Fleppensteyn

People in Poland are friendly and cities are surprisingly international and it looks very liveable (walkable + bike lanes). If you ignore the weather, Poland is better.

You mean that combination of something rotten and something metallic? I occasionally pick that up in crowds and the smell is atrocious but nobody else around seems to ever acknowledge it

I tried Wayland for a day but went back to x11 (using KDE Neon) because of annoyances. Mostly input-related issues:

– I used Fusuma to remap extra mouse buttons, which doesn’t work anymore

– Touchpad scrolling is buggy and pinch to zoom barely works

– Espanso has a Wayland version but doesn’t work most of the time

– select with shift+arrow and release shift: it also releases the arrow so you have to press it again (seems small but annoys me)

And there’s problems with windows opening on the wrong screen and then completely crashing when you try to move it (under Wine with full screen at least), and some apps with weird behaviors like drag and drop not working.

Filesharing is nothing like it was before. You can find stuff on YouTube etc that keeps recommending the same things but it just seems so tedious now. It’s not like back when we’d hear new things on the radio and you could download albums with that artist to discover similar music.

After all those years of collecting mp3s, I barely listen to any of it. I’m just kind of losing interest in music over time. If I’m out with my earbuds in, it’s rather listen to a podcast or something.

Maybe it’s because there’s so little good music nowadays and discovering new music isn’t as easy as it once was

Don’t forget Anna’s Archive. I found most comics I was looking for lately, also non-English.

I haven’t been able to find something better than Music Folder Player.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for Android apps to just respect my folder layout and not clump all files together.

Right now, Common Side Effects (season 2 should come out soon)

You would think so but it’s not my experience. You don’t get to be a nurse unless you truly despise people (here in Czechia at least)

No, people would just walk over

In elementary school, a teacher has the habit of punishing the entire class if something happened and he didn’t know who did it. So I got into trouble not knowing why.

Het was de enige dag in het jaar dat alle buren buiten kwamen en het wat gezellig was in de straat. Er waren altijd wel mensen die er flink in investeerden en wij hadden allemaal wel wat klein vuurwerk. Het lijkt me maar triest, een oud en nieuw zonder vuurwerk.

Yeah it’s mostly Indian recruiters. Just hear them out when they contact you. They actually need people. When I apply for vacancies, I got nothing. Never heard about payback schemes or anything.

I’m normally not very lucky. Maybe it helps to look like you’re not that interested?

In-person interviews are not a thing anymore since the pandemic, from what I’ve seen. LinkedIn is the place to go. Recruiters will schedule a call and they’ll usually remind you an email is on the way.

I don’t want to work. I want to take a year off. Yet, I got a job interview and I’m not even looking.

Boob looks like boobs (top view B, front view oo, side view b)

or for the selfish reason that it would make your socioeconomic situation more difficult?

No. My kid will grow up in a bad place and I won’t have time to spend with it. I don’t have a pet for the same reasons.

Population growth is not my main concern. If I have to live in a filthy city, work full-time and barely have money to support myself, I don’t see why I should consider having a child.

People that don’t want children usually think of the potential wellbeing of a future human. People that do want children, usually do so for selfish reasons. It makes sense people who think of environment or other people are more lefties.

Probably because being efficient and effective are not profitable. One requirement for my studies was being present. All those boring hours spent looking out of the window can be counted to study hours. That won’t work when you can work in your own pace at home.
