  i really don’t want anything that further obfuscates the experience of me typing in a word and it showing me pages with that word. and i don’t know why i’d want to type a full ass sentence in natural english versus just keywords

  rich, high-intent product conversations

  these people make me so fucking sick i cannot

  i cannot believe this site i spent so many sad years posting on in high school, with pure heart, posting purely out of a desire for interesting interactions and the potential to make insightful, peer-reviewed contributions that others could enjoy, has turned into such fucking dead-eyed garbage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pre-IPO Reddit lets ads be dressed up as promoted user posts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  even lemmy has astroturfing. i guarantee reddit’s push to tighten API usage etc was partially to ensure only paid / approved astroturfing was possible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i started using tree style tabs which was absolutely life changing. best computer memory i’ve had in years, it’s a far more logical and space-friendly way to keep lots of tabs open and still be able to read the titles. i feel like specifically grouping adds too much overhead - i have to think about which group to put each into, and think (even a little bit) about where to find it later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit wants to raise $748M with IPO, sets value at $6.4B⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  the way they took away awards, even old awards, was so fucking stupid and demeaning to the site as a whole. i don’t see anyone using awards at all anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨literally me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i really hate that shit where they intentionally cut the movie in a really shitty annoying confusing way just to make the story ostensibly more cOmPleX rather than just writing something good and relying on its strength like a normal good film

  the prestige really pissed me off

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Passkeys might really kill passwords⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s objectively a downgrade to have to get my phone out just to sign into youtube. i broke my phone screen and couldn’t sign into my damn bank until i got it fixed because they making me verify with a text. bullshit world these days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NYC fails controversial remote learning snow day ‘test,’ public schools chancellor says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  whoever thinks this is a good idea really shouldn’t be working in education. objectively worse than the grinch. christmas is still christmas but there’s nothing like the feeling of getting a surprise day off AND a beautiful snowstorm

  no-snow-day policy

  why are people like this? surely teachers and admin appreciate the day off too? even if you have to add an extra day, getting out of bed for school sucks way less in the summer. my district prided itself on trying to call as few snow days as possible for some insane reason, even when plenty of other schools would be off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Prime Video drops Dolby Vision and Atmos unless you pay extra⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  no one wants exclusive content, it’s inherently harder to generate a buzz and make the series feel worthwhile or pressing to watch

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Prime Video drops Dolby Vision and Atmos unless you pay extra⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it has the worst UX in the world where you search for a film, see they have it, then see you have to subscribe to some other shitty service to watch

  i love how it gets shittier every day yet is still the main place where news and noteworthy banter happens

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your honor this is bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  people would hate the courts less if they’d just talk like human being rather than cloak everything in this bullshit cold legalese which makes everyone sound as stark and removed as possible. if someone’s life is at stake, fucking talk like it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I lost my job after AI recruitment tool assessed my body language, says make-up artist⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing that seems unfair to me is the number of people that are expected to care about jobs they don’t care about. You should be allowed to say, look, I’m fulfilling my contract; you can’t put in the contract ‘also you have to seem like you give a shit’. I think that’s expecting too much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  pretty sure the benefits people feel are simply from a) being hornier and b) positive self-reinforcement for setting a goal and sticking to it

  if we weren’t meant to jerk off why does it feel good

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube now suggests new content *by colour*⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  this is beyond jumping the shark, this is a whole new category of stupid

  it’s worse than musk-esque stupidity, because clearly there’s thought and research behind this, it’s all just incredibly cynical and demeaning to the human race

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i remember in high school (2010s) i tried using RSS but increasingly the feed wouldn’t even have the article, just the title and the link so you’d have to visit their website. especially obnoxious because my obnoxious school district filtered approx 90% of the internet (for shocking reasons like ‘forums’ or ‘TV/entertainment’ or ‘sports’ or ‘media’)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Search is losing its 'cached' web page feature⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ostensibly it takes a lot of space to cache that much data, but seeing as they own youtube this should be nothing in comparison
