@frameworkcomputer im not a power user but ive ported linux before… i just want emacs to write papers and preferably openbsd and something i can fix when i drop it/cat rips all the keys off/baby gets exploratory with playdoh. I have a (beloved) 51nb x2100 thinkpad… but the cpu is having power outages and i’m not sure i can fix that.
So if i cant repair it do i buy one of yours or a MVT reform?
I've been really annoyed at how badly the New York Times syncs crossword puzzles (I solve across an Android phone, iPhone, a laptop, and an iPad), but today was the first time it wiped out a half-solved puzzle by syncing in an almost unsolved version of that day's puzzle that I'd opened *after* on a different device. I even saw the words disappear as I opened it. Bah! (I recognize this is a minor problem in the scheme of things.)

Haaaaach, I'm torn back and forth. Is the OLED update of #steamdeck really worth at least 300€ (with subsidizing by selling the original one)? Guess I need a hands on try to decide... 😩
#firstworldproblems
I haven't bought anything (personal) for Black Friday. Well, technically the new dishwasher-range combo counts but that's a shared purchase. I want to buy something for Cyber Monday but have no inspiration (maybe I don't need anything). Tips? (Yes, I know about LEGO). #firstworldproblems
I've run out of things to do on my phone whilst I finish my lunch. #FirstWorldProblems
Ugh. Food hangover today. I always make the big meal for family or friends and this year we ended up being dessert heavy, though I made two birds...smoked and regular.
SO many leftovers, I was ashamed, but we sent everyone home with some and I have a few containers to drop off where they'll be welcomed.
My principal problem with these shortening winter days: No sooner have I opened all the curtains, it feels like I then go around closing them again like it was just wasted effort #FirstWorldProblems
So yesterday was fun: first I blew out my back doing the #recycling, next I get a flat tire on the #EV which, as it turns out uses an oddball-sized tire on the rear that’s really hard to get. So instead of the all-weather tires I was PLANNING to put on it, I had to order up a set of dedicated winters, which means come spring I’ll be in the market for ANOTHER set of four tires.
This saving the planet thing is becoming a real pain in the back… side.

... deren ANC unterirdisch ist und die sich gesamt, meinem Empfinden nach, deutlich zum Vorgänger verschlechtert haben, was Tragekomfort, Bedienung (am Gerät und in der App) und eben Abschottung zur Außenwelt angeht.
Aber das hat auch sein Gutes. Ich benutze meine alten weiter, die scheinbar noch sehr gut sind und warte mal, was die nächsten Pro Buds von #Samsung können, die nächsten Jahr kommen.
Sad day, my only TV with a SCART input has died. It's nigh on impossible to find anything that still supports RGB SCART. #RetroGaming #FirstWorldProblems Looks like I will be making more use of my OSSC when I decide on a new display for the #RetroComputer collection
Wohne in der zweitgrößten Stadt Deutschlands, und die Versorgung mit Lieferessen ist einfach ein Trauerspiel. Wieso können wir das in Deutschland nicht? Ich habe keine Lust auf die 36.

#Twitch pushed an updated Twitch app onto my #PS4Pro this morning when I started it up and it's an abomination
I can't imagine what the devs where thinking
It's like it assumes you're starting from zero and have no idea what Twitch is or how to use it
I did get it to show me my #Followed channels at startup
But when I select a #Channel I already follow it starts at the streamer profile screen with #UnFollow selected
Like, I'm going to start up a stream I follow and what I'm going to want to do is unfollow that streamer?
From there it takes a <down-right-right-right> to get #Chat open, and then a <left> to close chat and just watch the stream in full-screen
Wow...
Not sure how I’m supposed to work. She either wants directly on the laptop, or against my leg all warm making me want to drink hot tea as it is overcast and feels like Fall, and all that tea involves brewing, steeping, and inevitable bathroom breaks. Such a harsh life I lead.
The typo mojo is strong today. I’ve already managed to write ‘kinks and fools’ in a message today and its not even 10AM.

#ChronicPain has been so bad lately I've been pretty much stuck in bed all day again, with no explanation as to why it's flaring up, just ate like 90% of the days food in one big plate so now I've got a stomach ache, and the ONLY thing I can do all day is play video games to take my mind off the pain, yet I'm sick to death of playing these things.

I'm confused. Shouldn't there be a shift in color scheme in Google Maps by now? Saw reports about it weeks ago. Staged rollouts are bugging me like nothing else on the Android platform. #firstworldproblems
One of the few things I miss about the bird place (apart from some of the people!) is the ability to interact with a company's socials to get their customer service to actually *do* something.

