FB's glitchy lately, and I know it's their engineers struggling to cancel out the tools I use to fight back, which is why it's funny they think they can to glitch me into compliance. Make a bad thing less usable & it doesn't make me come groveling—it reminds me that I have a phone, tons of books & music, a roll of stamps, the fediverse, a library card, a bicycle, and the best friends in the universe. Revolution's comin', fuckfaces—pitchforks & torches are open source. #enshittification

I think my life's main quest is not for cosmic answers, not for validation, not for love, not for fame, wealth, or importance, but rather to find a re ally good chair.

Dog as my witness, I aim to come up with the perfect vegetarian Timballo alla Teramano recipe even if it takes a decade of trying, because oh my gosh I love Timballo Teramano so much.

I dislike "premium" as a marketing term, which is always a sign that they're marketing to the dumbest consumers among us.

Something I value about having spent most of my life with a low income is that I can never forget how stacked the system is against anyone who's not well off—we are penalized for not having money, punished for not having money, and kept behind a well-cultivated barrier between us and ever moving up. My personal fortunes have improved, but I will always know what I know, and that's that Western culture is tilted to the rich. Fuck 'em all.

What keeps me from veering from grumpiness about my species to outright nihilism, even when an awful lot of people seem to make dumb choices, is that it's not the fault of our individual lives that evolution built us to be riddled with security flaws in how we process the world around us, so bad ideas can easily infect us. You can't fault a toddler for failing calculus, and you have to let us off the hook for engineering mistakes. #misanthropy #proanthropy #forgiveness #longview #deeptime

@Vancouvery @scalzi The other notable thing for me is that cheap computers have long since surpassed my need for speed, and I could more or less do most of what I want to do with a computer with a RPi, so I'm an evangelist for the perfect hardware for the non-gamer computician.

@Vancouvery @scalzi I don't need one for myself, as I picked up a snazzy M4 Air a while back, but the Neo is something I'd recommend to a lot of people in my orbit, as it's a perfect just-enough computer for most things.

@scalzi The Neo seems like a no-brainer to me, especially if you can get the education price ($499). I hear about the "Apple tax," but I've been using Macs to make music for 35 years now and the "tax" really comes down to do you want to pay a little bit more up front and start working right away, or save more and spend a bunch of time getting a clunky OS to work properly. I've been curious about Windows for music, but the ongoing enshittification of 11 killed my curiosity.

@geonz I dunno—I see it in forums, too. We've all, as a culture, decided that we're supposed to be ad men for our shit. I'd rather learn new things about how my stuff works than hear about the next must-buy.

My big problem with music fora, gearhead fora, and seemingly every other kind of enthusiast community lately is that they're all about what to buy, and not how to get more out of what you've already got. #synthfluencers #gearheads #everyoneasalesman

I love my dentist and endodontist, but my inability to ever be numbed by any amount of anaesthesia in my molars short-circuited my dentist visit today and I'm mad at fish for inventing nerves in teeth. ARGH.
