Unsure if joke or not, ha. I don’t even remember what I set in my bio for FL, its been a couple years since I set that account up…

Why make 4 cylinder engines when you can get 12 cylinder engines instead?

(cost, hardware requirements or restrictions, use case…)

This grinds my gears any time that a product is touted as lasting X time. Did you put it through a typical use case or scenario for that X time? No? Then you cannot definitively say that it will last that long.

Based on their bullshit statement, I can last 7 years pounding someone’s ass relentlessly without pause for any reason. Trust me bro.

My Pixel dis/enables it on a press. Long press for devices.

(the joke here is getting fined for driving a car and yet the cyclist is, in fact, not in a car)

Drunk cyclist: oh no! what will I do for transportation now?

DC: wait

42, says an online calculator

And yet lots of it is hoarded by people who think that being shiny and heavy are qualities that are worth lots of money

“this rock I found is special” “why?” “it’s shiny and heavy”

And some poor dumbass was like “fuck yeah gimme that shit”. Same with jewelery…

Let me know when my phone starts generating shit, so I can promptly light it on fire. Until then, I’ll be over here making out with it. Come here baby, give me some of that nasty 5G wavelengths. Oh yeah, that always gets me going~ a little tongue in the USB port and 💦

This but having a 5G modem.

I went through over a dozen distros before sighing and accepting Kubuntu.

See my other comment :p

Yeah, lol, I figured it wasn’t a real thing but search turned up this immediately: https://www.getinboxzero.com/

Okay, I was curious what Inbox Zero is, and I went ‘ew’ at the ‘ai’ angle, but then I fucking lost it when I got to the prices. They want $18 a month (per user) on the annual plan, to:

• basically tags your email, which you can set up yourself using folders, and probably near identical through gmail or something
• get ai replies written up for you… which I think gmail also does now
• ‘blocks cold emails’ which is just the spam filter with a fresh coat of paint
• ‘bulk unsubscibed / archive’… you can do that in most modern email clients? I guess not in bulk but how many shitty newsletters and promos do you subscribe to, really?
• and an ‘analysis’ of your email…?

I do everything except the ai replies through cpanel and my email client, for free. Fucking hell, that’s almost 3x what I pay for my web/email hosting. And I don’t have to prepay for a year of service, and I get way more granular control over incoming messages. That service is highway robbery, and they have 15k users?! What the actual fuck. $18 a year, kinda high, but a fucking month…

You win this time, bigger thing!

So we made lossy the norm, but - let me blow your mind - what if we make lossy BIGGER?

The AI was the shitty code we wrote along the way

Not personal, just venting.

As someone who arrrr’d CoD4, MW2, a couple others I don’t remember, and then a friend bought me BO3 for the co-op zombies last year (and my god that menu system is a massive piece of shit), I tried the public beta of 7 like a month ago…

I had to make an account, agree to… 5, I think, different bullshit terms of fuck-you-pay-me, enable SB, figure out the awful menu system again (I’m noticing a trend here), and while the zombies mode was… tolerable, it’s basically the same thing as prior games, just with a new price tag. And, what particularly grinds my gears (assuming the list thus far isn’t bad enough), you cannot download the entire game? Like it requires you to stream it. I have a 4TB raid0 PCIe (add-on style) nvme card, unless the game is a literal terabyte+, I want a full copy. That drive was literally $999 when I got it a few years ago, “I paid for the entire thing and I want to use the entire thing”. Let the console players use their bandwidth to temporarily cache shit, but I have the fucking space, piss off.

Fast forward 10 years when the servers shutter and the game you paid for is missing fucking necessary assets and is thus bricked in a new moronic way. Oh, you wanted to play single player? Hook up for some LAN fun? Nah fuck you, content not available. Retry?

And this shit is $80 base? “I remember when” angry grandpa but they can get fucked. You want $80 for a game that will die in a decade, and I should be grateful for the privilege? Thank you sir, may I 'ave some more?

Maybe I’ll fire up CoD4 again, me and a friend against aimbotting bots. Fun, all local, and Activision can’t nuke it at the flick of a switch.
