One of the first things I do while migrating user to a new PC (or just giving one for newly employed person) is that I disable all useless Microsoft shit automatically starting up in the task manager.

You can still use the classic version of Outlook, that comes with latest Office. It is literally called “Outlook (classic)” in the start menu.

I like organization… but I hate routines.

I am Polish, so it’s not that hard for me :) But I’ve made a huge mistake of not learning where to put an accent (ударение) on each word, so my pronunciation might be way off for some words. Also I try way too hard to make sentences that make sense in Polish, but in Russian they might sound weird. Lack of practice, I guess. But I definitely see progress over time when I talk to native speakers (Ukrainian refugees mostly).

Why are they making it harder for me to learn Russian and Turkish :/

Yes, thanks captain obvious for telling me that.

Are you fucking kidding me. I already can’t see shit at the maximum brightness, when I am trying to use my phone under the sunlight.

I don’t understand ads. Do people actually use services and buy products because of a shitty advertisement?

Your Internet Banking Password should one special character (~!@#%^&*)

Great grammar on their part.

Aren’t most XML parsers faster than JSON parsers anyway?

Doesn’t installing Linux on a Mac make it more usable though? Especially when using older Mac, that isn’t supported anymore.

It definitely is better, but it sill has some stupid quirks that in some cases could probably be fixed by few lines of code, like not locking the screen when you are on the lyrics screen. It also is very slow to start-up in offline mode, which drives me nuts. But otherwise it is much better performant than Spotify and has better ways to listen to new music, instead of the dumb intelligent randomize feature on Spotify.

That’s interesting, here in Poland you pay ~$12 for the family plan.

I didn’t know it was that expensive in US. That sucks, man.

I can think only for one legitimate reason:

• Google bought out YouTube and operated it at loss for most of its life, effectively making it a monopoly in the process, and only started to earn money on it when there was no way any other alternative would come up and endanger it.

If you ignore this, YouTube Premium is a pretty good offer. And I personally like the fact that I support content creators, without the need of watching ads that are nothing more than cancer for society.

That said, I would still prefer YouTube to return to its roots and separate from Google, since it’s pretty much possible for it to stand on its own right now, I guess.

IPA [aɪ̯ pʰiː eɪ̯] as for International Phonetic Alphabet for the real win.

Not sure who that is, but great 👍

I once did double “parentheses” in speech when started doing streaming year ago, lol.

If you think that if you cannot count a minor version number from from fingers and toes, and it is meaningless anyway, why not drop the current versioning system entirely? It would be fine if it was (major version).(patch)

Exactly my point. But thanks for explaining it further.
