Not for nothing, but also pretty handy for OSINT work.

Super cool that paying for LinkedIn Premium means I now have an unavoidable AI suggestion box on every damn post.

Well, that's why we have uBlock Origin custom rules I guess.

Saw this meme on Threads but felt it belonged here with us nerds.

Favorite spaceship! Reply with a GIF.

Tired: "You're a very gifted student. This should be easy for you."

Wired: "Your brain works differently from a lot of other kids. That means you can do very well at some things, but struggle with others that seem easy for your peers. But it's okay! We'll learn how these work for you together."

Hey, before you run that poll, just remember you're running it on Selection Bias: The App.

Ah, felt great to be streamin' again. Missed it.

But it does speak to my functional programmer heart.

Hey nostr:npub1rn2y9m58jg6a3jf8pk8fafu4auumhp00x0f6gw6gacxqv5mpxh2sycggwn, thanks for continuing to maintain RSS feeds! Now, please stop blocking FreshRSS User-Agent strings. That can't be a major source of scraping for you, but would mean the world to some of us.

nostr:npub1r3n08ljcwy5smnd8wvpl999ky4tyjnckplu492dl59egnpmr6m6svtqv63 I understand the economics of newspapers, thanks.

I still don't enjoy having the one I pay for put charlatans above the fold.

Look corpo stuff is nasty, but I still recommend giving your non tech-savvy family members Chromebooks if you're concerned about constant family tech support.

Periodic reminder that oil companies knew about the effects of atmospheric CO2 in the 50s, researched it deeply, knew what would happen, and kept right on polluting.

And lied about knowing the consequences.
