Butthole detects proximity to safe toilet.

AI: “This is definitely a fake review because I wrote it.”

Mozilla’s not going to undermine the thing that’s going to drive the largest adoption of Firefox in years.

I was expecting something a little deeper or more subtle than what I got.

That’s the problem when these things gain reputations. The reputation builds it up to be more than the piece of art can deliver.

Now imagine playing it when it was new and you weren’t “expecting” anything but a military shooter. It would still be just as blunt, but it landed back then far more effectively than when you go in knowing the reputation the game has built in the many years that followed.

Capitalism: “No.”

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for any sort of epic crash.

I expect that home ownership is going to become solely for the upper-middle class and up, and that home prices won’t make any serious downward movement.

I expect the housing crisis will eventually start to ease as areas become more accepting of high-density housing development, and that will become the sole province of people with finances beneath the home ownership class.

Essentially, the establishment of a much more distinct and explicit two-tier system. Prices in one will have minimal impact on the other, much like how any swing in prices for small passenger boats has no impact on the price of yachts.

Everything I own, except the burial plot. I bought that for death.

Bidet standing up. Making it brown rain.

How has it been like 20 years since Slashdot was relevant, and we’re still getting the same, “LOL install Linux instead” comments?

Like, I’ve been using and loving Linux since the late '90. But damn, I’m expecting to see “Micro$oft” in these comments any moment.

Put a large collection of albums into your “Library”.

Now try to pull up a list of a single artist’s albums within your Library.

The “Library” management is so remedial that it’s basically a joke. It can’t measure up to iTunes from 20 years ago. It’s completely unusable for a serious music collection.

It may be fine for people that just listen to singles and playlists, but every other music service can do that too, while also offering complete functionality elsewhere.

YouTube Music is a half-baked, half-complete product. It’s inexplicable that it exists when they literally just needed to do nothing but rebrand Google Play Music.

You can just click Follow and start following someone. You don’t have to perform a copy-paste dance to bring the username back to your instance and do the following there.

It’s ridiculous how much Mastodon advocates downplay this.

I strongly prefer Mastodon over the alternatives, but the onboarding experience is BAD for the average user.

YouTube Music is the enshitttified version of Google Play Music.

There’s a reason it’s called “bodybuilding” and not “brainbuilding”.

At some point it will be too obvious. Instead of making it too big, have it scale back down, then back up, etc.

I like to bind. I like to be bound.

If the cop is a cute girl, then it becomes context-dependent.

I’m 95% a PC gamer, but if I was a broke college student, a Series S plus Game Pass would keep me busy all the way through school.

Another version, with a discount for owners of the original games.

Of course, OpenLara is free…

Apple Maps + CarPlay is so much better than Google Maps + Android Auto that the latter is embarrassing.

I say this as someone that has owned Android phones since the very beginning (HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1).
