Catnip.

Well, for some it may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Twitter hasn’t exactly been great prior to the outage.

Yes, but every little effort helps.

Billionares:

Well the issue with Usenet is the following:

• Usenet is quite old
• Usenet is not very well known.
• Usenet has many barriers to entry.
• Usenet groups have garnered an exclusionary reputation.
• Other easier options have existed for a long time for basic social media interaction.

Except for a missed opportunity to push for users to jump ship to a Mastodon instance.

Solution:

No more Private Jets or Yachts.

Transportation Infrastructure Overhaul to transition away from cars and diversify to a set of electric or non-fuel forms of transportation (Lightrail, Train, Electric Busses, Bikes, Lamborfeeties.)

But to do the latter we’d have to go on a major guerilla marketing campaign to undo decades of car company propaganda.

And for the former we’d basically have to perform a miracle.

I see putin is still salty about the “Putin’s gay” edit.

Legit have had conversations with people where they position themselves as superior because they use “the same password” but with an @ instead of an a, or an extra 0 at the end.

Password Managers are really the best solution to using 1 password everywhere without actually putting yourself at risk. 1 password, to unlock the manager, that lets you copy/paste logins.

But nope 99% of all bullshit I experience in my friends and family is “but thats too complicated” or “thats too hard” when its 200% fucking not.

I’m calling them out. These are shit excuses for what their real issue is which is “i don’t wanna change my habits” which is just childish and ignorant.

Even if its easier, even if its safer. If its different, then they don’t want to even try it.

There are some people who will have “always used” a spoon to dig holes, and if you showed them a shovel, they’d complain that it’s too hard or too complex, and go back to using the spoon.

Wal-mart, It’s so dreadful even dogs don’t like it.

Dogs love everything.

Don’t worry, it’s not even bringing the dog happiness.

Republican Party: We hate you, fuck you.

Republican voters: I want those guys!

Social Contract.

Their “test run” was only sending threads posts and not receiving any fediverse posts.

This is them shouting their intent, as far as i’m concerned.

IMO - Racial/Ethnic/National Coding isn’t inherently wrong. But using that coding to push Stereotypes and oppressive mindsets is.

Rule of thumb, if you’re worried you will in some way cross that line, don’t do coding.

China is likely perpetually at the boiling point of a social uprising, but they just have so much power and so strong of a boot that they can keep pushing it down.

But as the saying goes. “They have to be lucky every time, We only have to get lucky once.”

The issue is they want to run rootkits and malware instead of games.

Not sorry. Siege, Fortnite, Valorant, all of these games require kernel level access to Windows to run, and the publishers refuse to support Windows.

The only reason I’d ever play games like this in the past is due to peer pressure from friends to play these shitty games together with a bunch of sweats, cheaters and an overall generally toxic community. Especially Siege.

Social peer pressure goes both ways. And I’ve basically peaced out on any of these games in my friends group. That was enough to end that game for game nights, and as those games fade from our memory. I make sure what little memory of it remains is the true tainted and awful form from which they originated.

If you need a kernel level anti-cheat for your game, and nothing else will protect it. Your game is shit, your development cycle is shit, your company is shit, your community is shit, and why would I ever want to play a shit game with shit people from a shit company that forces devs to work under a shit development cycle?

If you’re in the US and can afford it, Talk to a lawyer.

This is blatant discrimination of a immutable attribute which is a Civil Rights violation.

This is written evidence to that fact.

For a split second I thought this was in the US.

And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone told me this is already Law in the US.

Last dollar.

Claw drops, misses. “You lose”

All out of money.

Sad.

Cat gets up, stretches, yawns. Jumps down the prize hatch and exits.
