Just found a huge pile of office 2007 installation discs with license codes at work. Might try that out since every other office software available today suck so much

Québecois TV shows! Those are usually rare and expensive, but I was able to get all that for 60$ on marketplace. Always a great find, always happy to add them to my collection.

On the left, DVD sets of "La galère" TV shows from season 1 through 6. On the right, DVD box sets of "Les bougons" season 1 to 3, "Les Lavigueur", and the movie "vitez Bougon" in Blu-Ray.

FYI you’re not being polite by waving someone through a stop sign when it’s your right of way. Being polite is moving your ass according to the rules and not confusing people.

Newest addition to my #PhysicalMedia collection: south park, season 1 through 20. Found in a local store, 5 bucks each, 100$ total. Not sure I could've got a better deal on that

South park DVD collection, season 1 through 20, in order.

At my parent's place this morning. It's -30° outside today but very sunny. The wood stove was lit this morning when it was still dark but it's now dead. Its still very comfortable inside thanks to the good hemp isolation and the solarium blowing air inside

Picture of the solarium with the fan blowing air from it to the house (little trap opened on the right above the door). We can also see part of the masonry stove on the right

being a hater is important. or rather, if you are a hater by nature it's better to not deny it. we need ecumenical haters, haters with a willingness to keep open minds, haters who can explain why they like something just as assiduously. That way when they say "this is dog shit" it has real power

I finally decided to give vibe coding a shot. Here's my opinion: It is not a good tool, and those who think it is convinced themselves it was because they don't know any better.

Being a 3D printing enthusiast with 0 budget goes from "I HATE THIS FILTHY PEICE OF SHIT WHY CAN'T IT JUST WORK" to "OMG I love this thing so much it's the best machine ever look at this beautiful part" And there is nothing in between. Why is everything I do like this?

This is the reason I prefer physical media over privacy. I like to watch my movies in english, my family prefers french dubbed, dvds offers both without having to download the movie twice. And you are guaranteed to have a certain quality too.

My newest addition to my #PhysicalMedia collection: Fullmetal alchemist (2003). Some people ask me why I love dvds and blue-rays so much. Well, this is it. There is currenly no way to watch this series legally, unless you got it physical when they were still beimg sold

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) DVDs, volume 1 through 6.

"vibe coding" is a phrase wasted on AI nonsense. these fuckers don't know that REAL vibe coding is when i'm tackling a project way above my skill level and i still manage to succeed at whatever i'm doing. now those are real vibes. not that claude shit

The "Boss makes a dollar I make a dime, that's why [your action here] on company time" is absolutely beholden to the Ghost Rider Rule: if you think you can make it better, no you cant. Shit on company time encourages even passive rebellion; longer versions just highlight generations of failures.

Adobe express seems to be down and the group chat is full of people in full melt down that they’re unable to deliver key assets… THIS is why you cannot trust online tools. If you’re doing anything professionally you need stuff that’ll work offline.

Salesforce is like buying a mercedes off marketplace. Seems awesome at first, but turns out to be a large money pit. And by the time you get to nitice, you're already in too deep. "Might as well invest some more"... But no matter how much money you pour into it, it's never really gonna be great

I like when youtubers put the title in the thumbnail, because then I know what language the video's in. It's so fucking annoying that every title is automatically translated, and that apparently can't be turned off

Would you be comfortable, as an artist, if a client asked you for screenshots of the process to prove that you're not using AI? On one hand I see how it could be insulting. On the other, I'm beginning to worry people might start selling AI designs for a quick buck. #DigitalArt #Art #AI

It only recently occurred to me that twitter is horse shit because you get paid for interaction. If you get paid for interaction, you’d just say the most incendiary shit as a full time job, I’m sure it’s a small to decent living. It’s a shit website simply because there’s incentive to make it shit

I bought Solidworks for makers in the cloud so that I could use it on my linux machine, but I should've picked the desktop version even if it's only available on windows. Sometimes, it will lose connection, and then all unsaved work will be lost. Pain in the ass. #CADdesign #3DPrinting #Solidworks

"Video games aren't expensive now because they used to cost $70-$80 in the 90s too." Is such a disingenuous argument. If you're old enough to remember paying $80 for a N64 game, then you're also old enough to remember paying only $50 for PS2, GameCube, and Xbox games.

The speed of writing code has never, and will never be the bottleneck. The bottleneck, the limiting factor, is always in the thinking about the code and how it works, understanding it. People who use chatgpt to write code are literally removing the only part of programming that is actually useful.

After months without 3D printing, I finally got my ender 3 working again after some upgrades (direct drive extruder and magnetic textured bed). This is the result: possibly the worst benchy that I've ever seen. I'm still hyped though, it's nice to see it working even if badly for now. #3DPrinting

Very badly printed benchy. The layers barely stick to each other, the precision is bad and it's stringing like crazy. Lots of buggers also.

Also, buying anything at all nowadays is a pain. Most irl stores don't bother keeping an inventory of specific parts anymore, making buying online the only solution the moment you're looking for something slightly specific. With the enshittification of Google, it is not always an easy process either
