i hate how this “best performers” rhetoric always comes out in WFH discussion. everyone should be able to work from home if it’s better for them regardless of if they’re The Best at their dunder-mifflin ass job

extras, commentaries, it’s nice seeing your favorite films on a shelf

i try to put in the disc, hit play, and just walk away so i miss all the garbage and the paragraphs warning me about prison time. kinda kills the mood

i love getting scolded about voting when even if I personally managed to pull off a miracle and convert one thousand people to vote for biden, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.

yeah no fucking shit, can we stop pretending this system is effective or worth defending?

- Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough 4 months ago:
imagine showing this post to someone in 1995
shit has gotten too bloated these days. i mean even in my head 8GB still sounds like ‘a lot’ of RAM and 16GB feels extravagant
- Comment on 38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible a decade later 5 months ago:
disgusting. it’s like early TV where people thought it was low-rent crap and not worth saving.
it always seems impractical to store this stuff but then it goes away and you realize how much you’re missing.
- Comment on Going insane watching conservatives realize that sometimes cops go insane for no good reason 5 months ago:
but if a guy’s just driving on a road he isn’t supposed to be on, is trying to break into the car really part of the protocol on that? surely at least drive after him or just radio the plate or something, it’s just a event security for a golf tournament, it’s not the president speaking
- Comment on Going insane watching conservatives realize that sometimes cops go insane for no good reason 5 months ago:
it would take someone particularly stupid, even for a cop, to try to stop a moving car by grabbing the door handle and then maintaining grip on the handle while getting dragged by a moving car
i can’t even blame scheffler for being panicked and just hitting the gas reflexively there, i dunno what i would do if a guy with a gun was trying to break into my car despite me having an all access pass to the area

- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 5 months ago:
I literally watch TV through a capture card right now out of stubbornness and principle. Anything I want to record, I can just hit a button and safely keep. No DRM preventing me from taking screenshots, I can manipulate the picture to hide obnoxious graphics or ads (great for sports); the sense of control is extremely gratifying.
- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 5 months ago:
When record companies make a fuss about the danger of “piracy”, they’re not talking about violent attacks on shipping. What they complain about is the sharing of copies of music, an activity in which millions of people participate in a spirit of cooperation. The term “piracy” is used by record companies to demonize sharing and cooperation by equating them to kidnaping, murder and theft.
- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 5 months ago:
i tried to get into streaming but i grew increasingly uncomfortable with paying forever as titles appear and disappear at the whim of suits. how could that possibly be a pleasant UX for customers?
i’d take the hassle of having discs or managing a server any day of the week over paying these goons for access to their files which they happily negotiate away for financial reasons. it’s just a disgusting paradigm. when netflix was starting streaming, i thought (i was like 15) we were emerging into a great new age, where every show you could ever want was on one beautiful service.
now they won’t even let you share accounts or screenshot the fucking show (a pig-headed anti-piracy measure which is mind-blowingly stupid given every single show on there is available for free if you know where to look ANYWAY. what are they DOING.)
fuck streaming, fuck netflix, fuck spotify. crash and burn. topple like the house of cards you are.
- Comment on Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds 6 months ago:
the most insulting part of this is ‘people’ suddenly pretending like we love and always loved the office, when it’s been a fundamental symbol of stagnation and boredom and misery in culture ever since they became widespread. NO ONE would voluntary want to spend 5 days in a shitty building after a commute wearing clothes they don’t want to with bosses sniffing around their necks all day leaving maybe 4 hrs a day to yourself in your home. ‘top talent’ or not, everyone deserves to be able to work where they feel most comfortable.

rich, high-intent product conversations
these people make me so fucking sick i cannot
i cannot believe this site i spent so many sad years posting on in high school, with pure heart, posting purely out of a desire for interesting interactions and the potential to make insightful, peer-reviewed contributions that others could enjoy, has turned into such fucking dead-eyed garbage.

even lemmy has astroturfing. i guarantee reddit’s push to tighten API usage etc was partially to ensure only paid / approved astroturfing was possible
- Comment on Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature 8 months ago:
i started using tree style tabs which was absolutely life changing. best computer memory i’ve had in years, it’s a far more logical and space-friendly way to keep lots of tabs open and still be able to read the titles. i feel like specifically grouping adds too much overhead - i have to think about which group to put each into, and think (even a little bit) about where to find it later
- Comment on Reddit wants to raise $748M with IPO, sets value at $6.4B 8 months ago:
the way they took away awards, even old awards, was so fucking stupid and demeaning to the site as a whole. i don’t see anyone using awards at all anymore
- Comment on literally me 8 months ago:
i really hate that shit where they intentionally cut the movie in a really shitty annoying confusing way just to make the story ostensibly more cOmPleX rather than just writing something good and relying on its strength like a normal good film
the prestige really pissed me off
