Oh good, yet another twitter clone social bubble.
I don’t get why they keep developing separate ones. at some point it has to be quicker to just fork mastodon and defederate from all other instances

- Comment on Working below minimum wage to save the planet 2 months ago:
Sometimes it’s about learning to fix things more than it is about fixing the thing.
I regularly just take shit apart when it fails even if i have no intention of fixing it.

- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 5 months ago:
In my current job the old manager okayed working on our own devices.
I would use my personal workstation to ssh into and do work on my work mac, did that for a few years. saved me disassembling my desk between uses every day or buying a costly KVM.
They seem to be getting a lot more uptight about security these days (although the “you can work on personal devices” rule hasnt been explicitly rescinded) so i have stopped interaction between my personal devices and work devices.
Having a M2 mac recently makes it easier, i can lie in bed and work pretty much all day on a single charge so my desk remains intact

- Comment on Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025 6 months ago:
My gripe is that i was on an ad free tier. They just changed it so that the tier that was previously add free now had ads.
If they had added an ad free tier below my tier i would probably still be a subscriber.
“you watch ads now, pay more or fuck off” didnt sit well with me so i fucked off
