What a fucking stupid Internet we've ended up with, with vocabulary like "unalive" or "corn", and influencers beeping every controversial word so the censorship machine doesn't stop their "content" fr

Reads like typical right-wing bait from The Telegraph. Hardline posturing, force the PM to make a statement (no he won't agree to pay what's demanded), get the extreme left to be pissed off about the "ongoing racism", an

I fucking hate the Buzzfeed-style one sentence per paragraph writing... Maybe it's also influenced by 140 character limit of Twitter. Fucking Jack Dorsey.

I still remember opening Firefox one day to test something (I primarily use Vivaldi), and since it had recently updated itself, it showed its "what's new" page, with the big words "Thank you for loving Firefox!". Ew

Author unconsciously became someone who misspells "losing" as "loosing". It proves it's not slop though, so I'm grateful. Sorry for the snark. I like the idea of the article. I'm becoming an asshole day-by

Speculation: Ukraine and Taiwan will probably have governments in exile, and the world will recognize them. DNS servers of "Western powers" will keep resolving .ua and .tw domains, while DNS servers in ally countries of China&#x2F

I was in Japan in Spring, I didn't notice any AI-generated ads/menus (not implying you're lying, just curious if it's become a trend since then, or if it's a particular area). But I recall this simple looking promot

In communism, man exploits man. In capitalism, it's the other way around.

Shrugs. Works for me. Sorry YouTube regional-based DRM (presumably) is fucking you. Director's name and documentary title is available, you're going to need to search it for yourself.

I read about a Japanese flying to Indonesia in 1959 (the president of the country was courting her). She flew from Tokyo to Hong Kong, then to Bangkok, then to Singapore before making the last hop to Jakarta.

> Zuckerberg actively wants a monopoly. He's, in my estimation, a sociopath. Fully agree. Facebook apps on Android can/could scan what apps are installed on the phone, and they could see if another social media app's insta

Yeah, I can't stand these influencer-wannabe web-devs misusing terms. béton brut means "raw concrete" in French, and in architecture that's what brutalism is. I'd say only sites that look like they use the default s

My "expert" (/s) conclusion of Zuck is that he's a kid who knew some PHP and got really lucky that a website he made went "viral". He's got billions but is clueless, e.g. blowing a lot of money on animated

Also not an expert, I wonder if there's some rule where a "Go around!" order has precedence over any other activity anyone in the cockpit wishes to perform. As a passenger I had my first go around a few days ago, but we were
