Honestly I don’t mind reasonable data caps. Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.

But with 4k streaming, downloading 100gb game updates on PS5, and YouTube basically constantly on in the background, I’ll hit the 1TB per month comcast limit in like 2 weeks. And that is just me, nevermind having any roommates at all.

1TB just isn’t enough for the modern Internet.

Journey is a spiritual journey for me. I try to play it once every couple of years to remind me of the impermanence of life and existence.

Fuck the robot snakes, I want a long scarf.

At this point it’s just a meme. I mean I definitely don’t get it, but I have nothing against you as a person lol.

… It’s pied piper

People who watch literal recordings of movies from inside a movie theater are psychopaths who really, really don’t care about quality. I highly doubt they are the target audience of movie ticket sales.

What is it

Yep

I guess so, but ultimately if I don’t notice them it’s fine. I restart my Mac maybe once a month for updates, that’s about all I functionally need to do.

Yep I do that on a local project basis before I make any updates. Saved me a couple times from my own mistakes 😅

Checking the backups… Ah yes, the backup done in August 2017.

Hello boss, I broke the company. I’ll see myself out

My m1 MacBook Air is hands down the most incredible laptop I’ve ever owned. I’ve had it for 3ish years now and it just doesn’t fucking stop. Battery life is still amazing and runs just as fast as it did day 1.

I’ve NEVER had that experience with any Intel/PC laptop, ever. Honestly I’m never going back.

I mean, at least in this case he can take down fake copies from the most popular app stores. That mitigates the reach of malicious clones a lot.

Whew

GrayJay just launched and it’s fucking fantastic.

It combines YouTube and Twitch into one platform in a really intuitive way. Has its own comment system and rating system for videos. No ads obviously. It’s a whole fucking thing and it’s incredible.

I’m glad someone else sees this problem. Thanks for writing it out.

It is true that there are some pretty impressive apps made in China. Genshin impact is honestly some kind of black magic, how they made it so well optimized for mobile. That tends to be the exception though, not the rule.

I did when I was 6. It was a plastic bag full of bark. I buried it in the school playground sand box one day, and came back for it a week later.

I found it, along with some cat poop. Overall 9/10 experience, would recommend.

Pixelfed is nice but their porn filters just don’t work at all.

I am on the main flagship instance. If you click the explore tab, you see porn. Instantly.

Idk if this is intended or not but until they fix that it simply can’t go mainstream lol.

Thanks friend! You’re doing the work of Kamisama

It’s all good dude. You are right, it has been used in the past to discredit people. I think there is an argument to be had that in most instances, the label was applied for good reason, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say that it was correct 100% of times. Kinda like the label “Nazi.” Honestly that is thrown around so much that it starts to lose it’s meaning! (Perhaps that is the intent…?)

Hope you have a good weekend. 👍

Well said

Yeah I intentionally didn’t go through their post history. Don’t have time for that lol. I mostly wrote that out for anyone who read his post and thought maybe there wasn’t a counter argument to what he said.

I don’t like the idea of conflating falsely accusing people of being a pedophile with calling someone out for holding harmful right-wing beliefs.

The first (saying someone is supporting pedophiles) is oftentimes used as a method to support bans on anti-encryption technology. It is a bad-faith justification for harmful and 1984 type legislation.

The second, however, is an argument used by right wing extremists to justify hate speech.

To be clear - I’m not saying the government should mandate a ban on conservative media. I’m just saying that as a normal citizen, it is a justified, non-harmful act to call people with harmful right-wing beliefs ‘right wing extremists.’

Lol good analogy

If it comes from a large corporation, its probably ethical, since they are exploiting you (or others) in an unethical way.

If it’s an indie team (or one man team for that matter) then it’s probably unethical.

lolll

Bye bye democracy there I guess

Sounds about right. oh well.

Was Twitter ever really a left leaning platform in the first place? It pretty much always felt like it was filled with Russian bots and maga shit.

So I guess good job Musk for burning down a shit website? Lol

As a side note, Mastodon is legitimately fantastic. The community there is genuinely nice.
