In my hand, currently.

Yeah that’s what I’ve done. I’ve gotten very picky about which apps I allow to notify me of things. A week or two of turning off all the ones you don’t want and your phone gets quiet real quick.

Never heard of the Jelly Star! $200 bucks?! I just ordered one.

I can only imagine that they’re offering it to me because my account is like 15 years old… Either that, or I have about 200k post karma and 100k comment karma. (Not big numbers compared to karma whores, but still more than your average user).

Lol they’re trying to sell me shares at “pre-ipo prices”.

I asked if they have any puts available… So far no reply…

Yeah true. Is power delete suite still the preferred method?

Man there’s something about talking on a cell phone that makes me feel like I have to yell, and thus, hate talking on them.

As I remember land lines, they never felt that way.

Sounds like it’s time for me to actually log back in and delete all my old posts. I’ve been putting that off for too long.

RoboRock FTW

Yep beware, any time a company you do business with sends you a letter saying something like,

“Good news! (Our old company name) is now (new company name)!”

You’re about to get fucked.

Ahh ok I know the smell of pla quite well, thanks!

What does it smell like?

This is starting to sound a little too slavery-y…

I’ve never understood the “slim” thing console makers have been doing.

“Behold! Our latest game system!”

six months later

“Behold! The system we should have made in the first place!”

I can understand why so many programmers suffer from imposter syndrome.

I know more about SSH than anyone I know, but I still read articles like this and think, “SOCKS proxy. Huh. I don’t actually know what either of those words mean.”

Before anyone jumps in to educate me on what SOCKS is (please do though!), my point is that through my entire career in tech, I’ve always read articles and had to skim over terms and acronyms that I didn’t know, unless I wanted to fall into a ten-hour rabbit hole of learning, where I ultimately feel totally overwhelmed and not sure I’m actually smarter than when I woke up this morning.

Seems like an interesting article, but for me to fully grasp it, I’d need to read like six other articles, which I can’t do during my morning coffee/mindless scroll time.

I’ve taken the approach of learning through osmosis. I’ll regularly read articles that I don’t fully understand, assuming that I’ll eventually gain a better understanding of whatever topic I’m reading about over time.

Me: “Maybe next year’s zenphone will finally check all of my boxes and I can break free from the giant phone universe.”

ASUS: “Hold my beer.”

Oh no according to tiktok (so you know it’s true), he was saying itsumi, which is apparently Japanese for “Super”.

It’s not that I’m unable to install an app on my phone and learn how to use it, it’s that I’m unable to convince every person I know to install that app, then teach them all how to use it.

No love for DNS66? Are there better ways to block ads now?
