A bad take from a good person. I like your history so i want you to think about this…Don’t get mad at or direct hate towards passionate people. The world needs them to make stuff for the rest of us schlubs who spread our attention thin. Besides, isn’t some of that annoyance, just a little of that prickly feeling, jealousy?

I get the feeling you’re expressing here, i do. I’ve felt it myself. I personally have wondered why, and done some self-reflection and considered maybe this is my answer. If it makes sense then maybe it is your answer too. Whatever you’re reason for feeling this way, the next thing to ponder is is whether expressing this emotion to others has a practical use for them to hear, out for you to say.

This one is a feeling that is useless to everyone especially yourself.

it is one to recognize as a failing and to work on, not to express in a forum as an emotion to be proud of

Tell ya what, i bet if every production company magically disappeared tomorrow we would still have new shows. It’d start out like the early days of youtube (my favorite btw) but in my (perhaps unusual) opinion Netflix, disney, sony, et al are more a barrier to quality content than a benefit.

I mean, how many really really good things did you watch last year? What interesting, unusual things might we have seen this year if marvel 25 and spidweman 15 etc weren’t taking up all the air?

Do i need to make a nesting meme in this thread to show you mooks that you’re literally doing the meme right now?

the_post_of_tom_joad, to linux in When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**

I game, like a lot, and if windows beats me one more time i swear I’ll leave them for good. Is there a list of supported games? I just hit their site and only saw an nvidia gpx drivers too, did i simple miss the AMD stuff?

I’m glad to hear zombo resisted enshittification

But the main problem is that the glasses don’t do much we can’t already do with phones.

This is enough to tell me they’re not going to catch on. But even if they did somehow, i think it would be a short fad. I mean that meta et al would not be able to stop themselves from turning the glasses away from useful things and towards just being another ad serving platform.

the_post_of_tom_joad, to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

Is this the thread to troll? I don’t know if people are that invested in lost features that theyd get baited, but get that gator!

the_post_of_tom_joad, to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

I used to fuck with friends with my “universal remote”, and of course use my phone whenever i misplaced my own I miss that stupid feature the most

the_post_of_tom_joad, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

I’m guessing… they don’t want us deciding whether to engage with our phones, they want us looking at them more. If that means less convenience for us we can get fucked

I don’t understand how someone can have a take this cartoonishly ridiculous in 2024. Are you effin serious me boy? I mean dude.

I admire your passion. How do you feel about peanut butter on a burger?

There’s an old song popular long before any of us were born called “what’s wrong with kids today?” about the generation we now call “the greatest”.

Iirc there’s an old Egyptian poem about how “the kids are no good”.

Before there was TV and video games, they used to blame social ills on the kids “reading, instead of living”.

Old heads gon’ shit on the youngins, it’s in our blood
