Gorgeous.

I still struggle with running GUI programs as root and cutting & pasting between windows in Wayland. Those are the big things holding me back from switching completely.

My next phone is definitely going to be a Linux phone. I don't care if it's ready. I'm ready.

I grew up thinking it was normal for grown men to be attracted to little girls. My mother had a habit of pointing out random men who just happened to be around and telling me they were staring at me/thinking about how beautiful I was/in love with my/trying to look up my skirt. The way she talked about it made it seem like it was a common, acceptable thing.

I once visited the web site of an author whose series I was enjoying and was surprised by her angry insistence that selling used books is theft because the author doesn't get a cut. Never bought the rest of the series. It just felt weird.

I feel so sad for all those chickens.

I'm always surprised by how rare some achievements are that aren't so much difficult to do, but more a reflection of the decisions a person makes within a game.

How easy and fast it is to cook good food. My mom acted like making real mashed potatoes was sooo difficult.

I see multiple articles about Trump's corrupt and illegal actions every single day.

More identity verification. 🙄 For everything people use to protect their privacy.

Possessed doll display area.

Nice. Always good to see more handhelds that run Linux.

I knew someone who had kids using donated sperm. Her husband wasn't able to father kids because of a physical problem. I think she got to pick from a book of donors. She chose the same person for both of her pregnancies so her kids would be full siblings. I don't remember her having anything negative to say about it. It seems like a service that's useful for people in her situation.

Having more options is always good.

Good name.

Many of the old file-sharing networks are still around and actively in use. MuWire has a lot of interesting books and recordings. EMule is a good place to find music, including obscure remixes. Gnutella is mostly porn, including child porn that's so open I feel like it might be part of a law enforcement operation.

Retroshare seems like a p2p Facebook rather than a file-sharing network. I've always wanted to get into it, but I don't know anyone else using it.

I can't think of anything I miss. Windows is so primitive compared to Linux.

My mother was constantly telling me what my thoughts, feelings, and needs were when I was growing up. She never tried to get to know me. When I would explain my actual feelings or opinions, in detail, she'd accuse me of lying. I think she was actually just projecting everything she didn't like about herself, and sometimes her mother and sisters, onto me. Some of the qualities I supposedly had were mutually exclusive, or just didn't make sense when applied to the life stage I was in. She was telling me she hated how haughty and arrogant I was since I was 3 years old, at least. When I was a teen, out of nowhere, one day she started to tell me how sad it was that I was so insecure. I was like, I thought I was arrogant. How can I be arrogant and insecure at the same time? She said I'm arrogant because I'm insecure. But, she'd been characterizing me that way since I was a small child. What small child thinks or acts that way? Little kids are notoriously honest and straight-forward. What 3 year old has the emotional sophistication to behave arrogantly to cover up insecurity, and what does a 3 year old have to even be insecure about?

Last time I used CVS' pharmacy, it was for a 6 month prescription of anti-depressants. (A family member was suicidal at the time.) When I got home and opened the bag, it contained a 1-month supply of meds, and a note that that's all the insurance would cover. It was a cheap prescription, only $10-30 out of pocket for the correct amount. They didn't even ask me what I wanted to do. I never used their pharmacy again.

After decades of being a Google fanboy and using nothing but Chrome, my bf proudly told me he'd installed Brave after he got tired of his favorite websites being nothing but ads. I wouldn't use it personally for the reasons you mention, but I think it's a positive step for some people.
