It’s reached a point where the government is pushing for websites to card you before you can enter.
Women apps were giving data so the government can arrest women for abortion-like behavior.
We’re already at the point where privacy/anonymity is the only way to visit the internet.

That’s how classic Reddit was for me.
Mods who are extremely rigid to the rules had to exist when the spammers went crazy. But with smaller communities, modding should be based on vibes. You get better conversations that way.

Honestly that sounds great. I’m kind of annoyed how often NordVPN keeps emailing me and trying to upsell me on the daily.
The service is fine overall. But the nonstop promotion, along with it being a US company that can easily just give all their info to the US government, makes me wanting to switch pronto.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 4 days ago:
Chromebooks went from “What is that?” To literally everywhere in schools.
Android phones are everywhere.
Google and the Chrome browser really ate into Microsoft’s dominance.

My business partner sometimes says some shit that while true, really stabs me in the heart.
His most recent one, “Ugh, there’s too many parents with sickly kids here. Let’s go to the VIP room.” (At the airport)
Like, I’m one of those sickly kids.

If that money funnels to unemployed engineers to set it up… I’m all for it.
Take the money, do the work, jump ship.

Android users won’t have a choice after a while.
I didn’t want Google Now. Uninstalled it, and it’s back and updated. Been fighting for years.

Yeah only reason Apple hasn’t done it is because they haven’t figured out a way to connect it all to its ecosystem.
Like they say, the Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
- Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 1 week ago:
I work in tech and I hate it when non-security people talk about it.
It’s really painful to read about “a new hack that can affect billions of accounts” from a source, only to learn its some new social phishing method.

Cameras. They fucking hate body cameras. When it clears them of wrongdoing, they have the video ready. When they ‘accidentally’ shoot a guy nine times in the back of the head, video seems to be missing.

When Amazon bought Whole Foods, I had hoped they’d lower prices to a more reasonable level.
Nope. Still $8 for a $3 product.

- Comment on Me after Komi can't communicate 2 weeks ago:
I watched all of Undead Unluck. There’s just something about it that kept it at mid. Maybe because the male protag is so… shallow? Or maybe the lore never hit me?
When I explain the concept and read the wiki, it sounds awesome. Which is a shame, because it feels like it could have been a great series.
- Comment on Me after Komi can't communicate 2 weeks ago:
I came for the cooking. I stuck for the dungeon lore. I stayed because every character is a goofball.
