  • there’s already zero expectation of privacy at work so i don’t mind using it there. have fun reading a history of allen bradley manuals from 1987 to 2024 lol

    shout out to zscaler for being a heap of spying shit and constantly interrupting my network connections, and lookout for work having access to every permission imaginable.



  • I enjoy the mythos around Charon. If you lived your life to the point where you didn’t have a single person to care for you enough to make a small payment in your name (think 2 pennies), you suffer the fate of merely waiting. He’s like a minimalist renown filter of sorts. It’s like a judge of character, so to speak, based on what others would do for you when you can’t act.


  • You swear correctly. He is the boatman of the river Styx. He ferries souls to Hades in the afterlife if the individual was buried with the ferry toll. If they didn’t have the ferry toll they’d be fated to wandering the banks of the river Styx for 100 years before they could cross.

    I think it’s a cool name. Apologies if this was intended sarcasm and it went over my head.














  • Spotify tried making their UI look like Instagram or tick tock. It was a push update change with no way to revert to normal. What you’d normally see on the screen where there was multiple pieces of information was now a shitty video clip previewing the play list or title being suggested. Everything was moved around.

    I used it once to go to work. I was receiving my subscription for free from a friend. I called my friend to tell him that I deleted my account because I couldn’t change the UI back to normal. I pay for a tidal subscription now.

    I was a given free, very decent, dumb tv and upgraded it to a smart tv with a $5 steam link and ran a cat 6 cable to it from my router. Best $5 ever. Have no intention of buying a new one. If I ever do, I will try my hardest to make sure if it’s a dumb one. I know they sell “commercial displays” that are basically a tv with no thrid party apps or a way to install them.
