- Comment on Am I going fucking crazy? (Regarding explicit songs being censored on various music streaming services.) 7 months ago:
Not just you… I’ve had both clean and explicit versions playing of the same songs coming up randomly and it’s annoying.
I legit want an option to only use the explicit versions, the clean ones never sound good where they clean it up, and sometimes they even use those stupid sound effects that just frankly destroy the song. If the service only has the clean version, I think I’d rather it just not play it at all

Nice, anti homeless and anti disabled all at once (lack of streetside seating makes getting around challenging for mobility limited people)

One beatle at least still does shows… At least, last I heard Paul was still touring, maybe he’s retired by now though

Especially considering how much of today’s culture can draw a direct line to their influence even now
- Comment on 400,000 species 7 months ago:
I like them, they were a pretty important foundation for my taste in music. I didn’t really get the hatred of them that seems popular of late, I can’t help but feel like at least some of that is just people following the trend, but it doesn’t change my enjoyment of it.
- Comment on 400,000 species 7 months ago:
Does them being popular somehow make them worse? I don’t understand this take… What’s wrong with liking what you like, without regard to what others like, either way?
- Comment on 400,000 species 7 months ago:
I dunno, if every time I hear a band it feels like nails on a chalkboard to my very soul, I think saying I hate them is perfectly valid without requiring any actual effort beyond trying to get that music to stop while I can hear them and wanting to discontinue conversation about them
Hate doesn’t have to be any more active than avoidance
Indifference, on the other hand, implies not caring that the music is playing

John Lennon was always my favorite
The more I learn about him… The less I like him…

I’ve used Windows 11 a lot
I’ve made all the changes
Ultimately, switching to Linux is what it took to get rid of the garbage, and didn’t have to disable anything on the new system.
Can we not defend this bullshit, please? Or dismiss it as not that bad? It’s bad. Really bad. Stop pretending it’s okay because you can go through a dozen settings, half a dozen registry hacks, and a handful of third party programs to make the system work almost as well as it did a decade ago.

It’s okay, I’ve already switched to Linux
- Comment on Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar 7 months ago:
Shouldn’t have to, it should be something to enable or better yet install
- Comment on Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar 7 months ago:
I asked it how to get rid of it.
It decided my aggressive language was not okay and kept ending the “conversation” which only managed to piss me off even more.
If I want to curse at my f$king computer, I’m going to curse at my f$king computer. I paid for the damned thing, and it is a thing, not a person, I can yell at it all I want and not hurt it in any way so this policing of what we can say to it is all the more bizarre to me.

Honestly, if I printed enough to warrant it, I’d go for that Epson… But I stick with my color laser because it’s over ten years old and I print so little it still has the starter cartridges in it, ink would have dried out so many times during that period
- Comment on YouTube comments like this 8 months ago:
I hate those comments… I can’t say they’re the most useless garbage out there, but they’re damned close.

I’m using Firefox so I’m already using one with all of those features, and the added benefit that it won’t eat my RAM and spy on me

And this is exactly why I wouldn’t do my own, I had no idea either of those were legal/possible

And this right here is a great example of why simple basic RegEx is rarely adequate
At the very least, should be something like
^[^@\s]+@([^@\s.]+\.)+[^@\s.]+$I’m like 99% sure I missed at least a few cases there, and will say “please don’t use this for anything production”

I’d love to know where they got the idea that the spec doesn’t allow that…

One of the reasons I’ve always avoided .info, nobody seems to believe it’s a real domain
- Comment on They won't teach you this in Drivers Ed 1 year ago:
Same, I learned on a brand new car, on my own, and taught a couple other people with it, and it still had the original clutch when the transmission linkage broke at 187k (basically totaled at that point, just pulling out enough to get to the transmission would have cost more than the car was worth at that point… Low end Chevy’s don’t hold much value as it turns out)
The clutch is meant to slip, that’s literally how they work. As long as you aren’t riding it partially engaged for hundreds or thousands of miles, you probably won’t burn it out. If they were as delicate as people treated them, they wouldn’t have been the choice for racing for as long as they were after automatics hit the scene.
