Fuckin’ everything is white.

Barf.

Yeah, the crypto stuff is opt-in, as is their AI-tool. I appreciate that they aren’t mandatory.

Clear your cookies and use a VPN. (And your browser probably has a setting you can enable to clear your cookies automatically every time you close out.)

Yup.

Brave is a better product.

YES.

I wish more people could understand that you can just… not consume something. You not liking it doesn’t make it bad and it doesn’t make other people inferior for enjoying it.

Just scroll on.

Certainly seems that way.

There’s a new bug or eminently shitty feature almost every day, or at least it seems that way.

Understanding it’ll take some time for any competition to have an impact, it’s still nice to see that someone, somewhere in the world is looking at this manufactured scarcity and deciding not to exploit it.

These bastards need to pay some fucking taxes.

I truly hate this motherfucker.

Cultural appropriation.

So… You’re offended. People are living out of their cars now. I’m more worried about that.

Same, but it motivated me to do the work, and it’s a skill that crosses over into work life significantly.

Agreed 100%.

Every exam should have some oral component. Doesn’t need to be the whole of one’s grade, but 10% sounds about right: significant enough to be impactful, but not so significant that people with severe anxiety can’t otherwise pass.

Just another reminder in a planetary history of reminders of why our species fucking sucks.

You said it. Dogshit.

I’m so glad I’ve spent the last few years backing up the file of pretty much every bit of media I enjoy, because it’s the visual equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

They do now. There was a mass shooting there yesterday.

That’s fair. Good point.

I appreciate the info. Thank you.

Not at all.

When they have power and still rule as conservatives, we hate them for the fact that they lied to us. When they are out of power and fail to oppose anything they said they would, we hate them for being collaborators.

It’s two different, but very shitty things.

That would be the point of an oral examination.

It requires actual preparation, which is now apparently essential to demonstrate. GenAI may be able to write the answers for you, but this requires that you actually prepared to a meaningful extent.
