Oh no not the British Virgin Islands! Won’t somebody quickly run and check if all the oligarchs’ money is OK??

Not so many years ago, computer users - like us - needed faster processors and more RAM because we literally couldn’t run what *we* needed in what we had.

These days it feels like computer users need more power and more storage because *developers* want it.

Browsers use gigabytes of RAM not because they’re giving users a better experience. They need it because corporate shitheads want to load a hundred third-party trackers in any given website.

Apps need 32GB of ram not because rendering a spreadsheet is hard, but because a pack of shithead developers poked with pitchforks by a bunch of shithead executives WANT TO STEAL YOUR ATTENTION AND YOUR DATA.

I think you understand my point here…

Dumb jokes with #3dprinting :

A stool sample

Apparently TikTok are wanging on about putting Worcestershire sauce on crisps (potato chips) because Adele said so and I’m over here screaming “YES THANKS FOR LITERALLY REINVENTING THE 1970s YOU TWATS”

Trying to slog through the inevitable GenAI marketing guff.

No, don’t care. Fuck off. I’m not interested in a global project to consolidate knowledge under the control of a small cabal of fascist billionaires, thanks.

Meetups ain’t what they used to be…

Fucking dystopian bullshit this. They have five minutes to turn it around then I’m the fuck out of here.

Might go back to the pub actually.

7pm, failure to turn it round. There’s some sit-stand game bullshit which is VERY autism-incompatible. Back to the pub.

I don’t know if they’re just failing to recognise that this push to AI is *disempowering* or if they know it and they don’t care.

The first 15 minutes of that AWS meetup was literally "AI AI AI", and nobody seemed annoyed that what's happening here is the ownership class consolidating "coding knowledge" into a bunch of giant data centers so they can disempower the uppity coding masses who they currently *need* to make their dystopian visions come true.

And the junior coding masses are lapping it up, because it makes it look like they can do software wheelies.

In fact, they're not doing software wheelies AT ALL.

Biff Jeezus's big computer in the sky is doing the wheelies, and as soon as their bosses realise they're now replacable because their "expertise" lives in a cloud service that can be rented for pennies on the dollar, those "engineers" are fucking GONE.

Get good at woodworking. There are two major growth industries in our future

1. Guillotines & Gibbets
2. Kink furniture

First, we deal with the billionaires. Then we fuck.

"Oh but what can we do about it? AI is coming whether we like it or not"

If I ever fix my chronic inability to address to-do lists, I am in SERIOUS trouble.

Honestly I think I’ve found the most hilariously effective #ADHD anxiety fix ever.

When I find my brain starting a worry spiral, I take the topic that’s causing it, and write it on a dedicated to-do list.

The ADHD then takes care of that by never, ever thinking about it again.

Anybody doing a print run of the Elon salute on vinyl stickers in order to guerilla a bunch of Teslas?

Not that I would suggest such a thing, obviously.

It’s no wonder disabled people just opt-out of public life so much.

Completely infuriating, unjust, unnecessary and in many cases it’s flat-out fucking illegal. But the discrimination continues and I hate it.
