Me buying a house and not having to do coin laundry anymore: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me having to replace the washing machine when it breaks: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

The data center backlash Is working. That's why the New York Times is so concerned.

The last bastion of every single VC backed tech is advertising. Phones, fridges, cars, cameras, chatbots, baby monitors… it is all surveillance and it is all, eventually, advertising.
852dude@852dude.bsky.social · yesterdayThis sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.
I think apple watch doesn’t properly track steps when your pushing wheelchairs or strollers. Went to a festival today and walked probably 2 hours pushing my son’s wheelchair, and I’m at 4.5K steps, when a slow day is over 5K
Sometimes (most, actually) I wish I had the funds to pull a Paul Jarvis and just disappear But so much of my ability to feed my family is linked to my online persona that it’s just unrealistic.
That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

i’m never gonna be able to fire a cruise missile yet the question of using my tax dollars for them has never been up for debate

We’re also funding death squads but what’s really offensive is that somewhere out there a poor person might be able to eat

I HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING WALMART AND AMAZON STARVING THEIR EMPLOYEES FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

My biggest mistake? I tried to get people for the different apps instead of focusing on one first. Now I have like 4 in one, 5 in another one, and 2 in another one hahahaha I don’t mind being iOS only, since it’s not business, but I’ll eventually just get all my family to do it
Jorge Vergara@jorgevergara.co · 3d agoI’ve shipped 3 of my personal apps to the App Store and haven’t been able to ship any of them in Google Play because I need to find 12 beta testers first 🤣 I’m just gonna text my entire family one by one
It took us 3.5h for the first person to go bankrupt in Monopoly. Not sure if the digital is better than the physical game but we had a lot of fun

better than the stanford prison experiment and probably as realistic def gonna stick this in the back of MY idea fridge
Stilgherrian@stilgherrian.com · 2w agoI don’t care whether this actually happened or not. I want it to be true.
an illiterate loser calling em dashes "big dashes" is just icing on the shitcake. "nobody knows how to type them" no baby, YOU don't know how to type them. sucks to suck, doesn't it? — — —
Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · 4d agoSo I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.
in any event, when something suspicious happens: whatever you do, DON'T do the natural thing you feel inclined to do "oh somebody sent me money by accident—" NO! *smacks hand* do not be HELPFUL and NICE bc they seem REAL. that's the "confidence" in "con artist" call your bank (or whatever)
My big plans for tomorrow include waking up at 6am, brew some coffee, and get 2-3 hours of video games before anyone else wakes up and I lose the big TV 🙄
Google Play won't let me launch RoundForge (my free, combat-sports interval timer) until 12 testers run the beta for 14 days. I have 4. If you have an Android: send me your Google email, I'll add you + send an opt-in link. Install, keep it 2 weeks, done 🥊 Reposts help!
They don't have to vaccinate you to kill you, baby. You smoke drugs outta USB sticks.

I live in a 2-story house (1 floor hardwood and the other carpet), my wife said we should get a robo vacuum, but I have no idea what’s best, one that does everything and move it around, or something one specific for each floor. Do you have one you like? Any recs?
