What&#39;s this new-ish trend[1] of old TV shows[2] posting clips to youtube? Are the right-holders trying to make ad money, sell DVDs, sell licenses to streaming services, or ... ? Like, how much money is really earned by uploading f-ing Knight Rider clips and why are my recommendations full of those... [1] ok, it&#39;s been going on for years, but only recently has invaded my recommendations [2] the right-holders. I am not talking about fan uploads

of course one could do the extra effort to get flicker-free un-/maximizing and un-/fullscreening in your window manager, just for firefox to randomly arbitrarily resize itself AFTER it signalled the un-/maximize or un-/fullscreen operation to be complete, basically actively working against your efforts...

tried to not post too many negative things here, and I shall return to that shortly, but with this I guess my interest in writing wayland software goes straight into the bin...

just realized: my little USB fan has written on its side &quot;natural wind&quot;. Like... no? Not at all? And that&#39;s the point? ??

so woodruff is my favourite ice cream flavour, but according to two of my friends from the states that&#39;s apparently an old people thing? eh, like half their sweets are mouth-wash-flavoured (mint) over there

I don&#39;t really like locking the screen on idle, that&#39;s more annoying than useful. But I would like to auto-lock when I leave my desk. Maybe some sort of proximity sensor to check whether the char is occupied?

I now posses one (1) white dress shirt. This is the most normal colour of dress shirt I own - I usually prefer more interesting colours or black and actively avoid typical dress shirt colours like powder blue because they look too conservative and boring. This is an experiment. I am allergic to looking non-alt, so I hope trying to wear the white shirt will force me to come up with more interesting ways to style a dress shirt. \end{fashion-blog}

Feeling the urge to: * Create a custom wayland client implementation * Improve my zig regex library * Write an in-browser rogue-like doom clone Will probably do none of that this year though 🤷♀️
