Succinctly it means “I’m going to get rid of you by restricting your ability to get near me, whether by your own will, or physical assault/death.”

Wouldn’t they need to continue to collect taxes in order to fund maintenance and staff wages?

You know, you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

I respect your technical smartass response to my technical smartass check attempt.

If you are in North America and you draw a line straight up, will you reach the sky in Australia?

I find way too many people talking about “common sense” as if that was even a thing. It frustrates me to no end.

I was actually surprised to see some of it baked into Plasma - the jello windows, the desktop cube, the “explode the window when I close it” and a few other things.

With all the political shit going on these days, it baffles me why companies continue to use anything that stores data in cloud servers owned by American companies. I don’t care where the data centres actually are, the parent company is foreign and aside from “trust me bro” I’m not sure what else is preventing them from snooping sensitive information.

The thing that used to always piss me off was when you tried to upscale stuff in Photoshop and it looked perfect. Then you bit enter and it anti-aliases the absolute fuck out of it. Like what?!

I’m not sure I follow. LibreOffice is at least as good (if not better) than Offics365 unless maybe if you’re doing advanced shit in Excel, or need specifically coded macros.

Considering Microsoft’s push to make everything into a webwrapped application, I think LibreOffice is only going to be a better and better alternative as time moves on.

Same though haha. I liked the ability to stick a window to the back of another window. I used to have Pidgin chats on one side, and the contact list on the other.

These days it could be handy to have a browser on side and an incognito on session on the other. Could also be handy if you launch a program from the terminal but you want to keep an eye on it, you could stick its terminal behind it.

I switched over to Floorp a month or so ago - it’s pretty good. My only gripes are:

1. The tabs are really hard to distinguish between the active tab and the inactive tabs
2. If you have session stuff in the sidebar, it seems to “forget” about it and I constantly have to sign into stuff.

The other day I set up a shell script on my phone that I can hook into with Tasker. I share a YouTube link to it and I can rip the audio to my music folder, or the video to my videos folder. Basically, I can turn YouTube videos into podcasts on the fly.

Microsoft “Why do you need folders when you can just dump everything in the root of the folder!” OneDrive

I love that Joplin covers all grounds - all the way down to a terminal-based version. I’ve been thinking about switching over to it from Vimwiki

It’s been around for like ever. Used to be called XMBC

I remember fucking around with Compiz back when it was still called Beryl. It was I think just before Window Vista came out? My computer was too shit for Vista, but had no problem with Beryl - wobbly windows, app previews when you hover the taskbar icon, stackable windows, desktop cube, etc.

I fucking hate YAML. Everything about it is shit. I have no idea why it exists. “Oop, my config failed because I accidentally used an extra tab” should not be a thing.

Anybody that uses any of that shit can get fucked. KDL, too. I almost used Zellij until I saw how brain-dead their config system was.

A few years ago I used the Spotipy Python library to poke at Spotify’s API. I was able to scrape my playlists into CSVs with it.

If I cared more, I could probably hit up YouTube with those CSVs and try to make playlists on there out of them, but I never got that far lol

Yes, and I really wish cops would aggressive ticket every motherfucker who doesn’t. ESPECIALLY the fucking morons who switch lanes without them, but when they’re in the turning lane with literal no other option, THEN they fucking find their blinker.

Like hello fuckwit, I’m not a damn psychic, but thank you so fucking much for using that blinker in the least important place of everywhere your dumb ass drove.

There is 0 scenario where a blinker should be used that I won’t use it, and fuck anybody who doesn’t use theirs. If you can’t handle the simple act of flicking a stick with your finger, you sure as fuck shouldn’t be able to operate a land torpedo.

This is very well put. Sometimes it can be fun to hang out with the current gen teenagers just to make fun of eachother and laugh at the differences in our generations, but also to gain some respect for eachother too. But why would any adult want to date somebody whose biggest life issues are high school grades and part time jobs? They’re not even old enough to vote or be concerned about living costs or adult problems. This isn’t saying that their current problems aren’t big deals - in the scope of things, they are completely valid and big concerns - but when you enter adulthood, you have bigger things to worry about.
