i don’t think we’ve reached the level of automation where everyone who would want to live a comfy lazy life could. menial labor and exploitation are too fundamental to our consumption economy Bloody Hedgehog posted:No Bill, don't let Hank take advantage of you like that. narrow urethra

theres also like, way more completely dogshit music being "released" than ever. those bedroom recording secret genius amateurs are vastly outnumbered by the mediocre masses taking advantage of the low entry barrier. any dipshit can loop.

Salt Fish posted:I was just checking out pictures of a light-up drone display, and I know this is me just being old, but gently caress drones. What a loving stupid waste of electricity and circuit boards. I know you can say the same thing about fireworks or whatever, but I don't know I hate them. We're so obviously past the point of sustainability and the world is dying and some nerd is jerking off at the idea of building a fleet of ten thousands drones to paint star wars murals in the sky just gently caress off with this come on please. i think of all the things you could strap to them and all the places they could fly and im glad no domestic terrorists have the same ideas!

Modal Auxiliary posted:Nvidia Shield + Plex + dumb TV is still the way to go for me. I use Smart Tube to bypass YouTube ads (including sponsored bullshit and dumb intros/outros) and just torrent a shitload of new media once a month or so. It's pretty great. basically me but i’ve been noticing the shield getting slightly shittier over time. it used to work perfectly but now it occasionally gets the computer ghosts and fucks up for no good reason. and i torrent old poo poo instead.

the nba jersey designs themselves have gone down the toilet too, especially the alts/city editions. no good design is ever brought back because collectors market false scarcity bs and most of the new designs are corny poo poo aimed at kids.

The matrix maybe, but with ads. so…. potential upside to possible impending ww3? nah who am i kidding, it is accelerationist folly to think global catastrophe will do anything but further entrench the ruling class. it would make me feel better if i knew about any concerted efforts to get humanity back on a less suicidal path instead of slowly coasting into the abyss just tired of everything getting shittier man

Cactus Ghost posted:printed script was a mistake. arabic did it right. just coming up with a movable-type (and later, electronic) script that imitates cursive instead of making up an entirely new kind of script just for the printing press and then making everyone learn to write that hosed up printing press way for no reason understanding media: the extensions of man by marshall mcluhan should be required reading for…. well, everybody. it is, of course, far too late to instill media literacy in those that have failed to acquire regular literacy but if you can read, you should read that boy it sure is fun having my cynical misanthropy vindicated at every turn, the sensation of smug satisfaction definitely outweighs the constant oppressive miasma of this modern hellworld and i am not at all loving depressed hahaha

in chrome if you have a page like say for example the somethingawful forums open and you open new tabs from it with middle click then switch to them or other tabs or go take a poo poo or whatever and then go back to the first tab and open more links the same way, the new tabs will open to the immediate right of the first tab like god intended if you do the same in firefox on the other hand, the tab will appear to the right for half a second before getting moved to the end of the group of tabs opened from that tab. there are some about:config settings to have different but even worse behavior and i wish it just did it like chrome does. might switch to another chromium based browser especially if mozilla farts up ff with ai

everyone is an internet addicted weirdo now instead of the outsider minority of weirdo nerds. it was never a good thing to be, but there were enough people not yet infected with the brainworms so they could subsidize our worthless neet consumption. but its too drat profitable for rent seeking tech companies to get everyone hooked up to the digital heroin. it aint called eternal september for nothing. no end in sight
