I’ve dumped FF for Zen and Waterfox.

Zen’s only downside is that it can’t play some DRM media like some sports websites. Waterfox can, so I use it for that.

I wonder if Waterfox allows this. It’s MOSTLY Firefox but without going down the AI trash route.

“Hello?”

“Hey Dave…wait what’s that noise?”

“Oh that’s my washer and dryer going.”

“Can you move to the other room? I can’t hear you very well.”

“No, the call is on my washer.”

“WHAT?”

I’ve never used TikTok other than seeing some posts a friend might share in a group chat. But I don’t think it’s for me.

I’ve tried Loops, and maybe the “swipe down for a new video of someone saying/doing something dumb” just isn’t my cup of tea. I dunno.

“But the algorithm knows what you like!” someone will say. I don’t want algorithms anymore, to be honest.

Hah, I JUST had a conversation with my boss about whether or not I was using the “new” outlook or the “old” outlook.

He’s apparently using the “old” outlook because there’s a toggle switch in the upper right of his window that says “try the new outlook!” and I don’t have that, meaning…I guess I’m using the “new” outlook?

Who knows at this point. It’s all trash.

Yeah, every time I have ever tried Gimp, attempting to do anything felt like someone had purposefully been contrarian and made every operation work in the hardest and most confusing way.

And someone may say, “well, you just have to learn it!” OK, sure. Or I can use something that makes much more sense from the jump like Affinity Photo. (Yes, I know you have to pay for it, but it’s worth it. Yes, I know not everyone has the money to do so.)

Windows is great because if you plug your mouse into one USB port then maybe you move the mouse to another, it completely forgets that mouse ever existed and is like “setting up device!”

Bro, you know what this is.

“Become?”

The first planes only flew for a few seconds.

Yep.

I have tried on my phone and Mac, and I can’t submit anything. Even for other locations.

I took one of the free CS50 classes (among others) on EdX years and years ago, and honestly it helped get me into the business and into the job I have now.

It’s fun to joke I took a MIT class for free. But it honestly helped me learn some logic and enough stuff to get me going.

My 1070 still plays Final Fantasy XIV just fine, so I think I keep my $3,400, thanks.

Yeah, I paid for PCalc because someone put in effort to make it, and it’s good. Don’t feel bad about that.

But I wouldn’t subscribe to one.

'It didn’t work the first time we tried to launch a streaming service. But THIS time…"

Hopefully this money will allow that ONE DUDE to get some help in managing these apps. I know he has maybe a couple of collaborators now, but maybe they can get some more dedicated people to build out the apps. It’s a lot for one or two people to try and spin up two apps at once.

The Pixelfed app that dropped last week, for example, doesn’t even have a button to view the global feed. It’s better to just use the main website of whatever server you are on right now, even on your mobile device.

We don’t care about professional coders any more. You know, the people making all these “breakthroughs” we are so happy about.

AMD now has “Max” chips and Dell now has “Pro” and “Max” laptops.

Everyone copying Apple.

“…whenever we have 8K TVs and content.”

The TVs exist, but there won’t be content for years and years. Companies barely stream usable 4K right now.

Every car company has a financial incentive to, every year, say it’s a “couple years off” to keep investors intrigued.

Back when we all were a little hoodwinked by elon and didn’t know he was a complete, lying asshole, he said around 2014 or so it’d take just a couple of years. Then another couple. Then another couple.

I don’t really have faith it’ll ever be there in our lifetimes in a way that’s I’d trust.

I mean, he will on an alt.
