I can’t even use the keyboard properly without haptic feedback.

About a quarter of one’s salary had to be earmarked for voluntary subscriptions, which were so numerous that it was difficult to keep track of them.

(From 1984 by George Orwell)

But just a quarter seems too optimistic though.

That countdown timer just doesn’t want to work for me:

I only managed to load it in Opera browser on real Android phone.

Dude literally said “I’ve had a vasectomy. Come at me, fascists.”, basically a statement that nobody bats an eye about a man getting sterilized while that’s basically what the woman here had done, but instead people are attacking her for it.

At least that’s how it reads to me.

Would the Shrek script be compatible too?

I myself prefer inkjet. Mainly because I don’t really understand the laser printer operation, I can’t even name all the rollers, but the simplicity of pouring more ink into old cartridges and easy head replacement (built into cartridges in my case) is nice, as well as compactness when requiring color. Maybe when I’ll once decide to study it I’ll try a laser.

HP PSC 1315, somewhere around 20 years old. It has an absolutely botched USB replacement that’s not even fully inserted, but it’s somehow worked for years now.
It was my first soldering attempt. You’ll squirm now, I didn’t know what flux was. I thought there wasn’t enough heat and went to MAXIMUM. 520°C (968°F) cooked contacts. But somehow it works…

Hear me out, printers are relatively high-maintenance technology. I want some decent understanding to be able to deal with various faults first, but I am too lazy to study laser printers, so I use inkjet.

But actually, I kinda want a… dot matrix. 24-pin for sure, but hear me out, I want a slow one. I want to watch it and listen to it printing, so I want it to take enough time. I am not joking. Many times I used high DPI printing which takes 20 minutes per page (A4) and I was watching the heads the entire time.

Reminds me of…

The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible. It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought—that is, a thought diverging from the principles of Ingsoc—should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever. To give a single example. The word free still existed in Newspeak, but it could only be used in such statements as “This dog is free from lice” or “This field is free from weeds.” It could not be used in its old sense of “politically free” or “intellectually free” since political and intellectual freedom no longer existed even as concepts, and were therefore of necessity nameless. Quite apart from the suppression of definitely heretical words, reduction of vocabulary was regarded as an end in itself, and no word that could be dispensed with was allowed to survive. Newspeak was designed not to extend but to diminish the range of thought, and this purpose was indirectly assisted by cutting the choice of words down to a minimum.

Hmmm, I see…

Ah, the times when all phones and laptops in Tesco were unlocked for testing by customers and playing porn every day.

I live in a city where “people” sometimes throw around sausages with razors for dogs to eat and die. So there’s that.

Ah, it does generate actual MS links there. My bad.

I see, it links to https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 xD

They “fixed” that now though.

Just trans? It clearly talks about some trans mission!

Jokes on you, there’s no /dev/sd* on my system anymore.

Just /dev/nvme* and /dev/mmcblk*

Garbage text follows, I got carried away way too much. No need to keep reading. I mean, no need to even… let’s not write a book here.

And sometimes /dev/sr* because I like mechanical storage devices. If there’s enough time, I’ll even burn a DVD and boot that rather than use Ventoy. I like the sound and extra work - putting it on the spindle, burning, verifying, marking the disc, waiting minutes for the boot-up and having enough time to read the boot messages. Some DVDs/CDs even had really nice smell, but I don’t know how to identify those.

Time wasting, unnecessary? Yes, but I like the process.
Same reason why I pay for Mullvad in cash.
Print envelope, print payment token, put the cash and token in, close, choose postage stamps to use, wet them with a fine brush (I WILL NOT LICK THEM, YUCK) and stick them on. Then carry it to mailbox and wait for the time to be added. This is slow, expensive and tedious, but I like it. Oh, and I get to see many different postage stamps.

Today I received more I ordered, and holy shit!!! I got some special unique ones! COVID-19 stamp with 3D effects that can be felt with finger, heat embossed stamp of a not so good former president (but the stamp is only of its kind) and a fucking lenticular soccer-themed stamp (moving image based on angle of viewing) and more!
My reason for choosing Mullvad… and I fucking got carried away so damn much. Aaaaaaaaaaa…

Hyphens?

unless it’s with me

OK, proceeds to share your nudes with yourself (I am in your walls).

I use my brain.

It generates the biggest nonsense out of all.

Once Upon a Time, This Tech Company Actively Recruited Furries (Vice.com)

Months earlier, recruiter Cindy Lee Smith noticed a trend in the resumes coming across her desk at Taos. Why were many job candidates listing “anthropomorphism” under their hobbies?

As Christine Hyung-Oak Lee tells it—recalling her time as a junior recruiter under Smith—hitting upon the tech-talent goldmine of furrydom was something like an epiphany. “I remember her running out of her office into my cubicle, and she said, ‘Christine, we gotta get on these furries.’”

And this was way back in 1996.
