A friend of a friend died from spilling a small amount of HF onto himself.

It’s only exhausting if you have to remember the lies. The media will never challenged him on them, though.

I had it for more than 5 years before abandoning it. I still got ads. I’d complain and YouTube would tell me it was a rare bug, or my browser, or the phase of the moon. They’d promise it’d never happen again and it still kept happening. I suspect it was a test to see what they could get away with.

Others in the comments have similar stories.

You occasionally still get ads, even with premium.

GenX. I used IRC back in the early 90s, but by the mid-90s I’d moved on. Probably to ICQ. I can’t recall.

Then, in the mid-noughties my millennial work colleagues were going crazy for Mirc. I was shocked to discover it was just IRC with a pretty face but all the same issues that caused me to leave it 10 years before.

And it’s still going. Although, no longer flavour of the month.

I agree. I looked at tailwind and couldn’t believe it was so popular. It defeats the entire purpose of CSS, and returns web dev back to the early 90s. Just stupid.

Except all those times where you learnt how to do something when you set it up years ago, and haven’t touched it since because it just bloody works. Then when you need to upgrade to a new machine you have to learn it all again.

Been using Linux for thirty years and it still happens.
