I believe that some technological ideas can work. The problem is that ideas that are under people like Musk, are doomed to always fail and will be seen as negative.

Elon Musk sucks.

I think we need to take our fear away from Terminator and apply it moreso to something like HAL. HAL is more realistic now than a cybernetic Terminator is.

But did anyone ever say that you HAD to subscribe to everything? No.

I must be one of the few people in a group who have a better control in what they feel they can subscribe to.

Adobe expects me to pay monthly for Photoshop? No, fuck you, I’ve got GIMP and a number of other paint and photo manipulation programs.

Microsoft expects me to pay for Office 365? No, fuck you, I’ve got LibreOffice and your older Office software still works as good. Your word processing program, Word, hasn’t really changed that much since 2007 or even 2003. Hell, maybe not since 1997!

I understand this video highlights some of the more draconian practices of subscription services and they deserve to be. But also, people really really need to learn about alternatives instead of feeling like they’ve got to subscribe to something that they never had to in the first place.

Also, no, you do not need smart-everything. Leave all of the smart-appliance shit for the richies who happily throw money down on that and let them waste their time and money on the susbcriptions involving them. You don’t need them, have some self-respect and know that the dumb versions of those smart things still are just as good and effective.

I roll my eyes at the dishonest bad faith takes people have in the comments about how people do the same thing behind the wheel. Like that’s going to make autopiloting self-driving cars an exception. Least a person can react, can slow down or do anything that an unthinking, going-by-the-pixels computer can’t do at a whim.

No I don’t because I’ve had time to make meals and there are other foods out there that substitute fast food that can be acquired in short time frames. Fast Food isn’t all that exists, you know.

Everything else you’ve said is just word salad and just excuses to be lazy.

If you’re injured and you survive with the scarring from said injuries. Well, good luck because you’re now going to wear those and wish you had died from them. If you’re incapacitated or amputated? Gotta live with that for years and years.

I’ve always had this answer for any of these kinds of questions. I would never say anything to them, but I’d give them a USB flashdrive. In it are a series of documents and pictures. They’re of things of importance that I’ve listed. Things of what to do and not do, people to meet earlier than later and things I’ve noted.

It’s always a funny situation when one big tech corp accuses another big tech corp of a practice they all know too well in how it functions.

These corps always love dumping dirt on eachother at any opportunity, while practicing the very exact thing that they’ve accused said other tech corp of doing.

Microsoft, you silly hypocrites.

No, unfortunately.

And whoever it is, whoever they thought that this was the “right thing” to do or however they go about justifying their arbitrary goals known only to them. I hope they get fucked.

And it’s why people stress to death that documenting is important. Even if you may not have time to review every single code, it wouldn’t hurt to leave footnotes as to where someone could take said code to pick up from where it left off.

If you leave somebody with nothing then it’s dead code.

I like the hours being dialed back. Whenever they’re dialed forward, it feels like time moves even faster than when it did beforehand. I didn’t like that feeling. Feels like everything is just being rushed and rushed.

Grace Periods.

I’m glad I know them now, because for the longest time, I thought I was in a fucked situation whenever my finances were tight. Like if I was due a bill and my pay cannot cover it because of the dates being different. It used to make think that I had to take a hit and just roll with it. But no, some of my bills allow me a brief grace period where I can gather resources in time. Sometimes I’ll even stretch my money beyond some grace periods if it means that I can upkeep some resources then just pay the difference later.
