I would say you are kinda right, but working help desk for a few years taught me there are still a ton of dumb ass millennial users.

I watched a documentary (Dear Kelly) this weekend and he showed up in it for a few minutes. The whole time I was saying his face looked too big after years of mainly seeing edits

Ive been using redlib to browse hobby and TV show subs for awhile now and I like it better than old on mobile for readability. Theres a list of public instances on their github if anyone doesnt want to selfhost or test it before spinning it up themself.

But yes old.reddit redirector and ublock origin always get installed on Firefox right away.

Edit: I installed https://libredirect.github.io/ on my devices and life is good. You might want to shop around for default instances for all the sites you have active, or host your own to avoid throttling

The Blue/Green tick thing has winded down in my own personal sphere. My wife's family has a group chat where I was the only android user and would get dunked on when I replied. I just asked to be removed so they wouldn't have to deal with SMS/MMS bullshit. Now that RCS is on everything it doesn't matter. Ive been trying to get them to use Signal for the last few years but no one wants another app that isn't their default messaging app.

On the second part, yeah thats true. If Apple does anything right it's making "things work" for the average user, and I am sure we all know what the average user can do now. Any concerns I bring up with iOS is met with "but you work in IT and understand that stuff" which is hard to argue with when people just want something to work without troubleshooting and exploring options.

I was in a mosh pit for the first time in 7 years last year. I got fucking destroyed and was sore for about 2 weeks. I also slipped walking my dog during a big snow we had a few weeks ago and took me a little bit longer to get up than I used too. I am not old by any means and working on getting back in shape, but its starting :(

Not me, but my dad and his gf were at a headshop to get a new bowl/slide for their bong. They texted me and my wife to see "what the kids were calling them now a days" after a guess or two I said slide. They then went on a tangent how the people had no idea what they meant and kept trying to sell them a downstem lol. A few younger guys at my last job gave me shit for calling a banger a nail. Weed lingo sucks lol

Cool never looked into apt pinning but seems pretty interesting.

Looking at what I install as self contained packages vs requiring dependencies made this a lot more clear. Thanks!
