Whenever I get to know brands like these I wonder how many $800+ clothes I have unknowingly seen on people that I just thought of “damn, that’s ugly.” and went on with my day.

This, tbh. You don’t get bullied for something, you get bullied because bullies want to bully.

Everyone here makes the joke only once. But you have many friends here!

You are not alone, I had the same experience after hours of Alyx. Shows how immersive that game is.

I was always wondering why so few people don’t complain about the interface. It’s abysmal. An absolute minimum of functionality in an unintuitive layout that’s always changing. What the absolute fuck. And all streaming services adopted it.

I feel you. I’ve had struggled with worrying a lot, too. Biggest insight for me was that worries are first of all just fantasies about the future. Start asking yourself more often: “what if everything goes well?” Instead of “what if everything goes wrong?”. Realize, in the realm of fantasies those two questions are equals. Your mom said that she thinks the engine sounded funny. And that’s it for all we know. Maybe she even just misheard. Also, start tackling real problems that may arise step by step. Stringing along worries before they have even arrived is of course paralyzing because fantasies are endless. You often will realize that all those “follow up” problems you fantasized about will never arise because you are very well capable of solving the real problems right away. Friends and family will love to help you if you ask.

Yeah the hardware I’m running can easily run cyberpunk and any other modern game with satisfying FPS. Yet, it has no 8th gen CPU so I’m not able to upgrade. If I would upgrade my CPU just for win 11 I would have to replace my mainboard and then my GPU would bottleneck which would be, well, sad, so I would feel like I need to upgrade it too … And well, we know where this leads. I’m just not in for this ride just for Windows 11. I already use Linux on a different drive and prepare to fully switch to Linux. It’s just for gaming that I still use Windows and I feel like Linux could really “profit” from Microsofts decision to ditch Windows 10 under this conditions.

Also related to streaming services: the horizontal scrolling layout the movies are displayed in is the absolute worst thing that has come to streaming services. It’s bad to search in, it is uncomfortable to scroll and it displays too little items.

PDFs can contain a vast amount of different Image information, but often a good software that can edit vector data opens PDFs for editing easily. It might convert not embedded Fonts in paths and rasterize some transparency effects though. So Inkscape might work.

You mean something like NEOM The Line in Saudi Arabia?

If there just was a way to micro pay for a single article. But no, it always has to be subscription based.
