Folks behind me at the Peet's keep dragging their chairs across the floor and it's vibrating my bones in their joints. If they weren't like 87 years old I'd ask them to just lift the goddamn things but alas

If you are, say, a printer company, one that hypothetically starts with B and ends with rother, and your Max OS label making software for your label printers is available through the App Store but has NO OPTION for a standalone or direct download?
Walk the damn plank.

I just figured this out. Google throttles video quality if they detect an adblocker is being used. So videos I watch on Brave have problems buffering even at 720, but the same video has no problem going 1440 on Zen (with no adblocking)
Is it just me, or is YouTube's bandwidth in the shitter? I've noticed everything I watch plays at 480p even though my internet speed is well over 50 Mbps

This is from March but I still think about it and find myself wondering if this is, you know, a viable system of government that can be saved or deserves to be saved.
I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

there’s a thing here about for the last decade or so, online people have been very negative about small talk - the weather, or local news, or whatever - and small talk is the grease that keeps physical interactions going, and i am tired of ceding that to shut-ins
i say thank you to the bus driver when i get on and yell thank you when i get off every day i ride the bus, and i take two buses to and from work, being nice and friendly costs you nothing and should be your default expectation for yourself because it improves your day and everyone else’s day
Being nice to people is just fun. Asked young server at taco place how her day was going (fine but tired) and she asked me back. I said I managed to finish my to-do list and she unexpectedly gave me a high five! Treating people like people is always rewarding.

Google throttling/breaking YouTube playback on FFox with UBlock origin installed is so fucking heinous.

I've always found the convergent developments of the video game and music industries interesting.
AAA games are the equivalent of pop music - meant for mass consumption, meant to appeal to as many demos as possible, minimal creative risk.

I think the enormous budgets of AAA games force them to target as broad an audience as possible while taking as few risks as possible, resulting in them largely becoming bland

When did it become de rigeur for socmed apps (FB and LinkedIn being the most egregious so far) to push a notification that says "hey you may have missed some notifications"????
I missed them because you couldn't pay me to give a fuck about them but once in a blue moon I might need your platform
