Moneybags over here affording one beer at a bar in 2024.

Reminds me of this but it might be the artist’s version of jersey devil or the chupacabra.

In godot engine you can put an underscore at the beginning of a variable to tell the linter to calm the hell down about it. But I don’t see why it’s such a crisis in the first place.

Yeah it’s called Temu. You’ll get them in your email and SMS inboxes too.

I don’t get how someone can worry about this when they’re in a relationship. There’s clearly nothing that wrong with them if they have living proof of the opposite standing right there.

Reminder that your google account has a name which is not just your email address. If you don’t use google’s other services besides gmail and youtube, you probably don’t remember what it is. And you probably put in something stupid if not completely offensive. If you suddenly have to use google docs or something, people will see it.

I finally have a reason to share this wikipedia article which contains the phrase “sire of dark ronald”

Internet user discovers what an opinion is.

The idea of this being drawn on paper is way more chilling than it being made on a computer for some reason.

Oh you think a particular business practice is shitty? You know companies aren’t charities right?

Me when I post on an obscure video games message board 13 hours per day for 10 years and there are still people who don’t know gaming is beneath me.

I thought they had to skip 9chan due to the way old software checks chan versions.

That thing’s not coming to help us. It’s just us, the jeans, and god as our witness.

You just have to let these things burn themselves out like an oil fire.

I’m pretty sure Tim Hortons has had access to AI menu changes for years now. It would explain a lot.

They can be interesting for a little while but the artists never seem to be thinking about the people who will have to see it every single day, they only think about themselves and the statement they want to make. It’s completely egotistical and creates an environment that feels the opposite of welcoming and inclusive.

It’s a cool idea and I was using it every day for a while. I love the gemtext format and I even made some “gempub” ebooks for fun. I have a site on flounder.online with some crap on it. Two things brought it all down for me.

The first is the hard TLS requirement. I’ve read all the rationales about this and still don’t see the point. I get the principle behind it but it’s not worth requiring that much infrastructure. It sucks all the fun and accessibility out of it. Which is my other issue.

We all know a platform can’t be TOO accessible without becoming like twitter. But if accessibility is too low you’ll end up with nothing but upper class tech workers moaning about the bougie problems that they created for themselves. The only capsules that had anything decent on them had HTTP proxies. It didn’t feel like a platform worth contributing to for someone like me.

I’ve heard about the Spartan protocol which is similar but has no TLS requirement. I’ve been planning on getting into that but all I’ve done is read about it.

How is this notable or interesting then? I thought we were all just accepting that malicious software is an inherent part of all open platforms.

My mom pretty much had an existential crisis over this when she made a friend at work and her husband turned out to be Trump supporter. And this is in Canada. It makes you wonder where girls like that even find guys like that.
