This is true, but there's an extra nuance: mogging isn't just dominance, but effortless dominance (or at least seemingly effortless). Incels use this to justify their aversion to putting effort of any sort into anything: if other

Excessive ChatGPT usage is cringe, yes, but I feel like this may be taking things just a little on the far side.

Yeah, after the appropriate layers of VPN/Incognito/Tor/muted phone/etc I braved the link, and it turns out it's actually real, but that is still not a hostname I want connected to me in anyone's access logs mo

Yes, we already know techbros are trying to normalize workaholism within the general populace.

Humanity is having to learn all over again that you cannot expect good results from people who do not understand the work that they are doing. But instead of expecting these things from people, now we're expecting it from next-token pr

In this case I'd say it's more like 99/1, only even more so, to the point where using numbers doesn't even make sense. Spies are way more trouble than they're worth, except when they're not. But when they are n

Mostly the same places they always did. Inertia is strong like that. Most of them miss a simpler time, just like you do, but hey, so it goes.

This is true as far as it goes, and yet, there are people in this world who will not grow up and function except in the face of overwhelming social pressure. They will not be taught, nor learn on their own -they must be broken- and if they

True, but honestly, with so many people clearly after him, I'm not sure we can assume any of them got him. His psyche had clearly been cracking for many weeks now: I got as much sadistic pleasure as anyone else out of watching him bas

What a waste. May none mourn this creature's passing, but his particular case represented too many valuable opportunities for him to be allowed to die before trial. Whoever allowed enough of a lapse in his suicide watch that the concep

When it comes down to it, nothing ever entitles you to face time. You put stuff out and hope for the best, but it's always a risk. Nothing is guaranteed.

Give the TLD to an NGO trust fund benefiting the peoples of the Amazon river basin, funded by a 99-year lease on the TLD paid by Amazon. Any problems with this arrangement?

Welp, that explains it. I stand corrected. Thanks.

I didn't propose replacing the GPIO, or the camera port, or the other display port. I'm talking specifically about the other ports around the sides of the device, which are already used for more traditional computer-y things. Of c

If a Pi is capable of this already, why not replace the Ethernet, charging, micro-HDMI, and USB ports with a boatload of type-C Thunderbolt ports (plus support for the HDMI 1.4 alt mode)? Would 8xUSB-C cost that much more than 1xUSB-C+1xEth

This makes sense to a certain degree, but "just ignoring it" only goes so far: even seeing it is corrosive to a certain extent, and by the time you've even registered it enough to ignore it, a lot of the damage is done. Perfe

I really wish I could stop seeing this everywhere I went. I get that there are people who need this kind of advice, but for someone like me, this advice is poison. For everyone who needs to be carefully and constantly reminded that you can&

Not too shabby. - Performance is great. I'm already using it pretty much everywhere. - Ad blocking is about to become Firefox's killer app, and it was a major PR mistake to release a preview without enough extension support for ad

To some extent that's a matter of perspective and context. Keeping a Great Dane or even a Border Collie in a small apartment is a very different thing from keeping a Chihuahua in one.

Good luck to them, assuming they stick to their principles. But IIRC, experiments with paid browsers have typically not ended well. What makes them think they can pull it off?

As long as all of the source is available under FOSS licenses, yes. Free as in speech, not free as in beer, remember? Question is, will Mozilla actually stick to that? What the paid features also be open-source, at least to whatever extent

Looks like they're partnering with the makers of Axe to do this. Which seems strange to me, because they've had an XBox-themed fragrance out for years now. It's called Axe.

Good. This will make an excellent test of the ability of Mastodon servers and users to ostracize malicious actors, and a solid driver for new features in this area of development.

In a society that does not put enough pressure on people to grow up and function, it is tempting to look at this as a possible solution. Coupling it to government power, though, is an outright horror. Any social credit system needs to be ru

Not much to explain. Many moons ago, SomethingAwful was founded by a bunch of people that nobody wanted around. Some years later, 4chan was founded by a bunch of people that even nobody at SomethingAwful wanted around. Some years after that

Because the condemnation of Sharia law was co-opted, and subsequently ruined for everybody, by the genocidal maniacs.
