i use a music player that hasn’t been updated in 7 years to listen to podcasts

nothing tells you more about someone than opening their music folder and clicking '50 random songs'.

https://libredirect.github.io

in a similar vein, i’ve been using mate for so long that my eyes expect there to be an often-unchanging bar along the top and when i use windows my mind sometimes cannot fathom that the window is using the upper part usually reserved for the top panel on mate

after clicking ‘add 50 random songs’ multiple times:

i think the actual reason i like rpgs so much is that i can casually set the game down and leave it running while i do something else

in my opinion, it has far too many features that i would honestly confuse for software bloat

a browser should just be a browser, we don’t need everything but and the kitchen sink - we have extensions for that

opera gx’s ‘gamer’ branding also makes me laugh, i likely just don’t understand the ‘gamer’ culture, but it’s like ‘we don’t know how this works but we’re going to try anyway’

i enjoy naming my mobile hotspot things like ‘fbi surveillance van 103’ just to send panic to anybody trying to steal my wifi

totally not me at times

[11:30] <illogicallity> problem?
[11:30] <Orb_Fish> not problem
[11:31] <illogicallity> good

hot take:

simple, focused tools that do only one thing and do that thing really well > large monolithic programs that do a lot of things

the moment my cat learns to open doors i know we’ll have bigger problems
