Sites I have an account or password with. OR ones I use frequently.

Do you really hate algorithms (since AI doesn't really exist yet) or do you hate the hype and marketing?

Firefox for trusted sites, Firefox Focus for everything else. Adblock by default and drops all cookies and history when you close the browser.

Firefox Focus for visiting random sites. Adblock built in drops all cookies on exit.

I have yet to see a pet friendly hotel with vinyl floors. It's always been wall to wall carpeting.

Personally I am all in favor of hard floors dogs or not. I stayed In hotel recently that mops the floors after every stay and that seems preferable to carpet and a vacuum.

But oddly enough, it was not pet friendly. The last two i stayed in with carpet were though.

I agree. But the last time I used ubuntu for a project recently I only tried to use built in functions, no modding. Never looks good when it throws errors trying to use built in features. Which always seems true with Ubuntu!

Costco meats always seem like the worst. I like costco, but I would never buy meat from them.

I only am throwing in my 2 cents because of the subject. They have had far too many recalls for my liking.

Ubuntu has never been remotely stable for me. Something stupid breaks or becomes difficult to get what I want out of it.

Been that way since it came out for me.

I find Arch much less hassle than Ubuntu ever was.

Just recently put Ubuntu on a machine for a work project. It was broken from the get go, throwing errors and being it's usual shitty self.

I could never recommend it.

Fedora on the other hand has been on a spare laptop for about 6 months and I gotta say they really have put some polish in. Updates are frequent but reasonable and most everything works well. Some small issues but they are not show stoppers and Fedora is aware of them.

I ran Sid for years, I knew what it was named for and that was cool.

Lately though I have been wondering if they are going to run out of characters? Maybe it's time to latch onto something else? I don't know..

I am tired of prices going up AND tips going up. It already was a percentage of a total, and now it's a higher percentage of a higher total?

I remember 10 percent tip. Was sort of annoyed at 15. At 20 percent with five times the bill it's gotten way out of hand.

And now my area is trying to normalize 25 percent, with 30 being "good service".

I am about to say fuck it and go back to 15. It's either that or never eating out again.

Admittedly a computer in everyone's hand is new. But corel paint, for example, was 12 years old in 2003. People were basically making memes and creating scenes that never existed on a whim and for the lulz back then.

And were much, much, better then these stupid examples!

Absolutely everyone can was about 20 years ago though.
