At least it gives people who are using their switches a chance to buy one, instead of them selling out in seconds to a network of bot accounts before winding up on eBay for $300+ the following week.

It’s not the perfect system, but I can understand why they are doing it.

There have been a few in here, but the real “hear me out”s are Few and far between.

Someone mentioned Hexxus from Fern Gully (a tar monster voiced by Tim Curry), or the Hydra from Hercules.

I still think it holds true that men’s HMOs are conventionally attractive women (Jessica Rabbit, Tinkerbell, Gadget). Women’s HMOs are things like The Brave Little Toaster; the dog monster from The Thing; and the abstract concept of ennui.

the reddit ecosystem relies on engaged users to downvote bad content…

Sounds like the engaged users have decided what the good content is, but it doesn’t align with the opinions of the tech CEO whose dick is tickling the admins tonsils.

Keep going reddit. I’m sure one more form of censorship will make daddy musk love you again.

Is DuckDuckGo still the best alternative at this point, or has Bing been toiling away in the dark to improve itself?

It baffles me how wholly some people are just accepting the complete erosion of the internet. I have lecturers at university, so theoretically educated people, who tell us point blank to plug any questions we have about weekly topics into ChatGPT. The respect I have for these teachers and their content is less than zero at this point.

When I saw the reveal trailer and the joycons were sliding around on their sides I didn’t even recognise that they were implying mouse-mode until people in the comments started losing their minds.

All I could think was “my massive hands are never going to be able to use that joycon as a mouse comfortably”. This patent does not make me feel any more confident that j won’t have constant hand cramps with this thing.

“ They also said they don’t know if browsers such as Firefox are affected because they weren’t tested in the research.”

Seems you should be fine if you follow the usual protocols though: don’t open suspicious links, check urls, that sort of thing. I expect a frantic phone call from my mother-in-law who has an iPhone 8 any minute now…

If you think Elon is being honest about ‘breaking even’, you haven’t been paying attention. Twitter is in the hole, and he’s lying through his fascist little teeth to either save face, or manipulate some sort of upcoming move.

People will remain subscribed because a $2 increase every few months doesn’t feel as bad as a $30 increase in one go.

Frogs in boiling water and all that…

When the Communists have an election-interfering, hate-mongering, billionaire-backed, world-spanning social media company, then we can talk. Right now we are dealing with the Nazis at the gate.

Light as a feather, but no man can hold me for long.

Amazing. I can finally find out exactly what that nurse is yelling about while she gets railed by the local basketball team.
