  Years ago I was in LA on business and ended up on I-5. All of a sudden traffic stopped dead. Eventually people were getting out of their cars and walking around. About a half-hour later, traffic started up again. We never saw what was responsible for the blockage. No wreckage, no obvious marks or debris on the pavement, nothing. I’m glad I live in a small city nowhere near California.

  It seemed like imgur was the only hosting site for Reddit for the longest time. Then Reddit started self-hosting and imgur seemed to disappear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DM me on Spotify: Spotify launches a messaging feature.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I noped the hell out of Spotify when I found out it was hosting the Joe Rogan podcast. It’s only enshittified even more since. And now this.

  From what I’ve read, it’s something that Jeff Bezos would pay real money for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

  This is why I’m holding on to my “dumb” TV for as long as I can. Being able to pick and choose what streaming device I use is great, and if I have to build my own someday, that’s just fine.

  In case you wondered why Japan has abandoned its post-WWII policies on its military being merely a defensive force, this is why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this point who in the world could stop Trump over doing something totally illegal? Like lets say using bunker buster bombs to destroy DEM cities? Or is USA communially FUCKED?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could stop him or would stop him? SCOTUS has granted him blanket immunity for anything done as an “official act”, without bothering to specify exactly what an official act is. This has opened up a Pandora’s Box, needless to say. They’re literally expanding the power of the President, not limiting it.

  Congress, since it is fully GOP-dominated, will neither impeach him nor attempt to override any veto should they pass laws to curtail his activities. Not that they would, of course.

  The military has a duty to follow the Constitution and is supposed to disregard any orders to the contrary. But whether the military will act according to Trump or the Constitution is an open question. Remember, Trump has removed a number of senior officers whose loyalty to him was in question. And there are a lot of right-wing extremist types in the lower ranks of the military.

  In short, we’re probably FUCKED.

  Because techbros never consider the downsides or misuses of the technologies they promote, only the profit potential.
