Does anyone else have issues loading articles on linuxiac? Every time I open a link to an article there CPU usage spikes like crazy, firefox bogs down, and gives me a wait or kill page dialog.

I feel you. I'm 6'4" and the biggest hurdle is pants and shirt length. Unless they have tall sizes all shirts become halter tops if I even slightly raise my arms.
Pants are a pain in the ass too because I need at least 34" length for them to not be capris on me. Most companies just make all their pants 32".
There is a reason 90% of my clothing has come from Eddie Bauer for the last 15 years. I'm not particularly brand loyal. They just make clothes that fit me, and most companies don't.
Agreed. Automotive repair is a big exception to my video tutorial hatred. It just makes more sense as it's something being worked on in 3 dimensions. It would probably work well for home improvement stuff as well.
I watch a ton of YouTube. I love it for entertainment and some news. I absolutely hate YouTube for tutorials or guides though. If I'm trying to figure out how to fix a computer issue, I just want to read about it and have screenshots I can look at. I don't want to have to constantly pause a damn video or scroll back and forth to find info.
As far as tiktok style videos go I just hate everything about them. I hate the auto play, I hate the vertical aspect ratio, I hate the stupid auto voiceovers, I hate the dumb floating captions and comments overlay, I hate the lack of volume adjustment or the ability to pause and rewind or seek. I hate the types of brainrot content that people make to work the algorithm. I hate that the format has infested YouTube and IG with no real way to be rid of it.
My problem with tiktok/reels/shorts is not that they aren't federated. It's the entire format/concept I hate.
Playing tennis.
In jr high I had some friends who played football say my other friends and I on the tennis team were gay for playing tennis.
I had to point out to them that the tennis team was co-ed and we regularly made out with our female teammates on the long bus rides to tournaments.
While those on the football team were constantly manhandling each other, showering together and slapping each other on the ass to say "good game." But the tennis team are the gay ones?
They got mad, but dropped it.
Oh yeah, I have noticed that the virtual desktop switching on windows 11 sucks. It's extra shitty if you set a different wallpaper for each one.
When teams is just doing chat things, it's fine. But the fact that it's the only program that doesn't remember which monitor it is supposed to be on, and never remembers the show on all desktop settings, drives me insane. Not to mention that it seems to restart itself multiple time per day and makes me fix its location each time.
MC Frontalot.
You nailed my experience. Though AIM was preferred. I begrudgingly used MSN too for a couple people who weren't allowed to install AIM.
I can't be the only person who instinctively trusts a product/brand less the more I see ads for it.
The biggest example is alcohol brands. It's almost guaranteed that the more advertising a brand does, the more middle-low quality is. (There will always be the ultra-cheap option with no marketing of course.)
It's mind boggling to me that in this modern interconnected era that this isn't obvious to everybody.
