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

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

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.

many people say lower decks is the first star trek comedy but i think that title belongs to enterprise

this thing happens really often, but the latest one that happened to me this week was with desktop icons. after an update, the selection rectangle around them looks weird and different, and the icons are the wrong size, they're clipped so you can't see the icon fully or read the label. haven't attempted to fix it, will probably take at least an hour. it makes me feel like the computer isn't really mine. it belongs to a bunch of nerds who keep making weird mistakes. a kind of clumsy nerd cabal

a big reason i use linux is because it gives me Control over the computer. no windows dark pattern spying shit. i can set up everything to look and function exactly how i want. but every couple months there's a package update that overrides or changes something so it no longer works how i configured it. they just reached in and broke something i worked hard on. and i have no choice in this, because you need to eventually update packages to install new ones. i don't really feel in Control at all
