  Fun fact: “obsfurcate” is used in the article. It is not recognized as a word by any dictionary consulted.

  WTG TechCrunch.

  Fuck Meta and Mark.

  “You won’t find it in the dictionary”. No shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the secret to a happy social-media experience?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t take it seriously. Don’t put up with toxicity. Don’t be afraid to do without.

  Dunno why this would rate a down doot, it’s a little fluffy, but mildly informative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FPF statement on withdrawal of Kansas search warrant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “The Record should sue not only to deter future searches of its newsroom, but to protect journalists and news outlets around the country from future illegal raids.”

  Not to mention a wrongful death that needs to be addressed.

  Squeeze the subscribers wallets! Squeeze!

  There goes the Texas grid, for damn sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most religious conservatives support capitalist ideology?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In a term? Dominion mentality. Add a little master/servant hierarchy, a pinch of patriarchy and stir well.

  55” infotainment screen, in a fucking vehicle? That’s what I have in my living room. 🤯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Gen Xer's Thoughts on Strange New Worlds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with everything you’ve said, but would add that I yearn for a return to the season length of TOS, or TNG.

  These 10 episode seasons, or eight in some cases, since streaming’s become the default, are for the birds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No other piece of clothes or accessoir indicates the political tendencies of the wearer as reliable as the sunglasses they wear.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a pretty broad generalization there.

  What lead you to this conclusion?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WoW Servers - a community to discuss WoW private servers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone have recommendations on a vanilla server?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which privacy-focused search engine are you using?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  ddg.gg for the win.

  Started using them when I confronted the Google filter bubble for the first time.

  But what totally sold me? DDG provided me link for a product I had searched for in vain on Google for years at that point, using the exact same query.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm looking for games with unique or experimental game design⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Osmos. Become the biggest. Ambient background music, trippy game play, mobile only, AFAIK.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Government ignored its own experts over wildlife protection⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Bet those recommendations were snubbed, because there was insufficient profit to be made by those controlling the purse strings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Witcher season 4 filming on hold until 2024⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Annoyingly lean on facts, but plenty of speculation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Box Office: ‘Sound of Freedom’ to Play in Movie Theaters Overseas⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “Faith based political thriller”?

  IMDB assigned it the Action, Biography, Drama, History & Thriller tags.

  Leading man is a hot mess too.

  Just because the device says “smart”, doesn’t mean the OEM was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony CEO Tony Vinciquerra Says Offer To SAG-AFTRA Was “Best Ever Made” — AVP Summit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I was thinking the latter, but the former’s more realistic.

  With how many poison pills inside?

  See posts from Will Wheaton and others on what creative accounting does to residual income. Ronald Reagan must be spinning like a top ATM.

  The best crack? OG WoW.
