Maybe it’s just reflective of the mood of the country

So basically state government

That’s why when I grab my popcorn at the cinema I loudly proclaim “no homo” before going down on Bruce, my coworker.

Wouldn’t want it to get awkward

I’m still waiting on porn to pull the rug and take away my good times

I’m gonna say it.

2023 is the year of the Linux desktop!

Late stage enshitification

I was running an it services business at the time, so got to see a broad number of machines and peoples complaints.

I think the massive jump in ram required was a huge problem, it went from most people having 128mb to 256mb, to a minimum of 512, but a reality of 2gb required.

Plus the indexer was relentless and just smashed HDDs.

Drivers were a problem too but people understood they would need to be have upgrades for their fancy new system.

Then xp to vista happened and it looked pretty but was unusable. Then 7 came out and it solved all the BS and was a relief. Then 8 came out and it looked pretty but was unusable. Nobody is quite sure what happened with 9 but 10 was ok I guess, better than 8. Then I started using Linux because I was sick of the bullshit.

You forgot to be born rich and beautiful. That’s the thing you did wrong.

I rum a distillery and literally turn water into spirits. I just add a bit of yeast and sugar and boil that bad boy.

Guess I should call myself rum Jesus.

Love how Bing chat just gets uncomfortable all the time and nopes out of most conversations

Breathe thicker

My preferred podcast app (stitcher) shit down in August and I was about to move to google podcasts.

I am an idiot.

Agree it’s probably bullshit, just a pattern. It only resonated with me because it seems to track with my sentiment, but I have little hope that it’s about to get shit and get better.

I do expect it to get more shit.

Look to be fair I am self employed and always have been, but even so, today I don’t feel like going to work at all, I am totally exhausted. I am going though - because if I don’t go, I won’t have stock for the end of the week and customers come from a fair distance to see me, and if I don’t have what they want they will be pissed, and my business will go to shit.

We are all prisoners of work.

According to this theory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss–Howe_generational_theory (see the timings section)

We are at the end of the crisis cycle. The last crisis cycle was WW2.

So shit is about to get really fucking real in a hot minute, but we should then move to a better time - an awakening.

Unfortunately I choose to eat

I lost my phone the other day. That sucks. But what really sucked is when I went and got a new Sim, chucked it in one of my old shitty phones, and then activated the new Sim with my company as a replacement, those motheruckers took 4 whole days to activate my new Sim.

It said it would only take 1-3 hours.

I had days wasted on the line with them, I knew they didn’t transfer it correctly and they just kept saying “please wait longer”. Like. What the fuck is waiting more going to do.

What was worse, is without access to SMS, I couldn’t port out to a new provider, couldn’t login to Facebook as backup messaging, couldn’t transfer money from my bank. Every step of the way I was fucked by 2fa and my douchebag phone company could not give a single shit.

Fuck you amaysim.

As soon as it came good I ported away from them within the hour. I really opened up my eyes to how much we rely on SMS communication these days for auth.

This post and the one before you have most relevant usernames I have come across on social media

Honestly if I was in the market for an achoo or a fuckhphone, I would totally buy a fuckphone
