ever, having national flags and the anthem and pledges of allegiance drilled into your being from a child. And then life is hard and society is fucked up and you're supposedly living in the best country in the world so how could you be in this miserable life? I think that might explain people being on the edge all the time and worn down from the stress and the guilt of not being successful and also how easily nonsense like somebody driving past you becomes a threat to the ego.

I did a little skipping out today. It's a signal to my dog that we get moving along.

I reverted back to the old Google Assistant and now it can set alarms by voice command again.

It's absolutely ridiculous how they keep breaking what is working.

He had completely gotten the point but is afraid you'll do an irreversible mistake. He is clearly looking out for your best interest. Because he loves you.

It's a convertible that you can use as a tablet.

Others have already answered your questions, so I'll just drop in my anecdotal experience to moving over my desktop to Linux last year. I tried a few different distros but settled with Fedora KDE edition. It works with everything exotic in my laptop out of the box, except for the gyro that doesn't work with anybody else either. The desktop feels familiar and is easy to customize. I tried to like Gnome and variants but it is really settled on The Gnome Way of doing everything. Fedora is a fresh experience from previous attempts of going full Linux desktop with Ubuntu and even Mint. The GUI for software and package management is neat and includes native packages, flatpak both the fedora builds and mainline. Some minor things are not quite there but I believe that will be the Linux experience forever and I'm okay with it. I recommend to try it.

OP is cute thinking they be programming in the evenings after a full day of rafting.

OP. Just enjoy living outside of the computer. If you really must make a data memento, make the simplest possible recording device for your sensors. Then explore that data when you're back home. There will be plenty of time when there be no starlit skies and friends around a campfire.

Be honest. What did you say that offended Firefox so bad it decided to leave?

Makes oddly sense in the sounds of guinea pigs.

Flashback är Sveriges ända demokratiska sociala media.

Att det är Sveriges ända håller jag med om till fullo.

Ingenstans bajsas det ut så mycket spekulationer, skvaller, desinformation och otyglad rasism.

I've been craving something like this as an alternative to Trakt since their latest enshittification. Are there other alternatives? Do they share protocols and whatnot like lemmy, kbin, Mastodon etc?

 

This is a new change because not enough people find their VIP features worth the money.

I'll be moving to TMDb instead. And you should know that Trakt would not exist without TMDb open and free database and API.

 

I'm thinking that hanging still doesn't stress the fiber but possibly makes it stiff and brittle while a gentle motion caused a small wear but keeps the textile flexible. Any material science people in the house?

 

Alfalfabetically.

 

I think everybody needs one today

 

Edit; I'm not asking what the 90s were like because I was there. I'm thinking what the pastiche of the 90s would be like should it have a revival like the 80s one that is nothing like the real 1980s by young people that presumably only have vague ideas from magazines and music and movies to go by. Like for example if it takes off from grunge but not like it was then but like it is idealised by kids today, what would it be like? What else was a 90s thing? Boy bands and indie pop mixed together on MTV? Hardcore techno and jungle/dnb with it's own analogue distribution channels by mail, flyers, mixtapes? Last generation of B-movies with practical effects shot on film before that part of the industry degraded into C-tier on digital with terrible CGI in the 00s? Mainstream pop culture, whatever that was? Television and radio, magazines and records before the internet took off? How would any or all of that be reimagined by people that didn't live it back then? I had no interest then nor do I have today for fashion magazines so if somebody knows I'd love to hear your twist on the topic.

 

I enjoy the 1900s Avant Garde and experimental music.

Then again I'm also not joyful but abstract and dense.

 

Wardrobes and sets that look like 1980s magazines and catalogues but not like 1980s real life, palette with deep blacks and super saturated accents, post processing as if shot on film with optical lens effects and distributed on magnetic video tape though obviously shot and edited one hundred percent digital, modern synthwave heavy soundtrack, titles in red text on black background... You know the entire package. It's starting to feel lazy. For some reason it seems to be the aspiring young directors first feature length flick for the last few years or so. Damn I'd be more impressed by retro theming be the 90s or 00s that should be these directors genuine era of nostalgia.
