I mean, SL took off enough that it’s still here. A lot of F2P MMOs from around then aren’t really around anymore at all, I can only think of 2 others.

It may not be one of the big MMOs, but an estimated 600k MAU isn’t anything to sneeze at either.

Honestly mouse cursor customization is the one thing I miss from KDE, I love having goofy animations as my cursor

If only Waze weren’t owned by Google… I saw they had that function. Wonder if you can do that with OSMAnd…

… That makes me viscerally uncomfortable, and I’m going to be putting it into my daily vocabulary.

I mean, yeah, it’s your computer. Just login on the root account, nothing bad ever comes of that, not even once, nope.

I mean, in the US we didn’t even pay attention to the experts past the first, what, year of COVID? And that year we basically eradicated the seasonal flu, which killed ~26,000 people in the 19-20 flu season in the US.That was the last time we even considered that an expert could exist.

As for safety hysteria, I don’t even see masks in public anymore. Most of the time I go to a store I’m the only one wearing one, while people are dying, and being permanently disabled by COVID.

Digital dependence is something that was happening before COVID. I think the only bill I’ve paid using a check instead of paying online was my rent, and that’s because they charged extra to pay online. It definitely increased screen time for a lot of people, but the dependence isn’t set by individuals; it’s set by the fact that paying by check is becoming more difficult, and a lot of businesses are going online-only.

You is a second person pronoun, it’s used in place of a proper noun. A person’s name when talking to them, in this case

I remember when I was trying to learn German, one sentence the app gave got burned into my brain forever:

Der Tisch hat kein Geschlecht.

I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with the point of the table not having a gender; you just called him a man.

It was around the 1700s, right about when “you” became a singular pronoun

I did try this, and I can still tell. I sent someone a voice message, then told them to re-send it to me at a random time. Could still tell it was me.

I did, however, get around it while voice training? I’d spent a week speaking in a different voice to my usual, then when I recorded something in my usual voice it didn’t give the effect you usually get when listening to your own voice. I did get it when listening to a recording done with the trained voice, though.

Who needs ISOs in 2026?

It’s even simpler now: Plug in stick, reboot

Select the stick as the boot media

“archinstall”

Configure

Done.

I don’t recommend it to first timers, because the install process does get you a good feel of what you’ll be expected to know, but I’ve been running arch for years I’m not doing that manually anymore xD

I use org-roam (similar to Obsidian) to do that, the graph is neat for it! I only personally go to metamours, but I might pass an Obsidian vault around to see how deep that rabbit hole goes.
