The modern internet kinda sucks. I wish I could time travel back to pre-2010.

It wouldn’t have taken much effort to find that gaping back door.
- Comment on Dell brings back XPS laptops — ditches the capacitive touch bar, adds 1Hz display option, and upgrades 14 and 16-inch models 2 days ago:
I hate the notch, and I used to say I’d rather have a bezel, but after going back to one of my pre-notch laptops, not having a bezel is nice. I still hate the notch though. I wish I could opt for just not having a built in webcam. It’s not like they use it for faceid, and I use an external webcam for work meetings anyway. Plus the iPhone seamlessly works as a webcam.

but that’s because the OS is designed in such a way where there’s nothing there
This is not true. There are multiple third party apps that help you get that space back so menu icons don’t just disappear behind the notch. I don’t use those though, and instead blindly drag my menu icons behind the notch repeatedly until the one I want pops out from behind it.
- Comment on Man who failed to remove backyard cheese facility told to pay $120,000 3 days ago:
“Backyard cheese facility” is one hilarious innuendo.
“I have to bring in a specialist to help out with my backyard cheese facility”
- Comment on using a binder clip as a spring instead of 3d printing one 1 week ago:
I wasn’t going to watch but this comment caught my attention. Those were definitely cool transitions, and the video overall was not too long and worth the watch.

Same. No longer.

Too late. I switched to librewolf.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 3 weeks ago:
you can sign up to receive updates on our AI Window and be among the first to try it and give us feedback.
I wonder if we all sign up and tell them we don’t want it if they would actually listen.

Fucking ridiculous.
- Comment on The Enshittification of Plex Is Kicking Off, Starting with Free Roku Users 5 weeks ago:
The current Roku app is so awful that nobody’s going to want to pay for Plex after using it. When I first saw it, I actually thought Plex was trolling Roku by giving them the shittiest possible experience for Plex.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 5 weeks ago:
I’ll grant you that, but are you implying that a large fraction, maybe close to half, of my coworkers are disabled? Surely there are other reasons.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 5 weeks ago:
I hear what you’re saying, but not once have I ever seen somebody with lots of tabs be able to find what they’re looking for in those tabs. They almost always click through several, then open a new tab and navigate to the content they need.
- Comment on Looking for ARPGs like Ys Origin and older Zelda gamma 1 month ago:
Also Crystalis on NES.
- Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy 1 month ago:
That comes out to $1.37 a day. I definitely think hardware should last way longer than that, and I even have computers running at my house that are over 12 years old, but $1.37 a day for something that most people use as much as their phone is not a bad deal. In this economy, that’s like half of a gas station soft drink, or like 10 miles worth of gas.

That’s why it’s called doublethink.

What if they have a trace buster buster?
- Comment on ‘My buyer’s guilt is insane. It’s $1,300 on trash’: the adults addicted to blind box toys like Labubus 3 months ago:
I don’t understand this. With $1300 can’t they just buy the thing they are hoping to get? Is a big part of this paying for the thrill of winning, but never experiencing that?

Better luck next time.

- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 3 months ago:
Read the book The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. Or better yet, listen to the Carey Elwes (Westley from The Princess Bride) read it on audiobook. It tells all about charlatans and conmen, and how to be skeptical and detect their bullshit. It’s the kind of book you can skip around in too, so it’s an easy read, not too weighty, but with lots of great info and stories.
Carl Sagan was amazing.

I hear what you’re saying, but I’d still like to see numbers before taking a stance.
- Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books 3 months ago:
Tha was my first thought too, but I’m not so sure. I’d love to see data on it. I did a quick search and couldn’t find any numbers, but I did find articles talking about Amazon requiring exclusivity in some cases. ingramspark.com/…/amazon-exclusive-options-create…
- Comment on Mark Zuckererg Demos New Facebook AI And It Couldn’t Have Gone Worse 3 months ago:
lol, this reminded me of the MS surface parody. “Instead of using one of today’s more popular compact devices to get directions to where you’re going, why not use a device the size of a small car to do the same job?”
