So, a quick, short joking post that kinda touches the difference between the “moderation” (some would call it censorship) between an AI powered answer and old-school AS (Artificial stupidity? No?)

Random tech musing
If you’ve been around the internet for, honestly, as long as I have (since 2001), there are changes that you notice.
One that always confounded me, was that PMs on forums or whatever suddenly became DMs.

Getting old…
You know you’re getting old when to the good old Conan, the barbarian question:
“What is best in life?”
“Hot water, good dentistry and soft lavatory paper” starts to sound like a really good answer. A product of profound wisdom, even.
Yeah, recently found myself reading (well, listening to) the Discworld books, had never read them and I guess it’s never too late to read something that seems interesting.
Merry Christmas 2022
I did it, I spent an entire year without posting a single time in this site.
At least this year I didn’t bullshit myself into thinking I was going to post more often.
I might post the shit I should have posted this year next year. The problem is, well, the name. I haven’t used “vortex69” as a nickname outside of single player games in the last 10 years. To be fair, I barely ever used it anywhere.
At the same time, I’ve been posting on this decrepit old wordpress since 2010, I’m not about to stop and start something new.
Obviously the correct solution is to just post what I should have posted and edit the dates so it seems like I posted a bunch of shit during the whole year. (like I’m doing with this post since I forgot to schedule my yearly “Merry Christmas” post)
Anyway, Merry Christmas, hope you have a great time with family, friends or by yourself.

Merry Christmas, 2021
Hope all of you people who aren’t reading this have a nice Christmas.
This year was the year I was going to start posting more often in this site (As were the last few years).
I didn’t post any more often than the sporadic post every few months in years past.
Partially because this site was mostly for my dumb projects that I’ve cast aside as I got older (and dumber).
Well, merry Christmas, hope everyone has a good time with their friends, families or, if it’s the case, alone.

Uhhh…I don’t think I should…
Found this image in my screenshots folder. I guess I had it there because I planned to do a small rant about it, somewhere last year.
But I didn’t.
So I’ll do it today.

As anyone who reads my posts might have guessed, I buy stuff on eBay, straight from China.
Last year, with the start of the zombie apocalypse (or an extra strong flu? Forget which it was), shipping from China became both more expensiva and slower.

Happy new year.
Let’s hope 2021 isn’t even worse than 2020.
Then again…how?
Zombie apocalypse? Apocalyptic floods? Gigantic earthquakes?
Better stop giving the Universe ideas of what to do.
Merry Christmas 2020!
Here we are, in the post-apocalyptical realities of a worldwide epidemic.
I jest, but yeah, some shit changed.
For example, all the cheap crap from China had a price hike. But I might rant about that in some other post…we’ll see.
But what is really important is to wish everyone who reads this (i.e.: no one) a Merry Christmas.

A chain of events.
It’s the little things that sometimes make you think about the universe and how shit works.
Take as example this little meaningless chain of events.
