We’re not buying the game, we’re buying the fantasy that we have the free time to play the game. I heard someone say that about books they bought and didn’t read. You can apply this reasoning to explain a lot of similar spending people do.

Every bit of information that we can think and share is a meme.
“Memes (discrete units of knowledge, gossip, jokes and so on) are to culture what genes are to life. Just as biological evolution is driven by the survival of the fittest genes in the gene pool, cultural evolution may be driven by the most successful memes.” —Richard Dawkins
It takes longer to write that reply than it does to type “indie web kat” into a search tool. Here you go, poor soul: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rTSEr0cRJY8&pp
Every xbox360 console I have owned or known others to own was defective within a short timespan. I would never trust their hardware ever again.

Microsoft’s loss of cloud data for the Sidekick phone was one of the biggest disasters in cloud computing history.
Isn’t it weird that only the white people in The Simpsons are yellow? There’s other races that aren’t yellow. And the Simpson’s world mirrors the real word; a large number of yellow people migrated from Eastern Europe to settle in Springfield.
I guess it’s better than the Doug universe, with people being either Caucasian or blue or purple. Very weird choice of representation, Nickelodeon! 👀
REFUSED!!! I discovered them way too late. They were a band ahead of their time!
Screeching Weasel, NOFX, Pennywise, No Use For A Name, Rancid/Greenday for introducing me to punk.
I’ve lived in a house that has a Black Widow problem for 14 years. I had severe arachnophobia when I moved here. Unfortunately, I don’t use poisons in my house, so my only option was to kill them by hand. The first several years, I would do regular patrols of my garage and yard at night to squish them. Night is the best time to kill them because they will usually sit in the middle of their nests. If they are not in the nest, I can usually find a bug to throw in the web that draws them out quickly. I had a favorite tool for the job, but anything screwdriver-ish will work. I know all their favorite spots, so it doesn’t take long to do a sweep. I also destroy the egg sacks.
I realize that without covering my house with poison, I will never be rid of them. More than anything, I just try to keep my floors and yard tidy with less spots for them to call home. Luckily, I have never seen one in the house other than a few juveniles. I think there is no food in the house for them, so the small ones that get in the house end up starving.
Most people go with poisons, so I thought I would pop in with my weirdness. Don’t worry about it too much. But also take precautions like not leaving your shoes where they could get in. And inspect boxes that have been in the garage before bringing into the house.
I was the same. I also avoided any Kpackage because of kdependencies it would install along with it.
I was shocked when my Linux Guru recommended KDE whenever it was that Plasma got really good. I reluctantly tried it and I was hooked. I was in love with the infinitely user configurable UI. I felt like I could easily bend the interface to do what I wanted. It’s been many years now and it’s hard for me to use anything but KDE. I even tried to give Plasma Mobile a go on my Pine Phone.
This is great news. I’ve been using holoiso on my Steamdeck, but the package management is falling apart. I’m excited to try this out.
Seriously, as an IT person, I still never know what most of my USB ports are capable of, but I’m glad they are backwards compatible. If something is slow, then I try a different cable and port.
