Yogscast.
It just gone downhill after Jaffa Factory Minecraft series.

It’s playing CK3 or watching my favorite show in Russian for me.
Drivers also tend to keep attention on the road a lot less in the movies.
That’s why everyone learning English should also learn basic IPA to be able to read phonetic transcription and pronounce words correctly.
Just knowing the symbols for all English vowels/consonants is fine, no need to study IPA more than that, unless you find it interesting, like me.
I recommend reading this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_phonology.
Just look up consonant and vowel charts here, you don’t need to study the details unless you really need to. Especially given that this article is full of linguistic jargon, and you probably won’t be able to understand any of this unless you have elementary knowledge of phonetics/phonology.
This meme is posted so often, some people may actually believe that Chrome uses a lot of RAM. And it uses about the same amount of RAM as Firefox.
I don’t think I’d be happy if all my savings were reduced to $15.
First OS: Windows ME (shudders)
First Linux distro: Some random one designed to run on Netbooks (Couldn’t get wireless to work if I remember correctly)
That’s why I only code as a hobby.
Frutiger Aero was best. Not only for beautiful design, but also there were standards people followed on making UI’s. Now everything goes. Last time I wanted to register on some shitty website it didn’t provide me any feedback that I wrote “weak” password (I copied it from KeePass), except literally green button that you could click like a madman and it didn’t do anything but went gray when password was “strong enough”.
I once played EU4 too much as I’ve continued to “play” it in sleep, and later wondered why didn’t it save.
What if every part of my body is replaced by computer part continously. At what point do I lose my consciousness?
I think this question is hard to answer because not everyone agrees what consciousness even is.
Depends on what do you mean by existence of aliens:
Some chemical/biological processes happen on other planets in the universe, that are necessary for life to exist. Or maybe there are “life” forms like viruses.
Life exists, but only in the simplest form, like single-cell organisms (e.g. bacteria).
Life exists, but only in the form of simple multi-cell organisms.
More advanced species exist, like fish or frogs on Earth, but nothing like Humans.
Other advanced species with their own civilizations exist (or existed and destroyed themselves), similar to ours, but again they might not look like humans at all.
Super advanced civilization of aliens exists, and they have tech we could only dream of.
Given that we know only one place where life naturally exists (Earth), it’s probably hard to tell which one is true. But I think that it’s sane to think that there are at least several other civilizations out there similar to ours, but given that our universe is relatively young, we might be the only one in our neighborhood (even on galaxy level) for now.
It’s also very important to note that extraterrestrial life might not resemble our life at all, and make us reconsider what even is life.
Mid-to-late 00’s had best UI design. Nowadays everything is less-functional and to do simple tasks you need to click through 5 different menus, and move your fingers in all directions, because there’s no standard to do anything.
Just to see my watch later playlist on YouTube on my phone I need to click 2 buttons, scroll down through playlist list and click on the conventionally placed watch later playlist on the bottom of the list. What the fuck?
I wonder what all these UI specialists even do. Just blindly do everything upper management tells them to do, even if that makes no sense?
Well, I sometimes input the same password 15-times in a row, and it works only on the last try. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Then educate yourself. See definitions 1 and 2 for noun and definition for interjection.
Why are you trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist? Linguistics don’t care about genders in biological sense.
Last time I used latest Ubuntu:
Default scaling on login screen and desktop sucked. If I had vision problems it would be unusable.
Settings application crashed after trying to open half of the menus.
Despite user interface looking like it’s made for tablets, the actual touch usability was horrible. I couldn’t even resize windows without being precise as fuck and there was no windows snapping despite it being a feature on Windows for more than a decade.
Couldn’t double click on Windows program to run it in Wine despite it being possible 10 years ago.
Reliance on snaps, even though installing software from 3rd party sources still being horrible.
I didn’t know that any distribution comes with git preinstalled.
I wouldn’t believe in anything WHO says.
No, but I do remember the cringe thing I did 9 months ago.
