that’s very interesting, thank you for sharing!

this comment genuinely reminded me that i need to both find my choker and finish installing linux on my x230t

punycode domains fucking rule! registrars ignore the shortening, so you can get a single character domain like ツ.gay for a pittance. there’s some non-english TLDs that resolve through punycode as well. generally they’ll have some SOLID english words that haven’t yet been taken, like butts.移动

i own both of those by the way. ツ.gay will take you to the new onehundredninetysix community, and butts.移动 goes to my favorite youtube video!

try thrifting if that’s an option near you!

babe i’ve given BOTH of us a great idea. i’ve still got my very first big ass CRT. i’d love to give it life again.

bonus points if you reuse the old DVI hookup as a video out. TIL regular-ass DVI can handle 1920x1200 @ 60hz!

do folks do pc builds inside of old CRT cases? that seems like a niche that should exist.

there’s something so funny about them both being apple products, but the offending party getting the disrespect of “this stupid antique computer”

i’ve got an ad-blocking DNS on home network and my phone, i use youtube revanced, i’ve even got a fucken apk patcher to strip ad shit out of mobile games. it’s WILD to me how tolerant people are of ads. like anytime someone’s showing me a video on their phone and an ad plays, i have to do a little mental math on whether it’ll be annoying or mutually beneficial to just start playing the video on my phone instead.

and it takes such little effort to get rid of them! i’m constantly offering to teach people how to use patchers or revanced, folks are just like “nah it doesn’t bother me” MAN, HOW? sponsorblock alone is a goddamn godsend, sometimes more than 30% of a video is just ads and self promotion! how does anyone happily throw away their time like that‽

Windows 10/11 really make the surface line feel sub-premium IMO, but you’re absolutely right that the hardware is pretty fucken solid.

the type covers are pretty ass though, i’d pay good money for a surface keyboard that’s like 5x thicker and has actual real switches.

I think starting a sentence with “For those like me” is a pretty clear indication that someone is speaking for themself

e: i’m just being catty btw, it’s a totally fine use of the phrase

I wonder how much overhead Shadows of Doubt spends just on maintaining all the NPC schedules, gotta be some room for optimization there.

“The social rating figures don’t affect [a person’s] life, the availability of services or the career trajectory in any way, but who knows what these figures will mean for you in the future?”

What does that even mean? You can’t say “they won’t affect you” and also “who knows how they will affect you?”

I make that same mistake enough that at this point I figure I’m just contributing to the paradigm shift of modern english grammar.

Making the oxford comma mandatory is my next big target.

In defense of Andrew, until windows 10 never had I ever installed a program that made it’s own files untouchable unless you did some real fuckery with permissions.

As soon as they introduced that little warning screen in program files it was clear shit was going downhill for power users.

every month i send off $10k for “the benefit and continued development of rickyrigatoni” and you’re telling me you work for FREE?

who’s been cashing the checks, ricky?
