that stuff is nice as an option. There’s a bar I go to that I can order my food and drink to the table my friends are at, while I’m walking to the place, and everything just arrives shortly after I sit down. Other people get offended about how fast I get served, it’s always amusing. I also enjoy not interacting with the staff, nothing against them, brain just doesn’t brain sometimes.

But what if I didn’t have a phone? or if I left home without it? 24/7 pocket rectangle is not natural.

My old apartment had gates that could only be opened with an app. They took out the card reader and made it app only. Should have gotten out of there much earlier than I did.

apps allow user tracking and advertising though. Much more valuable to the corpos than a few lost customers.

I fucking LOVE obsidian, one of my most used pieces of software.

I have two note vaults.

One is my personal “everything” not vault, Anything I might need to write down goes there. No random sticky notes, or half used notebooks for me. Game notes, such as what equipment I’m looking for, or solutions to puzzles I’ll forget before I can use the information. More practically useful notes like conversion charts to use imperial measurements in blender and godot. Names of people I need to remember and what their handles are on social media, because most platforms don’t help you with that. Everything can be interconnected, so some notes are just indexes of other notes.

More impressive is my lore wiki. There is a book series that I will never write, and these notes document the setting. Characters, events, locations, other authors who have helped over the years. Anything that is a proper noun or is otherwise special to the setting is a link to a note of that name.

Obsidian also has “graph view” which visually organizes notes so that things that are connected are physically closer together. I just wish I could give these notes icons on the graph view so that they’d be more visually distinct.

It’s weird that a corporation is able to and continues to offer a good product at a reasonable price, do so in a way that is convenient for the customer, and somehow hasn’t enshitified yet.

People like valve because valve earned that trust.

is there an easy way to export all my map markers from google to organic? I’ve saved a lot of locations over the years.

also works on android

I’d recommend libreoffice, because oracle also kinda sucks.

I did an upgrade last year. Not really sure what I upgraded to because it doesn’t matter.

I would still be using an fx9590 with a gtx970 if stability issues weren’t driving me up the wall, because it otherwise ran everything I cared about just fine.

sounds like I’ll have a great time with this in 10 years when I do my next upgrade.

Can i not bitch about how shit things have been? Or that these fixes shouldn’t even be necessary because they could have just not fucked it up in the first place?

Does nothing for existing cables.

i just didn’t want to say 25 years ago and have someone ‘um akshuly’ me about when emulation started getting viable.

I had no issue emulating n64 games on my piece of shit machine almost 20 years ago. What even is this?

Warframe. trying to get my noob friend up to current content so we can experience 1999 together.

The amount of effort for such imperceptible improvements is insane.

Also insane is how shit modern games run without multi thousand dollar hardware, even if you turn down settings, but then it also looks like ass in addition to running like shit.

is there an easy way to do this that doesn’t require me to understand how github works?

If steam goes down I’m sailing the high seas from then on.

our fanatical obsession with convenience (and corporations exploiting that) is what created this mess.

Autopay is so expected now that many subscriptions simply don’t offer options to pay per month.

as a warframe player, it boggles my mind that bungie can’t figure this out.