Ordered an item on Amazon UK in preparation for my UK visit next month. Opted for free delivery on Tuesday. Arranged for somebody to be there to sign for it.
Received an email, it's been shipped and will arrive today, Sunday.
Why does anyone pay Amazon for next day delivery if this happens and they deliver the next day regardless?
#Weltcup-#Skifahrer beklagen sich über "untypisches Wetter" 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Solche, die das ganze Jahr um die ganze Welt fliegen, für Vorbereitung oder Rennsaison, dazwischen mal für den verdienten #Urlaub, und damit also auch überdurchschnittlich zur #Klimakrise / #Klimakatastrophe beitragen, jammern darüber, dass das #Wetterpech "das Leben nicht einfach macht". Das klingt angesichts von immer mehr #Klimaflüchtlingen wie eine richtige Frotzelei.

@DoubleTreble Yeah I am starting to feel better as we speak 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Such a typical shitty flu this, where you don't feel super sick all day per se, and at the same time you cannot make plans or do anything other then hang lazy on your couch. Bleh!
Ah well, #FirstWorldProblems 😉
Do you have anything nice planned for the day or the evening?
Ma se mi sveglio alle 6:30 e prendo un caffè e due fette biscottate prima di andare in palestra, poi quando torno e verso le 10:30 mangio quello che mangerei normalmente per colazione, conta ancora come colazione? #FirstWorldProblems #TheBreakfastConundrum
@BorrisInABox @BrailleScreen I don't have a single drive anywhere that has more than a TB free. #FirstWorldProblems I guess?
I wanted a drink and a bag of crisps. I had a $5 bill. The drink machine accepts $5 bills and returns change as dollar coins. The chips machine accepts $1 bills but does not accept $5 bills or dollar coins. 🤦♂️
Welp...
Since my water district is going to cut off my street's water around 9:00 am because of a burst water main (allegedly vintage 1950s) I think I'll make breakfast early and wash the dishes

@Extelec I've been struggling with this myself.
I have a couple of several year old UPC UPSes, but recently we had a power surge that blew right through one of them and created a short in our 65" TV.
I know it's #firstworldproblems that we had to get a new TV but it was frustrating, and now I'm trying to figure out whether a new UPS even makes sense or whether I should just get surge protection for that rack of electronics and save the UPS for my NAS and other hard disk bearing hardware.

I checked my pension fund this morning. It's lost about 13% of it's nominal value in the last 2 years, probably about double that if you take account of inflation.
Is that just me or has it generally been a dreadful couple of years for equity markets?

@fionaorkneynews doesn't help those of us who don't have legal homes, though. Although, at this moment, not having electricity, it wouldn't help me if it did.
TFW you sent someone an e-mail from your work PC asking them to come to see you this morning, and you are now at home, unable to access said e-mail and can’t remember what times you suggested. 🤦🏼♀️
I’m seriously considering buying a bunch of Bluetooth earphones and gifting them to anyone I see blaring a video or game or music in a quiet public place from their phone.
What do you think, shall we crowdfund it for the sanity of us all?
I ordered spice cake mix from Walmart. I thought I got pumpkin bread mix instead. I figured, that was fine. The Pumpkining is upon us. But no. It was pumpkin bars, which require far more effort thank spice cake and are thrice removed from where I wanted to be today with my baking. #FirstWorldProblems #ADHDtax
Well, we had a ludicrous #firstworldproblems morning here :)
Our only 4 year old TV failed. We have a replacement coming tomorrow but I feel for my wife, today was supposed to be her much needed day of rest and instead she ended up rooting around in our home theater physical plant as we troubleshot the failure.
I really do wish 'dumb' TVs were more readily available to consumers.
You know who I hate? Companies that make me manually fill in my email address to unsubscribe from their spammy shit. #firstworldproblems
Out for errands today. Weather: 17C & sunny, so sunglasses, no jacket. By the time I get out: 15, cloudy. Go to train stn, just missed it. Wait 5 mins, get onboard, not a mask to be seen. #FirstWorldProblems
In first world problem news. Thank god. Someone has invented a 3d printed cover for the ridiculously bright lights on my Ionic 5. I can now power my telescope using the VTL adapter with the car battery without any light pollution. Before this i just used black tape! #firstworldproblems
#firstWorldProblems, I know! 🤣
One downside of an automatic litter box is that when you do need to do a full clean, it's much trickier than a traditional litter box. There are many nooks and crannies for litter to get stuck for weeks/months.
It's still overall less work, but on the cleaning days every few months... phew!
I really want Bose to create a "Find My Headphones" app #firstworldproblems
I commenti che mi tolgono un po' di entusiasmo su Mastodon sono quelli che si lamentano perché con una nuova escalation di violenza in #Israele/#Palestina la loro timeline si riempie di notizie e opinioni su quel tema.
Davvero #FirstWorldProblems e privilegio dell'indifferenza al massimo livello.
Grazie al cielo la gente comune ragiona su quel che capita nel mondo, magari anche senza avere un master in relazioni internazionali e storia del Medio Oriente, e prova a capirci qualcosa, anche qui.
Uber drivers hate introverts.
I have tipped my entire life, I never did anything wrong on a trip, but I also didn’t initiate any unnecessary conversation (why would I?).
As a result, I have the lowest Uber rating I know of anyone.
I’ll stop tipping and see if that helps.
I want that blue Pixel, but don't want a large phone #firstworldproblems
Etsiskelin taas mieleistä välikausitakkia ja miten se voikin olla niin turhauttavaa.

