I want to like steam but it comes with all these stupid restrictions and it’s also annoying to use (needy interface with popups, disabling cloud seems to be near impossible)

Is it ok to dislike both Google AND Facebook

Not even because they’re “social media” (though apparently Google+ kept crap out of your feed) but because they both seem committed to censoring different things

I wish I could say Google was lesser of two evils but they’re just involved in so much shit

Dreamwidth is interesting

It’s really fun how some companies are now reinventing (or coming up with a second version of ideas we liked the first time), using better tools

(Context: it’s a blogging platform, like livejournal was)

It’s a flawed administration structure

I don’t know how to fully fix it but you can’t have a bunch of ideological zealots as mods on subreddits especially if they’re shared between subs

Aww, these are great shots of him

Error code 418, I’m a teapot

Ok but museums having condoms is weird because if everyone used them there would be no one to be born to start the museums

Dude

The fucking nostr bots

Facebook grew by being a combination of infinitely adaptable and also essentially practices of data hostage

Ie they copy everyone else, all the data flows one way

They even outright subverted people’s email addresses

Zuckerberg is an awful person

If they were forced to compete fairly then the market would decide

It doesn’t hurt that in 2006 the competition was fucking MySpace with its tenuous network effects (and maybe Rupert Murdock) and lack of consistency and the internet was also really taking off
