That is depressingly insightful. See also: the internal war on everyone who isn’t a middle-aged white cis het man (and even some of them, too). Just negativity all around.
What really brings me down it’s the certainty that even if that is guy was suddenly not there anymore, there is a whole gaggle of like folk ready to continue that same rhetoric. How do you even dig yourselves out of that?
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 5 days ago:
I have commented stuff like this before, and gotten it deleted (or gotten summarily banned). I have been searching for spaces where this sort of discourse is even allowed, where non-vagina-havers get to say that many men suck but it’s not only their fault and they certainly can’t fix it in a vacuum.

What mates you think I was overkill to replace a ceo?
🙂 Thank you for bringing up a fun memory.
- Comment on I made a terminal-based hacker simulation game for CLI nerds. It's free. Feedback? 2 weeks ago:
I have not heard of Uplink (nor Bitburner). But I rotor recommend you try skynetsimulator.com - I am not affiliated, yadda yadda, it’s just a fun, free, online game.

My sincere apologies, Mexico is definitely on the good list.

…and simply agrees to never, ever, set foot in North America again. I’m not sure how this ploy works work out for our fine fellows in South America and Canada, the ones currently belabored with being the closest neighbours to The Wastelands.
I’m in.

Check the capacitors anyway please.

Eh, 80% of what this Dan fellow provides can’t be all that much…

It would be hilarious to see random civilians being casually followed by a policeman (policeperson?), overly and cheerfully “nah mate, you haven’t done a thing. I’m just here to watch. For now. Carry on.”

Reluctant upvote
- Comment on Exclusive: Microsoft is finally shutting down Skype in May 3 months ago:
My father, who worked for a huge computer manufacturer, was one approached by two young dudes asking for a server for their new startup. He listened to their proposition but couldn’t see how they were going to stay in business, so he turned them down and they went elsewhere for their hardware.
This was the two founders of Skype, Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström, some 20 years ago.
- Comment on Tinder-alternatives for the Fediverse 4 months ago:
The trouble is that with this sorry of thing you really do need some form of moderation or quality control (of the users, not (only) the platform) because it will be inundated by fake profiles and nasty content.
As much as I’m cheering for Alovoa I don’t see how this is solveable. 🥲

Man, the SE, ImageWriter, and LaserWriter really were peak industrial design. Ain’t nobody gonna convince me otherwise.

I went directly from a dot matrix (ImageWriter II ftw!) to a laser. Except for photo prints, I find it immensely practical to be able to print stuff at home.
