One of the first things I do while migrating user to a new PC (or just giving one for newly employed person) is that I disable all useless Microsoft shit automatically starting up in the task manager.

You can still use the classic version of Outlook, that comes with latest Office. It is literally called “Outlook (classic)” in the start menu.

You are very dedicated.

I am Polish, so it’s not that hard for me :) But I’ve made a huge mistake of not learning where to put an accent (ударение) on each word, so my pronunciation might be way off for some words. Also I try way too hard to make sentences that make sense in Polish, but in Russian they might sound weird. Lack of practice, I guess. But I definitely see progress over time when I talk to native speakers (Ukrainian refugees mostly).

Why are they making it harder for me to learn Russian and Turkish :/

There’s an online version of VS Code: vscode.dev (not sure if that’s official, though)

Edit: Oh, well… it cannot open and edit local files, making it useless at least for me.

To be honest I really think that an AI surprising human brain in many ways is a matter of time, but what people don’t tend to talk about is whether or not we are slowly approaching the limit what we can do with technology, because I already see tech progress slowing down in some areas.

If you’re using only Electron-based apps, why not use browser tabs for these?

8 GB is fine for basic tasks and it won’t change anytime soon.

I really love how various services nowadays will just ban you without providing any context why you were banned.

Probably half of the time I am banned I have no idea which rule I violated, which makes me more likely to violate it again, when I wait till I am unbanned or create another account.

I randomly get locks ups when I am watching YouTube while using touchscreen, but otherwise it’s fine.

I am using openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland and I have Intel GPU.

Enshittified internet and software made me no longer obsessed with technology, and instead I focused on other hobbies. And it also made my socialize more.

I don’t understand ads. Do people actually use services and buy products because of a shitty advertisement?

Do you really believe that this is a real data?

Your Internet Banking Password should one special character (~!@#%^&*)

Great grammar on their part.

It definitely is better, but it sill has some stupid quirks that in some cases could probably be fixed by few lines of code, like not locking the screen when you are on the lyrics screen. It also is very slow to start-up in offline mode, which drives me nuts. But otherwise it is much better performant than Spotify and has better ways to listen to new music, instead of the dumb intelligent randomize feature on Spotify.

That’s interesting, here in Poland you pay ~$12 for the family plan.

I didn’t know it was that expensive in US. That sucks, man.

I can think only for one legitimate reason:

• Google bought out YouTube and operated it at loss for most of its life, effectively making it a monopoly in the process, and only started to earn money on it when there was no way any other alternative would come up and endanger it.

If you ignore this, YouTube Premium is a pretty good offer. And I personally like the fact that I support content creators, without the need of watching ads that are nothing more than cancer for society.

That said, I would still prefer YouTube to return to its roots and separate from Google, since it’s pretty much possible for it to stand on its own right now, I guess.

Ok, that’s a good point then.
