Tried that but I forget the planner exists and inevitably lose it so I stick to cloud-based apps now. ToDoist is my go to for personal checklists and planning now

Yeah i'm the world's worst listener and I absolutely hate it so I'm always trying to find ways to fix it. I can watch entire season runs without knowing what happened. I've been known to go to the cinema and leave without having paid attention to a single thing. I've listened to literally hundreds of podcasts but don't bother any more because there's just no point. Five minutes at best and my mind goes elsewhere.
Ironically if there's something else I'm trying to focus on and there is a TV or something happening in my peripheral I often can't tune it out.. lol
OK I'm sold - I hear a lot of good things about OneNote but I struggled to understand the appeal on first glance. If it is good enough that you can find notes that far back then that could work well for me.
Btw Planner is great if you haven't used it. It's designed as a collaborative tool but I use it mostly as a way of keeping track of where I am with various tasks. I put it in my startup folder so it comes up as soon as I log on. I'll make checklists and basically talk to myself via card comments. Comments are timestamped and are forwarded to outlook so it's a better way of logging things than my usual method of digging through old Outlook messages. It has a couple of shortfalls but its really keeping me sane at the moment
What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?
I went back to Windows a few years ago because I needed audio production software but would go back to vanilla Debian in a heartbeat if I needed a PC for anything else.
I switched to I3WM later on with my Debian PC and that was godlike too
Not dead but definitely on life support. I really do miss old forums. Reddit / Discord / Fediverse don't come close to the old community feel. Facebook groups aren't so bad sometimes for that but then the content is organised terribly. Say what you will about forum search engines but I could always rely on being able to enter a keyword or two and get what I was looking for.
A lot of forums I frequented were actually pretty well organised with subforums. It just isn't the same these days.
Also web forums were the absolute best for petty drama. I do miss that in a weird way. Always that one angry gatekeeper flaming everyone.
The way I look at it is that I'm more happy that we've progressed since than I'm upset about what people were laughing at back then. Regardless of who was on the receiving end the comedy was good and I will enjoy it without guilt. That being said if somebody made those jokes today it would be a different story
Oh yeah I watched a ton of 70s sitcoms a few years back. Mostly Norman Lear and MTM productions. Stuff like All In The Family, Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, Mary Tyler Moore and its spin-offs. Watch a ton of Happy Days in anticipation of watching one or two of the 80s spinoffs, but never managed to finish it and lost my appetite for any more of that. Lol.
I never finished MASH just because its one of those shows you have to be in the mood for. but I enjoyed it and finished the first couple seasons. I need to finish it sometime.
The laugh track thing is weird - after watching so many 70s and 80s sitcoms I tune it out. I think its not so bad when the jokes are actually good and its a live audience, but some of those early 2000s shows were so obnoxious with it.
Interestingly I think they released some MASH episodes without the laugh track. You should look hat up if you go for a rewatch
Definitely need to watch a bit of Macgyver! I want to check out Miami Vice again sometime but my partner hated it. I do love the style and the music though.
I'm looking forward to MST3K for sure. Who's The Boss got lost in the shuffle somehow. Looking back there was a lot of debuts in 1984 and I couldn't watch everything. Definitely one I need to revisit though
I did watch a few movies this years too but haven't been in the mood a lot of the time. I'd already seen a lot of the 'good' movies from 88 so went for the lighter side a lot of the time.
Crocodile Dundee 2 Short Circuit 2 18 Again! Willow Funny Farm Hot To Trot Vibes
Of those Funny Farm was the one I enjoyed most. Short Circuit 2 is good Sunday afternoon fun if you can get past the horrific indian stereotype. Hot To Trot is straight up weird and Vibes was a struggle to watch. The others were fine.
I never watched Akira. I am a bit of a hard sell on anime sometimes but I always hear good things about it. I'll put it on the list
I powered through those old KTMA episodes years ago. I will probably try and watch them again but I know exactly what you mean. I still love Joel though and I like the way he comes across in the early episodes, and the skits were good if I remember correctly. My biggest complaint with those is the movies themselves - there's way too many Kaiju and puppet movies for my liking. 5 Gamera movies back to back is tough to say the least.
I dunno, it's up there with Knight Rider and Airwolf in that it's cool as hell to start with, but an hour long episode every week is a drag. My opinion anyway, but I feel like once you've seen a handful of episodes it gets boring. Someone else said the best part of those shows is the theme song and I have to agree.
