Where else am I supposed to store my data? People keep telling me to store my files in the clouds, but when I do it’s always “ah man, it’s cloudy again, I want sunshine!” and “why is it snowing paper?”

There are watches that don’t require a battery. Some require you to rewind by hand, by turning the crown, others are powered by wrist movements.

And the lack thereof.

Yes that’s indeed one of the big problems.

Then they get to step up and approach men for a change.

Well when men keep hearing “don’t approach us”, we shouldn’t be shocked when men don’t approach people.

Meanwhile I’ll stick with my tree, it has root access.

So you think that typing the prompt “convert this photo ghibli style” constitutes art? You’re really scraping the bottom there.

The resulting image is not art and it’s definitely not the work of the friend in the comic.

Back in my day we had green text on black and we were happy.

What’s the artistic part in “upload photo to AI generator and write prompt ‘turn this into ghibli-style’”?

The humour in the comic isn’t mine, but I don’t consider using an AI slop machine as artistic.

No SoulSeek fans here?

I bought a Gravis Ultrasound soundcard for its superior MIDI bank and management.

I’m monochrome cga screen old. Commodore VIC 20, Philips MSX, Video 2000 old.

It broke my previous laptop’s hard drive because it wasn’t an ssd.

No, my friend, only the highest grade copper! And for you, special price too!

I too like to verb nouns.

I’ve had similar experiences with Windows.

Recently the fingerprint reader on my work laptop (which is running Win11) just completely stopped working until after a reboot.
Putting my laptop to “sleep mode” didn’t work either, it would constantly wake up within seconds of me putting it to sleep. Wifi stopped functioning for no discernable reason. (I still haven’t found the reason)

This should’ve been opt-in from the get-go.

If it’s good enough for mums, it’s good enough for a lot of people. Because mums are the mainstream.

That depends on your definition of “ready”, and of “most people”.

My mom, for instance, could pretty much do all her stuff on a Linux machine, and as soon as her current laptop with Win11 gets a tad too old and she starts complaining that everything is so slow, I’ll switch her over to Linux.

All she does is edit her photos, read emails and does online banking and some web-only games (like boardgamearena). She needs an image editor (she still uses Picasa, so Shotwell could be a valid alternative), an email program (she already uses Thunderbird), text processor (she already uses LibreOffice).

Same! Perhaps I should prune my Discord servers
