Their existence is a waste of time. If I wanted to but a Big Mac, I’ll go and fucking buy one. No ad is going to make me do that.

During the pandemic I was trying to buy a new car since I’d moved further away from my job and needed one for the first tune in years. So many car ads, but every dealership I called “oh, we won’t have stock for another 6-8 months”. Well then stop advertising your cars!

And just generally; I know products exist. I’m aware that I can but a product to clean windows. Seeing your ad isn’t making me go “wow, clean windows, there’s a thought!” For fucks sake.

Ads are one thing that really pisses me off.

Some furniture wax. And I still use it, I just bought two more tins.

No, but they do love grindcore as well.

Propagandhi?

Post-hardcore. Typically 90’s old school like Fugazi and Hot Water Music, and then especially 2010s style “the wave” Touché Amore and La Dispute.

Not the 2000s style that veered into emo and Metalcore territory. Although there were some fantastic bands around that time that experimented with the classic sound, like Thrice and At The Drive In, and an obviously earlier example of that being Refused.

The combination of hardcore punk with slow and mid tempo breaks, throw in spoken sections or poetry. If it’s done right it’s just beautiful and makes you feel everything.

But if it’s done wrong, it’s so bad, don’t even bother. Honestly, for me, there’s so many 2000s-era bands that are unlistenable, and to me don’t even fit the genre as far as what came before and after them. But everything changes and people experiment with different sounds.

And it’s such a flexible genre, you have bands that take post-hardcore sensibility and turn it into indie rock, like Manchester Orchestra.

I was going to mention camscanner, but it’s been years since I was in the android phone, so I wasn’t sure if it’s even still around.

Automatic updates are there with the right distro. Which highlights the need to look around for the right distro for the use case.

Example being Opensuse Aeon - automatic updates - doesn’t even tell you it’s happening, just pops up “your system was updated” out of nowhere

Automatic rollback - if an update broke something you would never know, at boot the system will pick the previous snapshot with no user intervention

As far as the user is concerned you just have a working system; that it is the entire goal of that distro

I didn’t know systemd-boot loader could boot snapshots. Do you know if there’s a guide to set this up?

I’m not using tumbleweed anymore for a few reasons, but my system does have snapper taking snapshots, and I’m using systemd-boot loader instead of grub. But I don’t know how to make those work together.

I don’t know, I’ve never looked for that function. Just that I’ve used Varia and it was not good.

I use gabut from flathub now, which again uses aria2 backend but does download things reliably.

I tried it for a while, but downloads kept stalling and I’d come back hours later to find a corrupt file.

I’ve used other download tools with aria2 as a backend and didn’t have any issues.

GYO Tokyo Fish Attack. Body horror is a great genre that doesn’t come around very often without looking kind of cheesy so it helps being animation.

The Fly is another great example of the genre. Such an excellent movie with a sad ending to top it off.

After I saw Signs the first time, I started carrying a steel mop handle around my apartment and next to my bed at night.

Aliens really get to me from when I watched X-files as a kid, and this movie did it nicely.

My daughter says, “Mum” I said, “I’m not mum” My daughter replied, “I meant dad”

I just cut a lizard in half with my mower. Couldn’t see it in the long grass 😢

No, turn my question will look stupid!

Shutting down porn sites? Is that a thing they wanted to achieve? Like free video sites like PH or production companies like Brazzers?

Yeah I was confused too. I clicked to see if people were talking about films, short form videos, or what. I didn’t expect games.

When you see someone write it on the back of their jacket and saying “it’s cool, we’re taking it back” whenever someone calls it out.

Sounds like bootlicker talk to me.

Only classics? Geez. OP, forget my recommendations.
