not very much. honestly, only once or twice, for a laugh, which is probably still more than most folks lol



what you wrote sounds completely insane to me. sure i don’t use a mouse on my phone very much, but no way would i ever prefer a trackpad to a mouse for a desktop or laptop. and tons of people still carry a mouse to use with their laptops, based on my observations. i really think you may be an outlier here.


is there a non sexist/queerphobic meaning for that term? i would assume the bigotry is the whole point.


some ereaders do use android, my old onyx did, but honestly i much prefer the dedicated solution kobo has. they could use android, but if they’ve got the resources to make their own os targeting their actual use case instead of cramming a mobile phone os in there, why wouldn’t they? even their os has too much cruft for my taste, but it is a lot less than an android ereader.


second day you say? why, by then we can have the second backup bridge designed, printed, and installed next to the first, so that is not a problem. every two days, a new bridge.


what subtitle? all i see is the title “Such an interesting idea!” and a link with a thumbnail. is there more information that my client isn’t displaying?


from the thumbnail, i really thought this was gonna be a joke about reinventing paragraphs



i don’t want to go to all that effort. if you feel like it, could you describe it?


couldn’t read the whole article, but the first couple paragraphs seem to contradict the headline. ‘~15% of reddit users have encountered corporate astroturfing’ is not the same as ‘15% of content on reddit is corporate astroturfing’.


i thought the top bit was originally 0 or 1 depending on the evilness/odiousness of the rest of the number, as a parity check.


here are the books as told in the video description if anyone cares. lots of amazon links and i did not check any of them.

i have no idea what connection you think there is between piracy and adblockers. if anything, wouldn’t killing all adblockers encourage more piracy, not less?


i think they probably donate so much to make sure they have at least one competitor so they don’t get busted up like Standard Oil


i so seldom see anyone actually write out ‘id est’ instead of ‘i.e,’ that part of my brain insisted for a solid second that it had to be a typo lol



I say it’s not a crime. In my eyes, it isn’t 🤷. Doesn’t mean I’m right, doesn’t mean the law is on my side.

what do you think ‘crime’ means?


i do use a couple streaming services, but i don’t pay for any of them. i do pay for a vpn usually, but i am currently between such services. i think my partner pays for spotify.
