There’s a lot of social programming at play and it is particularly difficult for women to push back against the enormous pressure. Men get an easier pass for not looking pristine or in line with expectations.
That being said, my wife has changed her outlook in the past 2 years. She has discovered minimalism and anti-consumerism. I myself am much more of an advocate for function above all else.

yet no one seems genuinely impressed by it
You’re living in a bubble. Very many people are impressed, even if you and I aren’t. I never cared or knew about these things before. But my wife does know about brands and will point out when someone is wearing over £20000 in their outfit. My parents push me to buy an expensive car “because of how it appears” to have the more luxury brand car (even when I don’t care). My cousin says he has to go on holiday to fancy places to keep up with what other parents/kids talk about in their private school.
I think it is all nonsense as well, but the reason so many people still do it is because it absolutely works. Most people are certainly impressed even if you aren’t.

They are fulfilling their purpose though. These people are trying to announce their “status” in society so others know how rock and successful they are. They’re not advertising the brand, they’re using the brand to advertise themselves. The problem is that a lot of people in society are actually impressed by shit like that.
- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 3 weeks ago:
Ah, I’ve never tried to convert it that way. Laptops all seem to have USB charging for many years now.
- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 3 weeks ago:
I got it from Ali Express and hope this link works for you. Just look out for the size that fits your current laptop charger. Also check how many watts your laptop charger does, it needs to be able to output 65W if you want to charge a 65W device.
- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 3 weeks ago:
Pro tip: eBay used laptop USB chargers are dirt cheap compared to a GaN charger + USB PD cable. I’ve put laptop chargers all around the house so I always have one available for my laptop, phone and Steam Deck.
Another tip: even if your laptop charger isn’t USB C, you can get a converter to make it a PD USB charger for a couple of £.

- Comment on Is there any privacy-friendly way to use Facebook on iOS? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know anything about iOS, but I use FB on Android for the marketplace. I keep a prepaid sim card for giving a phone number to accounts like this. I throw away the sim every few years and burn the accounts and make new ones. FB is used from a browser in a seperate work profile on the phone to keep it isolated.
This sub obviously has a strong reaction against FB. But if you need to use it then put up what defended you can and go for it.
- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 1 month ago:
I love Linux. I’ve moved both my PC and laptop to Linux this year and gotten rid of Windows completely and I’m loving it. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed doesn’t get enough love.
That being said… Linux is not easy guys. This guy is full of shit. But I would still recommend trying it if you’re an enthusiast with this sort of inclination.

I’m keen to make a handwired macro board, but the learning curve of programming of QMK from scratch is not something I’m prepared to deal with right now.
- Comment on How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
Handwired keyboards with a Raspberry Pi or Arduino are achievable: github.com/joe-scotto/scottokeebs
I’ve made 2 keyboards with kits (see my post history) and it was good fun and an easy way to get a QMK compatible custom board. Would recommend.

There’s research that shows that even when 2 people are talking about very simple matters, the their mental models of the issue and interpretations of the subject are completely different the vast majority of the time. There was an interesting podcast about it that I’ll try to dig out from months of history in my podcast app.

- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks 2 months ago:
I have an anti-glare LCD version. My brother has a glossy OLED version. I would recommend going for the glossy version and using an anti-glare screen protector if you feel the need. Then you’ve got the option for either.
- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong shows very clearly Valve are selling a lot of Steam Decks 2 months ago:
The Steam Deck + OLED revision are pretty recent and nowhere near the age of a normal console cycle. The OLED revision was a pretty big upgrade and <1 year old. The internet is already desperate for a Deck 2? Valve could print money by doing what phone manufacturers do with miniscule yearly upgrades and forever creeping price. People would fall over themselves to avoid FOMO for the newest console. I’m really glad Valve is doing better than that.

- Comment on How to treat a man 2 months ago:
A lot of changes is society have come up in the last couple of generations. Changes equality, sexual freedoms, modern parenting, men’s roles at home, women’s role at work, etc. Many of my parent’s generation really do not know the first things about changing roles and expectations of the sexes and what people of the current generation want. Most people I know of that generation are (mildly to extremely) socially conservative. I get along great with my parents and I happily welcome them to live with me for 5 months of the year every year… But I would never have the teach anyone in my generation the lessons from their generation.
