  • Okay this article is dog shit but Google Drive has absolutely awful search and is missing so many basic features even for things like finding out where a file is so I’m not defending Google there, the author makes a bad critique but it’s a thing worth critiquing.

    Subjectively, material design in its newest iteration is just also ugly as sin too, android 8 - android 10 was peak android, get these fucking pastels and overly large buttons off my phone and bring back the white/blue simplicity of yesteryear gosh darn it.


  • Videos? Grid. Images? Grid. Both with preview window on the right.

    Everything else? List with a preview window docked on the right. For everything other than music, I always soet by the last modified date, unless there’s less than 10 files or so per folder, in which case alphabetical is preferred.




  • What do you actually mean?

    I don’t want to be mean but you have to actually use words to be a bit more descriptive than that and maybe think about it some more.

    If the posts are irrelevant - subscribe to different communities? How do you normally decide on these things, like e.g. how do you find YouTube channels to subscribe to and how do you decide which of these to watch? Are you applying the same logic here? If not, why not? If yes, then what’s the aspect of the usual/expected outcome that is missing?


  • Yeah that show is a slow burner vibe thing and i think you were right to stop watching it because you gotta meet it where it’s at - messy, creative, emblematic of the paperback sci-fi classics, not quite so neat as something like Expanse or Star Trek in terms of structure and plot and character taking a backseat to the themes, it’s less Stellaris, more Solaris, less Mass Effect and more No Man’s Sky.

    This show to the original BSG is like Primer to Back to the Future.

    What helped me through is I just enjoy military dramas so the standalone episodes like the one about the industrial workers and such just kept me engaged in the moment as episodic adventures and so I was in no hurry for a thread to follow, though the arc in S2 and onto the climax in Season 4.

    It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I do find this show beautiful in a way,












  • I mean, I don’t think my example is an extreme, like I work from home every single day and have always done so, there are no longer stores around me that sells any electronics, and as I don’t drive, I get it delivered, which is the primary and most of the time the only way of buying anything that isn’t groceries for me these days.

    If anything my example is an extremely down to earth grass-touch-core argument built off explicitly literally what my life is in the most literal sense wholly about the basic material realities of it, and it highlights the problems with their their absolutist internet-extremist-silliness-core-ass rhetoric. I don’t get in any way how it’s “extreme” or “equivalent” to the other user’s batshit insane propositions.

    Are you one of those “everything is equivalent both sides” type people?

    Are you implying I in any way disagree with the actual rhetoric of “let’s have less car-centric infrastructure?” Because I don’t and I never stated that. Moreover I do agree with you though, I don’t drive and I hate cars anyway. I just don’t like that user’s rhetoric because it smells like degrowth ecofash type rhetoric, which is extremely harmful and leads to NIMBYism and as such worsening material conditions and issues like homelessness and poverty traps and enriches landlords.

    Environment good because it makes things for people better, not as a thing unto itself. On that basis and only on that basis with that reasoning as the guiding and completely overriding principle - I agree, fuck cars. 👍

    So I guess we’re gonna have a far right government next election then when this is inevitably dragged out until the rich can buy the election by drumming up enough hate to make the average Brit spit in their tea if they thought it’d make immigrants/transes/youth sad.

    I’m sorry to soapbox about politics in a tech thread, but this charade of “law and order” and endless debate about the actual merits of the actual lawsuit under the actual law are so tiresome when these corpos just bypass this shit anyway.
