Blog for my art and fandoms. Mostly random reblogs + anime and gaming. Art tag is "myart", old sign was HtH15 but now it's the same as here. Feel free to talk to me!
The concept of "spyware" has disappeared from the common internet lingo after it became the case that the word could now be used to describe nearly every major website and a huge percentage of the most commonly-used software.
Why do you need your earbuds to have a wire so badly?
I am assuming this is about a post I reblogged like six months ago when I went off on forced technological enshitification and the slow erosion of consumer options. But sure, I'll bite.
Why do I "need" my earbuds to have a wire? I dunno, Anon, maybe I:
Don't want to have to worry about recharging my earbuds.
Don't want my earbuds to be even easier to lose.
Don't want my earbuds to need separate accessories that are as easy to lose as the earbuds.
Prefer to have bluetooth turned off on my devices for security and safety reasons.
Like being able to seamlessly plug my earbuds into my computer, my MP3 player, or any other device with a headphone jack.
Don't want to spend 50 dollars on decent wireless earbuds when I can do all the above things with a pair of solid earbuds that cost me like $12 during the Obama administration.
Don't care about what kinds of headphones or earbuds people wear but don't like what it says about our society when other people apparently care what kind of earbuds I'm wearing so much they have send an Anonymous ask to interrogate me about it.
And I guess, more abstractly, because fuck Apple. That's why.
not “oh my god it’s just a tv show” as in you are not allowed to find genuine joy and form a true connection to fiction, but “oh my god it’s just a tv show” as in, if it legitimately stresses you out and impacts your mood when things don’t happen exactly the way you want them to, and it causes you to lash out at other - real - people, maybe you need to take a massive step back.
The modern world is defined by people who see the homage, the parody, the subversion and the analogue before they see the original; this phenomenon is refracted and made more intense over thousands of years of media. These people have no clue how the cart and the horse are oriented, nevermind which one goes first.
“Jesus? Haha, more like Chosen One Prophecy Fantasy Movie!” Because almost every piece of fantasy media takes at least some inspiration from the Biblical canon.
“The universe is inside a big computer!” Because the logical rules of a computer system resemble the logical rules of the universe.
They see the subversion of a cultural notion before they see it played straight. They develop at a very early age a type of derivative and spiritual dyslexia.
Friendly reminder that the reason you feel so much better is because of your meds, don’t stop taking them unless you talk to your doctor first, you really do need them, I promise.
if you got like a 100kilo bag of glitter and opened it up and left it in the path of like a tornado i think that would be interesting. i dont care abt ecological damage btw
