Whoops!

Whoopsie!

In his life? No. The word is not in his lexicon. Funnily enough, neither is the word “lexicon”.

Todays word of the day is…Enshitification!

So uhhhhhh…I’m not a software developer, but are you guys hiring? I don’t know. I’ll dress up in a clown suit and do unfunny things. Maybe I can mime a satire of what it’s like working at other jobs. Like drinking coffee, looking exhausted, typing on a keyboard, looking exhausted, talking on the phone, looking exhausted, sorting through filing cabinets, hanging yourself with a noose…uh…I mean…looking exhausted.

My point is, your job sounds amazing, and I want to work there even if I don’t have any skills or qualifications. Let’s make this happen.

I see a blank message with no edits. Why does this have 11 upvotes?

Me 8 years ago:

I’m absolutely not getting a job at amazon, or ups, or usps. I’m not taking a job where you don’t have permission to pee. I’m a human being. I don’t care if I’m the president of the united states giving a state of the union address live on tv. If I have to pee, I’d tell the camera “Hey America, go grab a snack or something. I’ll be right back in like 2 minutes.” Fuck it, if I gotta pee, that’s just what I’m going to do. Fuck your profits for 3 minutes. I’M expelling waste.

And then my sister is like “it’s not that bad.”

Then me reading news 6 years ago that an amazon worker died of a heart attack and his coworkers didn’t even stop to call 911.

My sister thinks I made that up.

Because fuck normal. Oooooh, look at me, I’m going to go to walgreens and buy an eyeglasses screwdriver, and then flirt with the 16 year old casheer despite the fact that I’M in my 60s! Like a NORMAL person would do!

Or, you could say fuck that, I’m wearing a pacman costume today in the middle of March. No reason. Fuck the world!

Who do you think is having more fun in their day? The 40 year old dressed up like pacman walking around the city going WAKA WAKA WAKA WAKA, or the 60 year old trying to get teenage pussy and creeping EVERYBODY out?

Ha ha ha, good quality headline from The Onion!

…well fuck.

I had to check which comment you were referencing. I thought it was going to be the one where I said how hot it would be if Taylor Swift wore a strap-on, and made Mr Feenie (the teacher from boy meets world) her bitch. But about linux gaming? Me? Insane sounding? :O

If you live in the DC area, absolutely do NOT sign up for this service.

100% chance that the government, as well as musks companies would be monitoring you directly 24/7.

We trash and bash in the mosh pitts, and get out our aggression. But if someone falls, you YANK them up. Many times I’ve fallen, and then suddenly felt myself lifted high into the air by the hand of god. Then I can see who lifted me, and it turns out it wasn’t god. It was a long haired, bearded, tattood muscleman. Which makes sense. I’m like 300lbs. If you’re suddenly yanking me up effortlessly, you’re a big muscle man. And then there’s other times I see women fall. I yank them up. I’m doing the right thing, I KNOW I’m doing the right thing, but the whole time I’m just like “Sorry sorry sorry sorry.” because you don’t aim where you grab. You grab and yank up, by whatever you can. You don’t want the pitt to come her way and stomp her head, not knowing she exists down there. So yank, but also “Sorry sorry sorry sorry”. I’ve yet to have any women mad at me for doing it, they get it, but MAN it feels weird just grabbing a woman like that.

Pushing, shoving, looks like a massive fist fight but it’s all love. We’re trusting them with our life. They’re trusting us with theirs. We all get super violent, and have a good time. Then the show lets out, and we’re like “Oh, you wanna go get some late night eats? Anyone know a good gyro spot?”, and we’re just friendly for the rest of the day. We’re like the Canadians of music genres. Violent when we play, and friendly the rest of the time.

Oh good. My PC is actually 11 years old. The hard drive died a few months ago. So I replaced the 3.5inch sata 7200rpm drive with an enclosure that holds 2 2.5inch drives. I’m using solid state for the first time. I was able to clone my Windows 7 drive to a solid state drive. It works even better than the original drive.

But! That enclosure makes it so that I can just turn off the PC, eject the drive, insert a different drive, and now I’m on an entirely different OS. It’s my first time using linux…it still sucks, but it’s useable. Last time I tried linux was right before I bought this PC 11 years ago. I tried using linux on a PC that previously was running Windows XP. I couldn’t even get it to boot. Now things generally work, but it has BEEN a constant struggle, and a constant learning experience.

Mint, Zorin, and Ubuntu are the ones I always hear.

you might not find a great drop-in replacement for Photoshop.

I’m not a photoshop user, so maybe I’m just being dumb and not getting it, but…isn’t that gimp? I remember that one because the program name “gimp” made me laugh first time I heard it. It’s like a BDSM thing, and then you’re like “Oh, it’s photoshop? My mind went a totally different direction…”

Dude…c’mon now. Check my history. I am NOT a linux defender. I am more along the lines of a linux user mocker. I find the OS to be confusing, but I find the userbase to just be SO…SO mockable. Just making fun of linux brings them out in droves. And it’s so funny to point out how the whole OS is clearly terminal mandated to enjoy the OS. Just say something like that, and you’ll twist somebodies knickers.

That being said, of all the things that are legitimately awful about linux, you chose the GAME SUPPORT??? My god. Steam is THE storefront on PC. They have a vested interest in helping linux’s development, as long as that development goes towards making games work. The steamdeck is literally their financial incentive to make certain that your claim isn’t close to being true.

And sure, you could say you disagree with Steam’s practice of LICENSING you a game. Not selling. There is a difference. I get it. That is something that is in itself a problem, but that also doesn’t relate to your issue. Because even if you stayed on Windows, you’d still have to buy from Steam. They’re just as dominant on Windows, as they are on linux.

So, you COULD buy from GOG. The issue is, they specialize in retro games. So, their library may have massive gigantic gaps in titles. But again, this would also be true on Windows.

So…yeah, I don’t know how you would defend linux game support being lackluster.

Welcome to the fediverse. The next few weeks are going to be confusing as shit…but then you’ll love it. Ask all the questions you want. You now have a girlfriend. Her name is Nicole, and she’s the fediverse chick! She just wants to steal all your data!

So you rewrite the script, and if the message gets banned it replaces the banned words with similar words from a thesaurus.

I assume the messages would get jumbled after a while.

“Hi, me name be Nicole. The fediverse baby chicken.”

If you’re not tech savy, how do you row row row your bot???

Instructions unclear. TV now controlled by Nicole the fediverse chick.

I have never played Chrono Trigger

So, are you one of those guys who denies themselves pleasure?
