I think JJJ would’ve paid Peter more if he arranged for pictures that made Spider-Man look more creepy and morally questionable. JJJ probably feels suspicious of all those “heroic” angles.

professional catfishing has always been a thing.
using AI to do it was inevitable, but i do wonder if it’ll backfire.
chatbots are so pathetically unreliable.

Honestly though the harder they underestimate us the more likely we are to be victorious in conflict. You’re right: the element of surprise is priceless.

They never imagine that the people they want to steal from will fight back.
They never imagine that their carcasses can be fed to the commune’s hog pits.

They think we’re nothing but effete city-slicker softbois with no upper body strength in skinny jeans and man-buns who don’t know how to distill our own drinking water, grow our own food, generate our own electricity, or operate a firearm.

EVs have no gears GOOD THING THESE AREN’T GEARS THEN, FUCKO THEY’RE MODE SELECTIONS
EVs do, in fact, Park.
EVs can, in fact, Reverse. EVs must, in fact, need to be capable of rolling free (Neutral) and it would be BETTER if you could do that by disconnecting the drive train to eliminate the risk of the “regenerative braking” system overloading its electrical system and making the battery explode. EVs furthermore OBVIOUSLY Drive.“Low” in the traditional sense is clearly not necessary, obviously, but it could be nice to have a mode selection for what people have sometimes described as “single pedal driving” where regeneration is configured so aggressively that letting up on the accelerator pedal will cause the car to decelerate rapidly without the need to touch the brake pedal.

- Comment on In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows. 3 weeks ago:
Windows 11 seemed to kick and scream relentlessly to make coexisting impossible. So I called its bluff and nuked its stupid ass. It refuses to play nice? OK; It never gets to play again. Fuck windows. I have a separate machine for windows if I really need it.

every passing day i feel increasingly gratified to have switched my previously win11 laptop to linux mint. aside from the sheer principle of microsoft being ass, i also fucking despise all of windows’ AI bullshit. Fuck copilot for eternity.
- Comment on Skill issue 3 weeks ago:
This is part of why confidence is attractive.
It isn’t that confident humans of the male reproductive caste treat women more flippantly; it’s that actual competency correlates with not being as much of an insufferable whiny piece of shit.

They will be indispensable for documenting, for historians, what it was like when the United States still had law.

- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 1 month ago:
Well, that’s the thing, they encode the data of the security chip such that it’s a type of “media” whose “content” unlocks the functionality and copying the written media content is how they legally frame it as a tortuously stretched “violation of copyright”
- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 1 month ago:
they’ll make smaller shittier batteries that die more quickly so that they can charge more to replace them and put proprietary control chips inside them so either third party manufacturers of better batteries will have to “violate copyright” in order to make them work or YOU’LL be required to “violate copyright” to make them work, thus locking most people without the technical skills to circumvent the ‘security’ into only buying the shitty ‘official’ batteries until MORE regulation comes along to make them cut that shit out. In the mean time they’ll be blaming the regulations for the shittiness they adopted.

- Comment on How to get people to use Mastodon? 1 month ago:
When I told my best friend about mastodon, it misimprinted on her brain in a flash as “walrus chat” and now she can’t for the life of her remember its actual name.
- Comment on How to get people to use Mastodon? 1 month ago:
yes, that’s what boosting is on mastodon. see how ineffectual their ‘boosting’ nomenclature is? that’s why they should be renamed.
- Comment on How to get people to use Mastodon? 1 month ago:
also rebrand it from Mastodon to Trunky.
- Trochaic meter is more addictive: 2 syllables with accent on the first. just like YOU-tube, FACE-book, GOO-gle, TWIT-ter, etc. it’s part of why TEEN-age MU-tant NIN-ja TUR-tles and MIGH-ty MOR-phin POW-er RAN-gers was popular.
- Trunky is full of bright bouncy sounds that pop, the T and the K both hit nice, the R is exciting and powerful, the y ends it on a high timbre, it’s cute.
- A mastodon is an extinct lumbering beast from the ice age which is the antithesis of anything trying to break out as a hot new service. But this would allow the service to keep its pachyderm branding.
- Change “favorite” to “trumpet” (as in trumpeting praise), again it’s trochaic (TRUM-pet) and carries less cognitive LOAD than “favoriting” which feels heavy and committed. Just because you LIKE something doesn’t mean it’s your FAVORITE thing you know? this would decrease the friction of interaction (which is GOOD).
- keep tooting as the analogue for tweeting, rename boosting to re-tooting for brand consistency, and add a bookmarking function called “Remembering” (because ELEPHANTS NEVER FORGET, right? :D)
