For anyone using macOS, Vorssaint is a lifesaver.

It has a number of “fixes” for macOS, including quit on close, clipboard access, per-app volume control, and many more.

After I passed my test, my Mum told me word for word “It’s great once you’ve got your licence, you can slip back into your bad habits.”

There is that, but I’d also argue quite a lot of people would be against this proposal because they don’t want a drivers licence really; they just don’t live in a walkable area but want to get to work and be able to shop and the licence and owning a car is just a means to an end. If you’re a competent driver, having to retake the test would be a pain in the ass and your reward effectively is “You may continue to exist in society.”

Getting the letter that you’re due for a test would be more frustrating than a jury duty summons; jury duty pays.

The elderly resent the prospect of losing their licence for exactly that reason; it puts them at the mercy of family and expensive taxis to be able to feed themselves.

In a sane world, yes we’d all recognise driving can be dangerous and tests are sensible, but in that world you wouldn’t need a car to do basic shit either.

Smartphones are the most useful thing ever day-to-day… So I want to keep those, like keep all the text and call and email stuff, keep the games I guess, but somehow also go back to the days when the Internet was something to peruse for an hour or so a day on the computer.

There’s a lot of “Heal the political divide” being said to mean “meet them halfway” when what it should mean is the ignorant and prejudiced learn and the media machine dismantled, like how “Heal the healthcare class divide” means “Help poor people see doctors affordably”.

Everyone has something to hide. That’s why I’m not posting my online banking password on Facebook or letting anyone install cameras in my toilet.

I found it to be a struggle to find a non-smart TV that was decent…

… Good.

call them occasionally.

I’ll text. Take it or leave it.

… Well great, now I have to check whether my television has a goddamn microphone for some reason. I didn’t think to check because it’s a television.

Never connected it to the Wifi though.

I got rid of my home deep fryer for health reasons. It is dangerously easy, cheap, and quick to make quality fries…

At least the images clogging your search results were real images, not simulacrum…

Not only has AI made traditional Googling more difficult, but it’s also just clogging up the search results no matter what search engine you choose…

Also, I miss Pinterest.

I’ve lived with hardcore capital-G Gamers.

Simply not buying the game is never an option. May as well be trying to get smokers to boycott tobacco companies until they make their product cheaper. Good luck on holding out.

The Da Vinci Code

Watching ‘The Mummy’ on streaming the other day… Unless subtitles were switched on, the translation when anyone spoke Egyptian wasn’t used. It also weirdly removed location title cards, like when there’s an establishing shot and text ‘Cairo, 3 months later’ or something.
