I’m sorry. Are you a mod here? You’re just bitching that you didn’t get exactly what you wanted served on a platter.

I’m assuming you were going for “petty,” not rhapsodizing about the UI on the error.

So, you’re going with the slippery slope: There are so many other problems, why worry about a new one?

I’m homeless and struggle to afford food, so I’m aware of the larger issues in play. The problem here is that we’re adding a new one atop societal decay. Handwaving each new fuckup away is how we succumb to a future without agency.

Now is the time to be shouting from the rooftops, not giving up.

I’m an old guy (started with Photoshop 5 – not CS5; 5), and GIMP has never felt like software trying to help me accomplish a goal. It’s the vi of image editors.

Just accepting how fucked things are does not advance change. Others being concerned about it benefits you, so I’m not sure what you’re complaining about.

Are you actually claiming that I should be providing a video summary? Like, that’s in my wheelhouse, but I’m not on the clock, so apologies that you had to click the link.

Not really sure where you’re coming from. If you don’t want to watch a video … like, maybe, just don’t? I was attempting to provide solutions. And “a guy reads from a script” is literally how videos are made, so that’s a weird flex.

Steve has really come into his own as EIC in the past two years, and the channel (which I used to ignore) is much better for it. Come for the stats, stay for the biting political commentary.

There’s a reason I’m still rocking CS6. Fuck you for wanting me to pay monthly.

You can always click on the transcript on YouTube if you’d prefer to read. If you then need it summarized, that’s one of the things LLMs are actually (mostly) useful for.

Because of course they did.

I mean, I’m going to drop or sit on the thing in half that time. But allow a man to dream …

I’m of the same mind. I did make an exception for a Pixel 9a because, well, that seven years of updates starts from the day it went on sale, so shaving a few years off that for minimal savings didn’t seem ideal.

Oh, I drink lots of beer while not wanting to call attention to my rave on wheels.

Pouring one out for Soyo … damn, were those some solid motherboards.

Calm down. The phone jack isn’t coming back.

My god … the U.S. intervening in Central America? Where’s my fainting couch?

Oregon has had a law on the books for decades that grocers need to price everything the same within a given region. This is part of how grocery circulars are practical. The added expense of printing a different flyer for each store (and then working with the paper to zone correctly, but single-copy is still going to be an issue) negated the increased income from store-to-store pricing that allowed for high margins in some cases.

I don’t remember the last time I looked at a grocery ad – wait, no, I do … it was May 2023 – so this is of less relevance as we transition to apps, but this doesn’t really seem to be about collecting personal data so much as “prices vary geographically,” which isn’t really news.

Wait until you hear about the efficiency of ICEs! (The cars, not the trains.)

Usually, for a promotional interview, one would switch to High German. Hearing dialect definitely took me back, given two of my uncles (and my late dad) speak Zurituutsch.

I was a tutor at the UW Math Study Center my first year of college. I’d gotten my hair bleached for the first time, and it turned out orange. So I shaved it off and started over.

We could bring a book to read between requests for help (this is, after all, 1997), and I’d just picked up Mein Kampf. As it happened, people seemed uninterested in asking a guy with a shaved head reading Hitler for help.
