I've started to go 15-20 minutes late. I've never missed a minute of movie, but I've skipped so many ads.

If I get one of those, I'm definitely killing it and stealing its copper. Amazon can pay for the repairs.

I think it is, yeah. It has a metro station relatively close by, which food delivery people often use to get around the city center. The streets around it are also very walkable, and you can go by bike. I don't think it is a problem for food delivery at all.

  • Rounded corners. Everywhere. They lose so much space, especially on small screens, and everything feels crammed.

  • No personalization anywhere. You used to be able to completely customize social media profiles, to the point of editing your page's CSS directly.

  • Modern OSes (except linux or BSD based ones which are not android) also have no color or personalization. You usually have the slabs of white on light mode, or the slabs of blak on dark mode, with only one color you can choose for some details.

  • JavaScript animations on every. Single. Website. I have an old phone (because I don't like modern stuff), and it struggles with almost every modern, animated site. Is it really necessary to add all that js and animations?

  • No headphone jacks or expandable storage on modern phones. It probably costs cents to add those features. I know phones don't usually have expandable storage because it makes you buy a new one once you fill all your storage, and I know they don't have audio jacks because it makes you buy the company's wireless headphones, but I need those features in my phone.

  • Why does everything have to be a web app now? Have people forgotten about actual softwate, that you own, that doesn't need internet to work, that uses almost no resources and is faster and has more features than a web app? We got everything backward. Sites that should be webs like reddit will ask you to download their apps, while microsoft will try to code Word in javascript and sell it to you as an "upgrade".

  • I hate subscriptions with passion, especially for software.

Where I live, if a kid jumps in front of your car, even if there is no crossing and you had no visibility, you still have the majority of the fault. The truth is you are the one driving a killing machine, and if you are going at a speed where you can't ensure, with your currect visibility and road conditions, that an accident won't happen, it's you who is at fault.

Of course that's different on highways and speedways, where the one crossing would be found at fault. But for all residential areas, drivers need to be careful about pedestrians crossing the road, and especially kids who are unpredictable.

If you quit normally and press ctrl + shift + T upon startup, the session is automatically restored.

Ctrl + shift + T is also useful to bring back tabs you accidentally closed. It brings them back in the order that you closed them (you can use the shortcut multiple times)

This is true, especially for games. But for some reason, even though some compatibility features have been removed from windows, others still remain. Hell, if you look into System32, you can still find the dialer app from windows 95 (still with its original icon, btw!), or Windows Vista's "bubbles" screensaver, and they still run.

Edit: this is not a windows praise, it's a critique. Those parts are dead weight, and windows isn't even that good at offering compatibility for old software

  • How is that good for climate change?

  • Nobody listens to this guy. Have you been recycling just cuz Gates told you to? Also these kinds of yachts pollute so much with a single trip that it outweighs any good that he could have done by convincing millions to save electricity or water.

  • I don't need to know him well. It's not rocket science.

What Gates is doing right now is a massive publicity stunt to make people believe he's actually a "good person". He is not. He is still a disgusting billionaire that contradicts everything he preaches.

  • He is constantly buying farmland, to the point where he's the biggest land owner in the whole US. This is seriously harming small farmers.

  • He preaches about climate change and using cardboard straws while in his massive ($650M!) mega yacht

  • The "humanitarian/healthcare" stuff he did, while helpful, was only done because he could use it as a tax writeoff. He wouldn't have done it if it wasn't the case.

You just proved my point. I said none of that.

Tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me you don't know what you're talking about.
