Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's not the 90's anymore, it's 2024.

I'm not sure this is still the case, but I enjoyed Apple Music way more than I did Spotify. I discovered more related artists I liked and thought the UI was better, used more of the features etc. I only use Spotify now because I can share a family account and pay less because of that and I also don't have a Mac or iPhone anymore so the apps are kinda bad (at least were bad when I last tried them, several years ago).

Got a few of these but I'll share the one I thought was right as I read the title. Not sure it really fits, but it's a fun story:

Was in Lanzarote with my grandma, mom, and her then fiancé about 15 years ago, when I was around 20 years old. My grandma is pretty fun and likes to have a drink so we kept sneaking away to the closest bar to wherever we were.
One day we find this tiny bar with no other people and go in, sit down and each order a Margarita. After a few minutes we hear whispering and snickering from the bar and see that the two female bartenders are looking at us and sneakily gesturing towards us as they are whispering. They take a really long time to get the drinks made, to the point where we almost got up to ask about it but we're Swedish so it'll take a lot to make us actually do that.

When we finally got the drinks the girl that brought them winked at me and I had no idea how to interpret that at first. Then my grandma mentions how strong the drink is after a few small sips, I reply by saying that mine is basically virgin (without alcohol) and that's when we realize what's happening; The bartenders thought my grandma had found some "fresh meat" and was trying to get me drunk enough to have her way with me. I was visibly nerdy and inexperienced with alcohol back then so they tried to save me from the jaws of a Cougar.

We immediately came up with the plan to visibly switch drinks and for me to chug mine and then overplay how drunk I became. It worked better than we had hoped, the girl's eyes widened and their jaws dropped as I chugged and they kept looking over with wide eyes and their hand covering their mouths as I played more and more drunk and flirty.

After a while we couldn't stop our laughter anymore so we let it out and told the girls that she's my grandma. They made sighs of relief and started laughing too. When we ordered more drinks they told us they'd make them extra strong as an apology and for a well-executed show. I didn't have to play drunk after that, had my first really bad tequila hangover the day after.

This isn't not knowing, this is not understanding something obvious.

Most "free" things aren't free, you pay by them collecting your information and selling it. Anyone that automatically thinks something is bad because it isn't free is dumb as fuck.

I'd almost believe you were paid to hate on proton, but you'd get fired for how fucking dumb your arguments are.

You should name your ass Africa and count blow-drying as a blessing, mod the bidet to play the song every time it's used.

It isn't easy for many though, either or both because of mental or physical reasons. Your comment is a very classic case of "this thing is easy for me and works for me therefore it must be the same for everyone else".

My anxiety, which has kept me on long-term sick leave for 10+ years, basically shuts down my body and ability to act. The vast majority of the time I'm completely unable to leave my apartment and often even leave the exact spot I'm in. "Just do it" just isn't possible most of the time, and that isn't an excuse, laziness or unwillingness. And this is just my specific case, there are as many different and just as real cases as there are people that also find it hard to do whatever thing is hard for them. There is never a "just X" that's valid for everyone, and it's idiotic and offensive to think and say so.

I've managed to de-google completely and mostly de-microsoft, but I use cloud streaming (shadow) for gaming and anything else that's more than my shitty laptop can't handle and there's no way to use Linux on the cloud part. Only thing I can't do anything about yet, and doubt that'll change anytime soon or at all.

"Additional date"

Many are, yes. But for some like me who play via cloud streaming where at least Nvidia stops that function, it's a great thing. It's also nice to have it all in one place, most people already use Steams screenshot function so having this too is just nice. This has been a commonly requested feature for a long time, it's only weird that it has taken so long for it to exist.
