First world problem:
The imported "spicy" ramen noodles are calibrated to the tastes of the originating country, and are therefore so hot that you have to eat them slowly, and they get cold before you can finish them.

It is #paradoxical that the higher the level of #climate #awareness, the higher the biological #footprint in terms of #emissions.
1) Climate awareness requires a certain level of #education.
2) The higher the level of education, the higher the income.
3) The higher the income, the higher the #consumption.
4) High consumption leads to high emissions.

I accidentally clicked on the wrong listing on #AliExpress, and now every third item it shows me is some random replacement part for cheap trumpets.

Encore un qui est dans ma pile à voir. Même à la retraite, je manque de temps #FirstWorldProblem
Dear every streaming service ever:
Please have a setting in your app/service to “never show ‘earlier on …’ segments and always skip intros”. I never ever want to see an intro, and I sure as hell NEVER EVER want to see a recap about a previous episode of a show, and timing reaching for the controller and pressing the skip button is annoying.
And yes, I know this is a #FirstWorldProblem if there ever was one. 😅
TLDR: If you're looking for an alternative for Nova Launcher on Android, Pear Launcher could be worth a shot.
So after hitting the update button before the morning coffee had struck home this morning, Nova Launcher greeted me with a GDPR cookie popup, asking me to accept hundreds (literally) of tracking cookies. Of course with no "reject all" option. I'd seen the news about Nova getting sold so the writing was on the wall, but getting such a central piece of software wrecked all of a sudden is some unpleasant shit nevertheless.
I just want to be able to decide what I put on the home screen of my goddamn own mobile phone and where. I want it on three adjacent "workspaces" to loosely group the most used apps by function. Calendar event list on the center one. This doesn't seem like asking for pink ponies - it all used to be trivially possible in stock Android over ten years ago. But then it started getting worse, and eventually Google made their search bar mandatory in the home screen.
I've been through 3-4 launchers since then, each time eventually enshittified and forcing me to start the agonizing and time-consuming search from scratch. There are MANY launchers on Google Play, and there are lots of them on F-Droid. And few of them let me organize the home just the way I want.
One of the first things I tried, Fossify Launcher beta, looked promising but the current versions have a bug that causes widgets to disappear into a black hole and there didn't seem to be any workarounds. I only need that one calendar widget, but it is essential - so no luck there. Need to revisit that in the future.
Since then, I've gone again through something like twenty different launchers today, each of them failing to do what I want. Some of it was subtle, but most of it was not. I even went back to trying SailfishOs for a bit, but you get much less control on the home view there. Was getting more than a little desperate, but fucking finally found something that lets me set it up the way I want and doesn't offend you with cookies and whatnot.
So in case there are other Nova launcher refugees looking for a new home: you might want to give Pear Launcher (from Google Play / Aurora store). It's not F/OSS so I'll be revisiting Fossify Launcher eventually, but Pear doesn't appear to be evil, collect data, it doesn't have network permissions, etc. I'll take my chances for now.
Edit: To clarify, this is not to say the multitude of alternative F/OSS launchers on F-Droid are bad. There are some pretty interesting and innovative looking things in there if you're shopping for that kind of thing, or a minimalist launcher. Me, I just wanted to preserve my old usage patterns - this is such mundane stuff, I don't want to spend energy learning new interesting ways to launch my apps. And yes, it's also very much a first world problem 😅

The problem with streaming (BT) when the device is elsewhere. I was wondering why it stopped being random. This was a "continuous mix".
#firstWorldProblem Sigh.
Yeah, I’m old and set in my ways, a creature of habit, whatever. There’s a particular brand and product of a breakfast cereal that I’ve eaten every day for at least the last 15+ years: Barbara’s Oat Crunch. I started getting it when I noticed it was the only one I could find that didn’t add high fructose corn syrup. It’s been discontinued. 🤬The bastards. Even Amazon said they only had 16 boxes left, and would only let me buy 5. Not looking for suggestions, tyvm.
Relatively insignificant in the wider scheme of things but I have now lost about 6 bottles of #homebrew #cider over the #heatwave
This one was a particularly violent explosion! Luckily they were contained in a crate with a heavy lid on top for just this reason

Made an appointment at a local barber I've never been to before. 245pm. I get there 5 mins early. Barber is finishing off a client but takes a walk in ahead of me. *sigh*
So frustrating that even though I won my court case against a dodgy car dealer they've been given 28 days to pay. I suspect they will wait until the very last minute to pay up so in the meantime I can't purchase a replacement vehicle. #FirstWorldProblem I know but grrrr.
@deviantollam Ditto Fructis shampoo and conditioner which are doubly inscrutable because one of them has to be upside down to read the label 🙄

When we booked our river cruise, only having five days between getting back from Germany and leaving for New Orleans for another cruise didn't seem so bad. I was wrong. Really wishing I had more time. #FirstWorldProblem for sure.
My wife just texted me to ask that I bring her more coffee. Apparently the presence of two of the crew is preventing her from moving. #cats#CatsOfMastodon #coffee #FirstWorldProblem #Sunday
#rant #firstworldproblems #firstworldproblem I have spent far too much time in the last week speed-skimming advertorials.
Why do marketeers think that other professions get excited when an article names their profession?
A functioning sales pitch describes how your product matches the needs of $blah specific audience, not says its name.
You wanna sell to a list of industry segments? Build a list of individualised pitches / landing pages. Webpages are cheap.
Audible keeps giving me fantasy titles when I search for sci-fi.
Here's the deal. I don't mind fantasy. I love me some Terry Pratchett ... and other writers who do sci-fi primarily and then go for the fantasy as a lark.
Heck, I even like litRPG titles, which fall sorta into the fantasy realm.
... but if I want sci-fi, give me sci-fi, please.
I know, totally a #firstworldproblem ... I get it. It is a smidge annoying.
Vor Jahren erzählte man (die Bundesregierung) mir ich solle in Aktien investieren. Weil nach der Haltezeit ist der Gewinn steuerfrei. Kaum hatte ich in Aktien investiert, wurde 2017 die Haltezeit abgeschafft und jeder Verkauf wird mit 25% Kapitalertragssteuer auf den Gewinn belegt. Auch für Belegschaftsaktien, für die beim Kauf gleich auch schon mal 42% Steuer abgeführt werden. Klar, ist ein #FirstWorldProblem. Aber bei grossen Erbschaften die Steuer einfach erlassen — das ist schon ungerecht.
Dag beginnen met stevig balen.
Wel een #FirstWorldProblem
Ik ga altijd met A op zeilvakantie. Die vakanties zijn inmiddels mega populair, dus A en ik ons snel ingeschreven.
Blijken we niet op dezelfde vakantie te zijn ingedeeld.
Maar even kijken of er wat aan te doen valt...
