They are gonna put a fence around it I bet.

@CliftonR

Yes, always on my mind, THAT one.

There are places deep in the earth where the water is crystal clear or it would be, if there were any light. All of the sediment, all of the dust has settled long ago. All of the gasses have escaped. These hidden volumes of water, like houses. Like the space between bridges. The space between you and the sky. Huge empty spaces that are not empty. Frozen glass. The water is still. The water is silent. The water is transparent as the mountain air on a starless, moonless, windless night.

dang forgot the antennae

She is excited to help you recycle and compost that tree!

I especially dislike the technical nature of these euphemisms: it implies a precision and omniscience that simply isn’t possible.

It’s just killing people. I get that this is what armies do, but in theory there is a reason. By making it technical do they think the absence of a coherent reason won’t matter?

Yes.

@FandaSin

But you couldn't possibly know what you want to watch! Let the program tell you what to watch... please ... please...

@hypostase

There is nothing elegant or honorable about the "geek tax" and it's not some accomplishment to know how to pay it and get out of the slop machine.

It's like bragging that you brought your own life vest while everyone around you is drowning.

Why can ya'll just say what you are really doing? Are you ashamed? I would be ashamed if I were you. I get it.

"lethal kinetic strike"

I have more respect for a phrase like "waste disposal technician" (garbage man)

What is the purpose of paying for software when a company like Adobe treats you like a free software user and keeps adding things to the app that you don't want and failing to fix the things that make using it harder?

You can *buy* a television *subscribe* to streaming ... but you still need to see ads.

Even minecraft shows ads on the loading screen.

What is the purpose of jargon? What does it glorify? what does it obscure?

"conducted a lethal kinetic strike"

"killed people with a bomb"

@hypostase

You could disrupt the whole universe by simply making fun easy to use *user-centric* software that didn't require your "geek tax"

You want disruptive? That would be it.

What would it feel like to not feel like I'm always fighting with the damn software?

What if you made the software actually help me for once?

YouTube is continuing their assault on "hand que'd" videos. That is the practice of marking the videos you want to see and watching them on a play list.

They just pushed a new update that tries to hide the queue if you don't open it again. It also tries to replace the queue with a list they made (their algorithm) unless you keep navigating back to it.

The moment this breaks I'm gone.

I'm not gonna let ya'll pick what I watch. I don't trust you.

@juergen_hubert

We may need to find an alternative for the student yearbook and newspaper club because of this nonsense.

Which makes me happy in a way FOSS til the end and all.

HOWEVER these are student run clubs, *they* choose the software because it's what college an other student groups use. Now we come in and say "no no no" not a great look.

@ligasser

I think it's also slowed down so gotta learn that time travel jump off too.

This has bothered me for decades.

"What is that sound in 'jump around' by House of Pain"

(I always thought it was like IDK a fire alarm for terrible whiteboys incoming)

@apLundell

In the US I think you can get a permit if you live in an area with a proper winter. Which is a little paranoid.

Pica. I don't know how to say this nicely but I don't like your "song." I just don't think it's very good. It's too repetitive and discordant and it has too much RAW RAR and no real ... flow?

I just don't think it's ever going to be popular so I don't know why you keep at it.
