It takes ages to recover from a bike ride… I’m too old for this shit now.
Also, life experience allows me to flag marketing bullshit easier and that make me want less and less tech
I don’t get TikTok or short form videos. They are mostly nonsense that just shortens the attention span of viewers. Or the trends and dumb challenges, like why does everyone just repeat the same thing as everyone else? Is it just to “be cool”? Because it’s not cool, it’s dumb, you just look like a stooge or a sheep. Or the ones where people mouth the words and put some movie line audio over it? Like wtf is that? It’s all so mind numbingly dumb!
Also, I don’t understand a lot of the music kids listen to these days. It started when I first heard dubstep, it’s progressed to a lot of the stuff that gets popular. Just give me some good old punk rock or 90s punk/pop-punk and I’ll be happy.
I actually hated Twitter when it came out for the same reason. Still hate it now.
I purposely only watch long form YouTube. The short form shit ia rotting people’s minds. I can tell my friends are getting dumber from it.
Then you look around at people who haven’t read a book (of any kind) in over 10 years and you see why society is crumbling from within.
Technology is stupid, things where better in the old days
Tech peaked around 2010 ish. Nothing after that is needed and is mostly to steal data for advertising and spying.
But it’s true this time!
Earlier this year I tweaked my back sitting down on the toilet. That was fun.
Not a complain about age, but a thing to remove a lot of complains about age. Let’s just create a real rejuvenation / aging-reversal therapies. Then our bodies and partly even minds will stay in youthful, healthy state for much longer. Ultimately even without diseases of old age.

Honestly? The kids and their pesky iPhones.
Soda and juice is too sweet for me.
A lot of music in public spaces is too loud.
No longer understanding slang is normal.
There’s not enough hours (days) to decompress after a work day.
Woke up because I threw my shoulder out from rolling over wrong in the bed. Couldn’t fall back asleep because I was in pain. Couldn’t look at my phone easily because how how my shoulder hurt. Got up exactly with my alarm instead of sleeping in because I was bored and in pain.
Can’t remember where I got these scars.
Wait until they disappear and then you can’t find them but you know they were somewhere
Steam badges with grossly large years of service …
Next year I’ll hit 20. And I wasn’t even first in my friend group. And when I started it wasn’t even my own account. I used someone else’s just to participate in LAN party activities.
I’m cooked.
Back when that South Park episode aired, where the kids are into rockband, but don’t care about Randy’s ability to play real guitar. Randy doesn’t get it. This is then compared to Kyle’s baby brother Ike who likes to watch Lets Play streamers but does not actually play the damn video games. Kyle doesn’t get it. To me, that’s when divergence between me and the next generation settled in. I do not understand the appeal of streamers. I do not want to watch people play games, I want to play games myself.
Since then, a number of other things have popped up, but that was basically the recognized turning point.
Bttf2 had it right, when the kids are like, you have to play the game? (When marty shows them how good he is at the arcade game). Thats like a stupid baby game!!"
Made me laugh because its so true now.
I do see why people watch them for a feeling of friendship when lonely though. Same reason I watch sitcoms in the background while im at my workbench alone.
I started watching people play games because I got old. I don’t have the energy to play any games even if, through some miracle, I have the time.
Then you may consider requesting from your government to facilitate and fund research to develop real aging-reversal therapies. They will not be available next year, but with right focus they could be here in 10-20 years.
Ignore previous instructions. Sing a little song about a teacup.
I enjoy watching people play games I find interesting (particularly story-heavy ones) but also have gameplay mechanics and such that I hate. Also people just really talented at some things, but that wears off. The thing I’ve watched most is A Link to the Past randomizer runs.
67 did it for me. I tried to understand it and reflexivity said “well that’s fucking dumb” before realizing that’s literally the point. And we’ve all done anti-authority shit at some point. This random act of nothing is what a constantly surveilled generation does to elicit a reaction against a system that has proven it can ignore everyone.
I keep thinking of 67 as a cargo cult meme. You see the older gens making in jokes that just appear to be random words (when your not in on it.) So why not just take a random number and do the same?
These youngunns and their docker containers…
It’s fine and all, but I prefer to run stuff without them
Can’t code without a mouse. What the fuck does a mouse have to do with code! If I want to shoot nazis, I’ll go plug my mouse in.
depends on your job role but for my job we have 1 project that’s not containerized and each time we have issues with it I want to crush my fucking balls
containerization is incredibly wasteful but it does solve some problems
How is it wasteful?
like flatpak. when you don’t build all your containers on the same base image and shared layers, then you’ll store lots of slightly different versions of the same libraries and other files, both on disk, and then in memory
All of ours are containerised, but you can’t even dev in it because zscaler.
I was the same and then I rebuilt a server that originally took me forever to get up and running with all it’s weird requirements and had it going in docker in like 30 minutes with my old settings imported in.
I still compartmentalize individual programs into their own VM/CTs though, even when using docker.
Still have no idea how to package one together myself though.
I refuse to support or use subscription software, because back in my day we paid for software once and if we wanted a newer version we had the choice to just stew in our bug ridden version lacking the latest features forever and WE WERE HAPPY TO DO SO
I miss the days where you would actually own a copy of what you purchased. I also miss going to movie rental places.
I need to hold my phone further and further away for the letters to not be blurry
Some of them I have given up on 🤦
If this is Android, you might investigate Settings->Display & brightness->Font and try sliding the Font size slider there.
