Rad framing, thank you!

Pretty sure bro’s monitor is plugged into his gpu, cpu/mobo may or may not do video

its still watchin u

Firefox tweaked to the point it’d really make more sense to start with waterfox/librewolf if I didn’t already have the momentum. Vivaldi is slicker, but I think it’s important to support an engine besides chromium

Do this one op, nice and simple. It’s a smooth, shiny circle about the size of a US quarter somewhere on the surface of your motherboard and should pop right off

I have three cars, this guy ain’t shit

That’s a really unpleasant and personal framing man, not sure how my entirely unstated entertainment preferences became relevant. Hope you find something to laugh (or at least smile) at today. The only repetition I’m seeing here is your persistent, aggressive negativity and I’m pretty done engaging with it earnestly

That doesn’t seem like a very pleasant or productive perspective, but if it’s the one you want to apply go for it. Good luck out there friend

I think it’s a perspective you can apply or not, and one I still find useful. Our goals and intentions aside they’re contagious little bits of information that want to spread, and what makes them good at doing so is interesting to think about. As a conceptual unit of discourse, I have a hard time seeing them as a potential substitute for it. Quotation as substitute for thought is another story, but a far older story than this (or perhaps any) medium

I think you’d get a lot of good from reading a bit about memetics and conceiving of “memes” as transmissible ideas vs captioned pics online

More broadly, the purpose of our education system is not to educate or enlighten but to shape useful, compliant citizens. Common core was another sharp turn for the worse, go read about how controversial mandating attendance was back in the day. Picking on nerds as an act of resistance is weird to think about from here :p

Sun’s out, buns out 😎

I thought we were born April 20th, 1969

American here, I’ve been insisting on signal for years and it’s going fine. If you’re cool enough people will follow your lead eventually, it’s a better experience and everyone else waiting to switch is being held back by the same excuse. Take your good posts and go home (to open platforms)

Saw someone getting really bad tech tips, signed up to interject. Stuck around cause it’s a cool name, suspect we may be defederated from some of the spicier instances, miss em but not enough to change right now

Copyparty is lit

You gotta be dumber, and more greedy

This is not a remotely unpopular opinion, sharing is awesome and corpos can suck it

A Song of Fire and ICE

Genuinely unsure what point you’re making with the plane crash thing… yes, most pilots don’t crash? Sometimes they do, and we accept that risk because of the utility flying provides. It feels like you’re trying to advocate for tighter gun control with an argument against it
