  The face of a very serious man who knows exactly how funny you think his name is.

  For real, though what IS it with people having goofy ass names and heading straight to politics demanding that you vote for Dick Butts as mayor?

  Yeah, he couldn’t get away from the line.

  I understand that this is a doomer sub but man. When you manage to get away from all this social media bullshit for a while then try to poke your head in you realize how relentlessly negative it is at all times, because nobody wants to actually do anything about anything, including go the fuck outside and forget about it for a bit, and everyone with any ambitions of sanity leaves.

  Could we start discussing credible strategies to reverse this situation, or at least improve that number somehow? Absolutely the fuck not, never, ever ever. The shit is very literally crazy, I don’t know what I was trying to expect.

  But this post is so much like the other posts on the rest of the site it took me a minute to notice where I was. Might as well stop acting like this is just one community, it’s everything.

  Yeah, this is akin to Disney deciding to do some pretty clear cut theft of some smaller company’s IP, the kind of shit they’d unleash the lawyers for. But how many lawyers do you have? None? One? That’s what we though. The revenue must grow, peasant, give it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For the record, on Windows 10, I’m using 9GB (rounded up from 8.something) to run Firefox and look at this website, can’t forget Discord inviting itself to my party in the background, and the OS. I had to close tabs to get down here. Streams really eat the RAM up.

  Throw a game in there, with FF open for advice and Discord running for all the usual gaming reasons, and yeah, way over.

  Notice I haven’t even touched any productivity stuff that demands more.

  8? Eat a penis, Apple. Fuckin clown hardware.

  It would be weird if I just eat the dill all by itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Auto-lock doors have been a nightmare in general. I always roll a window down at least far enough to stick an arm through every time I get out of a running car because of the one time forever ago that I left a 90s Pontiac Skylark running, shut the door, and it autolocked with the keys in the ignition and the motor running. I had to get my girlfriend to drive me back to my apartment for the spare key while the car was humming away, and I never forgot that. If I wasn’t close to home, with a helpful ride nearby, and a spare key on hand, I’d have been screwed.

  Talk about features that need regulated out. All because suburban whites don’t want to remember to lock the doors as they drive through the black neighborhood so the car locks itself whenever you put it in Drive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right when we literally need to chill, they keep inventing nonsense that is somehow worse. Crypto is literally just machines wasting energy on purpose to create false scarcity, it was already a worst case scenario for truly pointless excess emissions but by god, they managed to top it, this place is going to be a raisin with dead oceans.

  Of course, anyone who does anything less than suck the dick of this AI is a reactionary ignorant peasant, at least with crypto everyone agreed it was lame, now we’re back to the iPhone fuck-you-only-change-allowed-keep-up-granny bullshit that lead to everyone but you knowing everything about you, so they can exploit and even criminalize the behavior your phone tells them about. Never the change we need, though. Just whatever makes your stupid line go up.

  I guess. Glad I’m not having kids. That’s the only fucking downward pressure on future emissions that’s happening, on any meaningful scale. I can’t wait to see what sort of shitty boilerplate copy and fake fucking pictures makes all this CO2 worthwhile. I’m sure the problem is me, and my Luddite, unseasoned irrational fear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I stopped using upvotes/downvotes at all on Reddit. Unless you were on New, exclusively, it didn’t matter how often you got on Reddit, anything you were seeing was at least fifteen hours old. Any conversation was already done. Any up/downvotes you put in wouldn’t matter at all and probably just got ignored by the system. Anything you had to say would only appear to you, in reality it just dropped to the bottom of the sea, never again to be seen. Thousands had already spoken, somehow, and you were just walking through a snapshot of the past, already said and done.

  For now, it’s much smaller here. Sometimes I find myself upvoting a post just to let the person know that somebody actually came in here and gave a fuck about what they had to say, that they aren’t talking to themselves in an empty room.

  It makes sense to care a bit more, for a lot of reasons. We’ll see how long that vibe can sustain itself.
