@matigo That about sums it up, yes. I much rather go to a small, calm restaurant that doesn’t assault all my senses.

@thedan84 Oh, they updated it now? Guess I should play around a bit and see what I can do.
@matigo To be fair, I’m just uncomfortable with fast food joints in general. :D

@jussipekonen Last summer we had the second KFC in Sweden opening in town. Guess where I haven’t been eating?
@kdfrawg Corel Draw. Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

@peemee For situations like that, it’s pure gold to have older hardware with accompanying software around.
@tomas In the example of YouTube, yes I have seen exactly the garbage that the article describes. From the repetitive themes done to death by every single low-class, low-quality mass producer of videos, to the utterly craptastic “funny” videos that contain more illogical stupidity and lack of coherent anything than I’ve ever seen before.
Now, mind you, I grew up with Loony Tunes, Tom & Jerry, and similar styled cartoons. Full of violence and quite a lot of stupidity, but the unchecked and uncontrolled stuff on YouTube is miles worse, if you ask me.
Since both my kids are fairly young, and given the extreme likelihood of the worst of the worst popping up to be played next, YouTube is a dubious source of entertainment. I really have no good solution for it, and I’m not sure it’s something that can be fixed.
I just have a big pile of videos that get streamed locally, some older and some newer stuff. At least it doesn’t have the bottom-of-the-barrel stuff that’s all over YouTube.
It’s probably not worse that what we were exposed to on tv, when we were growing up. Space knows there was some real garbage there too, and with ads aimed at kids every couple of minutes. Same, same, but different.
I just try to filter out the really crap stuff until they learn to deal with it themselves.
@matigo I’d like that. Or maybe give people a choice if they want the kiddie UI or the “classic” look.
