Travel, nothing tech related

Fwiw, my blog’s statistics say Linux is around 10% and I know a lot of browsers identify themselves as running on Windows when they’re not, so I wonder how it’s measured.

I didn’t downvote but probably people won’t sit through a long video when the points he’s making could be a short list. At least give a summary.

More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker.

So make things even harder to find? A classic menu bar is not clutter!

Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.

If you’re thinking what I’m thinking, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with beer.

Reminds me of when I joined some classmates to the supermarket. We got kicked out while waiting in line because they didn’t want middleschoolers there because we’re all thieves anyways. So most of the group walked out without paying.

There are no pronouns in symbols ♂, ♀

It was interesting how random people came to talk to you and were really trying to get to know you. I don’t think that would work in modern day internet.

I knew they were around because at times I randomly remembered my ICQ number and I tried logging in, but they won’t let you if you forgot your password.

If interest rates rise, what will typically happen to bond prices?

Is this basic financial literacy? Who deals with this on a daily basis?

As for the other questions (inflation, interest), any average person knows this. What kind of people did they ask?

I never saw someone got bullied for their clothes in my environment.

But kids got bullied for wearing glasses, let’s hope they ban those then. Also, better to not let kids with weird accents in school. Wouldn’t want to provoke the bullies.

When it comes to chocolate, the US says it’s OK to import products made from slave labor since the violations don’t happen on US territory.

US doesn’t grow chocolate but they do build (crappy) cars. How convenient

Wouldn’t it show the icon of an executable file and ask if you want to open it or execute it?

I just came back from that area and there were so many people coughing there. I got home sick with what I thought was bronchitis and it’s not going away

I like appimages because I can install them where I want and you can just make a symlink in the bin folder.

You probably have to boot to Windows first and let it finish the disk checking. Then make sure fast boot is turned off

I used to rely on news feeds through Firefox until they suddenly removed this feature. I switched to an RSS reader but around the same time, a lot of websites started dropping their RSS feeds. I’m out of the loop of why this happened and it’s probably one reason I feel so bored being online nowadays

Well, yes.

Here, cars are not fast. Cities are congested. When I worked on the other side of my small town, getting there by bike or by car cost the same amount of time. In bigger cities there is public transport.

We generally also don’t live hours away from where we work. I got rejected for a jobs because they didn’t believe I’d commute for an hour by car while looking for a new place
