nevernevermore

Probably my all-time favourite non fiction title. It made me feel part of something bigger than just thinking of my teenage self as some lowly degenerate trawling zero-day torrent sites.

chinese EV’s give me a headache

No need to assume, you can see this on all of their comment history. They are claiming ownership of their words, or in the context, ownership of how they’ve arranged others words

I’ll go out on a limb here and suggest that most of the FOSS alternatives I’ve discovered in the last 12-18 months have been just as good if not better than paid alternatives. The issue they face mostly is lack of visibility. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I discovered Beat for screenplay writing for the first time.

Anybody have any recommendations for my friends who are too lazy/scared to go down the actual piracy route? Movie-web was my goto

Do you pay for premium? I do and I feel like the experience I have on the platform is leaps and bounds better than what people describe on a free account. I wouldn’t put it past Google to actively make the product worse when you aren’t paying.

Can we just sunset google altogether

yeah i liked him bettter when the extent of his mental process was “everybody must be writing letters at all times, I must help them”

I love when articles use “may” to cover the lack of story lol. I “may” get pizza for dinner, but I also likely won’t. Anything’s possible

I use imginn, nitter and redlib to view Instagram, x and reddit info, respectively. I refuse to engage with any of them using a login or having to turn off my VPN.

Bro there’s like 6 comments in here and all of them are a masterclass in comedy 11/10 would accuse China of misgivings again

I’ve also had a Samsung fridge for 6 years and haven’t had a problem with it. But again, this is anecdotal.

I bought a Samsung washing machine in 2016 and it died in 2020. They sent someone to repair it within a week at no charge. It’s still going now, so I think it worked? Anyways YMMV

What distro do you use for day to day stuff? I’m a Mac user but want to dip my toes into Linux as a VM

Just want to mention Librewolf which is also FF based and has no telemetry out of the box, as well or ublock origin installed by default.

I’ve been shipping South Korea and this article for years

memory hole

sick turn of phrase, i’m stealing that

besides surprise and bemusement

idk this seems like a pretty good reaction to me

pronounced “ten”

Is this real? Is his child whose name is also X pronounced that way? Dude needs to stop naming things that you can’t pronounce by reading them.

also did he bother to change the verb tweet? Or is the brand change as half assed as he is?

I’d prefer IamA’s, instead of AMA’s. Stuff like I am a Ukrainian freedom fighter, I am lawyer that represented a serial killer, I am terminally ill. I wanna know what the people are doing, not what the celebs are doing.

Personally I’m not very interesting, but I know some of yous are. Let’s all chat!
