That's what I'm saying for a long time after being in Japan a couple of times.

30 years ago, Japan was 20 years in the future, and they liked it so much, they never changed since.

Tell me OP is 14 years old without telling me OP is 14 years old.

Oh, now you want Europe's strong arm? Google? Now? Fuck off, you yankee!

EDIT: Also, we European literally don't care. Everyone is using Whatsapp or Telegram. There's no "Blue vs green bubble" war here in Europe, only America can get angry on such idiocy.

Well, it's a spectrum. I worked with a woman that was spending the whole time in our office laying on the floor during her period because how painful it was. But I'm also married with a woman that doesn't have any symptoms at all and when asked about she said the only annoyance was having tampons ready.

if the community we're in puts rtorrent in C tier because it's "UNIX only" then you and I have a different meaning of "power users".

I switched from rtorrent to Transmission. It's the only one with a ready-to-use web server so I can add and monitor my torrents remotely.

I would never run a torrent program on my main computer. Not that there's (more) risks, it just feels wrong to me.

I don't understand, is lemmy flooded by reddit kids now?

Comments here make it sound owning a house is free and doesn't cost money to not make it fall apart (houses tend to do so if left unmaintained).

I've rented for 20 years since I left my parents' house and finally bought my house last year, with great expenses and time waste. I'm still wondering today if renting was a better choice financially.

It is in China and Russia.

I remember saying it about 10 years ago:

You can see the culture shock in how progress works across different countries:

Japan, let's build a shockingly fast and quiet train! USA, here's an electric car that drives itself.

Man it sure sucks to be American in this time.

Poor girl. I remember the ASUS ROG video where lots of fans (me included) were screaming to Linus "hire her!" thinking about the fame and the dream job... Never chase your idols!

It's actually the opposite for me. I don't mind a fancy iphone, but that OS is so locked down I have to run the "same" apps on android to use them effectively for my work.
