This is in a lot of shows and not just sitcoms, but I hate contrived argumentative dialogue that’s set up so that the protagonist always gets the last word with “witty” responses/comebacks. It’s like watching a “I’m the attractive Chad and you are the ugly NPC” meme in real time.
Windows 3.1/DOS on “my” first computer, a hand-me-down from my uncle. It was probably more than half a decade old at that point as Windows 98 was out around then.
While not Linux, the first non-M$ OS I dabbled with was BeOS in the early 2000s. I think Be was already long out of business by then so there was no official support, but I liked it regardless because there was a shit ton of free software for it on the BeBits website. I used it more than Windows 98SE for everyday non-gaming stuff.
SuSE Linux 10 was the first Linux I installed, I think around 2005 or 2006.
I wouldn’t say “completely fucked”, but for a few years I noticed YouTube on Firefox has this occasional quirk where videos will quit playing and infinitely buffer at the exact same timestamp. Like there’s no way around it except skipping about 30 seconds ahead with the seek bar, or doing a Ctrl-F5 (hard refresh) and starting the whole video over. Opera GX doesn’t seem to have this problem at all.
But it’s still not a big enough deal to make me give up Firefox completely.
Every time a new apartment or condo development gets built here, there are people in the local community forums who rabble about “15 minute cities” and how they are trying to force us get rid of cars and control our travel. In spite of the fact these buildings are built with parking lots and garages that are as big as, if not bigger than the buildings themselves.
It’s like when chuds try to take credit for civil rights, or 5 day work weeks (Henry Ford willed the concept into existence, not years of direct action by the labor movement).
Lenin talked about how the ruling class will actively oppose a revolutionary figure, but once society at large accepts them, the ruling class will switch face and pretend like it always supported said figure.
“Punishable by fine” is just another way of saying “it’s legal if you can afford it.”
My city has a rail station right in front of the stadium and barely anyone uses it, not even during big games/events.
