Goddammit no, I’m not going back to fuckin Chrome

Yeah, and my last car was from the 80s lmfao. After seeing the way my coworkers were practically beholden to mechanic shops just to keep their cars running like every six months, I said ‘no thank you’.

“Just get a console then bro”

Guhhhhhh, yeah, sure, let’s play into console wars and exclusivity bullshit and dumping nearly a grand every three years when a well-built PC will last you ten. Nahhhhhh, familia.

A lot of my problem there is a solid half the games I play and make mods for run through EAC, so I’d be losing outright hobbies, not just slop.

Wish I could empathize, but I refuse to trust a car I can’t fix myself. There’s entirely too many computers and entirely too many points of failure-- it’s a good thing that I’m medically ‘advised’ not to drive. I wouldn’t be able to switch over until someone released an EV with the kinds of home-maintainability that like. A 60’s Mustang once had.

I’m not tryna have to wheel the shit into a Firestone-- or god forbid the manufacturer themselves-- just to have to pay hand-over-fist to fix the errors borne of their shoddy fuckin work.

Pff. Fuck him. The minute advertisers whined Do Not Track into being a glorified radio button for the equivalent of an unplugged controller, it’s been up and stuck for advertisers afaic. I will run the strongest ad-blocks I can, fuzz my browser fingerprint as hard as I can, and do everything in my power to spoil my track behind me. Yes, if it’s advancing the worst vices of capitalism, it’s fucking evil.

Oh, they definitely A/B Test. Not even A/B in our case, it’s like A/B/C/D/E/F Testing lmfao.

The only time Ublock Origin was wonky for me was that strip of time where Youtube was outright blocking videos if they detected a blocker-- that time, none of the documentation on “how to make Ublock work during this time” worked for me; but it cleared up a few months back and not a single issue since.

Oh god fucking dammit how the blue fuck does Mozilla still think they can partner with sheisty-assed third parties and think we won’t run that shit down?

So what, “intellectual property for the megacorps, not for the end users”? Tfu. I spit on that opinion. If you’re gonna slob robber baron low quarters, at least wipe the polish off your lips before you come talk to us

Ahahahahahahahahahaha damn I’m so happy I retreated back to GIMP and Paint.NET.

It is genuinely funnier than a fuck in a clown car how settlers can only identify prejudice and xenophobia when it’s aimed at them.

Been using the same copy of photoshop for about ten or so years. Definitely not winning any converts by calling people who prioritize their workflow “whiners” either; you sound like another tribal techbro tryna play up console wars but for PCs to me.

(Are not from an authoritarian country that has shady spying practices and uses slave labour)

So you’re not buying Frameworks, Acers, Hewlett-Packards, or Lenovos then? The NSA codified ‘shady spying practices’ via domestic spying on their own people, and we’ve been using prison slaves since the drafting of the 14th Amendment.

Unfortunately, I can’t be. None of my creative tools work on Linux, and the alternatives all have less functionality and/or a steeper learning curve.
