Sounds fancy, where are you where that's normal? We usually eat dinner after coming back from work, and maybe coffee and snacks in the evening around 8.30.

For dinner 6.30 seems very late to me imo

I keep hearing about Google being part of the downfall but I honestly never heard of Google Reader until long after it got closed down. How was this different than other RSS readers?

Feeds can be set up to just show part of the article so you'd still have to visit the site to read it all, which seems a better solution than losing the traffic completely. I've deleted many sites that just stopped their RSS at some point and I just kind of forgot about them.

Also, why can't sponsored texts be added to RSS? It seems to me this would be hard to block by adblockers (and I'll probably unsubscribe, but still).

I used to rely on news feeds through Firefox until they suddenly removed this feature. I switched to an RSS reader but around the same time, a lot of websites started dropping their RSS feeds. I'm out of the loop of why this happened and it's probably one reason I feel so bored being online nowadays

I'm not really familiar with Gnome

Maybe consider using a launcher for that, like albertlauncher (Linux) or ueli (Windows).

And you can set a keybind to switch to previous/next item so you could do something like ctrl+, ctrl+v

Why, am I being too controversial? I don't believe the only possible alternative to child labor is schooling and definitely not in the way it is done today.

Being imprisoned in school in name of education is already miserable though

I had a look and it so happens there are 2 properties for sale within a few hundred meters from me.

€ 200,000 for a one room apartment of 46 m²

€ 560,000 for a large apartment with balcony

The nearest house costs a bit over € 1.2 million.

I got lucky with a cheap apartment ~40m² for € 662/month (which is almost as much as minimum wage here btw). Renting till I die I guess 🤷
