the enshitification happens at a smaller location level.
look at some of the shunned/pariah instances. lots of people just end up blocking it or joining the instance to participate… what ever
imo it will continue to be a rollercoaster of ups and downs that only a core group of users will notice but there’s going to be drama
because drama is how humans behave
invest in a tape backup, tape formats like LTO will last LTO tapes are cheap and durable. Write time can be slow but reading is quick enough for what it is
sure an EMP might corrupt it but if you are that paranoid, you could use a safe for shielding
I turned it off in Windows but one of the latest Office patches does something that made it working in Word
At first I was really annoyed but when it seemed to understand the spelling of a word that was not normal and then suggested it everytime I was about to type it, I kept it enabled and it did help me speed up the writing of that document
basically a how to for using an old version of Veritas Netbackup that our LTO6 tapes are locked into
I am migrating it to LTO8 and using TAR and LTFS, so no more closed source lock in
when I recognize someone is in a bad mood or something and they are about to serve me, I anticipate their angst.
trying to have my request ready before they have to ask, force them off script in a way that will let them vent.
like say your in a line or queue for something and it exposed the person you’re about to deal with is that headspace… become their ally.
did that guy before you not XYZ?
They are overwhelmed?
i see you got your hands full, please do what you need to do first, I can wait
if you’re in the no win situation, just accept it and let them have their win as long as you get whatever you came to them for
it doesn’t have to be personal
i genuinely turn it off but last week I was documenting something and I noticed copilot was trying to anticipate what I was writing. I’m okay with that type of help but otherwise it’s just in the way
he gets a funny look on his face after he fucks a strangers couch
If you’re hot and dress nice would it make it less likely for you to be the target of those pieces of shit?
i think it has more to do with your body language and how you are directing your attention during the interaction.
that’s a lot of sex
gawd damn son…
it’s like this with almost everything
it’s amazing how you can break almost everything down into terms a neanderthal can understand and the short sighted conservative will break from their script
but breaking down simple concepts can be so overwhelming… and the right takes your exhaustion as an expression of failure.
it’s a never ending battle
I’m a bad Indian too

and I’m soon to be the owner of this masterpiece on vinyl. i was sold after hearing the circle jerks cover.
fucking amazing, my own thoughts in angry punk. thanks for posting this!
i enjoyed reading your perspective, thank you
i have known racist queers but they aren’t hateful with their racism. i think it’s the hateful part that makes it different. one guy I am thinking about is black and prefers white guy partners. He will go off on all his lovers with different people and he just admits his preference is racist but he doesn’t talk bad about other races.
that is frightening
fucking SMB
here in the PNW (Pacific North West) of North America, we have lots of different kinds of salmon but wood fired salmon on a cedar plank (like a roofing shingle) is food fit for the gods
the natives have done it for ions and it is something you have to try if you like that fire salmon
also natives make salmon candy, which is dried salmon belly, dude its the best jerky ever made
it’s too bad you can’t see what I said, because that’s not it. sometimes people do stuff that on the surface might sound one way, how are we to know what the man did with the next part of his life.
But let’s consider he built his own house. And owned it by 25.
I’m of the age that I know a lot of people my parents age faced with situations similar to what is being presented in the picture.
I’ve also been homeless with my family and lived a pretty typical native American not living on a rez life. i know what being poor is. i know what it’s like for old people who are poor
when that guy was 25, house prices were probably in the $20k for a good house. If he built it, even cheaper. He’s equating two things that don’t really have relevance to anything but his memory
he’s also not taking advantage of his options for being a senior on fixed income nor did he prepare for his retirement properly if all he has is social security

going to college to learn technology in the 1990s would have been useless for acquiring the skills that I have developed and honed in my 25+ years in tech
she sends us all DM’s, thats the joke
from all different instances. its becoming a good meme. I suspect parsing the mod log for her name is a hoot
