Until you get to Mambino, the boss of bosses!

Weird. It let me in, no problem.

It’s an ad. You were reading an ad.

This is just another ad for AI. Gotta keep that mindshare up!

They do a ton of sketchy shit. I was skeptical, but this article convinced me.

If you need to use a Chromium browser, there are a shit-ton that aren’t Brave. I use Ungoogled Chromium.

The story behind the blink tag is so ridiculous.

At some point in the evening I mentioned that it was sad that Lynx was not going to be able to display many of the HTML extensions that we were proposing, I also pointed out that the only text style that Lynx could exploit given its environment was blinking text. We had a pretty good laugh at the thought of blinking text, and talked about blinking this and that and how absurd the whole thing would be. … Saturday morning rolled around and I headed into the office only to find what else but, blinking text. It was on the screen blinking in all its glory, and in the browser. How could this be, you might ask? It turns out that one of the engineers liked my idea so much that he left the bar sometime past midnight, returned to the office and implemented the blink tag overnight. He was still there in the morning and quite proud of it.

I like the corollary I heard: “An AI can never find out, so an AI should never be allowed to fuck around.”

At which point people will have forgotten about DOGE and have to be reminded.

I don’t understand why the guy is recording.

For “content”.

I don’t get why these random people care.

Because creeps can stalk and harass you online.

What’s the appeal of watching random women at the grocery store?

There’s a video on YouTube of a guy counting to 100,000. That’s it. Simply counting out loud in a droning voice. It has over 33 million views. What’s the appeal of that?

You’re being recorded from his glasses, yes, but you’re also being recorded from like 8 other camera angles with or without him.

Sure, but the store isn’t posting those videos on social media for people to comment on. If they were, they’d probably get sued, and for good reason.

It’s extortion because he was refusing to take the video down unless she paid.

I had the same thing, but it was a matter of finding the right meds.

Bandcamp and/or Navidrome.

Yeah, I’ve seen much longer threads about things much less consequential. People like to argue online. More news at 11.

I still do due diligence.

You said "doo-doo’.

You never heard of a talking horse?

Not sure if you’re kink-shaming or ableist-shaming.

There’s already Latex, and the purists calling it Lateh only make it seem like they know and are ashamed.

It’s always been pronounced “Lah-tek” or “Lay-tek” (not “Lateh”). That’s because it comes from Greek where X makes a K sound.

Oh, cool. I didn’t know about SponsorBlock!

I couldn’t find Lawnchair in F-Droid.

This is like saying “Why exactly is chocolate so popular? Nobody needs to eat chocolate!”

And, of course, you’d be correct while totally missing the point of chocolate.
