I hate new iamge formats, jpg and png until I fucking die
webp is the devil, it's not even as good as flif, and there are jpeg extension proposals that would work way fucking better
To be fair, I doubt a true boomer would be able to understand any part of this comment. Any person born before 1993 can't jpeg, all they know is download virus
Add toolbar, download virus.
Hmm this movie I downloaded is only 2 MB and is a .exe file . . . Probably will play if I click it
Steamers are all fucking boring
TRUE
Even streamers who I like in short doses like Hasan can't get through a fifteen minute edited video without saying the same thing five hundred times. It's suitable as background noise, but if I'm listening to a streamer I'd almost always be better off listening to music.
Streamers are just the new radio personality.
I didn't like radio personalities either; I wanted them to get back to the fucking music :I-was-saying:
Anyone under 25 should get 1 hour of internet access a day max, anything more is a major cognitohazard
I would amend this to anyone under 40
you aren't supposed to study Jewish Kabbalah until after 40 because it's a technology for making yourself insane (see: the movie π) but by then you've already done your bit for social reproduction presumably
videogames were better back in my day
Honestly? Yeah. Like not even game play or graphics. Solely on the argument that we went from shareware to micro transactions. What a fuckin bummer.
Counterpoint: there are more awesome indie games then ever.
online play ruined games
you used to have to haul your tower and heavy-ass CRT down to your bro's place and set up a network without the benefit of a router and if somebody called you a slur you could walk over and dump mountain dew on their keyboard
Arcades need a revival. No bar arcades.
An alcohol-free arcade would be heaven because all of the most obnoxious people would be over at the barcade down the road.
My hometown has a place called the galloping ghost arcade. I think it’s the largest arcade in North America. One of my favorite places.
Forcing people to do uncompensated labor, such using smart phones or the internet to make medical appointments and fill out a ton of forms, make payments, and/or self-check out is bad.
Touch screens in cars are bad.
The internet (especially mobile internet since about 2012ish) is bad.
Most modern software sucks, usability has gone backwards. I blame Apple (and Microsoft following them). I use Linux, have for years, Libre Office needs some serious front end fixing, it's been bad since it was star office.
Give me back my MTV.
:jesse-wtf: how do you expect to make appointments and payments if you don’t… make appointments and payments
Schedule via a phone call, fill out the paperwork at the office, go to exclusively to Aldi and let them check me out because they are so freakin awesome, etc.
