That’s some protagonist syndrome.

We don’t need to weed out the vulnerable, we need to weed out the people that would exploit them.

I learned it as “PEBKAC”. Problem exists between keyboard and chair. PICNIC is nice too though.

Absolutely hate when my throat is cuntyescb’lee. A miserable time, that.

A yacht full of NFT owners is just about the last place in this universe that I’d want to be.

Just push them to darker parts of the internet why don’t cha?

All this “for the kids” shit is directly at the expense of the kids.

No!

Fire BIG. Big fire bad!

Run away!

It’s definitely not me. I don’t use that shit for anything. I hope it stays down forever.

A summary of what you need to know about the state of “business” in 2026.

Its not like there are zero uses for AI, its that the use cases they’re trying to shove down our throats are the worst ones.

I’m a certified AI hater, but I still use it on occasion to help with spreadsheet formulas.

Prohibition of AI does indeed prevent Bandcamp’s servers from being overwhelmed by the storage needs of slop “artists” and the gruel they call their “music”.

I’ve been re-reading LOTR lately and I like to put on Middle-Earth ambience in the background. Do you have any idea how much LOTR themed ambient slop is on YouTube? There are channels with over 100 videos, each exactly a 3-hour slopfest of sounds with HD/4k resolution slop art playing on screen.

Considering the vast majority of real artists might put out 5 hours of music in their entire careers, why the hell would bandcamp want to host hundreds of hours of fake music from a single source and pay for all that storage?

AI is a plague upon humanity. Bandcamp is on the right side of history and I’m happy to have my music on their platform.

Major labels have a presence on there too though.

They want their greasy tendrils all up in your PC’s guts. Every bit of info flowing in your system can be monetized. All they care about is money and dominance and their “AI” in everyone’s devices is their wet dream.

Cancer is preferable to tech bros as cancer doesn’t know its killing the host. Tech bros know full well their actions are killing the planet and its inhabitants. Their actions are willfully vile and toxic; completely at odds with the needs of humanity.

Don’t expect them to ever do the right thing for anyone but themselves.

Mainly just the satisfaction of supporting a project we like. IIRC, my Mom’s PC is on the version they’re sunsetting too. Pretty sure we’re gonna need to update it anyway.

My mom loves Zorin OS! We’re strongly considering the pro version now.

Rust is repairable unless the frame’s structural integrity has been compromised. That much rust is an oddity, even in the rust belt. Many owners undercoat their vehicles which significantly prolongs the life of the vehicle.

If you’re really against purchasing a modern car, as I am, you still have plenty of options.

A new car is going to cost you thousands anyway. Why not just invest that money in a car you already like?

There’s plenty of older cars sitting in used lots. You can avoid newer cars if you buy one of those or simply keep up with the maintenance on your vehicle. Even if the engine dies, its replaceable.

I wish Youtube operated like a PiHole where you could upload a list of channels and block them all in one fell swoop.

I’d wager 70% of what’s on Spotify is not worth preserving since its AI slop.

Yup. Limitation just 'cause. Capitalism at work.
