    OMG!!! QBN in dark mode, finally! Thanks to this plug-in: https://www.fastcompany.com/9025…

    It's available for free for Firefox & Chrome but it's $4.99 for Safari.

    • Only mono would pay Apple $4.99 for an a free plug-in.utopian
    • And me, because I love & use Safari as default browser.NBQ00
    • seriously utopian, can you just shut the fuck up already with the apple shit?monospaced
    • haha, Utopian 1 - Mono 0Nairn
    • Except I don’t use safari, and utopian is a troll.monospaced
    • NBQ, on the other hand, apparently did pay for it to use with Safari. That's not me.monospaced
    • This was the best $5 bucks I spent in a while. The entire web has become amazing. Not just QBN.NBQ00
    • He trolled you and you reacted, i doesn't really matter whether you use Safari or not ;)Nairn
    • oh, so you're giving out points for being a moronic troll ... in that case, it's more like utopian 1M, mono 0monospaced
    • WOW very nice Addon! THANKS!Bennn
    • just playing mono, nothing but love for you. you know that!utopian
    • you got your point, troll, give it upmonospaced

    • what you think about moving this to the useful thread?api
    • damn, this thing slows down my browser :-/api
    • it was fun for 47 seconds. Had to uninstall after that.Krassy
    • I love it, couldn't be without it anymore. Works great on like 95% websites out there. Just have to play a bit with settings and set on "filter".NBQ00
    • I emailed the dev and he said he would fix some issue like embedded videos on websites that appear inverted.NBQ00
    • @Vandal7 yes privacy concerns are true for this kind of things. hope browsers like firefox integrate it native, soon! safari is working on something.api

    Feeling a bit nervous as I'm gonna deejay 5 hours all by myself in a Club tonight...

    I've been playing in some specific parties but mostly in the bar we have here for the last four months.

    Tonight's gonna be my first night out so to speak.
    I'm confident about the music selection though.

    • https://i.imgur.com/…pablo28
    • I'm not a deejay actually, I'm a selecta ;-)
      And had a 13 year break and started recently again cause the love for wax never went away. Good joke though.

    • @ hans I ended up playing from 19:45 till 02:00 ;-) there was a moment were a crowd came in and I was playing real fast afrobeat
      ********
    • and I was running out of records to keep the pace so I jumped from drumming to "disco queen" from hot chocolate and did more half hour funk to stretch...
      ********
    • the remaining records. like slowly building up again. after another half hour I only had old school afro left, no more organic beats...so samba came to rescue
      ********
    • stretch? why did you do it?hans_glib
    • what a marathon - nice one.hans_glib
    • stretch the time in means of let me go somewhere else before playing my fastest records, build it up until we are way up there again and bam!

    Do you sometimes walk around your town and wonder how everything will look like in a 1000 or 5000 or more years? Will it be a beautiful tech utopia, shiny and futuristic or totally destroyed/ polluted?

    I would love to have a time machine to go back & forth thousands and millions of years in time and see how things looked back then and how it will be in a distant future when we're dead.

    • Yes. And classic old stone architecture / anything pre 1900 is best and will last, modern stuff will look tired and dated in 10+ years.shapesalad
    • I'm talking about 1000's-5000's or more years, not 10-20 :)NBQ00

    Dogs seem to be liking me lately. Like a lot!

    I wonder what’s going on. Prior they didn’t give 2 shits about me. What up with that?

    Getting closer to getting a pet — hoping before end of year.

    I’ve started to cook a bit more, and I still get zero enjoyment out of it. I hate it as much as I’ve always hated cooking my entire life. It’s a painful chore. Fuck cooking.

    Seeing news of a friend passing on fb is not a fun experience to have...
    Go call or hang with your friend,family, who you haven't seen for months or ages.
    Life is short. Quit bickering on qbn.
    Have fun and be nice to each other.

    • How close was he of a friend if you got the news from fb?NBQ00
    • I have not hang out with anyone in a month now. Busy working and being sick.pango

    I've hit rock bottom financially. Just about 2 years ago on top of the world, so much freedom, traveling, fun with girls and doing trips with them and spoiling them a bit (not in a sugar daddy way) and myself too. I did nothing extreme in terms of spending but for sure it was nice because the money was coming in. I was single and enjoyed life.

    Then lots of bad luck happened with work since then. I don't know why but it got so much quieter and even applying for freelance gigs at shitty little companies didn't work either despite my work being way better than what they were doing.

    I hate this situation, living from paycheck to paycheck and now worrying about my finances when before it was better. And I'm really trying hard to get more work but there seems to be some sort of barrier. Maybe it's a phase in life, maybe the universe wants me to teach a lesson and I have to go through tougher times?

    Anyone else in a similar situation?

    • In a similar situation, living paycheck to paycheck, but I'm better than last year and there's no way I'm going to stress about it like before.Maaku

    My mom and dad’s 16-y/o-poodle died this morning. My dad was alone for the weekend and called me right after giving him his last walk and watching him lay down for the last time. I drove home just to hug and comfort him as we both weeped in silence. Sad Saturday.
