I hate it. It used to be two taps to open a new tab.

Now it’s four taps:

• Open the menu

• Close the menu

• Open tabs

• [+]

My muscle memory ain’t going nowhere.

I started 28 years ago with Slackware 3.0, then Gentoo, Ubuntu, took a detour via OS X, then back to Ubuntu, now Arch.

OP didn’t say anything about their financial situation, so we can only speculate.

Maybe they’re a landlord. Maybe they have a hedge fund. Maybe they’ve made good financial decisions in the past and have a big buffer saved up. Maybe they just sold their yacht and have a lot of cash burning in their pocket.

OP never said anything about being light on money.

It’s actually easier when you don’t have to plan your travel around your work schedule.

My first experience was with two floppy images I found on “So much shareware! Vol.2”.

It was labeled Linux 0.99b, no distro. It was not of much use to me at the time.

A couple of years later I got my hands on Slackware 2.0 on CD. So much time spent compiling your own kernel, because no modules and the whole thing had to fit in main memory (640kB). So much time spent fiddling with xf86config hoping you wouldn’t fry your CRT.

Good times.

Then came gentoo, which had package management. No more did you have to browse sourceforge for endless dependencies to install something. No more did you have to re-install slackware on your root partition to update. So user-friendly in comparison.

We spent a lot of time on IRC.

MUDs kind of bridged the gap between IRC and games.

I remember spending a lot of time playing abuse, snes9x, quake + team fortress and quake2 + action quake.

The first week at any job is always exhausting. There’s a lot to take in, and a lot of active decision-making to do. It gets better fast when a lot of small things start going on autopilot.

Long commutes add to the suck.

Apparently it just affects certain batteries. Those affected can go boom.

I would not go back to the previous version.

Yes. That’s public agent.

I speak Swedish from Finland. Similar variation as Sweden’s Eurovision entry.

I haven’t done it on Android, but you get to do remote debugging through Safari on a Mac when you plug in a developer-enabled iPhone.

I’d expect Chrome and Firefox to do the same on Android in sone manner.

I enjoyed my time with our newborn, but it’s no vacation. I took 4.5 months of paternity leave in a row.

Sweden is pretty generous with parental leave. Me and the Mrs get 480 days to share between us. 390 of which are at some 80% of our salary. The other 90 days pay peanuts, but great to have when you need some time off to get started with preschool and stuff. You have 90 days earmarked for yourself that can’t be transferred to the other parent.

At 5 days a week those 480 days last two years.

Everything this man does is what a Russian asset would do to weaken the United States.

I’ve tried some of scopely’s games. They’re following this playbook to the letter.

You’ll be getting freebies when your friends spend cash. You’ll get time limited offers. You’ll be paying to “try again”, against other players.

Who wins when a wall street broker and an oil sheikh use their wallets to fight over a Pokémon gym? Scopely wins.

I just bought one last year.

It’s not retro. It’s in that sweet spot where it’s irrelevant enough to be dirt cheap.

We’ll need to wait another 10-20 years before the kids who grew up with the xbox360 have enough time and disposable income to buy and play all the games they loved in their youth.

We have a local meshtastic network set up for just this scenario. There’s not s lot of chatter, though.

Telegram used to have these local public chat rooms that anyone could see or join. The common topics were:

• Pokémon go
• Offers to sell sex
• Offers to sell drugs

But I guess Pokémon go is out if there’s no internets.

Sweden loves to have all their data publicly available. There are some sites that aggregate this, which is a bit of a legal grey area. Anywho, anyone can look me up and find that I own my house, what vehicles I have and that I have two dogs.

I’m hoping the authorities would look me up and do a welfare check on the dogs if both me and my SO were wiped out in a car crash or something.

We’ve had a way oversized bowl of water out since the Mrs was pregnant, just in case her health would have to take priority (also the neighbours were on standby to take care of the dogs). Plus extra bowls around the house. They shouldn’t go thirsty for at least a week.

Finland had to accept responsibility for being invaded by Russia. Also, they had to give away land mass that Russia failed to grab. Also, they had to give up some sovereignty. Also, they had to pay ginormous reparations and sign deals to buy army stuff from Russia.

Nice army stuff, though. I’ve been in a 1995 KRAZ with a wood frame for the driver. Also they don’t have a tap for draining motor oil, because who would expect them yo return from the frontlines?

Calluses build up fast if you keep at it.

The pain is just weakness leaving the body.

I’ve visited the US a couple of times for work.

I’ve been very careful with my wording when they’ve asked if I’m there to work.

Yes, I’m there for work. I’m employed in the EU, and I’m just there representing my employer at a fair or technical meeting. I’ll be gone in a few days.

My colleague didn’t have the same way with his words, but back then they’d just put you on the next plane back.
