My only regret is that I have… boneitis.

Feel this one in my bones.

Slow, buggy, annoying interface, hogs extreme amounts of resources locally, can be used to spy on its users.

What’s not to like? It’s basically how Elon envisions X, an “everything app” that is actually good at nothing specific.

Get your hand off my penis!

Our national tv channel is lawfully barred from running commercials.

They just changed the definition of ads they run to “messages of commercial importance” or some dumb shit like that. And just like that, ads on the national channel are suddenly a-ok

I don’t want to live on a planet where these are the kind of people who decide, well, everything.

Doesn’t look like I’ll have much choice though.

Spite is a strong motivator.

More specifically, my life.

Been trying to meditate unsuccessfully for years now. At this point the frustration of always failing isn’t even worth trying anymore but I still do in the vain hopes that “one day it will finally click”. I mean, that’s easier to accept than the more probable possibility that I’m just a fundamentally broken human who can’t even get basic functioning right.

Google project Pluto. It was only marginally less crazy than project Sundial.

Meh, I prefer SLAM instead. What’s the fun in building a superweapon if you can never use it?

It’s more like all pretense is gone now. Before, there was this veneer of legitimacy. Now, it’s straight up fascism. It’s a matter of image projection.

That’s the way we got one of ours back in the day. I was on an evening walk with my then-gf, we came across a very friendly kitty, gave her some pets, and went on to go home. She followed, entered the house, went right to the litter box, did her thing, and promptly decided she’d live there for the rest of her life. Fucking cats man. Love 'em to death.

I used to run VM’s in parallel for my job, which eat RAM like candy. Other than that though, I’ve never had a use case for more than 32GB RAM.

You’re not far off the mark. One tomcat I had once brought with him a new cat, a girl I hadn’t seen before. He shared his food with her and now she lives here as well.

Pretty much for form I suppose, there are other ways to get those drivers.

I’ve been in a few online games with RU players and it struck me as so weird to be playing a game with someone from a nation we are basically at war with. Major WWI Xmas football vibes.

Pretty telling when the only way you can get your users to “upgrade” is by stealth. I wonder what the % of involuntarily upgraded win11 users is vs people who knowingly and willingly did so.

It’s called a honeypot. They even ran CP servers in the past (after taking them over from the actual admins, in order to unmask the users).

I get it, I really do. And come time to say final goodbyes, the pain is almost unbearable. But man, waking up to finding out you’re in the middle of a furry sleepstack with warm, fuzzy friends who purr and cozily nuzzle up to you on a cold winter’s night is something else entirely. Wouldn’t want to miss it for anything.

Oh, and kids are allright, I guess.

True, but that power is also diminished greatly as more and more regular users abandon the site. No eyes on the propaganda makes it worth a lot less.
