  Blaming remote work, the avacado toast of 2023.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What were some movies you had to look up explanations of after watching?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t remember being confused. But it was definitely one of those movies where I had to sit for 15 minutes after the credits rolled and really process the emotional impact.

  It’s almond juice. There’s only one kind of milk, and that’s moo cow fuck milk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox will have a built-in ‘fake reviews detector’ — Amazon is in trouble⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. This is well outside the scope of native browser functions. Firefox already has a rich extensions ecosystem. They can just include the extension with the browser by default for all I care, but as a native feature, this makes no sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They tried⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Road to hell, good intentions and all that. Government fundamentally misunderstanding the role of cookies and the fact that browsers can handle user privacy with trivial effort by default rather than having every single website annoy the fuck out of you with a million goddamn notifications before actually showing you what you want to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this even legal?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If governments actually gave a fuck about antitrust anymore, it would be. 20-ish years ago, they dragged Microsoft to court over simply bundling IE with Windows. It didn’t even constantly nag you to set as default; just the fact that it was bundled at all was enough to make it into the sights of regulators.

  Corrected headline: boomers voted in austerity assholes and now their kids have to pay for it with their money

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, they should have said “fuck you, no tools whatsoever to remove the battery.”

  My mid-2010’s phone has this and probably the only reason I still have it (instead of contributing to electronic waste) is because I can replace the battery so easily, which I’ve done at least twice.

  lol same

  My brain did a double take, I thought I read “slapped with suspension bridge” … must’ve hurt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Turns out that technology is NOT harmful to kids⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “Technology” as a concept? Of course not.

  Algorithmically curated, corporate sponsored content promotion and echo chambers? Absolutely.

  Personally, I think RED was his best series.

  I’m with you here. I’m beyond tired of immediate branding of people as wholely disregardable because they have some unsavoury opinions. People can simultaneously hold good and bad opinions. You’re not a bad person for agreeing with an idea held by someone you mostly disagree with.

  Tom Cruise is a culty weirdo, but he’s also a phenomenal actor, so we like his movies. In all likelihood, Hitler enjoyed sandwiches, but that doesn’t mean sandwiches are bad.

  Follow ideas for their own sake. The idea that Hollywood pumps out a lot of garbage is correct and agreeable no matter who says it.

  Save the Cat! formula

  Huh. I’ve never heard of this before. I played through The Matrix in my head while reading a Save The Cat guide and it’s strikingly accurate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shazam’ Star Zachary Levi Calls Out Hollywood For Output Of “Garbage” Content⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe we just need to let Hollywood do the AI thing for a while so people can see how creatively bankrupt the execs are.

  I don’t think this will end like you think it will. Last time we had a writer’s strike, we got reality “reality” TV, a cursed genre that continues to grow more popular and more vapid than ever.

  By all means, continue being part of the problem.

  Sounds fair to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here we go again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does it need to be native? There are numerous extensions that do this. That’s half the point of Firefox, it’s so extensible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here we go again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Fox Fire thingy

  Oh god, I’m having Vietnam flashbacks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here we go again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know, but who cares? What does anyone have against Firefox? It’s fast, has a massive extensions library, open source, secure, private … there’s literally no reason whatsoever not to use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slack Vs Microsoft Teams — Which App Is Better For Your Privacy & Security? [Mozilla Foundation]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Obviously still a Microsoft problem, but important to note

  You’d think Microsoft software would work optimally on a Microsoft operating system, but, quite often, it operates in the shittiest, kludgiest ways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slack Vs Microsoft Teams — Which App Is Better For Your Privacy & Security? [Mozilla Foundation]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I had the displeasure of managing Teams for an IT client of mine, and to say it’s a clusterfuck is putting it charitably.

  It is almost impossible to change the user. A basic, rudimentary function that should be a simple matter of signing out and signing back in. Nope, doesn’t work. You babe to reinstall Teams to get that working.

  Oh, and reinstalling is an ordeal itself. That usually doesn’t work, either. You have to manually delete the installation directory and app data cache, and for whatever dumbshit reason, it doesn’t install to program files, it installs to some obscure directory in the user profile.

  God help you if you rename a user. It retains the old user details until you sign out.

  Trying to share a link to join a team never works.

  These are just off the top of my head and I don’t want to continue because it’s stressing me out.

  Fuck Teams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's Web DRM is Worse than I Thought...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It is. Anyone who cares is powerless to change it. Anyone with the power to change it doesn’t care. That goes for a lot of things.
