Ugh. I hate how right you are.

I’m sorry, are there any different dystopias available other than this one? This one is stupid and I’d like to make an exchange if I can.

I guess you can always make it shittier?

I never understood the appeal of Threads anyway. Like, who leaves Xitter because it’s toxic garbage and goes to something owned by Meta, who practically invented this particular flavor of toxic garbage?

They’re not even hiding the enshittification strategy. They’re practically teaching you the principles up front.

“First we trap you, then we exploit you. Duh.”

Good note. My edit, based on your feedback:

Tom Homan – Stupid, shitty, greedweasel who will sell the country out for self-enrichment

Elon Musk – Stupid, shitty, greedweasel who will sell the country out for self-enrichment

Pete Hegseth – Stupid, shitty, greedweasel who will sell the country out for self-enrichment

Kristi Noem – Stupid, shitty, greedweasel who will sell the country out for self-enrichment

There’s no moral dilemma. It’s just pure moral compromise.

I’m not a vape user, but the model is the kind of thing that just makes me so angry.

In a world that makes sense:

• small, mostly metal vape chassis
• rechargeable, replaceable battery
• built-in glass reservoir with charging valve
• vape juice sold in medium to large recyclable cans with standard interface to the charging valve

In a world where Profit is God (the real world):

• disposable chassis
• disposable battery
• if it’s refillable at all, it’s via non-recyclable, mixed material, mostly plastic, proprietary cartridges and you can save 5% if you subscribe online for refills, 10% if you pay yearly, $5 credit if you refer a friend on social media using hashtag #smoovape
• probably gives you turbo cancer because the juice is made in a repurposed Freon plant that was inadequately converted and they just don’t answer the phone when the FDA or EPA call

Same thing happens with social security numbers!

Check it out, it just shows up as asterisks when I type it.

The only reason I never bought into Boox is their flagrant violation of GPL.

As another owner of the Kobo Libra Colour, I can recommend it for its excellent ergonomics and UI. Plus as a bonus, it has pen support!

Ugh. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Alternative perspective: Buy the most intrusive, ad-subsidized set you can find and disconnect/block it so you get all of the benefit and none of the privacy invasion?

Sorry for sucking!

Ooh, violate my privacy, daddy.

You’re misreading the diagram. It’s showing the volume taken by the food. So assuming a similar density, owls being lower caloric value per gram means the owls would take a greater volume, which the diagram shows.

I was actually thinking of hinging it the other way, having the screens fold to the outside.

As soon as I see a grid mat in a YouTube video I immediately feel 87% more optimistic about the creator’s skills and intention. I feel like I’m about to see some real shit.

Interesting idea. Bezels have been made pretty thin and there have been curved display edges, but I don’t know if anyone’s ever tried a one-side zero-bezel design that you could hinge together. Bezels in the other sides are fine, but could we create a flush edge with no gap to click two screens against each other?
