I don't mean to kick off a whole systemd discussion, but there's something very wrong with a system that has to tell you, on the command line, where to look for logs when things don't work as expected.

Job for systemctl status whatever.service" and "journalctl -xeuted with error code.
See "systemctl status whatever.service" and "journalctl -xeu whatever.service" for details.

I really don’t understand the baked in subtitles in everything online now. Why has that started? I find it really distracting, my eyes are constantly drawn to the subtitles even though I understand the audio perfectly.
Most online video services now provide dynamic, on-the-fly subtitle options, so it’s not even necessary.
What am I missing? Maybe it’s just me.

Seamus, that's the dog, was outside
Well, I was in the kitchen
Seamus, my old hound, was outside
Well, you know the sun sinks slowly
But my old hound dog sat right down and cried

Went on holiday once, took 5 books, forgot to pack any t-shirts. Had to buy a couple at a service station on the way.
