I agree. BJJ brought me to a place of happiness that was amazing. I felt completely connected with my body.

Then I hurt my back three years ago doing weight lifting. I haven't been able to practice BJJ ever since, and I've been suffering with constant anxiety for the past three years. Every day since has been a struggle, with some really bad days, and some better ones.

As a long time user of PopOS it looks really cool!

After years of using Ubuntu Mono, I've switched to IBM Plex Mono six years ago and I just can't find a better one now. That one feels weird, especially the curly braces.

Played both, and they have their own quirks and irks. I agree Horizon's story is much more interesting, but the constant backseat and marked objectives are a bit of a turnoff for me. I've yet to finish it but I'm the kind of player who rarely finish the games they start.

Zelda, I just had to drop. The weapons breaking alone was just so annoying, and most of the shrines feel like a chore. I liked the exploration, but it felt like every game mechanic the game had to offer was here to get in the way of me progressing.

This happens to a lot of Youtube channels. Zack from JerryRigEverything did a video on the same topic a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iROF9Dd7FXA

I've replaced a Macbook Air with a ThinkPad T480, which I've upgraded with a 250 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM, and a bigger battery.

It's just the perfect laptop for me. The keyboard feels super nice (I don't like those arrow keys though), battery life is excellent, and the screen is sharp enough. Its only drawback are the speakers, but that doesn't bother me much tbh.

Amazing laptop, couldn't recommend it enough.

Are you sure? I've been looking at getting myself a sim racing rig made of aluminium extrusion and prices have skyrocketed in the past couple of years.

I'd love to get some links on those cheaper extrusion websites you're talking about.

Could it be just fatigue? Do you sleep well?

My wife got diagnosed at 42 with sleep apnea, with no prevalent cause (she's not overweight, does not smoke, etc). Turns out it's just her brain that sends the wrong signals to her breathing when she sleeps. It was life changing. She always felt tired and felt like she could not do her job properly. She got a CPAP machine and now she's feeling better than ever.

Seems interesting but I don't see the difference with another simple distro like PopOS

This made me want to watch Justice's DVNO music video so bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiDsLRQg_g4

If chess TO are that scared of cheaters, they should just take each player measurements and provide them with their own clothing/accessories.

> And we can not even directly compare a MP3 player to Spotify, which is paid to do an entirely different and way more complicated job, considering that you are able to browse and organize a completely different and incomparably larger (and automatically growing) set of media.

Spotify has two drawbacks though: you need a constant Internet connection and it removes tracks at will. The constant internet connection can be solved by downloading media to the device, but the fact that some tracks (even whole albums) can become unavailable suddenly is utterly disappointing. This is the reason I keep buying CDs. Spotify is an amazing tool to listen on the go but whenever I feel a real connection (no pun intended) with an artist's music, I have to buy their art in a physical format.

Yup, same here. As a web developer I'm always baffled when I have to make things work everywhere all the time but when it's Google they're like "oops, looks like you need to install another software to use our stuff".

Instantly clicked on the close button.

I'm in the same boat. On desktop it's pretty easy to work around ads thanks to uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock. But on an Android TV it's becoming unbearable. It's like Youtube has come to torture and extortion to get our money so we can get a little bit of peace of mind.

I'm in the same boat as you, as my whole family has been using a custom domain for 15 years.

What did you migrate your users to? Did you manage to transfer emails/calendars?

Not in the demoscene per se, but I used to be part of the music scene. I was the creator of Nashmeja, a tiny internet label that was into IDM[1].

I also created Traxer (later called Traxernews) which was a music release news website. It was my very first attempt at making a website, and it eventually led to me being a full time freelance developer.

I still plan on making music again some day, but between work, having a kid, and video games, I just don't take the time anymore.

I got the email two days ago, I'll be honest I'm super pissed.

Like many others I've offered my family an email address under my custom domain. They've tied their phone to it, and are now using it for Email, Drive and Photos.

This decision will force me to pay $300+ per year, which I cannot afford. I have to tell my family that they need to find another email/drive host, and transfer 15+ years of data over there. My mom and dad are 70, they'll never be able to do that.

I'm afraid for the photos especially. The last 15 years of our lives are stored on Google's servers. And they're offering absolutely no way out. There's no tool to migrate all this to a regular Gmail account. Basically we're fucked.

In France too, it's super common to find public bookcases in parks.

It took me years to switch from Ubuntu Mono[1] to IBM Plex Mono[2] but now I feel like I'm never gonna change fonts again. I gave Cascadia a try but it feels way too bold. On paper it looks like a really cool project but after I've installed it it felt like all my code was shouting at me (I mean even more than usual), it was disturbing.

I've been using Pop!_OS on a Lenovo Thinkpad T480 for a year now, coming from a Macbook Air, and I couldn't be happier.

The thinkpad cost me less than half the price of a Macbook, and I was able to change its keyboard (for a QWERTY one) and add 8 GB of RAM in less than an hour (and for less than $100).

Pop!_OS is amazing. It feels close enough to MacOS that the adaptation period was almost non existent, and it's been running flawlessly for more than a year now.

It looks like it's using a bitmap font, which always look odd compared to what we're using nowadays.

I wouldn't use the Internet without an AdBlocker nowadays. I even set up a PiHole on a Raspberry Pi at some point and it was super nice.

Whenever I need to consult something on my phone though, it's a real nightmare.

I hope some day publishers will understand that aggressive ads are killing the experience and drive users away. Hell, ever since they've implemented the purple screens on Twitch, I just don't go on the platform anymore.

I had the same issue last year when I was thinking about ditching MacOS in favor of Linux. I'm glad I chose PopOS. Elementary is beautiful but the release cycle and the app updates is way too slow for my taste.

I've been using PopOS as my main work OS (I'm a web developer) on a Thinkpad T480 for more than a year now and I'm super happy with it.

I used to carry a notebook with me everywhere. I used it to take notes when in meetings, draft ideas or follow eating/sleeping goals.

I liked the idea of writing with a pen and the feeling of paper under my fingers, but it had too many drawbacks: taking notes on paper is slow, you can't edit/format, etc...

Then, after spending months trying out various note taking apps, I switched to having a bunch of markdown files inside folders, and sync them using Github. I just use folders for clients/projects and follow a file name rule of `YYYY-MM-DD-topic.md` for my files, that's it.

This is MUCH more convenient. I can quickly scan/search for what I'm looking for, and I can use Markdown to add/edit lists, paragraphs, tasks, you name it. If I ever want to take a note, I open a terminal and enter "notes" and bam! VS Code opens with a special workspace I've designed for it (another themes, most of the extensions turned off), and whenever I need to sync my notes I simply hit Shift + Ctrl + B to automatically add/commit/push to Github.

If I ever need to access my notes on the web, I simply log into Github and the files are even beautifully rendered. And if I feel the need to consult the history, it's there.

I do that by sending myself messages in Telegram, it's quite handy!

Here is a great video essay on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIW5jBrrsS0

If you're on Windows, I quite like Splash![0], it's an app that automatically loads pictures from Unsplash depending on keywords you choose.

As someone who's using Linux but not that much at ease with this, it's nice sometimes to have a GUI.

I quickly glanced at theoldreader.com front page, and it looks nice. I tried setting up a new account and it immediately proposed to try out 14 days free "premium".

Not only do you have to click on a tiny link to discover what the premium brings, but there is no information on how much the premium plan costs. That's a really bad UX.

This looks really good. Kudos!
