I’m a writer, but don’t expect deep, personal shit. I’m a sysadmin who doesn’t like nerds, they’re every bit as willing to be the most vicious and petty of bullies as the people they claim they’re so very different from.

But as individuals, they’re all right.

A lefty who hunts, so not an NRA fan. Done martial arts for years, not one of the MMA clowns.

If I say “free software” I ONLY am speaking of the price.

I have such highly developed ad blindness that the Crush ad didn't even register with me. It took me awhile to understand what the complaints were about.

I wonder if it would have gone over better if instead of showing things being destroyed, they showed the objects fusing together. Kind of like how we think of a diamond being created.

@angry_drunk @flargh @caspercdn @jackbrewster I think you hit it on the nail with the irrelevance bit. Gruber et al no longer “matter” like they used to, they’re no longer feted, they no longer have MWE et al to be worshipped at.

Even the WWDC is reduced to videos only and slack just isn’t the same as people crowding 3 deep for a moment of your time.

No fun being the boy king of a dead, abandoned kingdom.

@KingShawn “because the people at the top voted and worked to create a system that makes elder/EOL care so fucking expensive, and private healthcare so expensive (at least in the US) that they can’t afford to stop working.

So now the rest of us suffer along with these boomer fucks.

This is very cool, but if the financing isn’t set up well ahead of general release, no iteration will survive a month.

it's fun to push NRA goblins on this, because, and it takes work, you can eventually get them to admit this is not a serious thought for even them. They will not allow for school budget increases for weapons, ammo, (actual) urban combat training, and all the other expenses this would take were it a serious proposal.

It's just their reflexive "EVERY PROBLEM IS SOLVED BY A GUN" shit. But watching them admit it when they desperately don't want to is entertaining.

Did all these people think they meant anything to Stack Overflow other than content?

Like you were special frens? Family?

Welcome, yet again to the realities of capitalism you technololbertarian patsies. You got played, again because you are the best form of patsy: the one who firmly believes they are too smart to be suckered.

“I am not some dumb laborer or tradesperson, I need no help for I Am Too Smart To Be Played.”

And then you get played

And then you get played

And then you get played

And then you get played

Over and over, yet still you believe that you are the Randian Avatar, that you are the Unique Special Child to whom all things will be awarded.

You’re not. You’re another crab in the bucket and many of us wish you would stop yanking down every attempt to fix things that isn’t solely about and for you.

@bynkii@mastodon.social avatar

Children, you were lied to. Initially by your families and society, and now by yourselves.

You are not special. All of you, me too, are replaceable.

This need you have to be the only one who gets ahead is what is holding you back. It makes you the easiest of tools to use, and you keep putting yourselves into random hands, then wondering why you keep being broken.

When I say “you are not special”, I don’t mean you have no value as person.

bynkii,
@bynkii@mastodon.social avatar

I mean that you have no greater or lesser value than anyone else.

This nonsense you've been fed has made you become a toddler in many ways. "All by myself" is how you think of your accomplishments while using tools you didn't build, resources you have no clue as to their operations, while benefitting from the efforts of thousands, if not millions of people you have never met or ever will meet.

bynkii,
@bynkii@mastodon.social avatar

There isn't a single developer who truly did it "all by theirselves”. The faster you understand that, the easier everything gets. You are in this together. Coworkers, family, friends, customers, people you never see doing critical work, (Seriously, you should be sending Xmas gifts to sanitation workers.)

Once you internalize this, then you realize only collectively can you create a world where you can live a life not dominated by constant stress about fundamentals. Like food, clothing, etc.

SO has been a truly amazing resource, but the questioners and answerers both were never more than resources for the company behind it to make money.

Stop acting as if you're surprised they're...doing things that will make them money. If it bothers you sufficiently, figure out a way to fix that problem. It's not like SO is some perfect resource, god, it's awful if you're a beginner. It celebrates a culture of being an asshole just because you can.

Band together, and build something better.

@bynkii@mastodon.social avatar

Or sit there and cry about a fact you've always known, but didn't want to face.

Me personally, I don’t care which option you choose. My need for SO is remarkably small.

But if you use it, well, there's an opportunity there for you. What you do with it is up to you.

The "iPad needs to emulate MacOS" nonsense is completely indicative of one of the classic pathologies of Apple Media Brain. Gotta own every single device Apple produces, and every one of those devices needs to perform exactly the same set of jobs.

@bynkii@mastodon.social avatar

@angry_drunk it’s so fucking stupid. I ordered a new iPad and what I use them for vs. my Mac is very different by design.

What, these mooks think a leatherman replaces a toolbox? That all tools must be the same? (I mean, they do, but still)

There’s a series called “Porn Stars read mean tweets”

You know how the Jimmy Kimmel version is funny?

This one isn’t, it is deeply depressing and disturbing watching these women read the filth they are targeted with every day.

So yeah, Stormy isn’t exaggerating at all here. https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/112411588225201355
