laios and kabru funniest dynamic of all time

I love how much ppl hate Deepnest because I find it so calming somehow. Like wow...nice ambiance. Pretty glowy mushrooms. And look at all these darling little creatures. This one's wearing a red cloak like Hornet! Garpedes are so cool...wonder where they're going. I'm gonna pet a Stalking Devout

This is what’s in my head instead of a brain, btw.

the yuri of all time

the universal college experience, no matter your major, is learning how remarkably fucked everything is. except business majors theyre having a great time learning to do basic arithmetic and and staring at that one supply and demand graph where the line goes up

So I was writing a small paper in Microsoft Word and the program suddenly crashed (I saved a couple minutes before, thank god) and I get this message in the corner of my screen two seconds afterward

what the fuck

#a whole new level of procrastination where your paper itself is procrastinating

When not only you’re done with the paper, but the paper is done with you.

getting new technology feels more infuriating every year. got a new computer for the first time in 8 years and everything about windows 11 and how it handles onedrive is driving me up the wall

the general attitude towards the user feels so much more opaque and condescending than it used to be. like "nuh-uh, we don't think you REALLY want to change that setting so we'll have an extra secret hidden step to make sure you do it our way instead :)" gargle my balls microsoft

Red maples are starting to pop down in this of the woods.

rufus is a tardigrade. i dont know

the generations to come will grow up using computers that resemble the touchscreens you order food at a deli from, no root access, not owned by them, only accessible via a few rigorously controlled and selected pathways allowed by the manufacturer, logging in will require a user profile with mandatory valid payment details which will be routinely used to access already extent functionality, their operations will be preempted while advertisements play, they will be taken to court if the electronic anti-tampering hardware is tripped. this will happen

they got us first with the phones, that they were eventually able to mostly lock us out of, or at least design the hardware and firmware in such a goofy fucked up incredibly secret way that there isn’t much you can do without 5 lifetimes of effort reasonably. they took root away, that has happened already, next will be the merging of your user with some network account with microsoft or whatever no longer being optional (google phones already do this), then no boot without network, then no boot without network and TLS connection with host “allowing” you to use it

windows 11 won’t boot on hardware lacking a “trusted security module” which is the fake name for a sealed chip that facilitates end-to-end DRM encryption a la HDCP, and that is when the concept of “local media” (mp3, mp4) will die, it will only come to you after payment, over the air, encrypted, or stored locally for a period of time with built in expiration a la video rental

i tell people this and it slowly happens and they’re all “i bet you’re soooooo proud of yourself for getting this right, must feel good” — it absolutely does not feel good, this was never an ego thing, they didn’t listen and when faced with reality they will won’t listen

i saw a kid writing code on his phone for a school assignment, man, what does that mean?

………………Marcille?

I love charcuterie!! :D
