Why would you want that though…

This is me eating salad though, I fucking love salad.

Pretty sure this isn’t true for most people. I don’t listen to anything that I did as a teenager anymore. Sure, if I do hear some song from back then it’s nostalgic and I do put on a song now and then, mostly at parties when the topic comes up or you know others there would like it but it’s very much not part of my daily listening. And I feel the same kind of nostalgia for things I listened to in my 20s that aren’t part of my current tastes. But I never put on whole albums or playlists of just bands and songs from then. I’m certain that most of the music I listen to now would have been liked by my teenage self though, just hadn’t explored and expanded my taste and knowledge as much.

And I feel people who only listen to stuff from their teens are kinda sad and I feel bad for them, they certainly have some trauma or other issues that make them stick to that and never want to explore both new music and themselves in what they might discover they like.

Europe also has more than twice the population of the US: 744,000,000

No, this is a spore walk, obviously.

I mostly listen to older music, 60s-90s, not for any reason other than that’s the time frame where I find more music that I like. Still lots of good stuff today too though! And that’s by far not a comprehensive list, just the ones I thought of right now.

Ooh, I gotta try that with distrobox. And I’ll try to remove then add the repo again as soon as I’m able, thank you!

My dad had one made from metal with a guy who had his legs stretched out instead of the bird wings and I think you can guess what was used as the balance point.

Only praise and admiration from very old people, for everyone else he’s basically just a goofy mascot that keeps doing weird things.

This is such a weird and dumb comment, in several ways. There are tons of European chocolate bars, many of which are more popular than Snickers. You seem to think European countries only have a few sweet things they sell? That’s just not true in any way and incredibly strange to think. And American brand snacks and candy are seen as cheap, because they are lower quality than most things available. I’d not be surprised if this was some odd troll attempt.

Yet Americans act like they’re 90% of the world and no one and nothing outside the US matters.

And for some (including me) that’s our only computer (other than phone). I just can’t afford anything, so all I have is a shitty laptop from 2010 that barely plays 1080p video. I deeply want something better, especially a steam deck, but doesn’t look like that’ll happen anytime soon (or ever). And then you see people have steam decks that just sit there, unused, gathering dust… fuck.

Are you 12 years old?

It’s the text from the article… How are you this dumb?

It’s not about cheap crap, it’s about the predatory nature of almost all apps shown and how well-known it is that they’re ethically bad.

These 4 videos have lived in my head since I first saw them back in the day, and I’m glad they do. I know you asked for one but I really can’t choose only one of these, and absolutely everyone needs to see all of them.

I recently cleaned out some boxes of random stuff I had in one of my wardrobes and found several discs like this, some with Ubuntu 5-8.04, random drivers and other fun stuff. Huge nostalgia trip going through them. I also found this CD my dad gave me when I was 20 and had just started smoking weed:

(the title is in Swedish and means “a chill disc”)

Sadly lost him in December last year, RIP dad. I normally don’t smoke anymore but I’m gonna get a small piece of hash and smoke it while playing this in memory of him.
