  • I would be more interested in themed favicon sets like on Android or Linux DE’s, and any way that would avoid Google or lock-in/forced updates to such as with the Play store or Windows I would avoid like the plague.

    Gimme back .dll’s full of icons I can create and edit to my liking. For modernization, meta-text(url or application name) for each icon instead of referencing “icon #x in this .dll”, and a format more usefull than .dll’s full of icons that all have to be the same size(and .tiff, .giff, or bitmaps at that, when jpeg and vector formats exist), but that’s about it.

    All this re-inventing-the-wheel/web2.0/3.0 shit is geared towards creating dependency and lock-in in the stupidest ways possible.


  • My youngest son has a story just like this, but he would have been a toddler without anything to play Roblox on in that time-frame.

    Damn, I wish he liked anything like beetles or stamps or whatever, even half as much as he likes the most disappointing sorts of video games, and no, I don’t mean trash games, I mean abandonware of the RFID/janky-peripherals variety. Oh, and fortnight/roblox.






  • Don’t forget Ghost jobs and all the temp/recruitment agencies out there, but I did forget the “I never hire anyone” bit until your comment prompted me to check the pic again. Also, listings that only exist certain nepotism or racial/class hires, but they stild have to interview x number of excluded candidates for appearances’ sake.

    Personally, there were a few times I was head-hunted by what turned out to be middlemen trying to fill a quota. No in-person interviews, but to say the jobs they were recruiting for were a bad fit for my public credentials would be an understatement.

    I assure you, corporate non-sense knows no bounds, and I’m happy for you, that you’ve had the luck to avoid encountering some of the worst and most demoralizing of it.





  • That’s why you never stop at just one hustle!

    Enough scale, and why would you keep your day-job? … but you don’t have to be smart-enough for that to buy-into and sell this lifestyle!

    Congrats on pin-pointing why I leave my own true potential for grift and hustle on the table, save for moments of desperation where inaction would otherwise cost my family. That is to say, I sometimes borrow money from my mom, and that’s plenty evil enough for me.
