- Comment on tech never works for long 3 days ago:
The main benefit of sailing the high seas when I was younger was simply having access to things I couldn’t afford that helped make me more cultured. Now the main benefit is so I don’t financially contribute to shitstain corporations.
- Comment on tech never works for long 3 days ago:
IT professional here.
Yup.
Everything is hardwired with multiple layers of security. Everything even remotely personal is on encrypted hard drives. No Alexa/Google. Made sure the smart TV and smartphones have all data sharing disabled. And I drive a 1999 vehicle that doesn’t make me jump through any hoops.
There’s a fine line between technology making things better and making things worse. We’re definitely starting to drift into the making things worse era.

IT professional here with 20+ years work experience. Not once have I ever met another tech that liked Apple. Personally, I despise them. Unintuitive locked down garbage that can’t do anything a PC can’t do for half the price. And yes, I have seen viruses on Macs.
They’re just really good at advertising to people who don’t understand technology.

It’s wild that the “land of the free, home of the brave” let a bunch of incel basement dwelling grifter losers take over and tank the nation.

Welp.
Lemmy open on one monitor. Jira open on the other.
So this tracks.
I pray for the apocalypse so I never have to look at a fucking ticket queue again. It’s a neverending list of other people’s problems I have to rapid fire solve.

Reminder that during the entirety of Biden’s 4 year term we saw job growth. Now we’ve seen 5 straight months of job loss under child rapist Donald Trump.
Thanks Biden.
- Comment on Tim Apple watching loyalists call map ads a feature: 4 weeks ago:
I absolutely love the idea of only referring to him as Tim Apple for the rest of his sad life.
This guy’s such a pushover wimp he let a pedophile permanently change his name. A pedophile he has prostrated himself to.

I mean, is it not apparent at this point?
If you watch someone do the thing where they step on a rake and hit themselves in the face more than once, you have to accept the reality that they’re probably stupid.
Americans have stepped on the rake a lot more than once.
- Comment on What's your opinion on post-game content? do you do it? or are you done with the game when the credits roll? 4 weeks ago:
Depends on the game.
One thing I usually won’t do is reinstall a game to play content added later.
- Comment on Which government he might be talking about 🤔 4 weeks ago:
Does this dipshit realize he’ll never be safe in public again? Probably anywhere on Earth.
And I don’t think he gets lifetime tax payer funded Secret Service protection like America is prepared to give a felon rapist pedophile.
- Comment on What is likely to happen when/if trump dies? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe it sticks around long enough to poison the waters for a couple more election cycles
This is kind of my best case scenario for the cult. Stick around and try their own thing, which results in siphoning votes from the Republican party.
the Republicans will eventually put the mask back on and try to pretend like nothing ever happened (though I can’t possibly predict whether that’ll work)
Oh it’ll work. After Bush Jr. Republicans pulled a “Who? Oh I didn’t know him that well”. Then they got a fascist elected. Their base has hamster brains. This whole ordeal should have buried the Republican party in a deep unmarked grave. But it won’t.
- Comment on What is likely to happen when/if trump dies? 4 weeks ago:
We’d get Vance, who is arguably worse. Seriously. Look into the guy. He’s a freakshow, but more subtle than Trump. Still very stupid though, so we’d still be led by a stupid extremist.
The cult as we know it would end though. Vance isn’t going to be able to take over as cult leader. He doesn’t have the flamboyant bigotry that Trump does, which is what draws low IQ conservatives to him like he’s some idol.
Doesn’t matter. I’ve witnessed conservatives all my life. With Trump gone, they’ll absolutely vote for the next shitstain racist/fascist/bigot/moron the Republican party hands them. Because the will never, under any circumstances, vote blue. And they’ll never vote 3rd party cuz they won’t want to risk baby eating Democrats gaining power. So they’ll bite their tongues and vote for whatever Republican is on the menu. And now that Trump has opened Pandora’s Box, we’re just going to see worse and worse candidates from Republicans because they watched and saw what Trump was able to get away with, so they’ll take advantage, because why wouldn’t they? They’ll want their turn to grift the presidency to create their own dynasty.
I don’t want to make a Monday even shittier than it already is, but realistically, things are probably going to get worse, not better, even with Trump gone. But hey, at least we won’t have to hear his fucking voice anymore or wake up wondering what monumentally stupid thing he’s said or done every fucking day.
- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 5 weeks ago:
As an American, I will never have faith in or be proud of this country again. Simple as that. That ship has sailed.
- Comment on Why are people so rude on Reddit compared to the Fediverse? 5 weeks ago:
When you know your account can and will be temp/perm banned by a fucking bot, you kind of stop caring about your account and your behavior on that account.
I was pretty careful until I had my 13 year old account perm banned without warning for saying “it’s ok to punch a Nazi”. Now I’m probably on my 40th account and I could care less about calling a Trump supporter a product of incest who should play on the freeway.
Ban me. I’ll be back in 5-10 minutes.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 5 weeks ago:
Welp.
Orwell warned us.
It’s kind of crazy that we’re already kind of there. I find myself constantly thinking about how I’m most likely being recorded at any given time I’m not at home. Even at home until I put my foot down and told my girlfriend her Ring cameras inside the house were to be put away unless we were on vacation.
And I’m old enough to remember when this feeling of being watched all the time was not a thing. I know it helps solve a lot of crimes, but honestly, I don’t care. I don’t think it’s worth it to live in a surveillance state.
Also, I’m a nudist. I go to nude resorts/beaches. People are going to be wearing these fucking things now and then uploading the video to the internet. NOT OK. Like, there’s an unspoken rule among nudists not to have phones out, and if someone does, people will confront them about it. But you can’t really protect against hidden fucking cameras in sunglasses.
I’m so tired of all this.

It grinds your gears that people don’t do what you want, doesn’t it?
Have you tried letting people use whatever the fuck browser they want?
- Comment on When people recommend Brave browser. 5 weeks ago:
I use Brave selectively. I don’t know about ads. I don’t get ads. I don’t know about donations. It’s never asked me for donations and doesn’t have the info necessary to charge me without me knowing. A little more info on that one would be nice as I’m not really sure what you’re talking about.
To be honest, I kind of don’t care. If I was super adamant about being 100% politically/morally correct I wouldn’t use any product, ever. I don’t pay for it and I don’t feel like it’s taken advantage of me. So I’m going to keep on using it sporadically like I do now.
For reference, I only use it in private window mode.
- Comment on VFX Artist shows the true scale of global garbage production 5 weeks ago:
Every public school student should go on a mandatory field trip to the local dump. Just so everyone is aware exactly what happens to their garbage. Too many people think it just disappears after they toss it in their garbage bin.
We are trashing the hell out of this planet and it’s 100% unsustainable.
