The excessive fees.
- Comment on I wonder if the spice girls still get along or if that "friendship never ends" thing was just a lie. 1 week ago:
It feels like the Vikings are always getting away with this stuff. I mean I can’t recall the last time I read a report where a Vikings was apprehended and/or charged with a crime. I doubt that this Spice Girl incident will be any different :-(
- Comment on The kid asks a great question 1 month ago:
They’re not fresh. The fairy demands the freshest teeth but long ago ancient humans made a pact with the tooth fairy. In exchange for humanity to cease its hunt of the tooth fairy, the TF will stop hunting children in their sleep to pursue the freshest and most desirable teeth. Centuries later, with the advent of capitalism, the humans rebelled and demanded compensation for the teeth to be given to the children. The TF, seeing the advancement of human warfare capacity quickly agreed to a small stipend per child in order to continue its harvesting.
- Comment on When it comes to saving, Gen Z asks: 'What’s the point?' That's dangerous, expert says 1 month ago:
Their share of disposable income is incredibly low. Picture someone 40 years ago with a much higher percentage of disposable income, of course they would be more into saving…they were able to save AND actually buy stuff once in a while. Gen Z has the option of saving OR paying rent.

They don’t want you to know about the dish gnomes forced to work in tight spaces under terrible conditions.
- Comment on Developer Builds Tool That Scrapes YouTube Comments, Uses AI to Predict Where Users Live 1 month ago:
I like to throw out a random y’all just to throw off scrapers like this. In my mind, they’ll either think I’m in the southern US or just get confused.
- Comment on AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid 1 month ago:
That’s the claim from like every AI company and wow do I hope that’s what happens. Maybe I’m just a Luddite with AI. I really hope I’m wrong since it’s here to stay.

Yeah that’s a big part of it…shifting off the stuff that we don’t think is important (and probably isn’t). My view is that it’s escalated to where I’m using my phone calculator for stuff I did in my head in high school (I was a cashier in HS so it was easy)…which is also not a big deal but getting a little bigger than the phone number thing. From there, what if I used it to leverage a new programming API as opposed to using the docs site. Probably not a big deal but bigger than the calculator thing to me. My point is that it’s all these little things that don’t individually matter but together add up to some big changes in the way we think. We are outsourcing our thinking which would be helpful if we used the free capacity for higher level thinking but I’m not sure if we will.

This is the next step towards Idiocracy. I use AI for things like Summarizing zoom meetings so I don’t need to take notes and I can’t imagine I’ll stop there in the future. It’s like how I forgot everyone’s telephone numbers once we got cell phones…we used to have to know numbers back then. AI is a big leap in that direction. I’m thinking the long term effects are all of us just getting dumber and shifting more and more “little unimportant “ things to AI until we end up in an Idiocracy scene. Sadly I will be there with everyone else.
- Comment on Apple Watch Shipments’ Continuous Decline 2 months ago:
I’ve had an Apple Watch 5 since it came out and I see no reason to upgrade. The only thing I really dislike is the battery life but to fix that you’d need to get a Garmin or similar. So can’t think of a reason I would upgrade.
- Comment on U.S. seeks breakup of Google's ad-tech products after judge finds illegal monopoly 2 months ago:
I wonder what happens to Google without the advertising monopoly. They kill off everything else they build so realistically they are just an ad company at this point which offers a declining search engine. While they won’t be dethroned anytime soon in search, they keep making it worse so I have to imagine it won’t be gaining users. If they did break it out, maybe that will improve search.
- Comment on Microsoft removes Windows 11 24H2 official support on 8th 9th 10th Gen Intel CPUs 5 months ago:
I actually haven’t played anything on PC since o got the Steam Deck a couple years ago so I’m covered on that front. My last major challenge is going to be music production. Reaper works on Linux and my audio interface works on Linux but I have like 20 audio VST plugins that need to be checked and I’m guessing almost none will work on Linux. So, considering my hardware will no longer be supported I have to find alternative Linux friendly versions. Realistically, I just need to switch to only built in Reaper plugins.

Just realized my 10400 is on the list there. That’s not good. Not sure what they’re expecting from folk but I’m not buying a new windows PC so my options are Linux (probably) and a Mac laptop for my DAW as Linux plugin support is limited

I did not know that! Learned something new and that Firefox on iPhone doesn’t know what to do with it.
