I use the YouTube TV app. If I see ad breaks that are longer than ~20 seconds, I just back out and try again (if I'm just starting to watch a video) or go to history and resume (if in progress). YouTube can try to show another godawful long ad, but I'll just back out again and again until they stop being stupid. Protip: Number may go bigger, but I'm not changing *this* behaviour. I hope the advertisers demand *meticulous* statistics, and are asking YouTube why so many users balked after 1 second. Actually over the Easter holidays, my tablet was having *horrible* time with YouTube (the Android app is absolute garbage and doesn't like old devices, and by old I mean 5 years) and sometimes ads made the YouTube app go suck mud and the tablet needed to be rebooted (!!!) before it worked again. So I watched YouTube on my laptop instead. With uBlock. Silence. Beautiful silence.

I'm old enough to have eaten burgers out of styro boxes, and IMHO it's not one of the things I get nostalgic over. They held heat *a little bit* longer than cardboard/paper, but that's basically the only advantage. The places here that offer kebab/fries and sausage/grilled whatever to go still use larger styro trays here, and they're less convenient and sturdy than the styro burgerware was. I'm actually hoping someone comes up with an alternative.

Sorry, had to go reread SCP-1981 again for some inexplicable reason. What were we talking about again?

Large bottles are sold as “2 liter soda”…that’s it.

I’m from Finland. It never stops being weird when Americans talk about 2 liter sodas. First, it being in liters, and second, 2 liter sodas are huuuuge. (Large bottles are usually 1.5 liters here.)

Fun thing, I just booted up an old computer. Started right up. It had Ubuntu 11.10 on it. Now, I obviously didn't connect the thing to the Internet. Updates would have probably failed hard. Not because it's missing over a decade of updates so there might be some complications on that front, but because it's a Pentium III with Definitely Not Even a Gigabyte of memory. (Oh and a Nvidia GeForce 2 MX. I'm pretty sure that's not supported by... *any* driver any more.)

Reminds me of a joke (in dialectual Finnish so it doesn't translate perfectly) of "yhdistetty huli- ja pelikaani" ("a combination of a hooli- and a pelican").

I literally had to write a clock app on my own because Windows clock is pretty bad. I was thinking that they'll just replace the clock with Copilot eventually. Windows 11: "It's 11 pm sharp. I know that because I looked at the RTC." Windows 12: "It's 11 pm sharp. That's a phrase people like to say, apparently." ...Don't give Microsoft any ideas.

I have a *fucking awesome* gaming laptop. It has like 2 hours of battery life *tops.* (the very highly operative word being "tops") Just today I was anxious about pulling it out of my backpack due to the fact it's being spingtime and literally all of the winter walkway gravel is in the wind. I'm a Nikon fangirl and I very much hesitated to uncap my lens.

I kind of hate how we now have "content creators" who make "content" instead of, you know, *people* who make *videos and stuff*. Bland corporate language. Maybe we should tell snobbier sort of influencers in Dubai that if they want to produce the Content, they unfortunately have to eat the Food.

VS Code is probably the editor that’s easiest to exit. If I ran it on the computer I first ran Emacs on, it’d exit immediately, because VS Code requires a modern version of Windows and that computer had Windows 3.11. If I ran it on the first computer I ran Linux on, it’d also exit immediately because the machine would run out of memory. (…it was a 486DX, I don’t remember how much memory it had, but VS Code doesn’t run well if your memory is measured in megabytes)

Spent some time imaging a bunch of floppies from my late father last summer, and I noticed that on every single 3.5" floppy box, the keys were the same. The locks had same bitting. …also just noticed that the single 5.25" floppy box (of Commodore 64 floppies) I have at hand that even has a lock is currently unlocked. And the key is at my parents’ place. …have to check if the key is the same as the rest when I visit the next time.

Times New Roman is wayyyy too classy for Trump Administration. They should switch to Comic Sans MS. …Oh no, I’m re-heating font jokes that people older than me found funny decades ago. What has this present political climate reduced us to?

Physical copies of Half-Life 2 are probably, dunno, considered unholy artefacts or something. (The very first versions of Steam were not fondly remembered)
