Technology is stupid, things where better in the old days
Earlier this year I tweaked my back sitting down on the toilet. That was fun.
Not a complain about age, but a thing to remove a lot of complains about age. Let’s just create a real rejuvenation / aging-reversal therapies. Then our bodies and partly even minds will stay in youthful, healthy state for much longer. Ultimately even without diseases of old age.

Honestly? The kids and their pesky iPhones.
Woke up because I threw my shoulder out from rolling over wrong in the bed. Couldn’t fall back asleep because I was in pain. Couldn’t look at my phone easily because how how my shoulder hurt. Got up exactly with my alarm instead of sleeping in because I was bored and in pain.
Soda and juice is too sweet for me.
A lot of music in public spaces is too loud.
No longer understanding slang is normal.
There’s not enough hours (days) to decompress after a work day.
Steam badges with grossly large years of service …
Back when that South Park episode aired, where the kids are into rockband, but don’t care about Randy’s ability to play real guitar. Randy doesn’t get it. This is then compared to Kyle’s baby brother Ike who likes to watch Lets Play streamers but does not actually play the damn video games. Kyle doesn’t get it. To me, that’s when divergence between me and the next generation settled in. I do not understand the appeal of streamers. I do not want to watch people play games, I want to play games myself.
Since then, a number of other things have popped up, but that was basically the recognized turning point.
I started watching people play games because I got old. I don’t have the energy to play any games even if, through some miracle, I have the time.
Then you may consider requesting from your government to facilitate and fund research to develop real aging-reversal therapies. They will not be available next year, but with right focus they could be here in 10-20 years.
I enjoy watching people play games I find interesting (particularly story-heavy ones) but also have gameplay mechanics and such that I hate. Also people just really talented at some things, but that wears off. The thing I’ve watched most is A Link to the Past randomizer runs.
Can’t remember where I got these scars.
Wait until they disappear and then you can’t find them but you know they were somewhere
67 did it for me. I tried to understand it and reflexivity said “well that’s fucking dumb” before realizing that’s literally the point. And we’ve all done anti-authority shit at some point. This random act of nothing is what a constantly surveilled generation does to elicit a reaction against a system that has proven it can ignore everyone.
I keep thinking of 67 as a cargo cult meme. You see the older gens making in jokes that just appear to be random words (when your not in on it.) So why not just take a random number and do the same?
These youngunns and their docker containers…
It’s fine and all, but I prefer to run stuff without them
Can’t code without a mouse. What the fuck does a mouse have to do with code! If I want to shoot nazis, I’ll go plug my mouse in.
depends on your job role but for my job we have 1 project that’s not containerized and each time we have issues with it I want to crush my fucking balls
containerization is incredibly wasteful but it does solve some problems
How is it wasteful?
like flatpak. when you don’t build all your containers on the same base image and shared layers, then you’ll store lots of slightly different versions of the same libraries and other files, both on disk, and then in memory
All of ours are containerised, but you can’t even dev in it because zscaler.
I was the same and then I rebuilt a server that originally took me forever to get up and running with all it’s weird requirements and had it going in docker in like 30 minutes with my old settings imported in.
I still compartmentalize individual programs into their own VM/CTs though, even when using docker.
Still have no idea how to package one together myself though.
I refuse to support or use subscription software, because back in my day we paid for software once and if we wanted a newer version we had the choice to just stew in our bug ridden version lacking the latest features forever and WE WERE HAPPY TO DO SO
I miss the days where you would actually own a copy of what you purchased. I also miss going to movie rental places.
I need to hold my phone further and further away for the letters to not be blurry
Some of them I have given up on 🤦
If this is Android, you might investigate Settings->Display & brightness->Font and try sliding the Font size slider there.
Any sport injuries or faceplant that would have been a mild 2 day annoyance in your 20 is now a permanent damage you can still feel after 3 months or more.

—Abe SimpsonI’ve always been an old soul, and unfortunately an old body as well. I had shingles when I was 10, developed cataracts at 30 and arthritis at 35.
EDIT:
I think it was 12 not 10 that I had shingles. I also had shingles again a few years ago.

Sounds like a speed-run of living to be 100.
