@stux @web3isgreat You know what really pisses me off? These idiots losing all of this money, how did they get it to begin with? Meanwhile Im barely making rent, yet and while IM not an economist, I know enough that if you dump a shitton of a thing on a market the value of said thing collapses, Like _what the fuck_ guys.

@stux @web3isgreat I know. I mined BTC back in the early days when it was pennies... until I got my first power bill; then I said "this is fucking stupid". (sadly no, I don't have that wallet - sigh. I had a few dozen BTC). I did make a few grand when DOGE spiked a few years back (I mined that and sent a chunk to fund that NASCAR driver, build a school - it was fun, what DOGE was supposed to be) and I helped someone recover a wallet.. but that was speculation and luck more than anything.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon And like King Midas of old, after the rest of the world has transitioned to renewables, despite, and in spite of, America, they will be stuck holding millions of barrels of worthless oil, and nothing to eat, as empty as a dried up oil well.-- some rando on the internet

I was sending an #email and warned my 19y that I would cc him. Then I was explaining what #cc= #carboncopy meant. Then I was explaining what carbon paper / old ditto machine (#photcopier predecessors) meant. Then I felt fucking #old.

@libreleah This is a good example counter to the "throw it out and rewrite it" mentality. I see dozens and dozens of things in here that were obviously lessons learned the hard way.

"An ad blocker is preventing this page from loading."No, my #adblocker is preventing your #ADs from loading. The fact that the REST of your page refuses to load if the ads dont load, well that sounds like a YOU problem.

Do any of these CMS and online-ad platform/network #productmanagers realize that if they were to just go back to unobtrusive only-static-image ads embedded in the html of the page itself I would fucking put eyeballs on those? But noooo, we gotta have modal popups and pay-gates and minimize-in-the-corner auto-play videos. This worked just fine until 2010 then ya went and ballzed it up.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Yup. It all comes down to "things are different. and I don't like that." and then refusing to try something new.

@neil @feff Ah, the saga of bloodninja. (Historical archives for the childrens: http://megalomaniac.com/~andrew/funny/bloodcyber.html)That ranks up there with All Your Base and other treasures from `Internet BC` (Before Capture - maybe it should be `BE` for Before #enshittification )

@Gargron So.... does this mean custom native Mastodon UI css and scripting on a per-user, or per-instance basis will be officially supported sometime?

@libreoffice Ugh, I knew most of this, this post still made me angry. Ok - most of the document.model.internals/file.import/export goo in Office formats have to be accessible in some standard office libraries yes? So lets write a program that batch processes OOXML Transitional to OOXML Strict (without having to open each one in an actual Office program - do Office programs still take command line paras? used to..).

@stux @eldersea I was just thinking of that. THIS would make sense IF you could use your mobile device as a PC. We were SO close. Sigh. My last project at Blackberry we were doing exactly this. A dock so you could drive your Blackberry with a 16:9 landscape screen, keyboard, mouse, external storage. Worked great too. Used my Z10 as a daily drive laptop for _work_ (all I needed were the PIM apps, browser and office suite.. rarely). Only problem half the apps didn't have a widescreen layout. You dock your phone and your desktop is this narrow portrait band down the middle of your monitor. And then we were all laid off. :(
