  • What computer life hacks are your most used?

  • hosts file block twitter/reddit/facebook/etc on all my computers. i guess i haven't done it on my phone because i can't be bothered [and regardless of how much i need a hit, i'm not gonna sit there on my phone browser for hours anyway]

  • Tesla releases API pricing, dev says would cost $60 million per year to run his 3rd-party app

    Jump

  • API pricing is such a shitty obnoxious dogshit practice that is now of course becoming standard because of course it is. internet barely costs money come the fuck on make a quality product

    It used to be a respected standard for developers and hosts to be somewhat open and friendly to 3rd party devs, because ultimately they're customers and they're helping recruit and retain customers, they should be treated with respect. just because it's innovative and disruptive to invent the machine gun doesn't mean it's good

  • Harris blasts Trump on reported Hitler comments, says 'he wants unchecked power'

    Jump

  • the supreme court literally gave biden unchecked power and he's done fuck all with it. you should want unchecked power so you can actually improve conditions.

  • JD Vance Awfully Quiet After Report on How His Mom Got Health Care

    Jump

  • it's ridiculous how much we jerk off to being the greatest country in the world ever but we can't even have this basic quality of life feature that so many other countries have made work. fucking israel has universal healthcare! what a pathetic empire

  • Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week

    Jump

  • i hate how this "best performers" rhetoric always comes out in WFH discussion. everyone should be able to work from home if it's better for them regardless of if they're The Best at their dunder-mifflin ass job

  • i try to put in the disc, hit play, and just walk away so i miss all the garbage and the paragraphs warning me about prison time. kinda kills the mood

  • 'Babbling' and 'hoarse': Biden's debate performance sends Democrats into a panic

    Jump

  • that was the worst fucking thing i've seen on tv in my life. holy shit that was depressing. yet it feels incredibly vindicating seeing every single media outlet openly say 'that was a disaster, he should probably be out'. that was an absolute failure. rescheduling the debate would look better than that shit.

  • Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough

    Jump

  • imagine showing this post to someone in 1995

    shit has gotten too bloated these days. i mean even in my head 8GB still sounds like 'a lot' of RAM and 16GB feels extravagant

  • TIL Hunter S. Thomson got an early honorable discharge from the air force in part because, "Sometimes his rebel and superior attitude seems to rub off on other airmen staff members."

    Jump

  • "superior attitude" is an obnoxious way to describe someone rebelling against shitty rules because they have standards. "you're not special" etc is the usual bullshit I get -- and of course I am not -- what I think we rightfully think is that nobody should be beholden to shitty practices and standards.

  • CEOs Are Using Return To Office Mandates To Mask Poor Management

    Jump

  • RTO itself is poor management. it's 2024, what the fuck are you doing. office work isn't some peak utopian concept, it's only really been a thing for around a century, and it's grown increasingly miserable as productivity skyrockets while wages don't. any honest person hates it, and it is objectively archaic now that we have the internet

    yeah, zoom meetings do suck, talking is more awkward, collaboration is harder, vibes are harder to maintain. but in no universe should that take precedent over the massive quality of life improvements WFH offers for the worker. internal work dynamics mean fuck all versus not having to leave your home/family/pets for 8+ hours every day

  • sideloading would be nice; i have no idea how people can get proper work done on an ipad as of now (especially with apple at one point acting like it was only a matter of time for them to replace laptops). everything is so overly glossy and surface level and designed for children or the elderly; you can't actually DO anything!
