“idclip” for Doom
“pot of gold” for Warcraft 1
Oh and of course, how could I forget “how do you turn this on” (x20 usually) for Age of Empires II
Shut up Donny! You’re out of your element!
The Brave Little Toaster would probably be at the top of my list. I can still hear that Jon Lovitz radio.
I made this prediction before kind of joking, but I feel like it could still end up this way, where in the near future we’ll all be installing a FOSS AI after a fresh install whose sole job is to target the corpo AI’s on our local machines and continuously cripple them.
Either lack of critical thinking or driven by greed.
You get the top to vote for you by ensuring they keep and/or increase their riches. That’s done by immediate things like tax cuts, or other long term strategies like cutting environmental protections and reducing the role of gov’t, allowing businesses to rape the planet and abuse their workforce as hard as possible to increase profits.
As for the rest of his supporters, the “MAGA” crowd, they’re kept in line by keeping them stupid, allowing you to more easily feed them propaganda and influence their emotions to fit your needs. Religion teaches them to be subservient from an early age and take a back seat to a higher power, whether that be god or the charismatic talking head at the alter or on tv, all the while leeching as much money from them as possible without leaving them totally destitute. This helps explain why conservatives/religious turds continue to attack early education (less chance of them learning to think critically and question things), school lunch programs (hinder brain development), libraries (access to other ideas/beliefs), sex education and abortions (keeping those accidental pregnancies from being stopped, thereby ensuring the already uneducated and poor families continue to have kids they cannot support financially and give a good education to). It’s all very sinister when you look at the whole picture. It’s why I detest religion, not so much the concept and practicing of religion, but how evil men have turned it into a weapon, and exploiting the very people they pretend to care about. A lot of the evil they push is all done under the guise of religious beliefs/freedoms.
Hi, Ted!
I feel like one day the common practice to combat Microsoft’s enshittification of Windows (besides dropping it altogether) will stop being “download this program and disable all the garbage with registry edits A-Z” to “download this fighting AI that will be in a constant battle with Microsoft’s AI to try and stop it from spying on you”.
I’ve noticed it getting worse as well. It ducking sucks now.
Thank you 🙏🏻 this is a great ELI5 for my smooth brain!
Man, this is what I fear trying to get into homelab’ing. I’m just so naive to networking I’m afraid I’ll break everything. The most I’ve ever accomplished was Plex on my PC, Plex app elsewhere and PC has to have Plex running to work. That and I built a NAS (when really I just wish it was a DAS I could tether to multiple PC’s at once), and I barely made it though tutorials to get that working.
I feel like I need to buy a textbook because I’m so clueless on the basics I can’t even get started, since almost any tutorial online assumes you know the bare bones basics. Like I literally don’t know what DHCP is, how it works, or even what it stands for.
At the very least your post has inspired me to try to start trying again. Maybe there’s a textbook I can pick up to start learning this super basic groundwork, or maybe a course online.
I used to love Xvape but now they’re on my shit list. I’ve had several iterations of the Cricket pen over the years, but the latest model auto shutoffs 15 seconds after the last button press. It’s fucking infuriating having to 5x click it back on each time.
Do you taste any metal with the Yocan? I have some live rosin and I tried it in the Pax attachment and it was so-so. I then tried it with an attachment from a cheaper vape pen, but it uses a coil to heat it up and it tastes like I’m smoking the coil more than anything else. Also, do you have any tips on how to manage the rosin? It’s so sticky!
“listen sweetheart, we’re in AMERICA right now, yeah? Well these were sent direct from the AMERICAN PRESIDENT, and you’re telling me they’re NO GOOD?”
The Linus that was promised.
Acroooooooss the room
Maybe this will actually make you ever so slightly less valuable to meta in the short term (presuming they honor your choices for these settings), but they’re still going to continue harvesting your data and can change their minds at any point in the future. Only way to truly become less valuable is to disappear from their gaze.
