i know I say this every week but: patron doesn't know what "pdfs" are but was told she needs to fill one out so she searched "pdf reader" on google play and got some shitty garbage adware reader program because that's all that google play is filled with it's so. fucking. bleak. man

helping an old lady get into her email on the desktop. defaults to asking for a passkey. she doesn't know what that is. the use password option is buried under another click. gotta click through the recovery email setup. gotta click through the onedrive nag. it's so fuckin bleak for normies, man

i want the final fantasy that's unafraid to experiment with fucking weirdness again instead of trying to design by committee to appeal to the tastes of players who haven't touched the genre since FF7 and farm xenophobic hate for it for clicks

Would you like to see Final Fantasy 17 go for more a Sci-fi approach again after Final Fantasy 16 went full Fantasy www.resetera.com/threads/16...

scheduler: Can you switch next Monday's shift with the Saturday after's? Need to cover some absences. Me: *looks at calendar. changes result in 5 straight days off, starting tonight, on the weekend we're bringing home our new kitten* Me: "I will make that sacrifice. For the good of the library."

tumblr is having a great one about this, little masterpiece of a post I'd say

"do you know where my cellphone is?" "I'm gonna go read" followed up five minutes later by soft snoring "HUBBAN" and "BEANIE" one of my trillion of nicknames for the cats "i hungie" and "hi imma panda"

pull the string on my back to hear one of my many classic little jilly phrases! fan favorites include: "where the fuck is my water bottle?" "does anyone in this thread smoke weed?" "why mean me... :(" "loitering and daydrinking, queen?" "please, please, im serious! please stop tickling me im gonna p

"are people going to think this is AI-written because I'm using a semi-colon?" no fuck you. i've used the semi-colon for years; I'm not giving up something that so perfectly fits my natural speech pattern and the way I like my sentences to flow because of sam fuckin altman's dweebish ass

the problem I have with this (at least when it comes to roguelikes/lites) is the variance: If I lose and I lose and I lose and then I finally win: did I win because I am better at the game or because I got better items that time? Or an easier route? Or better RNG? This is why Sekiro is, beyond any

i have the first two chapters plotted out. as usual, the problem I have with edgy stories is that I end up falling in love with the characters and don't want to torment them anymore it will still be problematic it will still be toxic but it will also be kinda romantic?

oh no i'm fleshing out a problematic, toxic yuri story idea

how it feels when i come back to Fedora after every distrohop

I'm just a humble Fedora driver.

you sit on a THRONE OF LIESSSSSSSSS while they do taste good, altoids are stronger than this

one day when someone promises to sell me the "strongest mint candy I've ever tasted" I will actually get that

"fiction normalizes—" idk abt any of that but I think social media has normalized absolutely batshit behavior and social conventions that are inconceivable to anyone that is actually well-balanced and thriving in the real world and that's a bigger problem than fiction will ever be

Me: "where's all the disk space on my mini-server going?!?" Me: *watches docker image prune take 8 minutes to finish* Me: "...that's probably where."

what's this latest fiction discourse I'm only hearing the snarky mocking of, but nobody actually linking? is it something new, or the same old usual stuff?

I just got to The Call in Adachi and Shimamura You're gay but are you a four page, single paragraph meltdown level of gay? My poor blorbo. She's hurting so bad.

Satisfactory. Get to play with basically Legos for a whole year. That'll be fuckin easy.

You're offered $250,000,000 but to claim it you must enter the last video game you've played and stay there for a full year. How are y'all faring in this deal?

i saw something on bsky. want more info about it. I search for a news article. TIME is the first result to appear. Sure, fine, whatever. Start reading. Box pops up, covers half the screen. AI chat prompt: "Ask me anything!" Can I ask you to get the fuck out of my way so I can read?

guess i'm crying about fiction and fanfiction at 5pm on a monday. no, not any particular story, but how it's all of us saying hey, this is what it feels like

probably some Garth Brooks CD, to be honest. I was really into country as a kid the first CD I bought for myself was Dir en grey's Macabre (tho it was a bootleg which I didn't realize was a thing at the time). Still have it, I think.

The old internet@theoldinternet.bsky.social · 5d ago

44 years ago today, the first CD was produced. What is the first CD you owned?

lrt: people will go to some AI bot and write forty paragraphs of prompting to get what they want out of the computer and to prevent it from hallucinating when "tell computer exactly what I want it to do" is already a thing

We gotta demistify the Linux terminal. Way too many people think you need some Matrix-ass 1337 haxx0r skillz to use it, as if it's not just typing "computah, install discord" 90% of the time.

I have one that is the closest so far Fisherman's Friend? More like Panda's Friend

"try xyz" i'm at the point where I need a mint so strong I can't taste anything else after it. the kind of mint that feels like you're breathing in a blizzard in antarctica. where burning my taste buds off is a genuine risk.
