Wow, I had no idea Acrobat Reader still exists. They charge €15,72 per month now apparently.

Sure, but isn’t the principle more important to Americans that your tax money should not be used to help others? Paying a premium to privatized health care doesn’t matter too much, they’re already rich. Having immigrants, homeless, sick people etc be beneficiaries would be “unfair”.
Where would you come across a bull though? I’ve never seen one in a field with cows.
Having worked in a call centers, I feel like it’s the dumbest, most self centered boomers with “customer is king” attitude that just want to shout at someone rather than fix their issues (that can usually be fixed with a Google search). It’s like they need people to suffer. Just let them hang up when people are disrespectful instead of this shit.
The languages I’m most familiar with are quite closely related to English, so I don’t think that’s really the case.
Actually, one thing I can think of is that English trends to aspirate initial stops, which probably makes those clusters harder to pronounce
What’s strange is that many other languages don’t allow words starting with pt- or ps- neither but have no trouble pronouncing Greek loan words that do.
The Dutch timezone was actually UTC + 20 minutes until WW2.
I usually find songs I like and explore in / download from the folder it’s in
Reminds me of when I joined some classmates to the supermarket. We got kicked out while waiting in line because they didn’t want middleschoolers there because we’re all thieves anyways. So most of the group walked out without paying.
There are no pronouns in symbols ♂, ♀
It was interesting how random people came to talk to you and were really trying to get to know you. I don’t think that would work in modern day internet.
I knew they were around because at times I randomly remembered my ICQ number and I tried logging in, but they won’t let you if you forgot your password.
I don’t include the rider. More confusing are stairs and crosswalks: where do they start and end? Often, there is no crosswalk on the picture but you have to select other road markings to continue. So it doesn’t really matter.
Everyone just copied everything from each other. Floppy, then Twilight CDs. Then came the internet and exploring music there was better than sitting around waiting for a song to come on the radio to quickly press record. It was normal when I was young to share, not really an active choice.
Well, they’re not wrong. If I had known I’d be in the same place after 10 years, I would’ve made myself more comfortable.
The article discusses scam calls, not spam calls.
I got that fake Microsoft support scam call only once, back in early 2000s, on my parent’s land line.
Depends on the country. I once got some people in trouble when I passed through Germany because I didn’t know internet is heavily censored/surveilled there. Haven’t had trouble anywhere else though. Do some research on your country.
The biggest threats come from the movie industry. Just use streaming sites for movies and series, torrent the other stuff.
Look into Tribler, I2P and Utopia.
Out of the ones I’ve tried (Jerboa, Connect, Thunder), I think Thunder is best (after a little config) : https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/releases
I must be out of touch.
I didn’t think I’d need an app to visit YouTube.
I vaguely remember (but can’t find it right now) that the PDF format became open source at some point and free alternatives came out for PDF editing. And that was already back in the 2000s when people still printed documents (which is what PDF was originally meant for).
In modern times, every browser/OS can read PDF, every text editor can export to PDF, nobody prints physical documents and there are free alternatives – so why do they still exist and who is paying?
