Hey, don't be sexist. There's plenty of otherwise-tech-illiterate ditsy dudes in the same work pool.

My feed is aware of my politics and throws everyone I'm friends with or follow (and some who I've unfollowed) who wrote something objectively wrong or stupid that's biased the other way politically.

It's literally all rage bait unless I go in and manually block it from showing me those people at all.

Yes, I remember other Scala

Ah, you're completely right.

If that person had a kid it'd be your third cousin, but since that person is OP's parents' second cousin, they are OP's second cousin once removed.

For example, my great grandfather's sister's grandson was on the USS Thresher when it imploded. What would his relation be to me?

So your first common ancestors are your great great grandparents, so that's third cousin, and they're a generation older than you, so once removed. Third cousin once removed.

On that note, what do you call your grandparent's sibling, vs your great grandparent's sibling, and so on? Again, Google isn't being very helpful here.

Grandparents' siblings are you great aunts/great uncles, additional generations back you add more greats, so great grandparents' siblings are your great great aunt/uncle. After a while people say "twice great" etc

Yeah, it's an all-time classic no doubt

Fair enough. Personally I put all my media on my Jellyfin server, so kind of a similar situation here.

Gundam 0083 has even better tunes. The music and animation of that one slap so hard you almost don't notice the garbage plot lmao

Yeah, mpv is better on Linux. VLC is still my preference for DVDs on the computer though. Super easy.

While I appreciate the reference, most kids probably don't know about the whole Metallica Napster thing.

It's not true currently. Firefox and Chrome trade blows on which is more performance and which uses more/less RAM these days. It varies, but they're quite close.

FYI late 80s is a Millenial. Xennial is like 79-80. Millenials go from 81-96

 

It's based on episode 4 of Mobile Suit Gundam. I'm making a concept album that covers the key events of the show/movie trilogy. Volume I, covering the first third, is complete.
