me 4 years ago, moving to Baltimore: I'm gonna downsize and only use my iPad for everything, it's basically a laptop anyway :)

me now: so I guess i have to load Ubuntu and Zorin on every deprecated laptop in my house bc my minimalist setup wants me dead

whoever put copilot in my Microsoft word and made it impossible to deactivate on iPad should be put on a meathook like that poor little astrology girl in Texas chainsaw massacre

this is a place of honor. something extremely cool is buried here.

SOCIETY: no more AI pls & thx

CORPORATIONS: we are pleased to announce KETCHUP 2.0 which is exactly like the regular ketchup you already know and love but it's powered by AI somehow which makes it better and it costs $79 per bottle
