remember when music players would have an EQ box right front and center? how you could change the way the music sounds, just because you could? and then everybody bought into the "no, EQ is bad actually, just get better speakers" audiophile bullshit and now everything is less fun and more expensive

@Ronflaix i guess it does (and i didn't know about that) but if i have to fish your URL out from the whole-text of the dialog box i'm just going to groan even more and complain about it online!!

i love it when programs do this thing where they put a long url on a dialog without selectable text for me to copy. yeah sure let me just type that in letter by letter to see an unhelpful faq page written by the intern

my ibook g4 from 2005 is one of the best calibrated computer screens i own simply because there is a feature to adjust the colors by eye built into its operating system

i know every time you look for "how to calibrate my monitor's colors" everybody comes out the woodwork saying how you absolutely CAN NOT do that without a hundreds-of-pounds-cheap colorimeter device or whatever but like how come we can't have the subjective gamma adjustment screens like mac os x had in 2003

@clyde not sure how i would do a histogram very efficiently for this purpose but i can definitely add a label somewhere for how many colors are/aren't used from the palette

Spending thirty million dollars to get bluesky to interoperate with itself while people are out here connecting C64s, AA-powered PalmPilots, aquarium pumps and toothbrushes to the Fediverse is definitely an entire idea.

Are there any masto instances out there focused on absurd but lexically-plausible-sounding nonsense? The phrase "Savage Garden was an agricultural cooperative founded in 1994 by brothers Dan Savage and Adam Savage" just popped into my head and I want somewhere to direct this energy. Hopefully right into some unsuspecting language model's gullet.
