I have fleas.

Direct message

I am a huge fan of immich, been running it for quite a while, it started as just phone photo backup but it’s good enough that I’ve made it my primary photo repository (fully backed up of course). I will absolutely pay for a license but count me as one who doesn’t really like the terminology used.

I would happily put a donated or supporter badge to show off, but the unlicensed just feels a bit wrong. I have no trouble paying for software, especially as useful as immich, but in the enshittifying world we live in, such language gives one pause.

the fact that he’s angry and feeling betrayed is the problem. we don’t want a president who thinks he deserves it for himself, a president represents the people of a nation, not their own ego.

that’s why I’m so angry with biden. I’m sure he thinks he’s the best for the job, but read the room, have some self-reflection. sure it might be unfair to YOU personally that this is happening, but what YOU are doing to the country in response is arguably worse. I mean, I wasn’t going to vote for him due to his genocide cheerleading but I’m digging my heels in even further since he’s being such an obstinent fuck. if things are as dire as he’s telling us, why is he and the party more concerned with an old man’s feelings than the fate of this country?

I fear that I’m on this path. Like I don’t want to die, I just often find myself thinking how much of a pain in the ass it is to be alive. Right now, if I didn’t have children I’d be in a different place; the fact that I have others relying on me is enough to make me care. But I fear that once they are on their own, I won’t feel much reason to stick around. I’m actively working on mental health but I can’t shake this apathy in the deep down of my brain.

I would love to try one. Not for $3500.

That fridge, in that color occupied a similarly wood paneled kitchen for me growing up. I got a little sweaty when I saw the picture, wondered who’s been in my old house.

Someone after my own heart… Debian for my servers, lmde for my laptop, the way it was meant to be.

There was a short lived candybar called PB Max that I’ve been craving for like the last 20 years. It actually tasted like peanut butter which, despite my love for peanut butter cups, just completely outdid them for peanutty goodness.

american beauty. it was everywhere, and everyone seemed to LOVE it. feels like history kinda agrees though since all I hear these days is people making fun of it. guess I’m just ahead of the times.

no shit, I feel most people can function in just about any framework, so long as everyone knows what they are building. I’ve seen agile (and other frameworks to be fair) as the ‘solution’ to missing requirements too often. Sure we can get to work without them, but to what end?

I’ve never said why you should or should not vote, you are free to do as you will. All I’m saying is that I cannot morally support anyone who is running. You can, done, but they are all collectively running on platforms I cannot morally support because I see them all as part of the same problem.

So we’re in a situation where we have a fundamental agreement on the issues but a fundamental disagreement about the solutions. Your name calling has not yet convinced me that I’m wrong.

Edit- I want to elaborate a little about why I’m taking the position I am. I believe the dems are part of the problem that led us here, I believe they dangle these wedge issues out there for reasons you are illustrating. Yes, I agree with the words that they say, but the actions they take (or more often don’t) no longer make me believe they are out for us. I think our side is just as captured by a corrupt party, just one with a different marketing department. You think the vote will make the difference, I’m saying, those same arguments, for those same issues, have been made for my entire life and they have not fundamentally changed. There are minor, small wins but in reality the ONLY consistent winners are the American equivalent of the oligarchs. I’m at the point where I actively believe they are doing it all on purpose, another side of the same coin so to speak.

So I’m checking out. You do you.
