How to Change Microsoft Office’s Default Save Location on Windows 10.

A most useful article. Microsoft software (as do most others) these days tries to save everything to the cloud. I never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want this to happen.

All computers are now broken. Getting harder and harder to fix them. One day, and soon, it’ll just be impossible.

Just to clarify something. In the past, I’d been baffled by my fellow citizens, frustrated by them, annoyed by them, agitated, displeased and disquieted by their poor choices and their harmful habits of mind and body, but I’d never — not even once — hated them.

But this long year for the first time in my life, I find myself actively and bitterly despising many of my fellow Americans. Not all, of course, but too, too many. Not just MAGAts, either, but surely that is a lot of them. I’m just so fucking unbelievably pissed at so many people here for taking so much time away from me and my partner and my friends by refusing to wear masks, by not avoiding gatherings when it would’ve mattered, by not following even the precautionary principle in the face of a global pandemic. This could’ve been over in a month. Truly it could have. But here we are still living through this purgatory and I hate every motherfucker who had anything to do with it.

I loathe them now and I will hate them forever and if I could hurt them all a lot I would. I would hurt them a whole lot.

That’s why I want to depart as soon as practicable, because I can’t let this hatred consume me. I am just so angry all the time and it comes out in reactive and poorly-reasoned posts and in my interactions with others. I have to ease back even before I can get out of this country.

Even more than this exhausting and unsustainable hatred, I feel contempt. And as anyone knows, contempt is the doom of a relationship. I feel contempt for their lack of comprehension of risk (on both sides), their lack of empathy for their fellow citizens, their lack of any notion of civic duty or responsibility. Contempt and revulsion is all I have left for many of the citizens of my own country and what they’ve caused this place to become and I feel all that because they fucking deserve it.

I have too many VMs

and usually I solve this problem by making more VMs

I hear you, brother.

The libs as the new Puritans. Who woulda thought!

About the below, my advice is that if there is any erotic content you like on the internet, download it now. In less than a year it’ll all be gone, or hosted on some Russian server that infects you with 100,000 bits of malware per second.

There’s not anything in particular that I want, but youtube-dl works on most sites (not just YouTube) and DownThemAll still works correctly on older, working versions of Firefox.

Listen to me now and believe me later, but anything with a boob, butt or peen is going to be disappeared from the internet soon, unless it’s put there by a large corp, and that’ll be that.

The prude libs and religious right will have finally gotten their way after all these years.

My friends’ restaurant, like many, is barely enduring. The government must do more.

But this is now the point — destroying small and medium businesses. Lockdowns otherwise now have no purpose at all in the US.
