  Here’s a 20 year old album about it (it’s really cool that my favorite band is called ISIS. It’s neat how they broke up in 2010 but I still can only wear the merch at home)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think my main problem is how disruptive it is to your focus. With text I can write a semi quick response then get back to what I was doing. Whereas a phone call requires me to drop everything and give a fellow human my full attention in realtime. It tends to drain my already small social battery.

  I hate that the AI slop that copied this style is ruining my ability to enjoy the original

  So much space for activities!

  These comments are like a treasure trove.

  I didn’t see anyone mention Kodi as an alternative to smart TVs. It’s better in every way than the Apple TV I won from a raffle at work. The best part is that my TV box is just a computer so I can use it to host other services too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My parents are those college educated conservatives and their mental gymnastics are Olympic level. They also donate to charities and do volunteer work like meals on wheels. They don’t make any sense to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 25-Year-Old Is Writing Backdoors Into The Treasury’s $6 Trillion Payment System. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked as a developer in electronic payments for 5 years and we had to go through a months long process to certify the code with the financial system. My bosses were paranoid of any changes I made (to a silly degree) and we had a silly amount of automated tests.

  We were a small startup with an underpaid staff and I’m not sure if more than 1000 people used our software. What they’re doing is completely reckless.

  It also doesn’t help that spellings started to standardize at the same time the great vowel shift was happening

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosted alternative to google keep/onenote/evernote/goodnotes?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just using a self hosted git repo with markdown files. I was having trouble finding something open source that I could edit with vim that also had a good mobile solution. I also didn’t want to get locked into a file format that was specific to an app.

  Markdown is ubiquitous and I use git all the time as a developer so it was easier to tack something onto an existing workflow. It’s a little janky but at least I won’t be screwed by devs abandoning whatever app I was using.

  Oddly enough croak is likely also onomatopoeia (imitative)
