This whole thread is making me cry laugh

Why do you think they’ll die alone and lonely?

Even if they were a bad person, it’s understood that bad people constantly die happy with people around them that love them, in the end.

Is yours better?

Do you need to make something better in order to criticize what already exists?

FAQ was dead linking when I clicked on it earlier, too.

Gonna be digg 2.0 (or 3.0?) all over again.

6 USB-C port failures in my 1.75 years with the phone.

That’s wild.

I had a micro USB charging port give me an issue once, but I’ve never had a program with a headphone jack or USBC port. Wow.

If it’s a dedicated toolbar button I’m about to download it

Gonna code up a plugin that adds a button to disable or enable JS on browsers.

Vivaldi phases it out? I haven’t been off mobile in a while so I didn’t know that was planned. Waterfox still does ok.

Nothing happens in Mastodon.

That’s not a bad thing. Just find the instance that fits your hobbies or interest and vibe.

I just removed the Discover feed and stick to For You or Mutuals. Much more pleasant experience.

Bluesky is great because you can make your own algo or go with one that isn’t meant to keep you on the platform forever.

Mastodon is still my favorite, though.

That being said: I hardly use either, these days. I pop on, check statuses for people I care about, then I’m off. I don’t engage in banter or get into arguments. It’s way better than the other social platforms for this reason. …but it won’t get that same terminally online user base because it doesn’t seem coded to do that, thankfully.

The older I get, the less I drink alcohol. Everything got expensive. It’s just not worth it anymore.

The way the frames are lined up makes this harder to follow.

It used to be that hotels overcharged and airbnb was a way to get around that.

Now, hotels overcharged and airbnb raised the cost of rent/housing.

It gets worse.

What, you think every single company on Earth is dumb? You think that every programmer adopting it is dumb? You guys have no clue.

I’m sure you’re using the universal “you” here, but: I’m literally a programmer that uses AI through work. I’m currently on a team working with/creating our own internal agent. I still think that, for most fields, it’s snake oil. If you think the tech can be used to fight power: go for it, I guess. Instead it seems to be used to rationalize layoffs and generate CSAM on Twitter.

It would be easy to find out, one way or another, when reviewing arrest records and convictions, no?

I have no clue. I felt like I was stealing something. There was a screen attached to it with lights showing me that I was on camera.

X is bad, but have you considered that Y is also bad?

Fair

The cameras beep at you too
