My hands are bone dry and this works. Try harder.

Sure seemed like one from the amount of fucking goddamn hype it got.

It was dumb, but at least it was semi-fun dumb. Thank goodness they never made any more Matrix movies after the first one.

shut up shut up shut up shut up no they didn’t shut up shut up

Why do both of the Spider-Man animated movies look like they’re something like 15 frames per second? It actually made me sort of nauseous to watch them when things were moving around really fast.

OT lightsaber fights looked like people who practiced the idea of “less is more” combat and knew pointless flailing and twirling around was useless against a similarly skilled opponent. This MADE SENSE. Everyone in the prequels flipping around and going nuts with the lightsabers and all that – it was laughable. Even Luke in the OT who wasn’t as skilled as some of the so-called “masters” from the prequels used at least some restraint and thought when fighting.

The prequels are garbage and I’m sick of people who think they’re good just because we made memes out of them.

There Will Be Blood. Wooden acting, almost nothing happens, the soundtrack is earsplitting noise, but everyone loves it because of the “milkshake” meme at the end.

Fuck that movie. Walked out on it halfway through, read about what “happened” afterwards later (spoiler: fucking nothing) and regret nothing.

Come on.

1. Find correct end of bag, bag will tell you which is correct

2. Place that end of bag between your (dry, not breathed on, non-disgusting) palms

3. Rub back and forth a few times

4. Enjoy your open bag

Why is your decimal a comma and the separator a full stop? A comma continues a thought just like it continues a number, and a full stop (period) separates sentences, much like it separates a whole and fractional part of a number. Your system is ass-backwards and you fucking know it. You should be ashamed of it.

Buy an internet ad that tells people the damn dollar sign goes BEFORE the number.

The fact that almost the entire internet is controlled by those evil companies is really fucking sad. I remember the old days when people, you know, hosted their own shit and used manual load balancing to keep large sites up and working.

You… do know how computers connect to each other, right? I hope this is sarcasm. But these days unless it’s specifically stated, it’s usually not, just a bunch of dumb kids who can’t understand how the internet works.

And then the dumb kid realizes he’s dumb and says “uh yeah, sarcasm, duh, didn’t you know i was joking, hahahahaha, yep, I knew, of course I did!” when he totally didn’t.

But regardless of the fucking point, no one wants to use these big business trash that is ruining the internet.

antiquated permission system from the 1970s

Sorry, but it just works and is much simpler, direct, and useful for desktop systems than the rat’s nest that is NTFS permissions that was created for big business use with several groups of people with different access needs even among the groups instead of just simple, effective permissions that works with desktops and regular servers.

Supporting Microsoft and Windows now is just an admission that you have ignored all of the bad decisions, laughable security, bad engineering, and marketing over technology trash Microsoft has delivered since day one. It’s time to abandon Windows and use a real OS. There is no longer a “pro” for Windows now that they’re trying to screw over their users from every single direction.

Yep. It was mostly a joke. Mostly. The bungled adoption of v6 plus all the ways we can still leverage v4 is what’s keeping v6 from being adopted any time soon, but one day we’re going to have to rip off the band-aid and just go for it. Sure, v6 is going to bring its own issues and weirdness, but FUTURE!

Go outside in 40°C weather for a bit, come back inside, sit in front of air conditioner, be just fine in a couple of minutes

Go outside in even 10°C weather for a second, come back inside, freezing to death even in front of a heater for an hour because cold or even very cool weather chills me to the bone and it takes forever for me to get warm again

Yeah, I prefer summer.

The point is it’s just poorly done automated adjustment of what should be done manually on your monitor, and it’s a laughable overpriced scam meant to take money out of the pockets of people who fall for tech buzzwords.

Enjoy your BSOD and Microsoft stealing all your data, then.

Working in computing for years and this is what I’ve heard

2000: IPv4 is about to dry up, we really need to start moving to v6!

2005: OH NO THE SKY IS FALLING IPv4 IS ALMOST GONE! IPv6 IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO OR THE INTERNET WILL DIE!

2010: WE’RE SERIOUS THIS TIME IPv6 NEEDS TO BE A THING RIGHT NOW! HELP!

2015: Yeah, okay, NAT has served us well so far, but we can only take it so far, we really need v6 to be the standard in the next 5-10 years or we’re in trouble!

2020: Um… guys? IPv6? Hello? Anyone? crickets

2024: IPv6ers are now the vegans of networking

this may or may not be satire, just laugh if unsure

NTFS permissions are just needlessly complicated and convoluted and create more problems than they solve for desktop use. They’re more for server use, but then again, so are ACLs on Linux. If Windows would just use simple permissions like Linux does, it’d be a hell of a lot better.

The Windows store is also a sandboxed, heavily restricted pile of trash you can’t even get at for most of its apps. And Winget has so many issues from its install scripts not working right to just being outright broken that it’s not worth using. Even flatpak installs can be easily modified and used normally.

The excuses for using obsolete Windows continues by its paid shills and brainwashed users. Give it up.

Bullshit, paid Windows shill. Even a brand new, high end PC on a fast internet with a fresh (non-OEM full of crap) install of Windows takes LITERALLY SEVERAL HOURS to fully update and often even minor updates will take at least an hour depending on what’s being updated.

Don’t give me that shit. You know it’s a lie. Windows is trash.

our systems

Guaranteed all of your backend systems are running Linux. If not, holy hell why.

our people aren’t trained on that

Oh no, pointy-clicky on things on a desktop is so hard to train for people who have used an OS where you… um… pointy-clicky on things on a desktop. Whatever shall we do.

Excuses. All I hear from people who want to keep obsolete, trash, laughable, insecure Windows.
