  • I posted just now about this to someone else but I just updated my Raspberry Pi imager and the new UI is horrible, convoluted, and had scroll bars hidden by default with no way to show their MINUSCULE TINY ASSES without hovering over their one-pixel-wide bullshit bars ughhh

  • I JUST updated Raspberry Pi imager and the new UI is a huge step back… and it has the TINIEST scroll bars that don’t even exist until you try to mouse over everything! I hate it so much.

  • I saw a “NO SMORKING” sign on Engrish dot com circa 2001 or so

  • Today it’s Pokémon AND drug fun!

  • 18/14 for me! I knew wayyyy more of the drugs than Tolkien characters—80% of my Tolkien answers were lucky guesses!

  • Supporting giant evil DOES sometimes get you free stuff… I know folks who have accidentally been shipped multiple of what they’re ordering (in two cases, the items were quite expensive) and when they’ve brought it up, they were told to keep the extras.

    Maybe not worth the evil, but hey, free stuff is cool.

  • Good on you for starting that up! I wish you much success in your mixing and/or producing journey!

  • I love my iPhone, I’ve been using them for like 12 years (I loved Android but switched when physical keyboards stopped exiting cuz I liked iOS’s keyboard a lot, then fell in love with most of the rest of the OS and how long I could keep my phone for before replacing.)

    The one thing I absolute hate is the App Store. It’s insane. It’s so counter to the rest of Apple’s “simple stuff that works” … “ethos”. I use VERY few apps, I only have a couple installed on my phone. Say I want one, though. I open the App Store right now. Main page it dumps me on: 75% of the screen is a Tinder ad (I’ve never used a dating app and I’ve been with my partner for 15 years.) The rest of the screen space below that is a Google Gemini ad (I don’t use any Google products or services anymore, wtf Apple?)

    I click on the “Games” tab below and it’s an EXTREMELY busy, loud, colorful assault on my senses. Absolutely not! The “Apps” tab isn’t any better, huge ads take up 50% of the screen and below that, GET TIKTOK AND TINDER. Uhhhh no, never.

    Okay, let’s go to search. Click, and it gives me a search box at the bottom with some suggested apps and games I might like. I can appreciate that Apple’s data collection is allegedly a lot lighter than other companies, because none of the suggested shit is anything I would ever touch in my life. Let’s download one of the very few games I have on my phone: Ascension, a deck building game. I type “ascension game” and the first result is an AD FOR A WEIRD MEDICAL APP THAT DOESN’T SAY ASCENSION ANYWHERE AND HAS 70 REVIEWS WHYYYYY?!

    An absolute mess compared to the mostly great layouts of their other programs on the iPhone. I do not love the latest iPhoto UI change but I can deal with that. The App Store is fucked.

  • At first I read “Wired West” and got hopeful for a new person experiencing Dust for the first time.

  • Ewwwww nice. I’ll continue avoiding those hahaha.

    My office has a nugget ice dispenser, they got it about six months ago.. I’ll never stop using that when I stop by there, even when it’s disgusting. Nugget ice is the best thing ever.

  • Oooo why’s that? Disgusting ice machines? I only ever get takeout so I never get store drinks, but I used to always get lots ice as a kid cuz I loved to chew it.

  • My partner and I have definitely each popped lumps that have come up on each other’s grundles.

    (I know you’re not supposed to, but we don’t care, it’s fun and they went away)

  • I have lost four friends and more acquaintances to suicide, ranging from ages 14 to 26. Relationships with parents ranged from very good to no-contact. In almost all cases, their parents were absolutely fucking destroyed, and it was awful to see.

  • I only allow atheists in my foxholes owo

    (I jest, I’ve allowed good folks of varying faiths and spiritualities over the years uwu)

  • If you’ve just sat on a waterbed I’d count it

  • Almost 40, 20 point gang

    I’ve used heaps of typewriters. My mum had an antique one when I was growing up that still worked and I loved it.

  • I wanna pet her!

    Also Aisha from Outlaw Star is love

  • glances over to drawer with over 2kUSD of bad dragon alone, among many other things

  • Uh … yeah, it’s his livelihood. He writes books on programming with Apple machines. Of course he’s still going to do the things he’s been doing his whole life.
