@ Arnox:

Sold a game console locally, but the shopkeeper got real flaky because it was modded. He wanted to return it to full factory settings and I'm like... Why?

@ Arnox:

By the way, yes, he tested it all out.

@ Gauche:

Yeah, strange that - you'd think it help drive up the price - or you know, he just wanted the dragon porn gone for sure. Kids buying used psps full of porn, while funny, is a cruel act to pull

@ Battousai:

Maybe its easier for the shopkeeper to resell the console if its simply the base console with nothing else instead of having a bunch of extra stuff that was added via modding, which may or may not include malicious stuff which he could be held accountable for if the person that buys that console later has complaints. I mean you do want to sell the thing and not have your customers come back and demand refunds because they don't like what they got.

@ gaijinkaiju:

Because not everyone wants a modded console, and he likely doesn't want to take on the problems with dealing with a modded console from some rando

@ Arnox:

But anyone could also come into the shop after a console sale, claim the console was modded, and then demand their money back. Unless the merchant specifically took a video of the whole console operating in an unmodded state, the merchant wouldn't be able to prove it.

@ Arnox:

Honestly, if some customers want to act like dicks and try to scam the merchant out of money and/or a console, they're gonna find a way to do it.

YT finally got around their A/B testing to bring me the new and improved (hah!) GUI. And it's hideous.

There are two nice things about it though. For one, when you pause it, it will now hide the interface if your mouse stops moving, allowing for quick screenshots finally. The second is you can now actually fucking read the video section title on a white background when you move your mouse over the seek bar.

Everything else is dumb but at least generally non-intrusive.

Fair. It's just so... big. Definitely smartphone-centric.

@ Arnox:

A significant other of one of my relatives jokingly asked me how I even survive if I don't use ANY popular form of social media. Like not even an account on any popular social media.

@ Arnox:

It can quickly get annoying, but it's also pretty nice being a ghost on the internet. Comes with a lot of perks.

@ Vendor-Lazarus:

The only major "social media" I use is reddit (niche sub-reddits only). If that even counts as social media. No insta, tiktok, facebook, twitter, whatsapp, snapchat, etc. Surviving is easy. Then again, I've never needed to socialize with other people. Most humans are social creatures though. Sounds exhausting to me, having to focus on annoying and ultimately pointless drama.

Link Thursday at 1:52 PM

@ Arnox:

Yeah but it's annoying because it does cut you off from otherwise very easy social access points. One can definitely still get by, but you gotta be at least somewhat socially independent and/or have a good way around that major impediment.

Link Thursday at 6:05 PM

@ Arnox:

I walk around town, and sometimes, people get very curious about me. But there's no information about me that is able to be accessed on popular social media, so they have to resort to asking me sometimes awkward questions just to get any information about me.

Aight. Kdenlive's all set up for hardware rendering. Just gotta record me shouting about meaningless shit and we're off again.

I think that's just normal irl conversation. I've only been asked for my socials once in my life, by a much younger person. Has your experience been different?

It generally is normal conversation, hence why I said sometimes. Other times though, I can tell people people are pretty damn curious about me. And of course, that's not a bad thing at all. I just found it a little funny.

Well, looks like that happened just after my split from the LDS church, but otherwise, nope. lol

Bruh, he's practically out of his mind right now. He probably doesn't even know where he is.
