Yogscast.

It just gone downhill after Jaffa Factory Minecraft series.

It’s playing CK3 or watching my favorite show in Russian for me.

I live in Poland, and most people use Meta’s Messenger here, although some people use WhatsApp and some also Telegram (but mostly Ukrainians and Belarusians).

Personally I use regular old plain SMS, Messenger, Telegram or Discord depending on situation.

Drivers also tend to keep attention on the road a lot less in the movies.

Oh, cool. I might finally find contributors to my projects.

That’s why everyone learning English should also learn basic IPA to be able to read phonetic transcription and pronounce words correctly.

Just knowing the symbols for all English vowels/consonants is fine, no need to study IPA more than that, unless you find it interesting, like me.

I recommend reading this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_phonology.

Just look up consonant and vowel charts here, you don’t need to study the details unless you really need to. Especially given that this article is full of linguistic jargon, and you probably won’t be able to understand any of this unless you have elementary knowledge of phonetics/phonology.

Absolute Chad.

It still costs nearly as much as minimal wage in my country (OK, ~$200 USD less), I am not going to buy it anytime soon.

This meme is posted so often, some people may actually believe that Chrome uses a lot of RAM. And it uses about the same amount of RAM as Firefox.

Isn’t Apple one of these companies that actually does not sell user’s data?

To be honest as an Android user, if Apple makes their phone less locked down and give more affordable choices for phones I may try an iPhone, as I am a bit fed up with Android, and there are no other real alternatives.

The fuck are Copilot+ PC’s? Are they regular PC’s with Copilot+ branding?

I don’t think I’d be happy if all my savings were reduced to $15.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was illegal in EU.

I always wonder how it’s even possible. I can’t do half shit that I do on my computer on my phone. And even if I can, I need to spend like 3x-4x more time because how inefficient touch screen is.

First OS: Windows ME (shudders)

First Linux distro: Some random one designed to run on Netbooks (Couldn’t get wireless to work if I remember correctly)

Frutiger Aero was best. Not only for beautiful design, but also there were standards people followed on making UI’s. Now everything goes. Last time I wanted to register on some shitty website it didn’t provide me any feedback that I wrote “weak” password (I copied it from KeePass), except literally green button that you could click like a madman and it didn’t do anything but went gray when password was “strong enough”.

My three biggest problems with YouTube are:

• It sucks on desktops/laptops with bigger UI scaling enabled, some stuff just doesn’t fit.

• The search function on YouTube is useless and completely broken. Instead of searching normally it:

  1. Repeats same results multiple times;

  2. Display unrelated Shorts nobody asked for;

  3. Instead of displaying relevant results it shows stuff you have already watched or picked by YouTube algorithm.

• You can’t skip sponsored segments with YouTube Premium. You need SponsorBlock browser extension for that.

Depends on what do you mean by existence of aliens:

0. Some chemical/biological processes happen on other planets in the universe, that are necessary for life to exist. Or maybe there are “life” forms like viruses.

1. Life exists, but only in the simplest form, like single-cell organisms (e.g. bacteria).

2. Life exists, but only in the form of simple multi-cell organisms.

3. More advanced species exist, like fish or frogs on Earth, but nothing like Humans.

4. Other advanced species with their own civilizations exist (or existed and destroyed themselves), similar to ours, but again they might not look like humans at all.

5. Super advanced civilization of aliens exists, and they have tech we could only dream of.

Given that we know only one place where life naturally exists (Earth), it’s probably hard to tell which one is true. But I think that it’s sane to think that there are at least several other civilizations out there similar to ours, but given that our universe is relatively young, we might be the only one in our neighborhood (even on galaxy level) for now.

It’s also very important to note that extraterrestrial life might not resemble our life at all, and make us reconsider what even is life.

Mid-to-late 00’s had best UI design. Nowadays everything is less-functional and to do simple tasks you need to click through 5 different menus, and move your fingers in all directions, because there’s no standard to do anything.

Just to see my watch later playlist on YouTube on my phone I need to click 2 buttons, scroll down through playlist list and click on the conventionally placed watch later playlist on the bottom of the list. What the fuck?

I wonder what all these UI specialists even do. Just blindly do everything upper management tells them to do, even if that makes no sense?
