We have to clarify every time something is American? People don’t even realize because, well, it’s so normal to an American. It’s not like it’s done spitefully.

08 Toyota FJ so we likely had the same sequence ✊
- Comment on They won't teach you this in Drivers Ed 6 months ago:
You joke but my old FJ Cruiser requires you to turn the key to accessory, turn it off, turn the key back to accessory, open and close the door three times, turn the key back off, turn the key to accessory while holding the odometer reset button for 5 seconds and then it will enter pairing mode for the remote fob.
It made me feel the same joy as pressing the option on my Android phone 5 times to enter development mode back in the mid 2010s but it gets old quick.

If I’m going to be relaying through to people strictly over text as much as I do these days, I better have a way to articulate it with the right emotional range to match my sparkling personality ✨

- Comment on Some Questions about the Fediverse 6 months ago:
I find it’s going to need to get even more coonvenient for the general public to be interested in it. Federation almost needs to be a ‘background’ process that the end user doesn’t really need to deal with. Otherwise, it’ll be a little too complicated or obscure to comprehend for most. I know it isn’t rocet science but we’re talking about the general public, here.
- Comment on Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 support 6 months ago:
When you have to deal with quirks (and Adobe just progressively adding more ‘quirks’ to overcome) to use the programs you need to make your living, your initial claim of ‘just use Linux!’ still sounds like an unhelpful answer. I mean I use Linux daily but I still need to work in an ecosystem.
Regarding Picasso, use whatever for personal art but people use the “industry standard” so they know any of their colleagues can use my deliverable for anything they should need to is a novel thing. I have plenty of personal experience why deviating causes problems where you least expect it to. It’s a shitty monopoly but I’m glad you have a means that allows you to work outside of it (keep doing it, it’s a good thing!)
- Comment on Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 support 6 months ago:
Sure, but when I’m a cog in a bigger machine I need to prioritize my work being able to be continued by others or else I’ll be stuck making every single change on it that needs to be made in the future. The architecture we use to use the same PSD on AE projects and embedded webapps is essential to the system functioning as needed. Many, if not most places follow that same line of thinking and using a separate program that isn’t intended for that inner-platform use. It might be kool-aid but it’s a problem bigger than what OS I’d like to use.

Boss: “make sure you include a PSD and AI file in your package” Me, a Linux user: “uhhhh”
- Comment on People are speaking with ChatGPT for hours, bringing 2013’s Her closer to reality 6 months ago:
Awesome perspective! I’ve worked with and around seriously depressed, possession hoarders for around a year and quite the majority were the type to call you randomly ultimately to chat about something or another. The exact priming situation that would fall into abusing LLM tech if offered easy access to it. This was before the days of Chatgpt but I do worry some of my old clients are falling into this situation but with far less nuance than your friend.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 6 months ago:
Espresso powder definitely has a better coffee flavor and I’d use that if allowed but instant still works well for quick work and light flavors. Always have some on hand for camping :)

Not them but adding it to cakes, cookies, macrons, etc like cocoa powder does the job wonderfully in my cases.

I hate to be pedantic with naming/spelling but it’s silly to speak as an authority when you have no idea what you’re talking about…

Favorite OS be damned when you have a fiscal consequence. Switching to Linux full time will cost me money at the end of it and I can’t justify that until it costs me more to NOT switch to Linux.

It does the same job but when you’re using it constantly the small QOL things really matter.
