advertising technology in the 1990s: look at this “website” you can “surf”. it has an image of a cat on it
advertising technology in the 2020s: you must adopt this now or die. we are going to completely kill you if you don’t download this app immediately
A CRT computer screen stands against a dark background. Through its screen, past various popups and error messages, a set of enormous human teeth can be seen. They do not appear to be on the screen, but somehow behind.

I haven’t had the time to do a proper deep dive into resolving it tbh. It’s on a spare laptop I wanted to use as a home server and thought I’d also try out mint. I did like it a lot when it was working though. Will do a full fix in the next few weeks I’d say
How on earth is this sort of thing legal? This is simply a slum. It's ironic because I believe houses such as this were used as such from the early 1800s to mid 20th century. This is just neo-colonialism.
I was enjoying Linux mint until it randomly decided to uninstall its own internet drivers and I haven’t been able to reinstall them since. Definitely still has its “quirks”.
Daisy Ridley’s Instagram Story: “The death sentences of 12,000 Palestinian prisoners have been approved. 4,000 of them are children. For wanting to live in their homeland and for defending their occupied territories, a total of 400,000 Palestinians have been martyred over the past 78 years. Now, 12,000 more people will be executed in full view of the world. The executions will take place within 90 days. Please don't be silent. If humanity doesn't rise up today, when will it? If we don't show our humanity today, when will we? Please don't stay silent. Share. Oppose these executions...”

BLUESKY IS A WEBSITE THAT TURNS (post by jay.bsky.team claiming that bluesky is made with AI) INTO (picture of bluesky not working)
NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty.
"People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.”

They are talking about the UK, but look where Ireland is!! 🙄⬇️
"Someone tried to strangle Sneako", "Clavicular just had a drug overdose", I refuse to believe that understanding any of these headlines is better for me than chain-smoking
Penny better be in beyond the spiderverse
Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.
Who remembers this game?
a digital illustration in the style of a relief print depicting a black cat in a defensive pose holding a torn and tattered transgender pride flag in its mouth as it looks directly towards the viewer. the background is purple with some specks of blue and pink showing through, and behind the cat is a black midground resembling grass or flames. the top right corner features a box with a caption reading "T.D.O.V."

FBI agent Denise played by David Duchovny and Dale Cooper, played by Kyle Maclachlan, Twin Peaks 1990
David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.
Greta Thunberg: "The President of the United States just said that a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again & no one is reacting. This speaks for itself: what the fuck is anyone even doing at this point? We have normalized genocide, total annihilation of entire people."
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
In the grips of Pokopia, 30 hours in and I need more. Need to find and house those FREAKS
Mustafa Barghouti: "The passing of this criminal law.. & the way they celebrated the passing of this law.. shows you one thing. Israel has moved so far in the direction of fascism. This is a fascist govt and these are fascist ministers & this is a fascist establishment"
Always this
A tweet from @ eliyudin that reads: Being an old-timey doctor would rule, just drunk as hell like "yeah u got ghosts in your blood, you should do cocaine about it"
a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.
a world without trans people has never existed and never will
Kanye West being booked to headline Wireless Fest on all three nights feels like a major and utterly grim cultural shift. Ten years ago, a huge artist who recorded and released a tune called “Heil H*tler” would have gone to the wilderness and stayed there. But he has been welcomed back in through the front door. And this is on the heads of the festival organisers, each of whom should be publicly grilled about this choice. Indulgence of anti-Semitism is one of the early warning signs of the return of old horrors, and it doesn’t get more indulgent than this.
“Sex testing has switched from genitals to genes to testosterone levels, and now back to genes. While the stated goal for these policies was to uncover males pretending to be female, they have never found any. Instead, they identified and excluded intersex women.”
Sex testing in sport harms women.
Why is a random spinoff better than the mainline games? Make it make sense
Played 2 hrs of pokopia on my bfs switch 2 and now I need one. It lives in my brain.
Irony was killed stone dead ages ago. But I suppose they can still piss on its grave.
