I was at a social event for... damn, total of 7 hours. Most of the time just standing around, listening, and questing how I ended up there and what I am doing each time when facing a wall, talking to myself.

Of course, I was also staring at my phone a lot because, like, where else non-awkward do I lay my eyes. Plus it looks more busy I suppose.

Welp, a guy asked me what game I am playing (none), and I eventually ended up talking with someone for a bit.
Little did he know that I just coincidentally opened a blog post I found, titled "A Comprehensive Guide to Socializing in Group Settings"
Funny timing.
But yeah, it was basically split up across 2 rooms, with 4 primary groups in total, one of which could be further split into 2 sub-groups (2 different topics at once within primary, but still physically close and occasionally talking between each other.)

Anyway, there was also a white board and a marker, so the already present scribblings were joined by "join-lemmy.org" and later a not so good attempt at drawing a boykisser (but still quite recognizable).
Of course, no people there at the time.

Yeah, I know it's 6. Close enough.

I forgot to touch the grass though.

So I am on a dorm in further away city, with a roommate, unfortunately. (Yes, the title makes sense)

However, I am not quite good at the people stuff.
I don't quite feel comfortable being near people, or hell, even randomly accessible (i.e. doors without a lock). I kind of have a hard time even just doing anything. Basically, the only non-awkward feeling place I can look at is my laptop or phone screen, as usual in such spaces with people.

Hell, I've been here since 2nd Sept. and I haven't even figured out the canteen or laundry room (I've been home twice), so I just keep living on supermarket junk.
For the former, I don't know where to take the tray and cutlery, how to choose food, where to return plates + cutlery, in which order to do the first 2, and I didn't yet really get to observe people.
For the former, I had questions about payment (card only - no PIN pad), but they haven't answered my e-mail.

My roommate has left for a few minutes, so I got to stand up, walk around and listen to radio while thinking.
When he came back, I finally left in search of a more private place. Hell, at this point the alone time in elevator feels heavenly.

Library? Meh, there will be people.
How about a park? There probably won't be many people at 9PM. I checked the map, but the park-like thing turned out to be a cemetery. Well fuck it, that's a large chunk of land with trees (and there's benches).

So I tried to go there, and then found out it has opening hours...

I tried to search around for an alternative entry point, but didn't find one (the fence isn't climbing-friendly).
Yeah, yeah, but a green space in a city is a scarce resource.

The name now makes sense.

I wish I got this at first instead of the 1996 remastered edition (different track list as well).
I didn't realize that "Out of stock" on Amazon may not be 100% true, and there it was, the original 1984 release in Used category.

The 12" version of Smalltown Boy alone is better than the extra tracks in 1996 edition.
Plus it's not a remaster, which I like even if it doesn't sound all that much different, just because it's original. Same reason I prefer I'm a believer by The Monkees over the more popular Smash Mouth cover.

Anyway, made in West Germany xD

41 years old and still just as playable and high quality. Slightly more than twice my age.

Anyway, I wonder what specifically "relationship" refers to in this context because... Hungary??

The SWIPE plan of Slovak Telekom limited by age up to 28. Despite them having a web portal and shop, SWIPE can only be purchased and managed via a separate app for SWIPE.

Going through registration, it just loads a fucking website to do the registration.

But if that's not enough, it's Chrome-only it seems.

The support for SWIPE seems limited to an LLM chatbot that can do anything but being helpful

Furthermore, at school I got an ad for 3 months 50% off on this plan with ISIC, yet such an offer seems nowhere to be found on the internet, and I've been unable to find the code as directed.

This feels like a usual no-name brand scam, yet it's just part of Deutche Telekom group.

Not the first time. This one I am surprised I could hear since it appears quite high, but also it's mostly an awful feeling of pressure rather than just eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Found inside a certain shopping center.

Just tried that now. Nope. Awful sound. Certainly not.

I only have mobile data ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

All I could find is how to make a list, and reinstall flatpaks from that list, as well as backup app data, however all of that assumes I want to do updates.

Meanwhile what I want is akin to extracting APK of a stable version of some app, backing it up and using it for years to come. For example that's how I joined these 2 screenshots, using JointPics from 2014 which isn't even on Play Store anymore, and targets API so low that it has to be installed via ADB. (Yeah, I am too dumb for GIMP)

As for the regression, you can see. On left is older Flatpak, on right is version from Arch repo. The Flatpak I originally installed as a hotfix for update that broke it completely at one point on Arch.
You can see the older version nicely fits the screen, splitting up text into columns.
Meanwhile the new version just does smaller page in middle of screen that doesn't even work properly with Breeze Dark theme, causing different background for text sections.

The only improvement is ability to flip pages rather than use arrows, but that's minimum.
Well, and maybe the progress keeping got fixed, but I didn't test that much.

Don't pay attention to the taskbar. I wish it could flip to vertical with different screen orientation. Yeah, the icons' clickability is a dice roll of what you tap.
