As a person who works in tech and is an early adopter for almost every new gizmo out there, I feel that we were better off back in the day when stuff was all analog and things were done manually.
Sure it was inconvenient, but it made us experience the world more and actually interacted with real people. I have crappy social skills and I have seen the change in myself over the years. I get anxious when my phone rings now, as opposed to being excited back in the day.
Microservices and general "everything in the cloud" sentiment is stupid, it has ridiculous oerformance overheads and adds single points of failure that can easily prevent half the world from functioning.
Now, I fart in public and really don't care. It's liberating.
Notifications fucking suck, if it isn't either my alarm or my grandma's emergency button, my phone ain't gonna do a damn thing to alert me.
I find incredibly strange that people think it's normal to walk around with earbuds in at all times. When did that become acceptable? (I know it's the release of the airpod, but still, wtf?)
I can't believe how many people I see with them in when they drive and ride their bikes.
Also looking at your phone while driving. How in the hell is that so common?
CLI > GUI on PC.
Gui with keyboard shortcuts is the right mix of efficient and approachable imo
Sure, if you live and breath the same tools 24/7.
I like the concept but feel like an idiot everytime I have to google "How do I [insert simple task here]" because I can't remember the syntax, where a GUI would handheld me in a much better way through finding back what I used to be familiar with.
Majority of the music today is just plain trash. I can't even bring myself to listen to these tracks
Here's the secret, that's always been the case. We only remember the good stuff
Nobody should be able to profit off boring industries. Utility (power, water, telephony (which includes internet), banking, insurance.
Cap the profits at an arbitrary number that keeps up with inflation and allows for expanding business basic needs like staffing and inventory. Large investments should be reviewed and approved by regulating bodies and monies allocated and investments must be met with progress goals that achieve the completion of the project in full. None of this "Thanks for the monies, lol bye" bullshit.
"no mow may" and "bee friendly lawns" are just an excuse to justify being too lazy to take care of your property. Idgaf if you don't want to have a lawn, but plant flowers or plants that actually help pollinators. Leaving 2ft tall grass just harbors ticks and looks terrible.
Lawns are stupid anyway. Grow some berries, plant flowers, anything but a boring useless lawn.
