  naaaaaah… upstanding corporate global citizens such as google and adobe? no, never. no chance in hell. they’d never collude to do such an evil thing…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sitting on the toilet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  and then there’s the filthy-rich who may have a designated ‘butt washer’ on the payroll.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*Doesn't look like anything to me.*⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  all entirely whole pepperoni slices and far too many of them to be mass-market or chain pizza… and no burnt bits anywhere. it wasn’t even modeled after a real slice.

  and if you manage to evade physical harm, sickness will surely catch up with you. the black death was not a ‘one and done’ pandemic. it lingered and persisted here-and-there for centuries after the widespread pandemic (known today simply as ‘the plague’) that claimed 50m+ lives, including half of europe’s population at the time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need a tiebreaker⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  you’re gonna need to go two-tone. even tossing just an empty tp tube into either runs the risk of the bag breaking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is killing privacy sandbox in Chrome.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  possible. theirs might just become ‘third party’ cookies.

  but i think they’re confident that they will not have to give up anything tangible in the current proceedings. toss a little more money into the diaper pail, case is mysteriously dropped or government remedy neutered to a “try not to do that again”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FTC sues Uber, says company enrolled consumers in subscription service and charged them without their consent, made it difficult for users to cancel.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  muskrat still has that hallucination that everybody’s gonna be riding around in fully-autonomous self-driving teslas, right? so that’d mean this case will be ‘‘allowed’’ to proceed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comma use guide⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  works great when verbally giving someone a phone number… almost always messes 'em up. instead of usual cadence of ‘312, 867, 5309’… try something different like ‘312, 86, 75, 309’ or ‘3128, 675, 309’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vaccines are antivirus updates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  use the free antivirus (e.g. measles and chicken pox ‘parties’) instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In heat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  ddg isn’t really any better with that exact search query. all ‘fashion’ related items on the first page.

  you get the expected top result (imdb page for the film ‘heat’) by using simply: angelina jolie heat

  the ability to produce a never-ending supply of highly-contagious stupid is donvict’s superpower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  rar has recovery records. i know it’s a somewhat niche feature, one far more popular in the ‘olden days’ especially in certain uh… ‘venues’… but it’s something i’ve always used when making backups with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Search is going to be google.com globally⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  2000 is when they started the serp ads. that wasn’t ‘enough’ so they started selling ads on other sites launching adsense in 2003, which fueled their ipo 14 months later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It always seems like its time to move to linux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  shouldn’t need to worry about a windows product key if 10 or 11 was previously activated on the system and no significant changes were made to its internal hardware (like motherboard or nic). activation servers retain activation state and hardware hash, and that state is restored on reinstall. just choose ‘i don’t have a key’ when prompted during install and when windows is back it will automagically reactivate itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i dunno which it cycled through last…

  “party of your lifetime” in my ass

  or

  “the great despair” in my ass.

  both from wf1999 ost

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It always seems like its time to move to linux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  perhaps it only ‘always’ seems to be that way because you haven’t yet done so…

  complete the task so you can change tunes to…

  “why tf didn’t i do this sooner?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  higher prices lead to lower sales volume. yea, that’s normally how it works. but amazon’s cut is based on price. if prices go up, so does what they earnsteal from each marketplace sale–they’ll make more from less business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The sound of Windows 95 about to disappoint you added to Library of Congress significant sound archive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “tada.wav” as the startup sound for win3 was the best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  where ‘both sides’ probably means the maga nutcases and the more extreme farther-to-the-right nutcases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I sue my apartment management company?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  your notice was submitted april third. if they require ‘two months’ notice, the month of april may not ‘count’ towards that.

  thirty days? sounds more like how long it will take to swipe all the data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did movie credits move from the beginning to the end?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  and then there’s a few films like robert rodriguez’ we can be heroes, which has only his studio card at the very beginning and a title card two and a half minutes in. that’s it. no opening theme, no opening credits at all, nothing. just movie. i kinda like it, actually.
