I know y'all here in my timeline aren't their audience but... What the hell does it say about society that people pay $45 for chunky plastic "gold" chain jewelry toys at sporting events? That they'll probably throw in the trash (or at least a closet never to be seen again) within a week […]

#qnap, we need to talk.
Your "automatically install firmware updates" setting is utterly useless, because it apparently refuses to update when the system has been up for "too long" between updates and you want to do a reboot before update.
Just do the damned reboot and then the update. Don't […]

Fediverse pals, if your instance is run by a non-profit organization or a volunteer, now is a good time to see if they need a donation.
I don't take for granted my instance moderators @tim @josh @crs @doug, especially as all other forms of social media enshittify.

Thanks #capitalism, instead of reducing prices you're consolidating streaming into fewer, bigger, inevitably more expensive, services. That's NOT really what we wanted when we complained about streaming service proliferation being out of control...

Question for the white-collar workers on here: Are you a member of a union? If so, which one and what has your experience been?
I want to test a theory that blue-collar workers tend to be more organised than their professional sisters and brothers.

I've thought more about it and decided I did a net societal harm by returning the shoes I bought last week and re-buying them on Black Friday sale.

I want us to have better ways to communicate with each other, but ... will anyone use it? Will it actually be horrible? Am I overthinking everything?
