Well thats too bad.

Everyone had a nice easter? I hope you guys have monday off as well. I’m eating some crisps and watching DankPods

Good to see President Mad Orange Cunt is behaving completely normally on a Easter holiday.

Same. But its not aimed at people like us

Bed games? Do you mean sex or pillow fighting or building pillow forts?

believe it or not, vast majority of people already do not know how to properly do that and dentists do not teach us

Well thats another thing, that I think is the problem. It seems to me that people these days expect others to teach their kids how to do things. I don’t think dentists should be the ones who teach people how to brush their teeth, it should be the parents. I read recently that kindergarten kids not being potty trained by their parents is becoming a massive problem, I guess the parents expect that to happen in the kindergarten as well. Same goes with discipline and basic behavior. Apparently school teachers have noticed a major change in kids’ ability to behave properly. This constant coddling and “theres an app for that” is going to ruin everything.

My backup is just actually do things intentionally. I don’t care if It is slow, I have time, why would I rush things. I guess I am trying to enjoy the journey rather than focus on goals and stuff.

This is my only hope. I don’t know if its just the bubble I’m in, but I’ve noticed more and more people going back to doing things the “old” or “hard” way. Most of it is people ditching social media, reddit and whatnot and replacing them with IRC, Lemmy etc. Then theres also the whole old internet revival thing, neocities.org, kagi.com/smallweb/ etc. But theres also a whole bunch of people who are moving away from the city and live more frugally.

Obviously its a small fraction of the population, but who knows, maybe it will grow into something bigger. At the moment I think theres going to be a split, at least online, with people who refuse to use the shiny new software and services and will stick to IRC and other, simpler things.

This turned into a ramble, I’ll stop while its still coherent on some level

I feel like this sort of stuff will just make everyone completely useless. If we need the toothbrush to tell us how and where to brush our teeth, we are doomed. I hope that day never comes. But it looks like we are heading straight towards it, running and laughing like maniacs.

My backup plan of moving into the woods to live as a recluse is starting to feel more and more like the main plan.

“You can just use your astronaut training to fly the Airbus A380”

You can’t fight nazis with a empty stomach, you silly sausage.

It’s even theorized that so many people died that global temperature dropped as a result.

I think you and I just solved the climate crisis! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_4J4uor3JE

Well obviously you don’t have to use it. But the fact that there is an app for your fucking toothbrush is just stupid and makes me despair.

People who are used to scrolling with a mobile device use it. Thats the whole point of it, make it look like an app. 99% of the users who joined after the introduction of new reddit are youngsters, if they don’t use the new reddit website, they use the app, which is just the new reddit site in a app. I bet a concerning amount of them don’t even know you can browse it on a computer, let alone old.reddit.

Waterfox was one of the browsers I was considering about 2 months ago, when I was looking to change from Firefox, after 26 years of use.

I ended up with LibreWolf. Seems to have been the correct choice. Once Kagi gets Orion out in a non-flatpak thing, I’ll check it out and perhaps change to that.

Edit: though this decision by Waterfox doesn’t seem to be too horrible. Just seems a bit weird to have it built in but off by default?

Edit2: Ah, its just the text based ad(s) on startpage that will be enabled by default. If I understood correctly.

What was the point of launching a new thing. What was the problem with just using LibreOffice?

And no nonsense phone app.

lol what? Thats a thing?

I want one of those tech youtubers to do a test. Buy every product that has an app. Toothbrush, scale, microwave, dishwasher, kettle, oven mittens, etc, install all those apps and see how much they can mess up their phones. Bonus points if they figure out what data they are sending out.

Sorry, I have no idea. I’m on a different continent and have no idea about the rates over there.

By not being cheap about it. The professionals have a portfolio, recommendations and a price.

If some guy tells you they have a Nikon D3100 and they can do it for 50$, run away.

Because they are War Pigs.

“Why should they go out to fight? They leave that all to the poor”

Or perhaps they were just saying that because its worth saying, even randomly in random places.

That sounds like some weird American thing that I’m too Nordic to understand.

Yes. Theres all kinds of stuff happening, from EU based credit card/banking providers and digital payment systems to bringing industry back, supporting existing EU industry, streamlining the establishment of new companies, moving from US based service providers to EU based ones etc. Theres a whole bunch of new trade deals with not-USA countries already made and being made, in order to diversify trade so its not so reliant on the US.
