literally have not had to skip a youtube ad in years, because I use ReVanced and AdNauseam like a sane person.

I’m going to be sad when YouTube dies, and all that collective knowledge and content either goes poof or is haphazardly, incompletely transferred to some “new thing”, whenever that is – but I won’t be that sad.

it’s almost like people can have shared experiences or something. Wild!

I have achieved that, when I was younger and skinnier, and it’s not even all that great. For one, yeah, kills your back. Two, it’s more like sucking dick than getting your dick sucked, so let’s hope you’re good at that – and if you are, you’re going to end up with a mouth full of cum.

Now, I’m gay, so these last two points didn’t bother me any, but I was so sore from the experience I did it like twice and then never bothered again. I imagine a straight guy would be even less impressed.

yes, but I would rather they die the hero than live long enough to become dogshit

Fuck.

honestly, Timeshift + btrfs was a big part of the reason I was willing to try switching to Mint from Windows in February when I read about it (the other big part being Proton and my experience with my Steam Deck), and I’ve been rather happy with it since. I still dual boot for the odd thing, but 90% of the time I’m in Linux and it just works; and on the single occasion I’ve had an update bork something, I just used Timeshift to restore a snapshot, tried updating again, and it worked fine the second time. Took me 10 minutes. I remember the heady days of the early 2010s when I first tried Linux, and that would’ve normally kicked off an entire evening’s worth of troubleshooting. (And, indeed, it was shit like that that pushed me back to Windows whenever I’d try Linux)

I’m really hoping more semi-computer-literate people start taking the plunge, it isn’t nearly so awful an adjustment to make as it was just ten years ago and Microsoft clearly needs the competition to encourage them to make not-shit products. I still wouldn’t give a Linux machine to your grandmother, but your average technically competent nerd who can use Google can actually use Mint nowadays without having to fuck with it too much; as opposed to having to almost become an expert on Linux and get up into its guts to make it work right for you (which, Windows is increasingly requiring itself, if you don’t want Microsoft knowing everything you do and serving you ads in your OS), and Timeshift is a big part of why, IMO. It’s not quite there to “perfectly suited for general use by your average idiot”, plenty of programs that don’t yet play nice with it; but it’s so much closer to that ideal now than it’s ever been before, and it’s still getting better.

I know, wrong community, y’all like to get up into its guts, poke around and tinker; but I and many others would rather work on our computers, as opposed to work on our computers, if you get my meaning.

This is your daily reminder that Firefox and its derivatives exist and should be used wherever possible if you care about Google not having a monopoly over the internet. There’s even a Firefox-based version of Discord called Datcord.

More than that, as fucking tepid a choice as Kamala Harris is to me, I have almost no doubt in my mind she can kick Donald’s ass at a debate. She is an older, half-african-american-half-asian-american woman – yeah, my money says she can both out-sass and out-maneuver him. That’s gonna be a show worth watching (and the entire country will be) so be ready for September 10th. We gon’ see some shit.

don’t you think more of your problems could be solved by the precise application of shitloads of cocaine?

It is if you do not possess a large stick inserted into your rectum.

I don’t have enough lube for that.

dating in general

ah yes, cumlauts

I miss Paul Perkenstein

lots of people use bofa! >!bofa deez nuts!<

upon doing the bare minimum of googling, it seems to be a private torrent tracker.

… oh, sure. like we did with Afghanistan?

This will surely go well!

in my experience, the sooner you accept that life is terrible and full of pain and misery, the sooner you cease to be surprised by it being terrible and full of pain and misery.

tl;dr “this might as well happen, I guess”

No, say it ain’t so!
