People in Poland are friendly and cities are surprisingly international and it looks very liveable (walkable + bike lanes). If you ignore the weather, Poland is better.

You mean that combination of something rotten and something metallic? I occasionally pick that up in crowds and the smell is atrocious but nobody else around seems to ever acknowledge it

I tried Wayland for a day but went back to x11 (using KDE Neon) because of annoyances. Mostly input-related issues:

– I used Fusuma to remap extra mouse buttons, which doesn't work anymore

– Touchpad scrolling is buggy and pinch to zoom barely works

– Espanso has a Wayland version but doesn't work most of the time

– select with shift+arrow and release shift: it also releases the arrow so you have to press it again (seems small but annoys me)

And there's problems with windows opening on the wrong screen and then completely crashing when you try to move it (under Wine with full screen at least), and some apps with weird behaviors like drag and drop not working.

Filesharing is nothing like it was before. You can find stuff on YouTube etc that keeps recommending the same things but it just seems so tedious now. It's not like back when we'd hear new things on the radio and you could download albums with that artist to discover similar music.

After all those years of collecting mp3s, I barely listen to any of it. I'm just kind of losing interest in music over time. If I'm out with my earbuds in, it's rather listen to a podcast or something.

Maybe it's because there's so little good music nowadays and discovering new music isn't as easy as it once was

Don't forget Anna's Archive. I found most comics I was looking for lately, also non-English.

I haven't been able to find something better than Music Folder Player.

I don't know why it's so hard for Android apps to just respect my folder layout and not clump all files together.

Right now, Common Side Effects (season 2 should come out soon)

Got one once as a kid but I don't think it was very common (Netherlands)

You would think so but it's not my experience. You don't get to be a nurse unless you truly despise people (here in Czechia at least)

On Prague-Budapest I got a berth but it was too short to lie on, and there was an annoying piece of metal at the end of it. They also simply parked the train for 4 hours, right under some very bright lights

Tried it once and it was horribly uncomfortable

To get more people to read or to sell more books? All the people I know that like to read, read digital and say they don't want to go back to paper

No, people would just walk over

I'm pretty sure I've heard people in the Balkans (Bosnia at least) calling it nafta

It hangs in the way when you pour from the bottle and closing the lid is much harder

Lidl is better at discontinuing products I went there specifically to buy and Aldi is better in not existing in this country
