Notices by I’m Tired And Everything Hurts (guffo@topspicy.social)

I miss the days when NFTs were the stupidest thing I'd ever heard of.

If a new Linux user asks for a distro recommendation and you suggest Arch, then you've fundamentally misunderstood the words "new user"

I had a bit of a realisation the other day. I was wondering why I'm nostalgic for what's essentially just old timey corporate products (Amiga, Sun Microsystems, Classic Mac Stuff, etc) and then it dawned on me.

These things had to survive on the merit of being good products. They weren't constantly trying to fuck me over or harvest my data/money.

@camilla Cheers dude. I don’t really drink at home, but I do do it every time I go out. To the point of getting blackout fucked. Having 3 beers turns me into someone who wants 10, you know?

For me, the issue is the social anxiety aspect. I’m pre-warning my mates that I won’t be on the sauce next time we go see a band. It’s gonna be tough!

Cradle of Filth and Nervosa are playing at one of our local places a couple of days after, so I shall go to that instead! (I would have gone to it as well anyway.)

HAHA the "gold" standing tickets are currently sitting at £2900 each. Fuck offffff.

For that price, I'd want Ozzy himself to give me a wristy

COMPLAINING: A mate's Mrs had priority access to the Black Sabbath tickets early today. They were supposed to be £265 each, which I'd braced myself for, but they're using dynamic pricing based on demand and they immediately shot to over £400 per ticket. That can go fuck itself, unfortunately. #metal #fuck

Merry Xmas!

As always, if you’re feeling rough because of family issues or whatever, today I’m legally your dad and I approve of you. You’re doing great.

I’m not lending you any money.

Pirate everything. Who gives a fuck anymore? Steal some joy from the abyss.

You know who else is technically an incredibly advanced Large Language Model machine? C-3PO.

Would you trust C-3PO to do something without fucking it up or getting in the way? Of course not. Get real.

I was concerned about finding another non-Chrome, non-Mozilla browser that actually supports modern web sites but then I remembered that modern websites are awful and I’d rather not visit them.

The new AI sponsor of NaNoWriMo says not writing your novel with AI is ‘classist and ableist’.

Counterpoint: Internet person, Guffo, says that any creative challenge where the sponsor is an AI company trying to shame people into using the Plagiarism Engine to do their creative work for them can suck his nuts and buttcheeks.

@girlonthenet I get the fear when I write scripts to automatically deploy software to people at work. I can't imagine the butthole-puckering that writing the code to safely land people on the FUCKING MOON would give me

America: This is our Prime Minister winning his seat in parliament

@anon_opin well fuck

My son and his friend are in my lounge. It's all skibidy rizz this and ohio gyat that. I've told them both that they talk a lot of "utter shite" but they called me a bumbaclaat.

@fesshole That feels low to me, but I guess I can’t argue with Science

@NanoRaptor Just my opinion, but if you want the ULTIMATE ThinkPad, then it has to be the one with the butterfly keyboard. The Thinkpad 701

@NanoRaptor I mean, LOOK

At this point, you’re less likely to be catastrophically owned by downloading a cracked copy of Windows Vista from a Russian torrent site than buying a new copy of Windows 11.
