I close my day here with one of the best quote about the modern world from Luke Smith:
"Most of what the modern world has done to us is get us highly emotionally involved in things beyond our control, while taking our attention from improving our lives in meaningful ways. If you feel your life is wasting away, it's probably because you have way to much meaningless noise in your life."
You have the choice to say NO.
Take care!
I decided I limit my #mastodon usage until we have proper #search and quotable #boost. Sorry, but in the current state mastodon is a half social thing.
And I don't even like social networks, but I want mastodon be better.
If I could code I'd fork it right now just to add this 2 function.
Today I wanted to boost message, but not because I agree with it, but I wanted to start a dialogue.
And I can't.
So yes, mastodon is a half baked something. Sorry to say that.
How not to write about a show he probably watched, but he has no idea what's it all about?

"but an audience can only take so many holy revelations before it longs for a return to the simple joys of cool space battles and robot sexy time."
If you only liked BSG because of sexy robots and space battles....
I can recommend Transformers, it has sexy robots (and humans), and battles...

Does Mashable or Marcus Gilmer know that America is a continent and not a country? In fact that there are 3 continent with the word "America" in it.

Hey #Mashable, hire me! I will provide fake news, real ones, anything you want, for half of the price that your average!
Hey guys, if you don't see me here too much it's not because of rich people want to kick balls, but because I have a new addiction, called Stardew Valley.
This frakking game, I love it so much. I play at evenings and I feel I sleep better because of it.
I haven't look up any guide, I just want to discover things.
You can buy #stardewvalley on #GOG - #drmfree

I knew I had to buy this game!
Dear Linux players, who like Steam and want to play more AAA games on their system.
I can't wait to look at your face when you need to install Uplay and Bethesda shit on your ubuntu/arch/whatever distro.
Meanwhile I just play my GOG games, casually installing it offline and play offline.
But yeah, GOG never did anything for Linux gamers...
Dear Gnome devs,
The list you mention about App menu problems were there when you started that shit!

Jurassic Park is a frakking great movie!

I agree with the RLM guys this is the end of an era in filmmaking. People realized how much they can do with computers and they use it everywhere since, making most things worse with it.
I still have my #jurassicpark OST on casette tapes somewhere and I have the books too.
(Spielberg, but probably Universal as a whole frakked up the second movie so hard, that I wasn't interested in the JPW until last year)
These RLM commentary tracks are hillarious:
10 minutes into the Justice League movie:
Who did this frakking crap movie? Why are they still working?
I am not a writer or director, but I can spot fake shit now, you can't fool me.
No. 1. rule of superheroes: enstablish character abilities. Where did WW superspeed and flying come from? And why she couldn't do that in WW1?
This is so fake and laughable it hurts.
In Jurassic Park right before they go on the tour, there is the discussion about the park. It's interesting that if you think about it, it's not just about science and nature, but a little bit about commercialization (Apple came to my mind), and other things. How we - as humans - like to control everything.
Funny thing is the second movie become the victim of this #commercialization effort. Bigger the better, right, dear Spielberg?
How to make stupid decisions before time:

(note: not my post)
Twitch changed so much (good and bad), while Youtube become worse.
But of course sometimes we can change our minds:

#JossWhedon
I remember when I discovered Buffy on TV, one of the first show I actually watched and later made me a TV junkie. I liked and Angel and Firefly too.
I still remember when I was seriously ill I watched the amazing Dollhouse S2.
I was happy that Marvel gave Joss The Avengers, which I liked too. Remember the comic-con announcement with all the big stars on stage.
Now when I look at his twitter, he is only talking about politics, nothing about culture. Sad old man he become. :(
Happy birthday to Sensitive Joss Whedon!
Where can I buy the whole album?
It looks like Steam summer sale is going on? Hm, on scale of notinterested to hype, I am so uninterested that it is not even funny.
I don't have money for games right now anyway (only on GOG, I collected like 1.8 euros).
Does The Long Dark devs have anything against DRMfree? Because their games was 50%off on GOG sale, now it is 75% off on Steam. WTF?!
Also if you have enough money, you are free to gift me Hitman, Hehehe
This is actually not a bad dark theme for GTK2/GTK3. I am very neutral about the look of OS X, but this looks relaxing. Not too dark either.

I use it with the Clarity icon theme:

Safe Eyes btw is a #Linux program, it sits on your panel and warns you periodically to take a short or longer breaks from your computer.
While it has exercise is for the eye, I recommend to modify it for your own needs (to get up and walk or do some exercise).
Your body will thank you for it in the long run.
It's almost a week since I reached another milestone in my #weightloss journey. I lost 15 kg, and I am at a normal weight - according to the BMI thingy - at the top part, but still normal. I was obesse 9 months ago.
Now I reached a point where regular exercise is possible for me, and I actually enjoy it.
I use the Safe Eyes program, so I don't sit hours and hours in front of my computer. I use it as a reminder. I will do jumping jacks every 10 minutes (for 1 min.)
I think this is a good start
remember when the internet was fun and full of possibilities? yknow how now it's a miserable hell? reminder that what happened is that capitalism colonized it and now it's just as shitty as everything else capitalism's got its hooks in
like. seo, algorithms, targeted advertising: these are all DESIGNED to keep you from finding some weirdo's X-Files fan page or geocities star trek web ring. I would 1000x rather find those than tweets from the u.s. president, yet here we are #thankscapitalism
