  • This is what it’s like for me too, especially now, like @tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone said in their comment, that movies seem to be longer now.

    I’ve got loads of movies at home or on streaming services that I want to watch, but because so many are over two hours long, and essentially have a ritual around them of getting your drinks and snacks together and doing nothing else, I don’t bother putting them on. I’ll sit there for hours and watch something short like Futurama though.

    I’ve even got to the stage where if an episode of something is longer than about 45 minutes, I struggle to decide to watch that too.










  • Yes, that’s what it does by default. The problem happens when you open a new tab to search for something, for example, and the update screen and restart distract you and you forget what you were going to search for. It’s like the feeling you get when you walk into a room and can’t remember why.


  • Mint, it just works.

    You can set up automatic updates too, so they won’t end up with out of date software and possible security holes. The only downside is Firefox. If an update runs while your grandparents are using Firefox, it will stop working and show them a page that says it needs to be restarted.

    It’s not a major issue in itself, but if you have any sort of memory issues, like I do and lots of older people do, it can derail your train of thought and cause you problems.
