Goon on, legend.

Some say he’s still coming to this very day.

The world spins on a thin disc made of corrupted stability.

And the thing is, it’s almost universal across everything humans touch and it isn’t just terrible, shady shit like a company tossing 50k computers in working order just because it ended up being a cheaper option over finding a buyer, I mean shit like this.

Like only an idiot takes everything at face value and follows the system to a T and everyone knows it, everyone abides by it, everyone suggests by it, and law enforcement ignores it.

There’s a parallel world where no one pirates anything, books are $30 each and cops chase actual problems. There’s one bathroom with an asterisk next to it, the old don’t have to work because they’re easily paid for, people retire before 55, people drive on the right side of the road and pass on the left(in America), all because literally everyone does what they’re supposed to do.

…but like, nah. That’s sooooo hard, apparently.

Except a lot of it doesn’t fit because tons of it is predatory trash sold as functional when one or two things can go wrong and ruin everything.

It’s hard to expect the layman to need something technical, not know enough technically to do it themselves, but have enough surface knowledge to not get ripped off. It’s like threading a needle of the perfect level of wisdom.

Like I’d wager the common every dude would look for a connected hard drive, maybe Western Digital because of the market saturation, but there’s just so much garbage online that half works.

Then there’s interconnectivity issues, software not being available cross-platform after already spending hundreds on hardware, Apple problems.

The average user is just set and ready to be ripped off at like, all angles.

I just see Lemmy as “more Reddit”

I read Reddit, I read Lemmy.

Lemmy usually has 60-80 active commenters on any post that makes it to the front few pages of the entire network, which is more than enough cannon fodder for general discourse and discussion.

I don’t care if two or three ass-hats are using bots. They’re obvious and easy to spot, and everyone downvotes them anyway, and if they don’t, who cares? Move on. This site isn’t governed by any one person or interest, it’s going to be influenced by everyone equally, and that includes cheap shit like bots, because they’re wrapped up in everyone just the same as everybody else.

Trump is president elect of the USA and you think the problem to this issue’s path to visibility is political correctness?

Call it fuckification if it gets clicks and attention, this is the USA. They vote for trash, speak their language.

The joke: every year is the year of the Linux desktop

head tap

because Linux is rather awesome.

My thought process:

Desktop: I need cost for performance…

Server: fps for the Jellyfin, transcodes for the transcode god

Actually, maybe.

Nissan and Honda both have a long history of undercutting everyone else to sell compacts and both have been working on EV tech, Nissan a little more openly than Honda, although Honda does have a deal between Acura and GM in the states for battery tech.

Honda cooks forever before they release new things, but Nissan will keep cooking new small EV compacts… forever. It’s just their thing.

Facebook is really nothing without people, opinions, think groups, pacs, and assholes all fighting for attention. That is Facebook.

Once you boil it down to that, it kinda makes you wonder why on earth would want to make another one to start with rather than remove the entire concept from existence.

It’s not spinning AND shaped like a pyramid?

…where does the turtle go?

The functions I use Facebook for are only valid if it’s full of the majority of mankind.

Dating, and finding cheap used shit to buy in a parking lot.

It’s like waving a disapproving finger at a brick wall, has always been my criticism.

Protests shouldn’t be so easily tossed in a bin. If you aren’t a problem, then no one has to listen to your message.

2024

The last year voicechat was enabled on my copy of Team Fortress 2.

you don’t wanna know

While I do feel a sense of involvement in their exploitation by being a part of this system, I’m not going to feel bad for anyone who can’t follow the simple rules of the game.

Where’s the line between exploitation and personal fault? I can’t expect everyone who’s ever owned a credit card to have been put in the same situation where it’s the only way. For all I know, my last reward points trickled down from some asshat who financed a car on unemployment.

So… same-same.

No, it’s a thing idiots should avoid at all costs.

A card with a 2% reward across the board(Fidelity for instance) can be used as a proxy for your debit card week to week.

It builds my credit, gives me a group of attack dogs to sic on anyone who rips me off, and gives me a cushion if I ever need it. If you never exceed your expenses and never reach beyond your means, it’s no different in consequence than paying with anything else, with a little added bonus credit and reward.

It’s people and their lack of self control that ruin credit cards.

The more you’re willing to do yourself, the cheaper the car gets.

It’s basically a hobby meant for sysadmins and they don’t even realize it!

Who’s forcing them to buy an iPhone?

I mean, at some point you might want to pull the problem up by the root. The root seems to be Apple.
