    Unpopular opinion: OneDrive automatic integration is amazing. Get a new PC, login, boom. PC at your parents’ house? Boom.

    I tried open source file syncing and it was jank. Everyone making their own cloud is inefficient anyway.

    I just wish windows phone was still a thing and it could all be on the Microsoft account. It remains better value than any other offering.

    That said, if it’s not your thing and you don’t want any of it, I agree there should be a big red “I’ve got this” button if you want to go full manual transmission. Well, windows style, maybe circa Windows 7. Linux is only for those for whom playing with settings is why they computer.

    Also “personalisation” can eat a dick. And stop fucking asking me for feedback. You get 1 star everytime just for asking. I’m done. /rant




  • Fuck me, he doesn’t even care about the real risk Trump poses, not only to the US, but to the world. I don’t care if he’s done a few good things in his time, Biden’s literally going to hand the presidency back to this felonious fucking psychopathic liar.

    I swear in 2016 I got blipped into an alternative dimension where eventually everything will be consumed by the langoliers

    Edit: The US invented MRNA vaccines, and we get the piece of shit from The Apprentice to hold our nuclear codes, handed the baton by a senile old man asleep at the wheel.




  • My understanding is that it was a Tumblr fad that became viral outside of Tumblr because it’s easy to recognize the absurdity, and it made a great target for ridiculing the woke (back when “woke” was a complement, and we just called this sort of thing being “politically correct”).

    Point is, you can’t just impose new words on purpose. Language doesn’t work that way. It’s all about the viral memes taking off. So it’s always best to adapt existing language.

    “They” is finally clicking in my mind as a singular gender neutral word, for example. It took a while, I have to admit.



  • When you’re a psychopath of one description or another, who knows what might motivate you?

    Most of us normal people are content to be free to spend time with friends and family doing the things we love. Imagine if you couldn’t give a shit about that, and that’s basically the world’s most successful people.

    Their lineages have spent recent human history honing capitalism to be the vessel for the freedom of their kind. Money buys you freedom from consequences most of the time. That shouldn’t be possible.

    The internet opened up their world for us to see, and for a moment it looked like we might sieze control. Instead, we let ourselves be manipulates into thinking they do in fact give a shit, or at least if we tag along we’ll be winners too.

    The names we know are the ones who court controversy for the thrill.

    Elon Musk is an excellent example. Whatever talents he has are moot next to his moral insanity. All he cares about is having a legacy, and achieving the things he wants. He just pays lip service to any real altruism. I mean, he’s the last person who needs to preside over horrific working conditions. He even bans PPE because he doesn’t like bright colors.
