Same, this wave is smearing shit over the technical hobby turned career that I’ve loved since forever that I can remember. My recent desire to rewind and redo makes me feel old AF. I used to think individuals were fundamentally good and more connection would be better.

Instead we have this. The first collective decisions are to kill minorities and fuck everything for nihilistic suicide. That, apparently, is Who We Are. We are, as a whole, Pieces of Shit.

The structure is broken. I believe we are better than that. But we are so far into a dead end branch of the decision tree we can’t all see this is BS, and so individuals who make the group are so deluded that they are actually pieces of shit.

Same. I just kept diluting the liquid with 0% nicotine until, months later, I realized I didn’t even want to vape any more.

The enshittification of streaming has pushed me towards watching old series like this on DVD, and I’ve been enjoying it.

Holy crap that newspaper’s site is a dumpster fire of popups and ads.

Utilize, when they mean Use.

Meanwhile when I turn off Bluetooth on my iPhone it says “for the next y hours” and there’s no option to turn it off permanently.

Yep. My fam does the same thing.

I wish work profiles were more separate. My company’s work profile ended up locking me out of my phone (including the personal profile) and forced me to wipe and start over with it. They disabled fingerprint unlock and required my unlock password to change monthly, and I got the periodic “you have to change your password NOW” notice while plugged into my car with Android Auto. I couldn’t enter a new password and the phone never unlocked again.

I know, probably a super rare set of circumstances, but I’m not going to allow my work to root my phone again. They can buy me a phone if they need so much control.

Yes. Most people stop making more when they have enough.

People who don’t stop are already broken and corrupted. They have nothing better to do. No better idea. No other desire. Than to accumulate more. It’s degenerate, sad, to keep wanting more, to feel that hunger when it is already satiated. Like a rat addicted to cocaine, still pushing itself to push the button for more and more.
