I can't remember -- did they... "skip" Windows 9? Maybe people would confuse it with Windows 95 / 98? edit: and why did they go with Windows 10 and not something cool like Windows X? credburn fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Jul 6, 2023 |

MS Paint sure has gotten "better" over time, which makes it more complex, more complicated, less simple, and less serves the singular purpose I would use it for, which is very simple drawings that I can very quickly save as .pngs

I am certain Spotify's shuffle is not random. Looking it up, people suggest that disabling this "automix" thing makes shuffle random, but it doesn't. In a playlist with 70 hours of music, I shouldn't hear the same song three times in two hours. And that same song the next day. And the next. e: I guess it's kind of been that way forever though, this isn't really new

"Shorts" are just YouTube videos but you can't move around the timeline, right? gently caress that. I refuse to watch anything that doesn't let me watch it how I want to.

In the recent Tomb Raider trilogy, I hate how using her Spider Senses or whatever, Lara will also reveal a clue to solving the puzzle. "I've got to turn that mast somehow..." I'm not looking for a hint, I'm just trying to see which parts are glowing!

Self checkout: sixteen available spots, all taken, but line moves fast. Regular checkout: sixteen empty checkout lanes, one checkout person, it will take an hour to purchase groceries. I know this is kind of well tread material by now, but why have so many checkout lanes? Is it for the one day a year they have a Big Sale? I've never seen more than two used at a time*, and that's only in absolute emergencies. *since the advent of the self-checkout, I guess is what I mean.

I couldn't postpone my phone updating any longer. It finally just took over and was like gently caress YOU I'M UPDATING WHETHER OR NOT YOU CONSENT! As usual, like every loving time it updates, everything appears normal, until... this time it's the autocorrect. Suddenly it's autocorrecting everything I write, most of which is spelled loving correctly but it changes it to something it thinks I mean to say? Why the gently caress does it keep changing "autocorrect" to "Sorocco"?!

Cowslips Warren posted:is there a technical term for it when someone is driving, you are shotgun, and every single radio station is playing ads, so the driver just keeps flashing through each programmed station after 2 seconds until a good song is found? This was my experience every time I drove anywhere with my ex-fiance. From the moment we got in the car until we got to our destination it was 2 seconds of every single station over and over and over.

They looked like these:  edit: though I'm not sure how much classic Fallout is even lore anymore :\

SRQ posted:I like to remind people that the first settlement you see in Fallout 1, the literal stage setting, is mud-brick. Not garbage, but a primitive agrarian commune. To be fair, the background of the main menu is supposed to be Bakersfield, which maybe because of hardware limitations couldn't really be depicted well in-game in Fallout 1.  Which in-game looked like this  I definitely prefer the barren-desert, mud-brick, and junktown aesthetic of classic Fallout to the ruins of cities and over-saturation of 50s kitsch like in Fallout 4. credburn fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Aug 31, 2023 |

Does Facebook Marketplace's search radius actually work for anyone? It doesn't for me. If I ask it to find me something within ten miles from me it'll still mostly just list things from the other side of the country that will ship to my radius.

In today's age, is it worse to be ignorant about computers than it is to be ignorant about automobiles? My father would shame me for not being a car dude like him and like everyone his age I've ever known, someone who take apart an entire car and put it back together, but none of them know gently caress-all about PCs. Does the latest generation (... is it called "alpha?" I've heard that once before and I don't like it) have dual ignorance on computers and automobiles?

I know this is hardly new, but fashion exploiting the "look" of the impoverished. Like hosed up jeans. Man the kind of jeans you have to pay extra for nowadays are the same types of jeans I used to get beat up for wearing to school.

 I know this has always been lovely, but I went through a period where I hit the "hide" button every time I logged into Facebook for like a week, and then finally, one day, I stopped getting ads for this garbage. Then a week or two ago, I accidentally loving watched one and now it's back to this. Every time I log in, hide, see fewer posts. Hide, see fewer posts. It's been at least ten days, and I'm not seeing any fewer pushes for me to engage with this.

Letterboxd is a fantastic site for keeping track of movies I've watched and comparing film interests with other people but its biggest flaw is that its a social media platform, which means the absolute dumbest poo poo gets pushed to the top because of upvoting and likes and poo poo. The top 50 rated reviews for any film are just going to be weird fuckin memes or references or jokes. You really have to look hard to find poo poo of substance -- it's there but it's going to be buried under bullshit. It didn't used to be this way but it's been getting dumber and dumber every year. It doesn't help that over the years their Facebook account has gone from talking about films to posting memes because memes definitely get more engagement. I used to be a fan of what I guess one might call Extremely Specific Lists, but letterboxd people have gone to making single-entry "lists" just to make a fuckin joke, and I hate it. It's basically the same joke I like making, but done so lazily that it defeats the entire setup, and their dumb Facebook social media manager capitalizes on it because people can't get enough of The Dumbest loving Lowest Effort Humor. I honestly don't know how wikipedia has fared so well. credburn fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Nov 11, 2023 |
