One of the first things I do while migrating user to a new PC (or just giving one for newly employed person) is that I disable all useless Microsoft shit automatically starting up in the task manager.

You can still use the classic version of Outlook, that comes with latest Office. It is literally called “Outlook (classic)” in the start menu.

Writing detailed and technical comments in English is easier that saying a simple English sentence in real life for me, lol.

I don’t know if that was a near death experienced, but one time I have nearly collapsed when commuting on a bus, after I drank 5 cups of coffee. My blood pressure went through the roof.

It also made me think some things in my life.

You are very dedicated.

I am Polish, so it’s not that hard for me :) But I’ve made a huge mistake of not learning where to put an accent (ударение) on each word, so my pronunciation might be way off for some words. Also I try way too hard to make sentences that make sense in Polish, but in Russian they might sound weird. Lack of practice, I guess. But I definitely see progress over time when I talk to native speakers (Ukrainian refugees mostly).

Why are they making it harder for me to learn Russian and Turkish :/

I have been to Czechia few times, the people there are definitely not dumb, lol.

To be honest I really think that an AI surprising human brain in many ways is a matter of time, but what people don’t tend to talk about is whether or not we are slowly approaching the limit what we can do with technology, because I already see tech progress slowing down in some areas.

I don’t know. I haven’t asked them. I have just seen the downvotes on my post(s) that were related to bashing Mozilla on Lemmy.

And yet people are still angry when I say that Mozilla is malicious.

Enshittified internet and software made me no longer obsessed with technology, and instead I focused on other hobbies. And it also made my socialize more.

Ok, that’s a good point then.

What fully functioning adult even uses their computer for 18 hours straight? Last time I used my computer for more than 12-14 hours was probably when I was a teenager. Pretty sure if I had used a computer for 12 hours straight right now, my head would hurt for the rest of the day, and the next one as well.

Can’t you just get a delivery to box-o-mat (or whatever the name of it is in english), or is it just a big delivery?

Not sure who that is, but great 👍

I once did double “parentheses” in speech when started doing streaming year ago, lol.

If you think that if you cannot count a minor version number from from fingers and toes, and it is meaningless anyway, why not drop the current versioning system entirely? It would be fine if it was (major version).(patch)

Well, I don’t know if we’ll be able to reverse brain aging anytime soon, but we at least know some ways of slowing it down, like by language learning or some other mental tasks.

I personally recommend at least giving a try for learning a new foreign language, it’s fascinating journey and even it might be hard at first it’s very satisfying in the end. And some people might say that it’s not worth it because of AI, but come on, you can still do it for fun, and bigger cultural understanding.

Well of course they are, after all they are slowly becoming one of these malicious companies it tried to fight with.
