I have tried, and writing my last comment actually brought a lot of repressed rage out. I’ve been too lenient on my friends and family who continue to use things like Facebook and X, because I didn’t want to be that opinionated, ideological snore who won’t shut up about how Facebook is the world’s most prolific purveyor of hate speech, propping up the Trump administration, Israel, LGBT hate groups, the Rohingya genocide, housing discrimination, abortion witch hunts, blah blah blah. But the thing is that these are true things, and people should be appalled enough to never touch a Meta product again, even if it means teaching an elderly family member to learn a new group messaging app.
So I’m back to being a loudmouth bitch who scolds people for using Facebook. And X. But I probably don’t stand a chance with Google.

We wouldn’t need so many damn laws to prevent shitty companies from doing shitty things if we could just become the kind of society that doesn’t support shitty companies. The cookie thing is a great example of how a well–intentioned regulation made the internet an even more irritating place to be.

So ends another fantasy. Thank you for this exceptionally well written bucket of ice water.

Is Finland still a utopia? I used to fantasise about moving there, but lately I’ve been hearing about wage stagnation and cost of living increases that somewhat dent the overall happiness score.

He also said the company is focused on improving the service itself.
Cool afterthought, bro. Something to look into once you’ve dialed in the right amount of “aggressive language”.

Larry sucks at being an 80–year–old billionaire. Just buy cool stuff and chill out.

If it satisfies the payment processors to continue distributing these games so long as they’re not purchased with their service, I feel it should also be fine to list my non–free pornographic games that can only be purchased with BTC or Monero.

Vaya con huevos, amigos. I might not watch the movie, but I’ll probably start quoting it regardless.

Using “eggs” as the punchline to anything is a cheap way to make me smile. I can’t deny it.
- Comment on The biggest voices need to admit Australia is a low-taxing nation before joining the economic reform conversation 4 weeks ago:
Not sure whether it changes anything for you, but I think they’re proposing that each dollar past the 3 million be taxed at 95%. Both the 3 and the 95 being spitball numbers, of course. I’m not confident that 3 million will be worth much at all in 40 years anyway.

My first thought was that odd numbers have soft edges, and even numbers are hard. I didn’t really know why I feel this way, but I always have. Your comment made me realise that geometry might have something to do with it.
What I still don’t fully understand though, is why I attribute personality types to numbers the way I do. Why do I think that 7 is dim–witted, and 2 is arrogant? You don’t have to have an answer. I just think about it sometimes.

I’m not at all superstitious, but so quick to attach sentimental value to things that I would instinctively know that this salt can never be thrown away or used in cooking for the rest of my life. I’d have to get an ornate urn for that salt, and it would become a thing I’d have to lift each time I’m dusting the shelves. Fucking salt.

That’s a heart breaking way to learn your lesson about backups. It must have taken a long time to accept.
- Comment on Bumble's AI icebreakers are mainly breaking EU law 1 month ago:
You’re getting stuck on my failure to read the summary because you thought this was an opportunity to make someone feel stupid online. That fact is that I did read it, and the article, however my brain disregarded the miniscule detail that we’re only talking about the friends part of Bumble because it has no influence on my overall takeaway. Stop being weird.

Authenticity is no less important in platonic friendships.

This doesn’t seem like an important distinction.

It looks like you don’t have a personality yet. Would you like to use AI to generate one for you? Honestly, why are you even trying to date at that point?
- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital 2 months ago:
Here’s how it goes with half the games I mod these days.
- Game not manageable in Vortex out of the box 2. Find the extension that makes the game manageable 3. All popular mods are based on one single mod that acts as a framework or SDK for those other mods 4. That prerequisite mod isn’t well maintained on Nexus, and the author recommends using $otherModManager to manage this game

Problem with VPFs is irrigation throttling, or lack thereof. Most people are cool, but I’ve heard of people hosting exotics which just max out downstream 24/7. Plus everyone has root access which gets abused frequently.
