personally i dont like light pollution because i want to see the stars. the issue of waste energy is important too but secondary to my goals.
both of us (the writer and I) want the same thing. I want less light being blasted into the sky and if i get what i want it means less energy waste, which is what you want. If you get what you want I still get what I want.
be pragmatic. the rest doesnt really matter.

15 years ago if i had a computer problem i could google the error message and find a solution on the first page of search results.
now its a complete swamp of AI trash but i think i found something worse
>problem: dragging emails out of outlook into another program causes outlook to hang
i start googling for this and come across an answers.microsoft.com page where someone has the same problem.
the OP is an indian badly describing the issue.
the first reply is another indian speaking in broken english. he reiterates the problem and instead of offering a solution only says "please be patient and wait for a reply"
the second reply is another indian not offering a solution, only telling the user how to use the feedback tool to report the problem to MS.
the thread is closed and there is no solution.
the only way this could be worse would be if someone mentioned SFC or to restart the computer.
every day i think i couldnt hate computers more and then i dig a little deeper

microsoft devs do not know where their nose ends and where their finger begins

piracy is morally right.

windows is such a complete dumpster fire that i should stop saying "install gentoo" and start saying "install windows"
honestly gentoo is probably easier to use than windows at this point
isnt paid software supposed to be premium and easier to use?

"I'm not going to buy anything" I tell myself as I walk into the gun store. "I'm just here to look around." I have 800 dollars in my pocket.

bring back trustbusting right now. im rapidly becoming a single issue voter and my single issue is "harm tech companies in every way imaginable"

microsoft thinks your production environment is their test environment.

the downside of learning russian is that captchas get a lot harder to complete once the alphabet becomes natural to you. i see a captcha like "SHPT" and i end up writing "CNRT" on accident.

on at least a weekly basis i make actionable threats about killing ms employees to my coworkers. they laugh, if not agree with me.
i think if i said "im actually going to do it" at least one of them would offer to go with me and another would pay gas money
