social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button

i started the netizen club and the link cache, to help my yearning for a simpler internet: https://links.netizen.club/

i'm looking for work. if you know anyone who needs someone with 8+ years professional experience plumbing nearly any sort of bespoke tech, talk to me.

if you like a post where a person is talking about killing themselves that means that you like that that person wants to kill themselves, there is no other interpretation for the wording x has liked your post that i can infer in good faith and this is why i tell people not to like my negative posts unless they like that i'm in misery because if you want to convey anything else you have 26 letters and punctuation at your disposal

there's something about "computers built by companies who wanted to use up their inventory of VCR chassis" that really appeals to me

lol @ this post not having an embed because my instance does not take remote webp media

QRT @kajer https://infosec.exchange/@kajer/115426518652685730

so much for communication, lmfao

saw something cool on another account and wanted to boost here but that's how i found out someone i never talked to has me blocked so whatever

breaking kayfabe for a moment OSes are tools and you use what works for you

and Linux desktop environments never worked for anybody lol

this is how linux people talk about windows btw

it's funny to watch linux struggle in 2025 with issues windows solved in 95

i just think the same people with a lust for the command line and a disdain for the newfangled mouse and graphics adapter should not be allowed to push their half-baked desktop environments upon others

i'm not anti Linux. i love Linux. even some of my servers are Linux

i'm convinced people who don't have daily issues caused by using Linux are only ever using the web browser and nothing else

#linux is worse than #windows in every regard

the main two problems in computing are off by one errors and dns. unless you use linux in which case you get a third problem no other operating system has invented yet which is denying you file permissions even if all chown and chmods are perfectly correct just to piss you off

steve jobs' open letter on flash is to computers what "reagan elected president" is as a temporal data point in socioeconomical graphs

sometime after steve jobs killed flash computing as a whole lost all its whimsy

when is the last time you've seen a funny screensaver

ludonarrative pissonance or whatever

it's a little funny to me how certain people will with the same breath demonize windows because "the NT kernel is evil" and also say that ARM and RISC-V will never be serious competitors to x86
