haha I always heard of that being referred to as the “clit” :D But haven’t used one in 20 years or so, I don’t see them on modern laptops.

Curved screens look appealing (I imagine also good for gaming), but I don’t think I’d want to try them for work as a graphic designer. I need straight lines to look straight :)

and this is why I made sure to get a model without a camera D:

Sadly Ecosia is not good for more niche topics or foreign languages. After a few months of use, I went back to Google with &udm=14 😕

Edit: Though with Google now falsifying site titles I’ll have to look for an alternative… I wonder if they do the same towards the providers that rely on them, like DuckDuckGo?

I have the same experience and it drives me nuts - if I wanted English results, I’d search in English!

I think people usually use genAI to cut corners. Rather than learn the skill themselves (and develop the sense of what makes the result good/bad), they just go with the zero-effort option.

Yeah, tbh I’m fine working as a graphic designer on my single 24-inch screen, not sure what I’d put on another one.

Though I imagine it might be useful when gaming to put a guide or spreadsheet on a smaller, vertical screen.

As a graphic designer, I’d quit being a graphic designer if laptop+trackpad was my only option D:

Amazingly, there is this nifty thing called a “port” that allows a mouse to be plugged into a laptop. It is pretty incredible technology. /s

Yes, I meant that it’s even worse when there’s no mouse plugged in, but I guess my phrasing wasn’t clear :)

Being on your laptop outside is a miserable experience

ftfy

As a lifelong desktop PC user, laptops just feel claustrophobic 😅 Especially sucks without a mouse, fuck the trackpad.

What has worked nice for me is to listen to the AccuRadio channel of the genre I’m in the mood for, and rate the songs. Then later when I have the time, I look at my ratings history page and download the ones I rated high from youtube in mp3, so I can have my own local “radio stations” of the songs I enjoy. Then months later, when/if I got bored of them, I can go back to AccuRadio and see what new songs they added in the meantime.

Whatever you use to listen to music

Winamp gang! (sadly not supported)

But I don’t want my listening history publicly accessible (I was an avid Last.fm user in the '10s, but always kept my profile private), so I would skip this one anyway. Love MusicBrainz though.

Looks interesting! I can’t see it in their docs, can it display the font type and size of a selected text? I’ve been using PDF-XChange Viewer mostly for that feature. (Lol I just noticed it has been discontinued since 2018 😬)

Ew, no, bad Mozilla!

that’s when I grab my trusty Don’t Fuck With Paste extension

found it on wiki: White Wilderness (1958)

Tbh I wouldn’t mind this, I hate boss fights in games, I would definitely let the AI do those, and switch back to me for the stuff I enjoy :D

Edit: Though as another commenter said below, a skip button would achieve the same, no need for an LLM if that’s what they mean by “AI”.

Sorry, edited my original comment to say I live in Scotland specifically. But Wales is the same. The UK countries mostly differ in politics, our lifestyles are basically identical.

yes, it’s definitely the kind of humour that people either really love or really hate :D

I live in the UK, and in every flat or house I’ve lived here, from 1-bedroom to 3-bedroom ones, we had full-size fridges like the one linked higher up in this comment chain.

So maybe the tiny fridge is just your social circles, or tiny studio flats or somesuch?

(Edit: I specifically live in Scotland, but I can’t imagine a reason that people would have different fridge sizes in Wales.)
