Fuck. For real?!

If there’s a 1TB cap, I don’t even understand the point of needing a 1Gbps connection. I assume their market is just people that want to say they have a 1Gbps connection, but all they do is stream or play the odd game.

The US is currently this weird thing where it’s got the size and power of Nazi Germany, but it’s more like Mussolini’s Italy.

There’s kind of been an increase in things being more accessible and usable by the standard user where previously they would need to be quite savvy or know a language.

But, yeah, I can’t think of much else. Not user-based tech anyway. Just the usual insignificant increases and a bunch of bullshit no one asked for and actually ends up using, but has to pay for.

I think smartphones are an excellent example. Most people wouldn’t notice the differences between a second-hand $150 Samsung Galaxy from five years ago, and the latest flagship for 10× the price. The innovation is almost entirely unnoticeable.

There’s gotta be a name for the look where a physically unfit/poor performing American tries to offset this by donning physically “tough” fashion accessories and hair dos.

I know there’s gravy seals, but they kind of take it to the next level.

This, it’s more like a defence mechanism. Like they’d totally get their ass kicked in literally anything—fighting, jogging, getting up out of a chair—but they keep themselves safe by dressing up and casting tough stares.

Why is the screenshot placed randomly and off-centre on a giant plain background? Someone did that. They took the time to do that and for no reason.

Good thing they’re just our timeline’s Storm Troopers, else someone could’ve been killed.

How good is hospital recovery?

Sure, there’s some cons, but you basically get a free card to game relentlessly, undisturbed, and guilt-free. Tragically, you eventually heal up and have to go back to being a normie.

This is what I do. As far as I’m concerned, there’s my password and then there’s the one that’s a last “are you sure?” step before I sudo fuck shit up.

Yeah but it’s like the gearbox. While everything’s pulled apart, you may as well swap out the clutch, bearing, and flywheel too because they’ll need replacing again first. Especially if better versions of them are now supported.

Those mods sound just like how the father of fascism himself used to behave. Quite a coincidence.

I’ve just switched to KDE and it’s great, but it has about the same amount of cons as gnome.

I gave Cosmic a go recently and it’s great, but not quite ready yet. I think in a few updates time, I’ll be switching. It’s kind of like a cross-over of gnome and KDE and addresses a lot of the long standing pain points of both.

Shit. Can I re-roll?

Yeah but your income adjusted for it, so stop complaining /s

“Why should I pay for their burning down house?! Privatise the fire department!”

There’s just a lot of thought put in for the user. Excellent UI and productivity features, so much customisability. It’s super fast and light. Then there’s built in blockers, VPN, all the usual. To top it all off, it’s made by a small group of Norwegians that hate corporate control and love an open and free internet. They even have their own fediverse instances.

After I had spent an hour going down the rabbit hole of tweaking every UI element so the browser was now my browser, I was hooked. I still have to use Firefox at work, but I now find it intrusive, sluggish, and crude. I also hate having to restart it for updates lol.

I prefer Edge over Chrome, and if I had to choose one, Edge is definitely better. But gladly I don’t have to choose one and never will. Been with Vivaldi for years after switching off FF.

The only thing unexpected is the numbers are smaller than anticipated. But these things tend to accelerate as they grow, not remain linear or plateau.

Yeah but they don’t have the money to introduce quality governance into this. So the brain trust of Reddit it is. Which explains why LLMs have gotten all weirdly socially combative too; like two neckbeards having at it—Google skill vs Google skill—is a rich source of A+++ knowledge and social behaviour.

Yep. Did this recently actually lol.

But also commonly known as a war thing, done to render the enemy’s land infertile. Can’t grow food for a while and stuff.

Neither of these things really make much sense in context, though.
