“STUPID FUCKING SMELLY NERDS”

I stopped using it regularly several years ago, then I come back to help someone install it and it took me more time than I want to admit to figure out how to make a local account that wasn’t attached to a Microsoft cloud account.

The article is about Altair BASIC. That one was actually homegrown.

No, you’re supposed to smoke it, not fuck it.

Who asked for this? Did y’all ask for this? I don’t remember asking for this.

Looks around room in confusion

Option three: YOLO it and be the first to come up with a working config for it after ripping your hair out for weeks.

And then never tell the rest of the Internet…

Actually, my distaste for Big Tech is nothing new. It’s been building for decades.

First, little stuff like the inkjet printer that you invited into your house that claims to need, “Just a little more cyan, bro. I’ll print your black and white page after I get my cyan. Come on, bro.”

That’s because it needs to print the tracking dots on every page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

Excuse me? 🤨

Starts handing out the complementary cat ears, miniskirt, and programming socks to incoming Windoze users.

But video is so damn annoying. If you wanna copy-paste something from the video, you’re fucked unless you pause and type each character by hand. I don’t get it.

But then again I’m not a zoomer.

Imagine your oven or clothes iron turning itself on while you’re not home. Why TF people just accept their computers doing this is beyond me. Either it’s a boiling frog situation, or people simply don’t remember the times us users had complete control over our devices and think things were always this way.

As an 80s/90s kid, I can tell you they most definitely were not.

Well…yes?

Like living in a house constantly undergoing a remodel. Sometimes the plumber is going to accidently route the toilet drain pipe to the shower head before the inspector gets there to check it.

I’m a millennial but I didn’t own my own PC until I was like 21 (even then, half the parts in it were handmedowns from my Dad). I would have never been able to afford a laptop of the time. Computers are an expensive purchase all at once. Phones come with subsidized plans. That’s probably why you see a lot more bias towards them.

MacOS is actually officially “UNIX” though. It has that going for it.

I don’t know, I have a pet programming project of my own I’ve been messing around with on and off for a year, but you know what? I get it. It starts with a single, simple goal. Every project can become a TempleOS if you let it.
