Your laziness isn’t a good reason to be upset with a company taking steps to reduce their security overhead significantly
Your laziness isn’t a good reason to add an unnecessary barrier of entry for your users.
- Comment on What is the General Consensus of Web3? 6 days ago:
I think most proponents/engineers got distracted by number go up and forgot about the decentralization of the Web part. The little bits that are good about it just can’t seem to figure out the UX problem.
- Comment on Cybertruck Owner Breaks His Finger Trying to Show Vehicle Is Safe 1 week ago:
The dumb fuck even tested it on a stick first and it snapped the stick.
“But first I’m going to test it out with this stick. This is exactly what I’m going to do with my finger. I’m going to put it right there and hopefully my finger doesn’t break like that but let’s find out,” Fay says
I bet this guy lives in Florida.
- Comment on PSA: Don't eat cicadas if you're allergic to shellfish... or at all 1 week ago:
The sound of an awoken brood looking to fuck is maddening and inescapable. I absolutely dread experiencing that again.
- Comment on Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel? 1 week ago:
This is the only explanation that spans parties and ideologies. Loosing this foothold would be detrimental to regional military and diplomatic influence.
- Comment on If you take care of your parents or other elderly, how are you preparing to age gracefully? 2 weeks ago:
I’m mostly hoping I can figure out suicide before dementia. That’s no way to go out.
- Comment on What do companies get out of rewards programs 3 weeks ago:
It’s also generally not about you in particular. They mostly just want to lump you in with similar lifestyles groupings. Then they target you and your cohorts with targeted sales, advertising, or sell that data on the open market.

- Comment on Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees) 5 weeks ago:
It’s all good, until you’re being asked to do some administrative stuff like help Jen from accounting on company finances because it’s tax season.
There’s nothing like some droll task like stuffing some envelopes to get your mind off that problem you’ve been wrestling with.
But yeah, this all is highly dependent on the company and the work expected of you. I was thinking more along the lines of not wanting to have to do devops all day every day. While I do like that work, I much prefer when I also get to do other work like architecture, programming, db design, etc.
- Comment on Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees) 5 weeks ago:
People having to perform multiple roles due to having fewer personnel.
A pro in my book. I like the diversity of work rather than getting pigeon-holed into some very niche little task that I would have to do day in and day out.

Fun project! Godpseed

Socket 7! I’m amazed any of those are still floating around. Industrial?
- Comment on Why bag the hydrant? 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t that what paint’s for? Seems like a lot of unnecessary plastic trash.
- Comment on Roblox Studio head: 'you can say, okay, we are exploiting child labour'... 1 month ago:
“I don’t know, you can say this for a lot of things, right?” said Roblox Studio head Stefano Corazza at GDC, when the allegation was put to him by Eurogamer. "Like, you can say, ‘Okay, we are exploiting, you know, child labour,’ right? Or, you can say: we are offering people anywhere in the world the capability to get a job, and even like an income. So, I can be like 15 years old, in Indonesia, living in a slum, and then now, with just a laptop, I can create something, make money and then sustain my life.
Of all the ways you could’ve framed this you went with actual child labor.

Yeah, but it’s important to drum up political support.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I think this is kind of the big problem with the messaging. I know plenty of economists say it would work, but it’s non-intuitive to most of us.
- Comment on Why does the film press talk so much about box office income? 2 months ago:
It’s just a metric for success and popularity.
- Comment on Valve announces new rules for games with AI Content on Steam 4 months ago:
So with that, if you plan to avoid AI games, at least Valve will give you a clear way to spot them.
I don’t get it. Why would people avoid it?
And what even is “AI” in this context? Would a chess bot be AI? What about opponent drivers in racing games? That’s been the historical use of the term in gaming…
- Comment on Why is propaganda frowned upon? 4 months ago:
Especially by the people we’re supposed to be represented by.
Manufactured consent involves turning around the democratic process.
- Comment on The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance 4 months ago:
Firefox has been nice to work with on my end. And fast. Even the dev tools are way better than they were a decade ago. Almost all the important extensions work on it.
I don’t really understand how its market share is so low now.
- Comment on The way this is spelled out really irks me. 4 months ago:
Saw that recently as well. Wondering if the stats are US versus the world. BMWs just don’t seem common enough in the US to hold the top spot. Unless every drive is constantly tanked at all times.
- Comment on Reviews for "Leave The World Behind" being brigaded with copy/paste negative reviews - presumably because it was produced by the Obamas. 4 months ago:
End was frustrating just because I wanted more. But it was a fun ride.
- Comment on Suspects can refuse to provide phone passcodes to police, court rules 4 months ago:
But don’t forget, kids. They can force you to provide biometrics.

I’m just here for the wont
- Comment on What were some ways old community sites grew before stuff like search engine optimization became prevalent? 5 months ago:
IIRC, that was powered by Mozilla Directory (AKA dmoz!). RIP. I was an editor for a couple categories for a while. Curated link lists looked like they might be the way to go, but search engines ended up getting really good at the time so the project kind of declined.
- Comment on What were some ways old community sites grew before stuff like search engine optimization became prevalent? 5 months ago:
Oh yeah, magazines and traditional ads like billboards with URLs on them. “www” was in everything, some even with the protocol.
- Comment on What were some ways old community sites grew before stuff like search engine optimization became prevalent? 5 months ago:
Word of mouth from friends, on forums, and chat rooms.
Web rings were neat. A bunch of sites would be part of the ring, and you could use the little applet at the bottom of the page to jump to the next site. An interesting way to expose yourself to a bunch of content in a similar category. Kind of wish they still existed, but I assume they’d be abused by the same SEO fuckers.
And let’s all not forget typing in random shit for domains to see what came up.
