  • I’m not fully sure, but I think I truly despise women. But they play such a minor part in my life that it really doesn’t matter for me or them.

    Edit: Just to clarify. I’m 100% certain that my feelings towards women will actually never badly influence anyones personal life. In fact my and other women’s lives are so far appart that excluding family, a single coworker and few store cashiers, the last time I’ve actually spoken to a woman face to face was a few months ago. And that was just my friends sister. Excluding that, it’s been maybe a few years.

    If I were to disapear it would make absolutley no diffrence in any womans life, vice versa if all women would disapear, it would barely make a difference in mine.

    That’s why it really doesn’t matter.








  • I don’t know if that has been enshittified or was has always been shit in the first place but:

    Annotation Apps

    Seriously, how hard is it to make an app that let’s me make markups, use a stylus, and share that across devices.

    Exhibit A: Xodo
    It was once free, with all the good features, but then they took those features away and implemented a subscription model.

    Exhibit B: Drawboard PDF
    Once, came free with a Surface Pro or was a buy once use forever software, until Microsoft took a away all the bought licenses and locked most features behind a paid subscribtion.

    Exhibit C: Saber
    Its free. It doesn’t use Windows Ink. Why even bother?

    Exhibit D: Adobe Acrobat Reader
    Hahahahahahaahahaaaaaaaaaaahaaaa *Wheeze* hahahhhahaahahahaaaaa

    Exhibit E: Microsoft One Note
    Aneurism Simulator. You know how printing things suck because printers never play along? Microsoft decided to solve this problem by making printing out One Note sheets properly almost impossible on the software level. Also it can’t open PDFs properly or have normal A-Format pages. Either infinite drawing space or nothing.

    Exhibit F: Samsung Notes
    Actually decent. Free. Android Only. But at least it keeps the annotations separated from the PDF so you can still edit them after transfer. Good choice.






  • I I’m faced with 2 or more choices I used to overanalize them. Thinking logically through pros and cons and choosing what looked best on paper. But more often then not I came to regret my decision at the end.

    I came to realize that often when faced with choices I had my mind already made up but I still felt obligated to look at things objectively - not just listing to my gut feeling". But this hindered me to actually do what I wanted to do in the end.

    “You” know what “you” want - logic sometimes gets in the way of that.

    I didn’t just blindly started to trust my gut on everything. But now, when I’m faced with choices I take note of the first impression I get when they are first presented to me. I use my gut feeling as a “weighting factor”.

    Often times when it comes to “This looks better on paper, but this stuck out to me more when I first heard it.” I go with the latter, not the former.


  • Nvidia’s biggest finacial achievement in their gaming branch was fairly simple, getting rid of the “Titan” nomenclature. That’s it.

    Before we had the XX80’ cards and that was it. All you ever needed for gaming was a XX80 Ti. That was the top of the food chain. Nobody ever expected you to have lr need a Titan card - that would have been ridiculous. The Titan card was a mix between gaming GPU and buisness GPU. It was for people who didn’t want to buy a Quadro Series for work and additionally a GTX/RTX Card for gaming. The Titan was the best of both worlds but came with a high price.

    But now the XX90’ Series is essentially what the Titan Series was. Except now owning a XX80’ Series doesn’t feel like top of the line anymore. Simply by having a card in a generation with a higher “number” than yours, feels like there’s still a higher tier to achieve or like you’re still in “mid” tier, essentialy. Enough people fell for it and started buying the XX90’ Series as if it where a requirement for modern gaming. And after the XX90’ Series became mainstream, game developers stopped optimizing their max setting for the “mid” tier cards. This I why cards like the 4070 Ti or 4080 S still dip below 60 FPS on 1440p on maxed settings in some titles. 60 FPS on maxed is reserved for a 4090 - maximum settings, maximum graphical fidelity, maximum power consumption, maximum price.
