Like the old USB micros sort of?

You should take your own advice.

You end with

The “fistful of different cables to keep track of” is only getting worse as we head into the USB4 era and it needs to be kicked in the head and replaced entirely.

But started with

need an entirely unrelated team to invent something entirely new to replace it

You want more cables?

HDMI does not have screws.

Further, if you get code into the kernel, anyone who breaks it needs to fix it. So it seems to me it’s only a problem if you’re trying to do something like maintain a proprietary driver without putting it into the kernel? Or something to that effect?

FREE ME FROM YOUR GRASP, CURSED FLOWER!

The worse things get in my life the more I feel like this. I believe it’s a consequence of being raised Christian. (Though I am an atheist now.) When I was younger I believed God never gives you more than you can handle. So when things got bad it felt like God was breaking that promise. Now that I’m older it feels like “bad writing.” Like, really? This many bad things in such a short time period? It’s a little on the nose, isn’t it? It’s why I can’t rewatch I saw the TV Glow until I know I am in a very stable mental place.

The irony being that I have been going through a bit of a gender journey for a while and knew the movie had themes to do with that, but none of that really hot anywhere close to home as the rest mentioned above. I’m just glad I planned to see it surrounded by friends.

The idea that there’s an escape hatch on reality is so alluring. The idea that all the bad things in your life are the fault of one person, even if they’re a metaphysical entity, is so appealing. The sad reality is that it’s all random and sometimes we just get unlucky streaks.

I’ve trained myself not to laugh or take pleasure from other people’s pain or discomfort. See it as an indication of NPC.

But say shit like

I deemed him too small to bother with. He had no where to retreat to. I’m leering over him, he’s sitting. I could use overhead metal railing to brace against while kicking his head in. He was in a disadvantaged defensive position. I choose to pick my battles. To my knowledge to this day he doesn’t have to eat thru a straw.

Definitely feels like you’re getting pleasure from the idea of that person’s pain and discomfort.

OP, just use hyper focus as a super power!

/s obviously.

I had someone saying this one. That hyper focus is a super power. As if I can ever control what it’s focused on or when I get it. I really dislike when people try to make ADHD seem like something useful and quirky instead of something debilitating.

If only they’d put all the slop under one sub domain!

Why is OP searching for it?

It’s YouTube.

I think a lot of forms of ads are ableist because of this. You are not alone. They’re so distracting. It’s infuriating.

I am obligated to comment on this due to my profile picture. 💜

That’s me!

I used to had linux mint in an old computer and for some reason the wifi didn’t work.

To me this implies it isn’t their primary computer. It’s not “manipulating and humiliating” someone else. It’s just saying, “you’ve been saying you’d fix this but it hasn’t worked, I need to use this computer for something.”

And no need to feel sorry for my wife. We’ve been together over half our lives, married for over a decade, and extremely happy with each other. My wife has done things like this to me. It’s not toxic or manipulative. Sometimes I overestimate my own skills and/or get distracted with other things.

Why? Imagine your house’s door doesn’t work so you have to make a long trip through the back. You keep asking your partner to fix it. They insist they’ll get the door working. Either they can’t or don’t, doesn’t matter, but you have the money and are willing to pay for someone to fix it. Your partner insists they can fix it. I think it’s reasonable to say something like “if it’s not fixed in two weeks I’m paying someone to fix it.”

It does do some static stuff but I don’t know if you’d be able to feel that from another room.

CRT TVs have a very iconic high pitched noise. It’s somewhat similar to the sound of tinnitus. Combine that with some people not being able to hear those high pitched noises very well (especially as they age) it makes sense that you may have been able to hear them but not really consciously be aware of it.

kinda like if I would point out people shouldn’t engage with you since you’re an aggressive troll.

Just leaving this here. I’ll let others decide which of the two of us is the aggressive troll based on it. Your actions speak for themselves. I disagreed with you and you keep harassing me over it.
