A text message that reads: Hey [object Object], if you could bring your electric bill down to 0 for the rest of the year with solar, would you want to find out how?

Please, call me Child Object, object Object was my father

This is one of the reasons why I’m overall steadfastly pro-internet for teens, it’s one of the only lifelines for queer and trans teens. It’s one of the only ways to access information, support, and see representation of a brighter future. And there’s a massive bipartisan effort to take it away

Not the Snorlax 😭

😭😭😭

One of my policy ideas is you should be allowed to honk your car horn but you get electrocuted a little when you do. "What if I have a good reason" sorry the policy is the policy

this is a huge deal and a sign of the changing legal tides for big tech. the plaintiffs attorneys here were early adopters of a novel legal strategy that uses product liability law to sidestep tech companies' go-to defense (section 230) and hold them accountable for defective or negligent design

It's important to separate the money you send to the artist from the artist

Biggest legitimate Goomba stack 30 Goombas before new Goombas stop spawning Biggest illegitimate Goomba stack 200 Goombas; 201 Goombas crashes the game Source: YouTube users "BeardBear", "Skelux", youtube.com/watch?v=3NZIESW06Gk, youtube.com/watch?v=MoQNM3VEJ5w

In Super Mario Odyssey, many Goombas can be stacked. The limit for a legitimate Goomba stack is 30, as they will stop spawning afterwards. Manually spawning more Goombas reveals that the limit for an illegitimate Goomba stack is 200. At 201 Goombas, the game crashes.

😳

chunks, huh

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

I definitely have Thoughts about Firefly, but "Mal is kind of a bad person and therefore the show is bad" really feels like just about the weakest possible criticism of it

Orange and white cat doesn't like Twitter

If yu wantu kno my opinyin of twerter it is i donot like it, it is bad, varry bad vibes, manny bad pepples, no i donot care fore it.

“We are a small team without the money to pay artists so as I’m sure you understa-” *bass boosted heavily reverberated wet fart sound*

i liked my job better when i got to explain complex and subtle things about technology and society, not when those things were, like, "insider trading on war crimes is bad"

There are a lot of people who resent the entire concept of subject matter expertise and believe that they, a person who read a breezy overview, know just as much and because they're a Great Thinker, should be trusted over actual experts.

The real problem with modern personal computing is that it doesn't involve enough mysterious liquids. Sure, there's always been thermal paste, and the steadily increasing popularity of water cooling in gaming rigs is a step in the right direction, but I think we can do better.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.

FOSS nerds: the Torment Nexus cannot be ethical until it is Open Source

Doing things the "right" way, burning out and then realizing there is another option, coming back and winning it all with no fucks given? Yes please tell me that story forever.

"Completely useless" is a bar that's hard to clear, but what I will say is I've worked with a lot of programmers who were only just barely competent enough to not be unemployable

I wrote a few words last night. nvie.com/posts/15-yea...

I'm so confused by the apparent appeal of these. Why does anyone want to spend a minute of their life watching someone read a Twitter thread at their phone

the entire genre of short-form video where someone monologues into their phone camera needs to die. not a single one of these has ever been good

github is dedicated to promoting codeberg by no longer being the higher-uptime option. i respect that

Sigh

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.
