If I can avoid it, yes.
the fact that it's there at all shitcans the app for me. i will not tolerate apps that try to shovel crapware at me.
i will not give service to those asswipe managers that think i want AOL as my home page and have their app offer to set it as my home page. you know what my home page is? FUCKING
about:blank
! AND I"M PROUD OF IT!and those add on toolbars?! they can all DIAF. because fuck that shit, those toolbars serve me no benefit and actively harm me, both by increasing the attack surface malware has for infecting me and for their data collection of my browsing habits (although i admit that is a lesser concern)
no. software that thinks it's a good idea to bundle crapware in its installer is banned from my computers.
BANNED I SAY!

@TimeBandit Yes. I did buy a Windows 8.1 PC once, though.

@blakeyrat what if I made a new one in PHP and GTK?

Cable guy takes a call while messing with my modem.
"Yes, you mean tonight? Yes, I can pack it up, not a problem... but that's a long ride. What if cops stop us? .... Yeah.... hmm...."
He stepped out now to deal with my cable stealing neighbors. I hope he fixes my problem before they arrest him.I'll be damn, he actually fixed it.
You magnificent bastard, may all your schemes come to fruition, while the cops remain several steps behind you.

Status: My Windows Phone has decided to stop telling me about new texts. Hm. Time to reboot it, and hope that fixes the problem.
@blakeyrat You should try Android.You should. That way you'll never have to remember to reboot it, because it'll randomly do that for you at random.

@accalia said in The Official Status Thread:
you've got a better client that supports the AOL instant messager protocall and isn't the shittastic AIM client itself?

@JazzyJosh said in The Official Status Thread:
@accalia Pidgin looks awful. I have no idea why it's recommended as a Jabber client compared to other software with good support for group chats.
I think because it's the only one that exists. Or works. Or isn't bundled with shitware.

Looks like it. 3 of my dear neighbors decided, why should they pay for their own cable when they can just do a hack job attaching themselves to mine.

Status: had to change the message on a commit that hasn't been pushed to the server yet. This is one of those things that should take approximately 0.5 seconds to accomplish, but Git somehow turns into a Herculean quest.
It took me almost no time to figure out how to do that in VS. Are you trying to use the command line?
@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
@TimeBandit That only works on the most recent commit, and you know it.
Oh, well that's different.
@accalia said in The Official Status Thread:

King Digital Entertainment PLC, which is owned by Activision Blizzard Inc.

That was just the setup for the referential joke in the next quote-response, not seriously meant.

Huh, I don't know if I've ever seen that one of his. If I did, it somehow slipped my mind. Thanks!

Car: "Hey this is Bob come do stuff when you do things." Would you like to reply?

It's interesting how we feel the need to be polite when talking with machines. Deep down, we believe they are little people. I wonder if that will change.

App idea of the day:
Like tinder, only for companies. If you swipe right on Coca Cola, then Coca Cola might offer you to promote their products.
No, this isn't some joke I came up with during my morning shit. We will likely be making this in some form or another.

Interesting. I'm not sure if I'm that little, but...
Then again, I'm not very polite at all when talking to machines, I wonder if they feel put off by my direct-ness?Status: Wondering if there are any active Turing Tests online...

Since you're on 10 though, the UWP app isn't actually that bad and does well for "native" access.

Or maybe I just always say "no thanks" to someone offering to do something for me purely out of habit, and you're an idiot trying to make some grand philosophical point based on a knee-jerk reaction.
As an alternative theory.

I don't even think my cat's a little person.
