  • Surely they can’t all be this dumb.

    After a few decades following American politics you’ll realize that yes, yes they can all be that dumb.

    Just have a general conversation with your most conservative neighbors about basically anything and you’ll quickly learn that there’s nothing they don’t have an opinion on and their level of ignorance is… Impressive.

    Like, dude, you’re 60+ years old and you think hurricanes are a conspiracy‽ The point where they lost their mind was long ago.

    Sooner or later you can’t help but wonder if they ever had sanity or they just faked it long enough to have a career/survive until retirement.











  • Just build your own keyboard. That’s what I did (and it turned out fantastic) 🤷

    Mice are much easier to deal with since there’s 500 million of them to choose from. Just pick a generic, no-name brand that doesn’t need drivers and you’re all set.

    Aside: Building a keyboard isn’t rocket science. It’s just a bit tedious (buy a kit). Unless you invent your own 3D printable keyboard switch and stabilizers from scratch then design an analog circuit board to work with them (also from scratch). Then it’s a bit more like rocket science 🤣







  • As expected, nobody cares about “reader mode”. Only once in my life has it ever come in handy… It was a website that was so badly designed I swore never to go back to it ever again.

    I forget what it was but apparently I wasn’t the only one and thus, it must’ve died a fast death as I haven’t seen it ever again (otherwise I’d remember).

    Basically, any website that gets users so frustrated that they resort to reader/simplified mode isn’t going to last very long. If I had my way I would change the messages:

    “This website appears to be total shit. Do you want Firefox to try to fix it so your eyes don’t bleed trying to get through it?”

    I want an extension that does this, actually! It doesn’t need to actually modify the page. Just give me a virtual assistant to comiserate with…

    “The people who made this website should have their browser’s back button removed entirely as punishment for erecting this horror!”
