  • I’ve googled error codes for programs with hundreds of thousands of users and had 0 results.

    Really Google? You’re telling me out of all these people that use / develop this application, that no one, kot ever. Once, has ever written hay error code down anywhere you index?

    It’s all so fucking shitty it has to be intentional but I can’t for the life of me figure out WHY. Showing more ads? Maybe htnyhetrs other options. People will just use them. Making everyone dumber? Saving bandwidth??

    I don’t boy the “so has just gotten that good” narrative. It’ll leave out sites from 2010 when it would be useful to see them and include them when it isn’t.

    I just don’t get it.



  • DDG is just bing and I think google too? I don’t know what’s happening but over the last 2 years or so every search engine has been getting worse and worse and worse. They’re all borderline un fucking usable.

    Except kagi. Which you have to pay for. Which I am totally fucking okay with given the state of everything else.







  • Same thing happened to me last year. Right into the uefi. Spent months fighting it after it got into phones, laptops, Linux Windows, whatever. Eventually got it gone and had been (trying mostly) to use Linux during the whole fiasco. During one of about 150 reinstalls of windows I couldn’t remember my password and wasn’t getting any of the password reset emails I was repeatedly requesting.

    I was locked out of my own fucking computer with nothing to do but reinstall windows. The same shit could happen with Linux except I wouldn’t have an expectation that a fucking password reset button would work.

    That was the part straw for me. I viewed never to use windows again unless I absolutely had to.

    And now that I’ve gotten thang of it: I fucking love Linux. I’m continually learning more about both Linux and computers. I feel like I’m peeling back later after layer after layer of useful interesting shit that windows purposefully kept from me.

    Parts of the learning process were rough, not going to lie, but my god. I fucking love the command line. I just love it.


  • Generally this conversatíon is a non starter. But: can dolphins consent?

    I mean they don’t care about you consenting since they’re rapey AF but - “person-like” animals such as orangutans, dolphins, corvids, could probably offer consent in a manner that’s ethical.

    I don’t think anyone should fuck any of the above, or even could fuck a corvids, but there are legitimate implications in ethics of an animal is capable of consenting to anything.
