Nah, it's just a heap of junk!

I stayed on Myspace long past when the majority jumped ship. It eventually lost what made it special when the boy band guy bought it to twist it into something more music focused. But I still preferred it to the sterile, uniformity of Facebook.

I used to do the same thing to a few people back in the day. Linux distros used to ship with the X listening port just conveniently wide open and the config set to allow input from any other device on the LAN. I'd start with only one xeyes, and then they'd close it. I'd do it a few more times until they got irritated with me, and then I'd push it further by putting xeyes into a bash loop to open dozens at a time.

I wrote a simple script once that ran in the background and all it did was toggle the state of the caps lock key every 30 minutes. I set it up on a co-worker's computer as a scheduled task for an April Fools prank one year. I thought for sure he'd figure it out pretty quickly, but by mid-day, he had completely disassembled his keyboard, convinced the button was getting stuck due to gunk buildup. Eventually I ended up just disabling the task so he thought he had managed to fix it himself.

I'm at the point now that I don't even bother checking ProtonDB unless it's a really expensive purchase. Most things work out of the box for me. With some games that have a native Linux client, the Windows version will actually run better for me.

Ah, gotcha. Feel like I'm too old to keep up with it now.

Are these called "Wojack" memes? I've never understood why this art style became so popular.

IT: Did you flush?

User: Yes, of course.

*IT goes to check and sees the toilet is un-flushed*

IT: Show me how you're flushing.

*User turns sink faucet on and off*

Pretty deceptive marketing. I bet the person who thought up that name was exceptionally proud of themselves afterwards.

Same. Threw what extra money I had into some reliable stocks. Did the same thing during Covid too, and it worked out pretty well for me. It feels a bit like I'm a crisis vampire, but I just don't want to be working anymore when I hit 60.
