  @LukefromDC@kolektiva.social @VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Ah, and we have a fine exaple of one of the biggest reasons I stopped carrying a fucking smartphone! I have my tiny laptop, running Linux. When people begin a sentance with "If you instal our app...", I cut them off. "Fuck your app!". Now I just need to break the "Do you have a phone number with us?" habit. The meager price saving isn't worth it

  "Ah, going to finally play this game." *puts on headphones* "An update to PS Link is required." "Ugh, fine." *Update* "Something went wrong." GOD FUCKING DAMN IT, #SONY!!

  @Li@tech.lgbt @hsza@social.tudbut.de @imbl@social.treehouse.systems Begs the question... where is the edge of "reasonable ask"? In some places, a woman not being completely covered head to toe, face included, is "indecent". So, where between nude and mandatory burka is "reasonable ask"?

  As jank as this thing is, back in the late 90s, the OMNI would have entirely changed how I use computers. Yes, he says it "doesn't do much". However, it does the one thing I wanted back then... stick an acceptable amplifier inside the computer. https://youtu.be/hHog4-pdz98

  Weird... Out of the blue, I suddenly realized I haven't seen a magazine laying around in a really really long time.

  Remember: From time to time, doing absolutely nothing is, in itself, a worthwhile and healthy activity. Staying sedintary all the time isn't the best for you (I'm guilty of this), but neither is never taking some time to just exist. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is be "useless" fo a bit, "serve no purpose" for a bit, consume nothing, and just... be. I, myself, had forgotten this.

  Radio ad about the station: "It's like MTV, on the radio" Did... you really just say that? I don't have words to describe how stupid that statement is.

  One way I stay productive is to have a task I'm just unable to get done and end up procrastinating with other helpful tasks. Previous resident here did some dumb crap with the windows in a bit of "DI-Why the fuck would he do that?!". So I was uncovering my window, and cleaned it. Then cleaned my housemate's study window. Then spent however long scraping paint off her bedroom window cause I figure she'd enjoy that. My room... still a pile of disorganized...

  https://youtube.com/@solipsismslop 🎵😁🎶 #music Aparently, this is their first music. It's been up for a few days. No idea how I stumbled on it, some of the tracks have views in the single digits, and there's a mere 15 subs. So, go check them out.

  In my opinion, the MOST important thing you can do for your #privacy is get over your aprehension of being "that weirdo" or being "difficult". Not having "the app" is "abnormal". Refusing to use a platform because of a privacy hazard is "being diffiicult". Avoiding facial or plate recognition is "paranoid". The first thing you need to do is get the fuck over that. Be difficult, be a weirdo, be abnormal. What's actually fucking weir...

  High on my list of things that make me anxious is... Working in GUI, clicking commands, or dragging things.... Accidentally landing in the wrong place, something happens but goes away too fast to see it, and I'm left having absolutely no idea what just accidentally happened to my computer or my files. Multiply this by a thousand if I'm working with private files I would never want sent to other people.

  This... just hits different these days. I'm not sure how to describe it. It's a whole mix of emotions, positive and negative. I'm just really appreciative these stickers are in this game. I also fear I may stop seeing them. #PacificDrive

  This pretty much sums up how I feel about being touched by strangers, clients, and anyone who did not have my consent.

  What an interesting jouney computers have been for me. "IBM Compatible? But I only know Apple." - circa '93. But I was off to the races in DOS in a couple hours. "But I need Windows!" - circa '00. Not sure why I felt that way. "LOL, I'd rather go back to paper than use something other than Linux" - Recently "Hmm... I'm willng to poke around BSD" - present day. Haven't actually attempted BSD yet, but it's on my list

  Huh. The internet seems to have absolutely no findable record of these DVDs of old cartoons I got WAY back in the day, in bargin bins, nor the titles of the shorts on them. Cheap DVDs... that aren't going to last forever... Yeah, I think I'll get these up on Archieve in case they are in fact entirely not anywhere. Soo... what's the etiquette? Do I just rip the big hour long video and stiick it up there with the info I have, or do I need to take it in to an editor and break it in to...

  I got tired of emailing a company every day insisting they respond, so I set up a Home Assistant automation to do it. lol. I'll just leave that automation on till they respond. I used a few {{["One way to say it", "Another way to say it.", "another wording!"] | random}} to change it up, used a time trigger, ticked off business days, and voilà. #HomeAssistant

  I'm having one of those days where I wish I could temporarily not exist. Not in a suicidal way, I don't wish to be dead. In a feeling unmotivated to do absolutely anything way.

  It's too bad Google is so damn evil. There's LOADS of integrations in #HomeAssistant for their services. I want to be against it but... anything to bring average people in to foss is likely a good thing. They can figure out they need to abandon Google after they see foss software isn't always crap.

  Wait... this entire time, I could put pngs in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/ and they'll appear in "Applications" when picking an icon?!?! FFS! Every so often, I learn something in #Linux that makes me feel like I don't know a fucking thing about Linux. Anyway... I want the LGBTQ+ version of the LibreWolf icon, but unfortunately, the wolf and circle being white is too low contrast to work well at 48x48. @librewolf - Any possibility you could give highe...

  I'm noticing more and more web pages aren't working in @librewolf@chaos.social. I don't think for a second this is something wrong with #LibreWolf. I'm certain it's that more and more web sites aren't working with tracking bullshit blocked. IE - The privacy thing isn't broken, it's just working exactly as it's supposed to. The web is broken.
