so i needed to get the ram on a computer up to a certain utilization to test something and the easiest way to do that is just open the cnn homepage on multiple browsers because their website is terribly inefficient and uses like half a gig or more of ram per page
and this is what i see when i go to the home page
YOU ARE A READ ONLY NEWS SITE
WHY WOULD I NEED TO AGREE TO ANYTHING TO LOOK AT ARTICLES WRITTEN BY BUGS

boldest lie ive seen in a long time

real image of me

i had to deal with a really frustrating issue this morning where a user was upgraded from adobe acrobat to acrobat pro, yet adobe kept saying "actually you dont have a pro license click here to buy one"
adobe has been enshittifying their software for years because they can make a lot of money by confusing users.
i think the companies that are making things shit for money have kind of lost the script. it feels like they are making things garbage "just because" and not for extra profit.
look at microsoft: if they were just bloating windows with sloppilot that would be normal enshittification, yet its not just that. for absolutely no reason they are constantly pushing out garbage updates that break recovery, break outlook, break anything constantly. none of this makes any money. in fact it just gives people more reason to hate MS and as public opinion diminishes there are less people willing to try new MS products (revenue loss) and less willing to pay for MS products (more revenue loss)
its almost like microsoft makes things shitty just for the love of the game and i dont respect that at all.

I made real food

telegram added an ai summarization feature for long posts and I don't like it

>Syncing your account to the Microsoft Cloud means that a copy of your email, calendar, and contacts will be synchronized between your email provider and Microsoft data centers. Having your mailbox data in the Microsoft Cloud lets you use the new features of the Outlook client (New Outlook for Windows, Outlook for iOS, Outlook for Android or Outlook for Mac) with your non-Microsoft account, just like with your Microsoft accounts.

thats actually not how email is supposed to work at all
microsoft is inventing new ways to steal your data.

apparently my blog has been down for who knows how long and no one (including me) noticed

by next year people will be flexing by saying "my operating system doesnt scan my face and tell me how many good boy points i have every time i log in"
things have been grim for computers for over a decade now and its just getting worse.

im glad that people gave up on saying "x formerly twitter" and just say twitter now.
the worst case scenario would be people actually calling it "x"

i gave microsoft feedback about MS teams.
i hope they take my feedback into consideration to make their platform better ❤️ (they wont 💔)

the pentagon requested of congress 1 billion dollars per day for the 3 day special military operation in iran (which has gone on for 19 and a half days now)
dividing that by the 150 million US tax payers, it is just shy of 7 dollars per day or 130 dollar so far. Its probably more than that if the 150k number also includes net negative welfare recipients.
Are you okay with the government taking a 10 dollar bill out of your wallet every single day so that they can kill people (including 180 civilians of which over 100 were school girls) in a country that is not actually capable of striking the US or even mounting a significant offense against the US?
personally i think trump should have kept his promise not to start more forever wars.

200 billion actually.

i got a new phone number a while back. today i started getting 2fa sms messages from epic games
somewhere out there is a gamer who just wants to play a game on a fridey but he cant get in. i feel for him

>client site internet goes down
>have to call the isp to get it fixed
>its ATT (FUCK)
>call
>the robot wants to do troubleshooting
>"go look at our outage map and check if there is an outage in your area! I'll give you some time to look!"
>makes me wait a full 2 minutes before allowing me to continue.
>literally just dead air for 120 seconds
>it does this 2 more times with other "troubleshooting steps"
>unskippable cutscene, basically
>tries to trick me into "connecting you phone to cellular internet to see if you have internet access" as if my cell working means that the internet must work at my client's site. (i bet this actually works sometimes)
>does everything possible to block me from accessing support
>10 minutes and ive not spoken to a human yet

mfw anytime i have to call ISP support

things im doing right now:
1. having a good day

update: i was on the phone with them for 80 minutes. they REALLY wanted me to verify that i was authorized to get support. i was finally able to figure out who was authorized, have them send the guy a text, get the pin code from him and give it to ATT support
about 20 minutes of trouble shooting later (wherein all they did was reboot the modem) suddenly the support rep switched back to "i need you to verify again. youre not verified. i cant support you until i know youre authorized"

im not personally all too worried about this
1. the exploit is not released and as far as i know its not in the wild. some security researcher found it and reported it.
2. security researchers have a bad habit of overstating severity for clout. "i found a 9.8 RCE exploit in a broadly used application" sounds a lot cooler than "6.5 bounded arbitrary file access if you know the exact file path"
3. it will almost certainly be patched before the july release deadline
i did turn off automatic media download on 2 windows devices for my own peace of mind but im sure my graphene devices are fine.
