I remember friends squatting in foreign bought apartments in downtown Vancouver 15 or so years ago. Like, floors of luxury buildings empty because it was all a parking space for cash. I have no idea if this will have a significant effect, b

Because the elderly use it. It's why even on our smart phone the dial pad is the same as it was on a wired phone back in the day.

I am so much a product of this generation, I had forgotten so much of what this article mentions, but damn, this brought it back. I remember doing the exact punting scam, along with my first and only script kiddie DDOS back then (I was mayb

kinda fun is probably a trauma response, I thought I was one of Warhol's Superstars, the images and videos that persist are not things I consented to. What I should have said, was at the time I thought I was having fun, and a lot of th

yeah, I mean, I don't know what the solution is, like I am looking, but, I have no damn idea.

lol, it wasn't shitty, it was weird. there have been maybe 10-20 horrible days in my life. I also got to hang out with every rock star I looked up to, and hang out with almost every celebrity I loved. I have a few left on the list, but

Umm, I honestly didn't have a problem with the sex work I did when I was younger until I was raped by NYPD officer at 17. I started off doing webcam shows, and I don't really have anything bad to say about it. I started prostituti

I probably am not alone, but if I hadn't wasted money on drugs a decade ago and had just kept the bitcoin I would be a rich person. No one I know read a white paper back then, we just found the Wild West, snorted, shot and popped it up

I'm not a fan or opponent of crypto, but the pervasiveness of child pornography is insane. I started doing sex work at 11 and was later human trafficked, and got a tattoo when I turned 18 near my groin, in large part to know what image

This is horribly ironic. I was violently assaulted after writing the original comment, and raped. This time I fought back, I don't understand the universe. The first time I was violently raped it was 2007 and I was 17, it was an NYPD o

I had a john explain ethics to me when I was a 16 year old prostitute. Ethics is doing the right thing with information, whereas morality is doing what you're told. Like, killing a baby is morally wrong, but if you had a time machine i

It worked, another funny story, the last time I had a gun pulled on me it was a very real shot gun, in a very sketchy part of Detroit. My response, "Thank god the first time I had a gun pulled on me in Detroit was by someone Asian, I l

Funny story, well, funny to me anyways. I was living in Paris and dead broke after college. I had a steady cam system to sell, and obviously, I put it on leboncoin and went to deliver it near the Bastille. I went into the apartment with a d

I have more dead friends than living, and I have spent the last several years trying to heal, and mostly succeeding. Sometimes the only thing you can do is cry, and while I'm not a single parent, I have accepted that there are so many

I have pondered buying a Minitel at many a French flea market, this might turn that pondering into purchase, thank you!

This is massively tangential, but stick with me. The book King Kong Theory (King Kong Théorie en francés), has a really interesting chapter about Minitel and how people were using it in the 1980s for prostitution. It's a small part of

I love pair programming but remotely, with only audio. Live share in vscode, and jetbrains has their own version. The one keyboard paradigm is gone and you can work in two parts of the same code base at the same time. It’s not an all the ti

Text pixelization is only useful in highly visible projects where you want people to be engaged to the point they figure out what the text is. Viral marketing, film, etc. this is a great tool, with very few valid applications.
