Concerning implications about this clown coffin no longer being needed.

“For sale, clown coffin, never used. Because zombie.”

“So the idea is that you wash away all of the dirt, and each time you clean something you accumulate wealth you can use to buy better equip-“

“Do what now?”

I just wish more of the inevitable billionaires exploiting me delivered common sense services that work the way one would imagine with Econ 101 logic. I’m so tired of integrated AI tools no one asked for and an overwhelming majority don’t want. Let me overspend on a damn fridge without connecting it to the internet. Why does my vacuum have proprietary, non-reusable bags?

He could easily fleece his users in so many ways if he wanted to. Many of us are in so deep with Steam that it would take something truly heinous to pry us away from our game libraries, and the next-best service to Steam is absolute dog shit.

Saying he can’t make more evil, exploitative choices because it would be bad business ignores the fact that nearly every modern company makes evil, exploitative choices no matter how little business sense it makes. Honestly, I’m exhausted by just how rarely companies act in their own self interest and just let us continue giving them money instead of shooting themselves in the foot.

They say you achieve mastery of a skill by spending 10,000 hours receiving advice from Hank over in Home & Garden.

I’ve recently found it ironic that cloudfire classifies me as human based on how I sort AI generated images, presumably as judged by AI.

Using their hammer would be the tools they use to actually code. This is more like measuring a carpenter’s work by how often they get advice from the workers at Home Depot.

Reminds me of that guy who burned off his fingerprints and made his way more identifiable.

Someone out there is even worse off than you, and they might be saying “Fuck agingelderly.”

Unless they understand the actual problem, then they would be saying “Fuck billionaires” or maybe “Fuck Regan”.

Mayo+banana sandwiches are actually pretty dope, much to my chagrin.

Time to lean heavily on “I forget the word for it in this language…”

I will say, though, if someone can clock that he’s a regular listener to a specific podcast after he tells them some (as he sees it) common sense opinions on everyday topics like dating, then that is worth taking note of and doing some introspection rather than getting defensive.

If someone was telling me about their Alexa spying on them, and I threw out a “Mulch the rich”, and they replied “Oh, you listen to the MBMBaM podcast?” I would think “Shit, am I being brainwashed without realizing it? That podcast isn’t even political…”

I went with Mint recently as an initial attempt at linux. It’s clearly not the right distro for me, even a little bit of effort and I would surely find a better option. Still, my bar for success was just “better than windows”. I hit that easily, so I’m very happy and probably going to coast on Mint for quite a while.

It’s so nice not having forced updates, or “Yes/Remind Me Later” popups, or stupid AI features I constantly have to turn off like I’m playing whack-a-mole. My OS is just the same every time I log in. You hear that?… Silence…

Thought today was the perfect weather to take my ebike out and enjoy nature. After two hours of drama servicing it, started it up and there’s a power distribution error code. An hour into trying to fix it myself, I gave up and spent 45 minutes jamming it into my tiny car. Called around and all the repair joints are booking out to July.

April 25th is bullshit.

I had to go through the Atlanta airport shortly after the “4 hour wait” stories started hitting. I showed up 3 hours earlier than normal to be safe, and when I got there they had every station manned and ICE was basically just waiving everyone through. Took me about 2 minutes to get through security.

Kind of illustrates how pointless TSA is in the first place, but I’d rather have had that four hour wait than have to be within 50 ft of ICE.

Batman TAS is unbelievably good. Gets a little better every time I rewatch it.

Also, I am pretty sure the steam machine is smaller than I was able to achieve in my efforts to make a tiny gaming PC for the living room. That kind of thing can only be done at great effort.

Once I was in the bathroom of this upscale theater following a Shakespeare play, when a very sharply dressed older man who exuded an aura of intelligence came in and approached a urinal. He dropped his pants and underwear all the way to the floor, raised his shirts with both of his hands and held them above his exposed nipples, then pushed his hips as far as he could into the urinal to piss hands-free. The incongruity of what I was seeing left me stunned, and made me forget to pee until he had completely left the bathroom.

Infosec seems like a depressing job to be in atm.
