Someone posts something kinda cool.

Doofuses of the internet: we must find all the faults to prove how much smarter we are

This is probably a work in progress. And this person may not have the same preferences and priorities as you for their own personal setup.

XP still had the designed-by-engineers vibe. Since then, Microsoft got completely taken over by dipshits with marketing MBAs.

They now code Windows to impress executives and shareholders with how much they can harvest data and manipulate customers into using their stupid Store and so on. They stopped caring about the experiences of power users, or even casual users.

They don’t want the OS to work for us. They want us to work for them.

Voter: Please address our material interests.

Politicians: Nah, let’s all get violent over pronouns and bathrooms and Christmas and school books.

Reddit gives its mods the same kind of respect drug dealers give junkies

They want to wall some of their content off so it’s not easily harvestable on the web by competitors. But most of all, they want to have full control of your user “experience” so you can’t use browser extensions (like ad blockers). It’s all about money and control.

Body hair should have multiple sliders like a video game avatar. Wanna be furry all over like a Persian cat or a poodle? No problem. Want to be smooth as a dolphin? Also no problem.

My hope would be that we can transition peacefully to a hybrid model with the rising power of unions, gradual emergence of worker cooperatives, and increased demand for socialized health care and affordable housing.

However, I think it’s more likely that things will have to collapse first. Especially with violent accelerationist types doing their thing. Unfortunately, it’s far easier to destroy systems than it is to repair them.

All the “sleep hygiene” advice helps, but I also find listening to a lowkey podcast in the dark distracts and relaxes me. When I start drifting off I stop the playback and (usually) fall asleep.

Play “Fortunate Son” and/or Huey helicopter noises every time you go down.

I watch stealth campers on YouTube, even though I have zero interest in camping myself. I’m impressed and entertained by their ingenuity and explorer approach to things. It’s also a tiny push back against a corpo-fashy culture that wants people to “spend money here or move along”. These stealth camper people are harming no one (and the good ones pick up a lot of litter). But of course the “people of Nextdoor” suburban types flip the fuck out over stranger danger, so the campers have to avoid getting caught. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want some rando squatting in my backyard, either. I’m talking about people camping in parks, parking lots, medians, interstitial woodlands, etc.

I don’t mind being called old because 1. I am kind of old and 2. I feel it.

However, it does really suck when your favorite bands/musicians are considered old because they are forever young in our minds.

Also, over-explaining a meme with unnecessary analysis is a sign of being old.

Those super expensive rechargeable batteries they sell for cordless power tools have smaller cylindrical batteries inside, wired together.

The Torque Test Channel on YouTube took some apart for their insane Dewalt backpack battery modification video. It’s a fun watch.

Thinking that tailgating the vehicle directly in front of them will make thousands of other vehicles in front of that vehicle magically go faster. And many other reckless car-brain stunts.

What do do when you get paid by the hour not by the order: “Sorry, I didn’t get any of that, could you please repeat all of it?”

Do that enough times and the customers in line behind the person will kill the “rapper” for you and we all win.

I still love Lemmy. It’s nice to be able to post or comment without getting an automated response telling you you’re doing 15 things wrongs for trying to participate like happens on schmeddit.

Hell, I have trouble understanding young people right now. I’m not trying to dunk on them, I’m just old.

Warby Parker. Something about the name just completely frosts me. I know I should grow up and give them a chance (because Luxotica is fucking evil). But it really turns me off. “Warby Parker”…sounds like the name of some kid who’s dad owns racehorses.

I got a lot of complaints from family, too. Especially because I block Meta. I just let them bitch and I tell them things like “those ads are broken because of malware” which isn’t entirely untrue.

This has been my experience with my own family, neighbors, coworkers, etc. They think of themselves as the good guys “standing firm” against the hoards of those “scary other people” who want to take their guns, raise their taxes, and wage war on Christmas. Even though what those “other people” really want is affordable healthcare, education, and housing.

Hard boiled eggs. Astronauts love them because they are almost completely absorbed and pooping in space is a hassle.
