4chan is even worse. It's mainly the constant chasing of money and this startup bullshit I wasted my life on. I fucking hate this place and every ivy league tea sipping computer cunt in here. Can't wait to get nuked.
PG just press the barrel of your internet gun firmly against the head of my account and gently apply pressure. Thank you.
Accountability is these companies not existing. We live in a "you'll fucking buy it anyways" economy now. All a fake variation on a problem that was solved 100 years ago. The people at the top are scraping as much from us as possible to fund their fear Mansions in New Zealand. It is a small club at the top and they all share a sandbox. You're not allowed in. It's over. The cancer has metastasized and the rich have won.
It isn’t over. There are means to still fight and win. Nothing is over here until all of us stop breathing. The first victory is realizing that for our own internal struggle.
I look forward to the day when our shared suffering is a distant memory, and I know that day will come.
Don't worry I'm the same way but with 10x your level of failure. I am done with tech and money and every cunt obsessed with any variation of these two things.
The mistake you made was thinking you were going to make free money by click clacking at a keyboard like all these other keyboard warrior stories you read. Don't worry, I made the exact same mistake for 15 years straight. The part we probably missed is being born well connected with family members that can give you $50k on a whim.
No ivy and no connections = no chance. It was designed this way.
But then there's the anxiety of waiting like 4 hours, opening it, and seeing a bunch of critical messages you weren't around for. I need either a robot that will gently tap me on the shoulder and quietly tell me to check my notifications, or somehow relay the badge to a collar on my dog so he can bark at me. The badge is the worst. The sounds are the worst. At this point I rather just have a landline people can call me on with a voice machine.
I've completely forgotten about the era when anyone could screen their own calls with the equipment they already had, they just needed to figure out "oh I should let _every_ call go to voicemail after one ring and wait to hear who it actually is first"
How did we go backwards? rhetorical question, but can we bring it back with what we currently have?
I have that on my Pixel phone, if it detects a number that isn't in my contacts, it'll auto-screen the call and provide me with a text transcript of their response. I can see what the person says and choose to answer or let them just continue on to leave a message.
And if it thinks it's actually a spam call, I don't even get it ringing, it just quietly "handles" it (but obviously takes a message so I can call back if it was wrong).
ah, that's neat! on my iphone the only option is to send all calls that aren't in my contacts to voicemail, which is just me saying "please send me a text message"
It feels like we're getting back to that with focus states in iOS and Android, but half my apps still don't tell the API who sent the message and just set the notification title... (and some do but they don't link it to the contact, so the anti-DND rule never goes off)
You can hide the app (no badge, no dot visible) and snooze notifications, but leave them on system-wide, and then if someone mentions you with something important, they can click the "yes this is important" confirmation link. (And if someone abuses that then you can mute them personally)
Generic clothing follow up: Is there some sort of guide to materials and fabrics within a weather context? Like a diagram of a guy and you click "-20C + biking" and it dresses him up and you can see all the layers and recommendations. There has to be something out there.
