the most enraging thing i’ve ever experienced on windows was when they started automatically “off-loading” files on my drive because i was running out of space. what the fuck, fuck you, i needed that, die in a fire and never touch my drive again. if i need more space i will fucking make more space

the hitler references i can look past as bad low-effort edgy teen jokes, but him following a bunch of actual alive nazis on twitter is the most damning to me. good riddance, glad that i unsubscribed back when he was exposed for plagiarism. what a talentless hack

this is Drew Gooden and The Yard for me. i have whitelisted them on sponsorblock because their ad reads are so fucking funny. also obligatory shoutout to Internet Comment Etiquette

gonna start lovingly referring to good software tools as “little fuckers”

kinda excited to see what their native vertical tabs will look like. i’ve been using sidebery for the past ~3 years and i’m extremely satisfied with it, i somehow doubt their native version will look as good

yep, this is what i meant

i mean, i have never in my life seen this case anywhere. until i saw your comment i thought it was some shitty startup manufacturer trying really desperately to become a “cool” brand. but i guess that’s not far off from what google is. makes sense that they would design something this tacky

moving large files

this is not a solution to the issue of mac for no reason not wanting to mount your drive, but are you familiar with SyncThing? i’ve been using it since like 2015 and have never had an issue, it’s super fast and local. requires both devices to be powered while transferring, though

thank you for the explanation and the examples :) i will no longer be so ignorant about security updates

i know you guys are probably right when you say that security updates are important, but why exactly? give me an example of how i could be fucked over while i’m just mindlessly playing my steam games and watching twitch+youtube on a system that hasn’t been updated since 2016.

i blindly assume that as long as i don’t download and run stupid .exes or click stupid links, i am completely fine

well, this is concerning to hear. i had no idea signal was funded by the US state

yes, absolutely, as long as we don’t become ignorant to the huge ethical issues with steam like their decade of running an underage gambling surrogate. sorry, i just take issue with the article pointing out flaws of xbox and playstation without counter-balancing those criticisms with something about valve. valve is certainly better than both sony and microsoft in every regard, but they are not innocent at all

i had history disabled for a while until i realized that it then forgets your progress in longer videos… deal-breaker for me

damn i never knew! thank you

this title totally buries the lead lede: outlook has started displaying ads in inboxes, that’s the story and that’s what Proton was pointing out

critical damage to the “privacy-conscious people are not freaks” message

windows sucks ass for this exact reason but linux is definitely complicated and filled with weird bugs as well lol. i guess those bugs are better than spyware though

damn, i fully thought it would be for legal reasons. this is just admirable and honest

i think starfield looks just as uninspired and boring as the next guy, but i think we should take player retention with a grain of salt on linear single-player games. of course people are less inclined to continue playing when they’ve finished the main quest

anyway play resident evil 2 remake

sad that twitter users will jump to literally anything except mastodon. wake me up in 15 years when bluesky finishes its twitter elon musk cycle and it’ll be like i took a 12 second nap
