Ah, the aspiring musician’s keyboard who can’t afford a real one

Keyboard players: everything is keys

You can still yank the power chord out.

Just like AAA game studios, movie studios don’t want to take risks, so they go with productions they consider “safe”: aim for the lowest common denominator, play into nostalgia, don’t make anyone upset by touching subjects like politics, religion. And you end up with the garbage they are making right now.

Also, the movie industry is struggling because of many reasons. Movies are getting too expensive, the safe formulas big studios relied on aren’t working anymore, customer habits are changing with people going less to movie theaters.

At the same time, just like with video games, the indie world is in a golden age. You can get amazing cameras and equipment for quite a small budget. What free software like Blender can achieve is amazing. And learning is easier than ever, there are so many free educational resources online.

Zfs is just software raid, not an archival /backup solution. Sure, you can hold data on a zfs array for long term, but not without active maintenance (powering the drives periodically, replacing old drives, doing some kind of data refresh / scrubbing) and backups.

That’s why recycling goes after reduce and reuse.

Sadly, unreadable on mobile. Text doesn’t word wrap, dragging to pan it is annoying and makes the keyboard show up.

Even basic stuff like operating systems (especially Windows and Android), chatting software, music playback software etc has gotten so terrible. Microsoft constantly adds unnecessary and intrusive features to Windows, Teams needs a supercomputer to perform decently, and every app is now a poorly optimized electron app that tracks everything you do.

Women are not good for the network connectivity

Which includes mining all the rare materials used in manufacturing the GPUs and ASICs (that we’re actually running out of) .

The only way to get politicians to care about online privacy is to make it affect them personally. Make more bots that track their private jets, reveal their secrets. Buy their data from data brokers and make it public.

Companies left and right will start creating EULAs with forced arbitration clauses for all kinds of crazy things… Shit like “Being in the general vicinity of one of our buildings, you agree with our license terms”. Or “saying the name of our company, you agree with our EULA”. Or “By being alive, you agree to our EULA”.

Lights. 15 years ago, everyone was using incandescent bulbs which were terribly inefficient and neon lights which had their own inconveniences. Today, LEDs have mostly replaced them, can produce better quality light, and use a fraction of the power.

Displays. Even the cheap TVs and monitors look incredibly good.

Because now you have blades shooting away from the helicopter at a high speed which could kill someone.

One of the core values of conservatism is removing regulations and protections for regular people against corporations, and giving them more power. That’s what Elon believes in. The rest of it, like the “family values” and “religious rights” are just a smoke screen for the voters.

After ~20-30 years, rubber gaskets and seals and cable insulation start failing. Plastic becomes brittle, especially if exposed to the sun. How do they solve this problem?
