  I liked the old aibnb one.

  Microsoft went from “boring with a bit of attitude” to just plain boring

  Except eBay, that was always trash.

  Only until enshittification kicks in

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The conversation here is about mastodon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The vast majority of users are on general instances without demands like that. If you don’t want to join an exclusive club, just pick a sever that is not intended to be an exclusive club (I.e. nearly any of the big ones).

  If bluesky ever becomes actually federated, won’t it have the same problem?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon rizzes up a girl⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess that’s what it means now

  No please

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you even post that much⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s America

  Wat

  Like, how much toffee can you make from a cup?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's body is a machine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In what country? I saw them in Germany decades ago, but I haven’t seen one in Australia yet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pity, 'cause it’s a great question, and a great trope. I can think of a few good examples. Maybe it’s time to start a TVTropes account and get editing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's coming! :(⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t know what it was, so I looked it up. Their description is here:

  blog.mozilla.org/netpolicy/2024/08/…/ppa-update/

  It sounds interesting… It also sounds like it will fail, because Mozilla seems to think that trackers are primarily interested in collecting ad stats, and that targeted advertising is less critical, but I think in reality it’s the other way around, and advertisers won’t accept such a limited solution.

  Rueben Bolling’s comics are nearly always just as on-point as this. Well worth following.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨💸💸💸⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Source?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Climate change⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe someone needs to start a science shitposts community

  I’m middle aged and I’m still only half way through that saga

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Those arc sides are parallel in polar coordinates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Square!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a square in polar coordinates

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do remote workers actually work? Yes, but they also shop and shower⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The backlog at my old job was a solid couple of years long. Probably a decade if you included all the non-critical stuff

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Academic writing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think any scientist should able to convey at least the high level concepts that they’re working on at the level that a smart 12th-grader can follow. If you can’t do that, I think that’s a sign that you’re probably not thinking about your work very clearly. Being able to distill things and context-switch back to a birds-eye view of your work is critical for knowing what direction you’re heading in.

  (I say this from the perspective of a climate scientist - our field has a pretty active public/lay conversation and lots of science comma, but I think the concept still applies to other sciences, and social sciences.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ABC article alleges caucus concern over Fatima Payma being "guided by god". Smells of a character assassination to me.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In a strikingly similar way, one should not have to toe the party line.

  Milloy has been spouting denial for decades, but this might be the dumbest thing I’ve seen him say yet.
