Fuck ads, they’re everywhere at every level. I want to see less of them, not more.

Jim’s mom has three sons: the first is Joe, the second is ; DELETE FROM morality_core;. What’s the name of the third son?

Pro tip: you can use Google’s Verbatim mode to get exactly what you want.

You’ll only get more extensions, if anything. The current copyright system is an atavism from older, simpler times.

We changed to USB-C ports because the EU forced us we have courage!

Risk is practically nothing in your case, because you’re being careful, and know what you’re doing. You won’t run a binary when you were expecting the Barbie movie, for example.

If you were downloading binaries, then your risk is significant, but even then, unless you’re downloading new releases immediately, it’s likely that your antivirus will catch the new popular ransomware after a few days, when a few thousands of people have become infected. Governments won’t employ valuable zero-days on any rando who just wants to see their new isekai episode.

Fucking communists.

Because software is very brittle these days, it would occasionally perform surprise lasik on your guests.

Also worth noting that BookWyrm can import your books from a GoodReads export, so you can try it without risking much.

You could also go back, right click the link that took you to this file, and select “save as”.

Kudos for using the word “gerontocracy”.

I think they’re allowing new accounts a week of age, compared to a year in the past iterations. It all about boosting those engagement numbers.

He’s pointing out the requests are too old to be in response to the APIcalypse, not that they’re not admin requests.

Spez: See? People can’t stay away from my house!

People: <throwing eggs and toilet paper at the house>

Spez: B-but there’s no bad publicity, right? Give me money, I totally know what I’m doing, just like Elon.

It’s doubly laudable when you consider that he’s paying $100 for a developer license so we can have Memmy for free. He might have had the license already for other projects, but still, I’m humbled by the generosity, both in time, effort, and money.

Does that make a difference? Apple doesn’t allow alternative browser engines, so all iOS browsers are actually Safari in different clothes.

I don’t actually know if a home shortcut will still launch Safari, or the browser that made the shortcut.

Unless you’re Chinese, there’s very little you can do to stop that, as opposed to encouraging your country’s politicians who have proven commitment to curb climate change.

So “China builds 5 coal plants every day before breakfast” is the whataboutism here.

Also jumped to the App Store version. Memmy got so usable so fast I haven’t reported anything for two weeks, I’m leaving my TestFlight spot for someone more picky.

The only viable way to control the Fediverse is an embrace, extend, and extinguish approach.

• Join the Fediverse
• Pour a ton of money and manpower on your instance so most people migrate to it because it works better.
• Reach critical mass and defederate the others.
• Proceed to screw your users.

Anything less and you become a Fediverse backwater instead of a monopoly.

If only those expert researchers were more focused on a great user experience instead of dark patterns to sell more ad eyeballs. There’s definitely good expertise to crowdsource, give it time.
