Nah. Because

Sweet dreams.

They are, but since I don’t need anything, I just skip over the pricy stuff. Check my thrift finds on here.

Or a B-2.

Me neither. I already have all the material possessions I need, and I don’t want any more. All I need is groceries and clothes from Goodwill.

It’s furries that go as Snuffleupagus.

Seems reasonable. Can I buy left and right click separately as monthly subscriptions?

Boy was I wrong about modern computing, it’s all so powerful and useful!

None of this is “high performance computing”. Are you simulating nuclear explosions? Airflow around supersonic aircraft? Sequencing DNA?

This is all entertainment, it’s useless, it turns people into potatoes. Digital garbage to make AI fat people fart videos.

Good riddance I say.

Cool! Is the scroll wheel split into up and down services?

8 GIGABYTES!!? How am I supposed to load a mouse driver in THAT!?

Hey don’t worry, just get a faster CPU with even more cores and maybe a terabyte or three of RAM to hold all the new layers of abstraction and cruft to fix all that!

I saw a 16:9 CRT in the trash a few years ago, it had just started to rain, the time it took to arrange secure transport it was soaked, so I passed. I didn’t feel like I could deal with the size and weight of the thing if I had to repair it as well.

But they do show up now and then.

I’m as atheistic as they come but I’ll maybe ask a demiurge for that to happen.

The sheer amount of AI slop shorts on YouTube must be generating entire dollars in revenue by now. Who isn’t entertained and eagerly awaiting the next five million videos of the same scenario over and over again?

If you have a better way of generating videos of absurdly obese Olympic divers doing the bomb from a crane, I’d love to hear it.

Way ahead of you Luddites

first link died for some reason, probably not enough RAM

Goodness, how am I supposed to store and stream more entertainment than I could watch in a lifetime now?

Computers are too powerful and too cheap. Bring back COBOL, painfully expensive CPU time, and some sort of basic knowledge of what’s actually going on.

Pain for everyone!

But the stories of Russians under my bed stealing my washing machine’s CPU are totally real.

Good, do Fark next.

Did you just make up “hate” from an imaginary argument you made up? I am simply baffled by the behavior and “needs” of people these days. In what universe is limiting “remote streaming” a problem? How many hours a day do you need to be entertained for?

It’s more like I’m surrounded by compulsive hoarders and chronic upgraders, for what? You can’t watch any more movies than you have conscious free hours in a day. I don’t get it anymore.

Computers used to solve problems, now they are the problem.
