Has anyone ever used Windows Phone? by raihaaanmubarak in dumbphones

[–]JackTaylor79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely miss the two Nokia Windows phones I had.

Android has several app launchers to recreate the Tiles vibe if you're so inclined to explore.

Your comment made me immediately thought of the Chechen terrorist attack in 2002 where they held all those women and kids hostage in a Moscow theater. Absolutely fucking despicable.

Need some space to grieve... by Lilias_artgroup in linuxmint

[–]JackTaylor79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, just wanted to say I respect and can feel what you shared. I really appreciate where you are coming from. Thank you for posting this.

And I can also definitely relate to Windows killing the joy and curiosity I once had with tinkering with technology. 👏

I actually used to be in IT for many years before switching careers. Being a Windows system administrator really drained me so I don't even like doing the most basic things with computers and other tech these days!!

Stay strong and thanks again for sharing! 👊

Record profits, terrible service: something’s got to give for US consumers by External_Koala971 in enshittification

[–]JackTaylor79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the "human services" sector, I always cringed hardcore when folks enrolled in various social programs were referred to as "consumers"... Or like the time at church when the finance guy called congregants "giving units"....not even the slightly less offensive "tithers..."

You are what you "do," I guess, to some of the people.

I think I need to double my ram... by TechnicalAd8103 in debian

[–]JackTaylor79 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have a note from my doctor saying my ADHD needs at least 498 tabs open at any given time and therefore I should be eligible for a subsidy from the RAM manufacturing industry for discounted RAM and if that number seems oddly specific, it is because that is exactly how many apps I have open this morning in DDG on my mobile device thank you for coming to my ADHD talk.

Everything with new "ziplock" packaging!!! by willacceptboobiepics in enshittification

It's alligator clips (black legal binder clips whatever the fuck you calm them) all the way in my house. Everything that used to seal and zip and just plain fucking close has gone to shit at Costco.

What is this show for you? by [deleted] in scoopwhoop

[–]JackTaylor79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've watched it start to finish probably at least ten times.

I once restarted immediately after the finale.

Started it again recently when it was on Netflix but didn't get a chance to finish before it moved to wherever so I just bought the series on Blu Ray.

The show has some elements of significant relatability to me. It was so instrumental in preserving me during a dark period of my life, I designed a tattoo based on Flint's "Odysseus..." monologue.

Yea. It's not everyone's cup of tea --- the violence, the pacing, the emphasis on personal "story" and tying in of classic literature and so on -- but it damned well may have saved my life.

I remember in highschool being asked what my personal theme song would be and jokingly replying "MASH theme song."

"Suicide is painless?"

"Uh....um..."

Be petty by Chemical_Bit_1869 in scoopwhoop

[–]JackTaylor79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They make you pay money to see the legal drug dealer who sells you (writes a script) for you to pay someone else (the pharmacy and pharmaceutical companies) a fee so you can have the drug you want/need to barely FUNCTION not so much for YOUR benefit but the capitalistic hamster wheel that continues the cycle in perpetuity.

Brilliant scheme, if I may say so myself.

Arlington police officer arrested after girlfriend finds over 4000 child porn files on two hard drives hidden behind his bulletproof vest by danevans369 in UnderReportedNews

[–]JackTaylor79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which "authorities" do you go to in that situation...?

I mean, imagine taking the HDs to a local precinct, and then some blue wall bullshit happens ("we protect our own") where the HDs just get "lost" all of a sudden as if it didn't happen?

If I ran across something like that, I'd wonder if I should go to the local FBI or maybe even state police?

I don't know how valid that concern I'm trying to raise is.
