To wield or to use. Either is fine with me!

20 years will do that.

Yeah but how could they sell you on subscription services and ‘new features’ if you just keep using the old one?

Bit like buying a new car for no other reason than “it’s new”.

That said, in 2018~ i had to modernize an MS Access 2003 database and about lost my mind so there’s a case for everything i suppose.

Yep. still driving my old civic until the wheels fall off, and then even at that if the frame and engine are still good, ill just get more wheels.

We’ll see in another 3-5 years what mid 2010s cars are holding up for 200k+ miles and get one of them used.

Remember folks, the best way to drive eco is to not create more car waste in the first place. Mpg/utility/usability all come second. Take basic care of your car, dont buy junk.

Jeff bezos is tied to slate. Thats unfortunately all i need to know. Such a shame.

Nope!

Amusingly there is a very large overlap in the companies that want to try to force ai tech crap onto their workers, but dont limit admin controls for users.

But to be more specific, what i meant by work-controlled is that you cant just install linux on a work machine or uninstall office products for alternatives due to company licensing.

Nothing preventing you from just not using that crap though of course but at that point you know your own company limits than i would so god speed!

Last thing you’d probably want to do is be forced into sitting in a class with Mr.MiddleManager / Mr.NepotismHire to go over why these AI products are actually good for you and they arent happy you circumvented that.

Ah you are indeed correct. I’m probably thinking of classic paint, not notepad.

Either way, i have the downloader for ye old notepad and paint tucked away on and off my machine for future sake when my company middle management decides they want to try to push the new AI tools down our throats for productivity again.

Yep precisely this.

Notepad is where stuff i dont care about 5minutes from now goes to die.

Notepad++ is stuff ill probably take to my grave, or at least til next week.

For folks who cannot do this due to it being a work-controlled machine or otherwise, you can use notepad++. (Obviously id rather this be a tipping point to ditch all the junk at once, but sometimes that isnt feasible)

That said, i find i still need a throwaway notepad for fast trashy notes. In that case ive just uninstalled the new notepad and re-downloaded the legacy notepad then re-aimed “notepad.exe” to the legacy one.

There are a few guides out there, just search your standard “how to get legacy notepad”

I think there’s an angle for people who wish they could take part in the good drawing too.

It’s like that kid in school that would trace a really good drawing and then change the color a bit and say they did it themselves, but for adults. ‘Aren’t you happy i made it better?’ Just equates to me as ‘i want attention for the art too’

The sad part of course being that instead of even having the guile to pick up a utensil and trace it themselves, they just copy paste it to a program and become a middle man for downloading and uploading an image.

Setting aside the ‘soul’ of the drawing or how it appears visually, it’s just sad to watch someone make a cheap facsimile of the thing you made at the cost of a few mouse clicks and making the climate a tiny bit worse.

All that just for ‘siel’

This obviously may not be the case, but those scribbles may be an effort to cover up scars of past self-harm (or reclaim it), albeit yes quite shittily lol. Ive seen a few of those sadly.

900lbs is 4 fat adults. My sedan could haul that.

As a treat

Rhinestone eyes in my ass

Reddit melts down after every release. Idk if thats indicative of bad launches every time, or if we’ve just trained reddit to moan every time something new happens.

I myself couldnt play much last night due to that crash that they fixed 5hrs~ after launch (which tbf is pretty quick) so i figured id just call it a night and instead enjoy my time this weekend on it.

Huntress / spear skills felt fun and fast, but a little weak. (They apparently already nerfed a ton of hp off early mobs)

I definitely enjoy the slower leveling pace more than endgame (at least last patch)

If poe1 had WASD controls id enjoy it more too i think.

Either way, love PoE(1&2). Its such a refreshing game compared to a few other aprg’s. Probably closest to scratch the impossible itch of nostalgia-brain diablo2.

Sir! That graph with ‘number go up’ has been completed! We’ll have another on your desk first thing in the morning.

My response to google or any of their adjacents is “wait people are seeing ads?”

Even though i know that yes, the majority do just let the ads blare into their brain. I just don’t engage with them to a point that it surprises me people still have energy to complain about em.

Recently told one of my friends about ublock and he was flabbergasted. He’d been just raw dogging the internet since its creation. Was more surprised he never stopped to think “maybe it doesn’t have to be like this.”

Selling you 10 year old hardware at modern prices so you can play pokemon with stutters and freezes. Classic

And dont forget the hip/shoulder action for a bit more oomph. For home runs.

Is it? I dont see any correlation between concernedApe and chucklefish.

Were you thinking of starbound?