I came into the newsfeed cafe for lunch, started my next reading, and am getting annoyed at the table of chatty women next to me. But I don’t want to get up and wander around looking for another desk. #firstWorldProblems #bpl https://www.newsfeedcafe.com/
Heads up. If you have iOS17 and AirPods, you cannot sing along if you have the setting "Conversation Awareness" turned on. This setting is super useful when you're in public as it lowers volume when you speak, so you don't have to pause your music if you suddenly jump into a conversation. However, it also lowers volume if you're alone and start singing along. Real buzz kill. lol #ios17 #firstworldproblems #airpods #apple #iphone
Short extension power cords (1'-3') are amazing. I've bought two ten packs over the years and was about to purchase a third but Etekcity no longer sells them. 😭
Typing "short power extension cord pack" into #Amazon returns 10,000+ results and I always feel a bit iffy about trusting new manufacturers...

The worst thing about returning to Shanghai after six weeks in the UK is the bread.
Just plain, basic, sliced bread.
It looks fine, it smells fine, but it is so, so, sweet compared to bread in the UK.
(Yes, I know it is more akin to US bread, but I don't like that either. :-) )
Today was: hiking, purchasing vegan cheese, more hiking, lunch, more hiking, playing games, reading, eating vegan burgers. I'm wondering if I should watch some The Wire tonight, play Baldurs Gate 3, or get out my Polyend Tracker and make some music #vacation #dilemma #firstworldproblems
@andycarolan Genuinely no idea. Been off since last Tuesday and didn’t notice it back then.
Complete #FirstWorldProblems but it’s absolutely killing me ☹️
@deirdresm After Beth's surgical disaster, she's almost always cold... and I'm almost always hot. I need a fan on me virtually 24/7. We keep the house at a normal 70, so she has plenty of blankets and sweaters, and I have a fan in every room I spend time in.
(It doesn't help the weird heating system means the kitchen/den are always sweltering, the living room/dining room are comfortable, and the bedrooms/office/bathroom is freezing. Adjusting vents throughout the rooms helps a little.)
#firstWorldProblems news: I test drove a nice van yesterday that someone else bought while I was doing so, and then today realised I'd left my glasses in it too.
Ugh. Some podcasts use ad injection tech at time of download. People want to sell *current* ads against their back-catalog of episodes. Fair enough, we all have bills to pay.
What is terrible and new to me is when that ad injection tech is failing, injecting 15 or 30 or 60 seconds of SILENCE into the episodes. Did my app break? Did my headset fail? Did my phone die? Ads I can skip, silence is jarring. I thought it was a one-off, but now it's happened to me 6 times this week? #FirstWorldProblems

I’m addicted to the security that having a steady income gives me, but I don’t think I’ll enjoy any of the jobs I’m currently being offered.
I can I suppress the anxiety of living off of my savings, or do I accept a job knowing that I’ll jump ship as soon as something better comes along?
apparently 90% of my life is now texting "stop" back to spam texts, then receiving the completely unnecessary "oh yay you have successfully done a thing" text in response. #firstworldproblems
Why can’t we have a 32” 5K monitor?
I loved my 27” 5K iMac Pro, but eventually wanted everything a bit larger for my aging eyes.
4K HiDPI at 27” seems alright for a secondary monitor, but I wish my primary monitor had the same 1440p HiDPI resolution, just at 32”.
It seems ridiculous the only options for 5K are 27” displays, and for anything larger you can only choose from 4K (my eyes!) or you jump straight to 6K/8K (my bank!).
@codinghorror I have 65" OLED on my wall and sit about eight feet away. I am disappointed when I can't see the pores on a person's face in a movie.
