I've been waiting for the boomer generation to stop any of what they're doing for 30 years. I suspect they'll still be a viable political bloc for the next 20 years. And even then, gen x and gen z will pick up right where they left off.
Don't underestimate the stupidity and calcification of tiktok users, they'll just stick around having never heard of the sale. They won't even question why their feed is now a nonstop loop of Kirk clips.
Kolektiva.social. I block the whole instance if that gives any indication.
Speaking of, where's kolektiva these days?
Then you've got my instance that's running mbin but still calls itself kbin.earth. Go figure.
1, 2, and 3 are tankies, 4 and 5 are conservative. (I think 5 is the trick one)
@arararagi@ani.social Don't forget Metaverse, they took a fuckin bath on that.
So here's the hot take I took from his video: yeah, an internet connected dishwasher is dumb, but so is a LAN connected dishwasher. "I don't want to have to maintain my own app to run this thing, keep this thing secure," damn straight. That little open source app is probably gonna get abandoned at some point, I don't want to have to fork it and fix things and patch vulnerabilities. I want a strictly Dumb dishwasher.
This is the technology worth trillions of dollars huh
I'll shill for them - if you play DND, the dice set is sick. Nice wooden case too (but the fit is a little jank, the lids don't sit flush). Still, it's an eye pleaser.
The part of that video that makes me empathize with his experience is the fact that Luke took on the same challenge, happened to choose Mint, and had no problem installing Steam. So you run into this catastrophic failure, and even your friend can only tell you "worked on my machine, I don't know what to tell ya." Then you search the internet and just keep finding the same instructions you just followed, to the letter. So you share your experience, and then half the Linux community blames you for "not heeding the warnings."
Got me there.
I'd even go so far as to say it's a dual-dopamine-plus-cortisol device. For as many things on the internet that give people joy, there are probably as many if not more things that make people angry. And the algorithms are very good and pressing both buttons simultaneously (the meme of a superhero sweating looking at two buttons need not apply).
