On the other hand, I’m a mod for /r/GameCubeHacks and it’s great because I have access to all the piracy links the other mods remove. 🤙

That’s the company who made the pagers that Israel turned into bombs in Lebanon and Syria to target Hezbollah. Which also killed and injured other folks like children.

I used to run a popular mod that made an indie beta game even more popular. Guess who almost all of the final testers were before release? My whole team. We were clearly the most devoted people to the game and knew best how to break it. It was nice to get a head-start on our new mod (which we pivoted to be the equivalent of Steam Workshop or an app store before those existed). Of course, the creator became a dickwad years later and we all ended the mod and the game is dead.

I saw IDE cables referred to as PATA cables in a YouTube video earlier today. “Huh, I don’t remember calling them that.” Luckily right after that they clarified that’s a more recent name for them. Still felt old.

Pretty sure the old fuckers in the legislature aren’t writing that into the contracts. If you ask them what browser they’re using they’ll probably say “internet.”

I hid this post then immediately unhid it for a closer look. Digital double-take.

I got a Bluetooth tape adapter. Had to try a few because some are real ass.

Temporary monopolies are the governments reward to encourage new works of art and inventions. The trade off is that it’s temporary. By extending copyrights indefinitely it actually discourages new works to be created because they’re competing with more creations than ever, and nothing can be built as a derivative work. Trademarks, which Disney still owns, are protected basically indefinitely.

When I went to my first rodeo they had a long delay because the bull refused to exit the arena. I had to say to strangers, “This is literally my first rodeo, is this normal?” Got a lot of laughs. It is apparently not normal.

I (male) had a pair of dress shoes that sounded a bit like high heels. You notice a lot of dudes turn their heads (or try to be more sneaky about looking) when your shoes make that noise. They were not stoked to see me instead.

Come on. People of nursing age have had a literal lifetime of new sex science. There really is no excuse except for an unwillingness to learn.

Aren’t all reddit comments under CC?

Also using Sync. The thing is, I’m sick and tired of being told how I should need to interact with something. This isn’t an argument against FOSS at all btw. I also pay a non-FOSS one-man-shop for my RSS reader.

My main thing is I want to bend the web to my preferences instead of the other way around. If devs like this are going out of their way to do that I’m going to make it worth their while.

Shit, I even pay the guy who keeps the Chumby servers alive. Just so I can have a flash-baswd Star Trek themed clock face active on my nightstand.

Your comment implied that folks need to pay $100 to use the app. Only $20 lets a user disable ads and any tracking associated. Otherwise if someone wants to try it or just doesn’t feel like paying they can use it for free with the potential to get a Google ad in their scroll.

Yeah, but it’s a really weird libertarian thing where everybody feels like they’re an expert in their field and also everyone else’s. It’s a lot more fun to have in my RSS feeds since I realized that.

Had the System UI crash this morning after updating. No problems since, however.
