Bring or get some large ear covering headphones. Wear them all the time regardless of if you are listening to anything. Ignore attempts to distract. Practice and say, “sorry, focused right now” and go back to work.

Pretty easily.

I live my life and care about the people around me. I ignore things I can’t affect.

The sky is not falling. The ground is right here and things are generally OK for most people.

Anyone that has tried the new version, does plex still make it really difficult to view your library by folder/file rather than by meta data?

I use jellyfin because I can get a folder view.

No. I would never go.

Cheating is betrayal and a breach of trust. If my wife cheated on me I would not only hate her but want to see her and interact with her as little as possible.

For me on this trip, I would constantly be reminded of the cheating. Seeing them together happy would make me miserable.

I know you have to think about your kid and taking him into account may make this decision harder but I would still strongly suggest not going.

Mute ads in live sports. Absolutely.

Avoid ads in all other formats.

lol. Imagine still using chrome.

I wouldn’t call the 2024 primaries fair. Biden was ordained, like Clinton.

There’s a reason these predetermined candidates keep losing.

The Democratic Party needs to run a candidate that is elected through a fair primary process. When this happens, dems win.

2008 - Obama was popular and won the primary 2012 - same 2016 - It was deemed Clinton’s turn, she was given every advantage, and lost 2020 - Biden won the primary as elected by the people, then won again 2024 - Harris was given the candidacy without having to primary, and lost

It is a simple trend.

Didn’t show up on my win11 pro desktop pc.

All ways, exactly.

The users and content on this site are far removed from reality.

Social media

Who care how someone else uses the bathroom.

Your questions.

1. no. That’s silly. If you are doing #2, you do both sitting.

2. yes, but decades of practice mean I can stand and pee in nearly any mental state

3. reasonably clean. I’ve good aim and we clean the floor regularly

4. to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women!

Software engineering work.

Mac for code and other work tasks

Windows for personal use during work

Linux for hosted applications and side projects.

That seems like some one off or a rural connection.

I work with a large remote team across the US. Most people on my team have gig internet, some get slower 100 meg internet. Mine is gig, I pay $60/mo and have no data cap.

You don’t like people fervently ignore it the article and just broken recording “install Linux” and “Linux is so much better than it used to be”?

Cool. I use Linux for something and windows for others and Mac for others!

No. I don’t pay for a service that has ads. That’s what I just said. If they add ads, I cancel.

But they haven’t added unskippable unavoidable ads yet.

When/if they do, that’ll tell a story.

While I agree it is absurd, it absolutely happens. See the Las Vegas convention workers union. I was told that one worker could not plug-in an extension cord that had been previously plugged in because it wasn’t his job. There were numerous other instances exactly like that, while working a convention center floor.

It does happen.

RIP Google Play Music. The best music service to ever exist.
