I’m assuming you were going for “petty,” not rhapsodizing about the UI on the error.

I’m an old guy (started with Photoshop 5 – not CS5; 5), and GIMP has never felt like software trying to help me accomplish a goal. It’s the vi of image editors.

There’s a reason I’m still rocking CS6. Fuck you for wanting me to pay monthly.

I mean, I’m going to drop or sit on the thing in half that time. But allow a man to dream …

I’m of the same mind. I did make an exception for a Pixel 9a because, well, that seven years of updates starts from the day it went on sale, so shaving a few years off that for minimal savings didn’t seem ideal.

Oh, I drink lots of beer while not wanting to call attention to my rave on wheels.

Pouring one out for Soyo … damn, were those some solid motherboards.

Calm down. The phone jack isn’t coming back.

Oregon has had a law on the books for decades that grocers need to price everything the same within a given region. This is part of how grocery circulars are practical. The added expense of printing a different flyer for each store (and then working with the paper to zone correctly, but single-copy is still going to be an issue) negated the increased income from store-to-store pricing that allowed for high margins in some cases.

I don’t remember the last time I looked at a grocery ad – wait, no, I do … it was May 2023 – so this is of less relevance as we transition to apps, but this doesn’t really seem to be about collecting personal data so much as “prices vary geographically,” which isn’t really news.

Wait until you hear about the efficiency of ICEs! (The cars, not the trains.)

Well, that settles it. We must invade Greenland.

I’d just be using it so that I don’t have to be plugged in all the damn time, as is needed with my daily driver.

My whole goal is to just have a browsing machine. My main laptop is four years old (same age as the Chromebook, actually), but the battery has degraded to the point that I’m lucky to get a half-hour not being plugged in. Given the storage limitations, even VLC would be an extravagance, so I was just looking to do a somewhat slim install that gets me Firefox. I’d love to do KDE Neon, but that’s a bit overkill for a single-app use case.

Yes, but it shits in the Mutara Nebula.

Mint is actually cheaper. I switched to them a decade ago.

I mean, I pay $204 a year all in for service. How people can spend that much in two months is beyond me.

That at least skips the need to legally change my name.

That’s a Lemmy formatting thing.

Most likely fucked you?

Whoa, whoa, whoa … expecting utility out of a product? That’s socialism!
