There’s one LED advertisement board in my area that I see pretty often. Nowdays I’d say it shows something it’s not supposed to more often than an advertisement.

Previously I’ve seen BSOD on it a couple of times, but recently a lot. Also “Finish setting up this device” and part of the desktop showing Windows 11 wallpaper.
My guess is someone upgraded it from Windows 10 to 11, and now it works even less.

Surprised?

Google mail is extremely unlikely to get shut down.

But anyway, Proton Mail allows importing e-mails from Google.

I don’t for quite a while anymore, but I did longer than most others. I had to stop because people were laughing at me at that point as I was basically the only one.

I simply felt more comfortable with it. It felt good to have a large portion of my face covered, people not seeing all of my face, most of my face expression. I didn’t have to worry if I got too carried away with my thoughts and imaginary conversations while walking in public so much that I started quietly whispering to myself, and of course moving my lips. Or doing something else weird like licking or biting my lips. Or inappropriately smiling against my will.

When I stopped wearing it, it basically felt like being naked in public. An awful feeling so bad I wished for another wave of the pandemic only so that masks would seem acceptable again.

Maybe I wasn’t the only one. Perhaps it’s such psychological thing for someone else.

iPhone 6: First foldable smartphone

Based on their other comment, I’d guess mid 30s.

You’re saying that as if 8 was a small number…

Nope.

Can confirm.

One when our instance is down.

The trend has been blamed on the high cost of raising and educating children, and the lack of affordable housing

Quite a memory from the childhood.

We were competing at who could smash into the wall with their bike at the highest speed. You know, just smashing into it with the front wheel, coming to a sudden stop.
Ouch.

At least secretly, but it’s considered socially unacceptable, unfortunately.

Finally someone else who sleeps hugging a pillow.

Never been high five rejected by a guy

And you also never met me (I am a guy too).
My response to unexpected fist bumps, high fives and handshakes is basically a silent “Huh?” before I figure out how to respond. Awkward 4 seconds. Oh, and I also likely forgot what I was thinking of and won’t have a peace of mind until I remember it to finish the thought, but that has nothing to do with actually doing a high-five or not.

Sup, targeted at women.

Like, how do you deal with menstruation when it’s expected soon.
I mean, do you wear a tampon/pad/cup/whatever else there is in advance, just in case or…
I guess it can’t be predicted to the minute.

I guess it qualifies as a weird question.

I am not a furry, but now I found one of your secrets.

Although if I’ll see it, I’ll rather not mention that I know it. :-)

Now I also wonder how many people recognize the Linux and Vim stickers on my water bottle 🤔

You’re referring to dumb home routers right?

Because for example OPNsense recommeds at least 8GB of RAM, though the bare minimum is 2GB.
And even purpose-built enterprise routers are certainly in similar ballpark. BGP will eat that.

I don’t think I’ve seen one of those dumb ones with nearly that much RAM. Usually they’re like 16MB/32MB. Guess I’ll have to check.

Same boat, I just use the Discord website on my phone. The account I created with designated e-mail address for this.
Unfortunately, e-mail notifications are kinda random. It can be like 1 day late before I receive notification that someone tagged me or whatever. They could just use regular mail at this point.

I grew up with access to social media. I got an Android 4.1 tablet when I was 8. Actually, I wish my parents had less strong opinions on it.

That’s because they went the other way around.
My dad wanted me to have a Facebook account, which I created, and then was upset at me when I deleted it when I was 12 because of the dumb hateful “jokes” floating around there.
Then later he again urged me to at least use Messenger, as if he didn’t have a plan with unlimited SMS and phone calls…

I am an adult now, but not much has changed. It only went from Facebook to TikTok.
