i like when people use big words cause then i can learn a new word. it’s nice knowing words to say stuff with

lemon balm tea & chamomile tea are magical. weed and podcasts are huge helps with the constant night ruminating

daguerreotype, mesmerizing

lol the wife’s annoyed smile

That’s a perfect way to put it. I remember starting college and being really excited about the cloud, having my stuff accessible anywhere, changes automatically saved, etc etc. but now I don’t want any of my shit anywhere near their servers, it’s mine and mine alone and I’ll manage it myself and buffer against losses the best I can. I’d rather have myself fuck up and break a hard drive rather than let microsoft or apple wipe my stuff over a bug or because I didn’t pay them enough. Horrible, misleading bullshit.

“superior attitude” is an obnoxious way to describe someone rebelling against shitty rules because they have standards. “you’re not special” etc is the usual bullshit I get – and of course I am not – what I think we rightfully think is that nobody should be beholden to shitty practices and standards.

if you watch steve jobs’ 2007 iphone keynote it’s incredibly depressing now. he brags about how the iphone can load full, rich webpages instead of awful mobile versions; he loads the NYT website and gets the whole lush landscape desktop version, and taps to zoom in on certain elements. i used to be such a dork and so into tech in high school, it seemed so promising and wondrous.

i bet jobs could’ve yelled at spez about the API changes and gotten him to relent

but just roll it out everywhere, if it’s such a forward thinking company. i don’t understand where this precedent came from – you can of course install whatever you want on macs. what makes phones different in that regard?

it’d be easier to brush your teeth if you didn’t have any teeth

because we are a stupid, prudish, and vain country. we don’t want people to enjoy jerking off too much, nor do we want to reverse the trend of mutilation, which would make the old guard feel like they’re the broken ones

i really hate how they call it a ‘library’, very disingenuous if it’s all on their servers and predicated on their fucking license agreements

what if real libraries had to throw away books because harpercollins got pissy. would anyone stand for it? (probably yes)

honestly i have an oculus and simply blowing up a standard 16:9 video works perfectly fine

my allergies got better as i lived with cats longer. either way it’s more put-up-with-able than not having a cat

is there a ralph’s around here?

thank you - it’s very hard continually coming up with perky, happy sounding chat up lines and sending them off into the ether with little response. how do i even know how well i’m doing?

gotta have clouds for the clouds to break

it’s ridiculous how much anxiety i get about work then once i force myself to start working i feel way better in like 5 seconds. look at me i’m Contributing to Society!

everyone knows this. not everyone has access to Proper Healthcare. surely a crowd sourced answer you can google to verify is better than nothing

damn remember when lemmy was cool
