Any questionable software I have is coming up on 4 years old now, most of it is older than that. I move them to a new machine every time I upgrade, simply because I don’t trust torrents anymore.

Honestly, I don’t trust PDFs anymore unless they’re from places I know are “safe” which kind of sucks because I’ve been getting back into RC as a hobby and it’s hard to find non-pdf plans. I prefer vector files, but I’m having to try my luck with jpg and png files.

A lot of the programs I used to use have been surpassed by current FOSS projects, and I’ve been replacing them as I can. Finding an open source laser engraver program that isn’t shit is proving difficult.

Addicts always gotta justify how they get their fix, I guess.

Why make things balanced?

What service does the pile of shit in a suit provide that justifies equal weight of all those workers?

My guess is “not enough to deserve it”

Things aren’t balanced until we are all on level ground with each other. No fulcrums in sight.

I don’t need an alarm.

I wake up every few hours regardless.

And I’m always awake about 20 minutes before my alarm, no matter that time I set it to.

Existence is pain

I’m not sure how Canada feels about a foreign legion, but I’m willing to volunteer.

Note: this applies to any country the Orange Jackass threatens to invade.

But the orphan grinding machine has always been around! We can’t just tear it down, that’s insulting to all the people it ground up!

Every single fucking time: THIS IS THE FUTURE UNDER COMMUSOCIALMARXISM!

endless pictures of current capitalism conditions, usually centered around homeless people

Yeah, it sure is a good thing we have capitalism to make sure that every person is taken care of and nobody gets fed to the orphan grinding machine.

But like… Organize first.

Otherwise you’re just a crazed lone gunman dead in the street.

If they all got their proper iron necktie, French revolution style, the only time they would be discussed is when you read another report that the lasting damage they caused has been repaired and the systems they tried to eradicate have been restored.

I can go to my individual comments and check the scores, but I like that I can’t see any cumulative score. I’m a sucker for “number go up” games.

Lemmy isn’t a competition.

Well, I’m not a primary target, but if I see someone rolling up on my street trying to force people into a vehicle against their will, I’m definitely grabbing my rifle and preventing a kidnapping.

They may not be coming for me yet, but I sure as fuck am not waiting until they do.

Honestly I think they’re just waiting for people to fight back so they can justify lethal force from then on, “as a precaution”

Person 1: “this thing isn’t possible”

Person 2: it is, and I have experienced it myself.

Person 3: “yeah but here is a list of reasons I just made up why your experience doesn’t matter”

The first comment was not saying “after long enough time certain drives do this/hardware degrades/won’t run in modern machines”, they were blanket stating “no storage lasts beyond 2-3 years”

no storage drive on the planet last more than two to three years

I’ll tell that to the laptop HDD I pulled out of a laptop last month that hasn’t turned on since 2018 and copied a large portion of the data so my mother can have old family photos she forgot to transfer.

I’m positive there are issues somewhere on it, since radiation is a thing and the HDD case isn’t 6ft of lead. I just didn’t encounter any with the 50-60gb I transferred.

On a long enough timescale, sure. But not a couple years for HDDs at least.

It happens. I’ve definitely read a sentence, took it the wrong way, and only after rereading it later on (usually when someone responds to my comment) that I was incorrect.

I don’t see anyone shitting on younger generations.

All I see is someone expressing what many in the younger generation are feeling. Like everything the older generations faced is happening again. Like the world is on fire and everyone is pretending it’s fine. And they’re wondering why nobody is as concerned as they are.

In other words, “WTAF is going on?!?!”

Nah, I know for a fact 2/3 of my kills were luck, and the other 1/3 is new players.

I know for a fact I’m opinionated, and don’t have problems sharing them.

Please, by all means, block me if you think seeing my comments is adversely affecting you. I’d rather be ignored by someone than make their day worse (unless they’re actively trying to make others miserable, but that’s a separate discussion)

The fediverse has definitely gotten a little less hostile after blocking a few things.

And remember you can jump ship to another instance at any time! I’ve hopped a few times but for now my instance is filling my needs without much drama that I am aware of.

I can attest my wife’s 30 year old grandma car has enough oomph to help a truck and camper get unstuck from mud. That’s gotta be at least 901lbs.

It’s just mimicking dazzle camo.

You don’t REALLY think it’s been upgraded, the camo just tricks your brain into thinking it does…

Yaaaaas queen. 🔫👸💅
