Things that will make your computer meaningfully faster:
Replacing a HDD with an SSD
Adding RAM
Graphics cards if you're nasty
Uninstalling resource hogs like Norton or McAfee (if you're using Windows then the built-in Windows Security is perfectly fine; if you're using a mac consider bitdefender as a free antivirus or eset as a less resource intensive paid option)
Customizing what runs on startup for your computer
Things that are likely to make internet browsing specifically meaningfully faster:
Installing firefox and setting it up with ublock origin
adding the Auto Tab Discard extension to firefox to sleep unused tabs so that they aren't constantly reloading
Closing some fucking tabs bud I'm sorry I know it hurts I'm guilty of this too
Things that will make your computer faster if you are actually having a problem:
Running malwarebytes and shutting down any malicious programs it finds.
Correcting disk utilization errors
Things that will make your computer superficially faster and may slightly improve your user experience temporarily:
Clearing cache and cookies on your browser
Restarting the computer
Changing your screen resolution
Uninstalling unused browser extensions
Things that do not actually make your computer faster:
Deleting files
Registry cleaners
Defragging your drive
Passively wishing that your computer was faster instead of actually just adding more fucking RAM.
This post is brought to you by the lady with the 7-year-old laptop that she refuses to leave overnight for us to run scans on or take apart so that we can put RAM in it and who insists on coming by for 30-minute visits hoping we can make her computer faster.
!!The Looper Mouse Challenge!!
The loooper mouse challenge is a thing I just made up. It's pretty simple, but requires two computer setups.
Rules
It is imperative that there exists a significant difference in input between the two configurations (e.g. layout), and it is imperative that the selected input is identical (e.g. mouse and mouse, keyboard and keyboard). This difference in setup must not be ignored. This difference in setup must not be circumvented. You must try your best to use both setups equally. The duration of this challenge is 2 months.
For the sake of a pun, the reward is satisfaction and a chocolate mousse, if desired.
Examples
Here are some examples of applicable setups:
Dvorak on 1, QWERTY on 2
Mouse on left hand on 1, mouse on right hand on 2
Mouse buttons are opposite between the two setups (1: primary left, 2: primary right)
Your track point-style mouse is inverted in direction for setup 2 (up means down)
Be creative, but make sure it's something that matters critically to your workflow/productivity!

Elegy to a few lost lines
My computer broke at work last week And ne'er before was poet rent: Despairing such prodigious loss Of verse that spanned a continent... ...or more. So many pages passed, So many trisyllabic turns of verse Were any even built to last? That I'll never know is worse...
Tools are and have always been an extension of ourselves. There is no reason that computers and global networking are any different. It's just a tool that the human species use on a planet with so many, diverse tool-users.
I don't have the words to describe how much I love this person's thinking.

How do I stop this? I can't get it from the store and idk what to do in the settings
I already downloaded the game, I just can't open it
Edit: I figured it out!
I found the greatest reaction set:
I just finished something for my math class that I have been working on for two hours. When I hit submit it all deleted... kill me
