I genuinely don’t understand the cishet obsession with justifying not wanting to fuck people. I have plenty of friends who have hit on me and I turned them down because I found them unattractive. I didn’t however explain why I turned them down I just said no and everyone was fine with it because saying no is a completely reasonable response to someone trying to initiate a sexual or romantic relationship. Why do cis people have to go “well I don’t fuck trannies” every time they have to turn down a transfem.

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

Everyone should be aware of nitter.net

for any address to twitter you can replace the “x.com” with “nitter.net” and you will be able to browse as if you have an account. Lifesaver.

Similarly, imginn.com works for most Instagram addresses. I still haven’t found one for Facebook.

holy shit okay may have found a game-changer for web searches...with duckduckgo it's easy to turn off the ai features permanently, but regardless of engine there's the increasing problem of the search results themselves leading mostly to ai-generated articles on random ghost websites that say a lot without any information, and then the information they do give is contradictory or otherwise just wrong. this is especially a problem for me when trying to search for, e.g., a current list of the best products in a certain category.

finally searched for a solution and there IS in fact a giant hand-curated list of sites containing this content. it can be imported to ublock origin on desktop or mobile, and even can be used on iOS via the ublacklist extension in the safari app. it's updated regularly, and importing via the link as described should allow those updates to go into effect automatically.

i've only tested it a little bit, but after importing the list and repeating my duckduckgo search for backpack recommendations, my top results now lead to websites that appear to be linked to actual organizations in some form, with an "about us" page and the name of a founder and everything. the text is still often a bit wordy and SEO-optimized, but it now has actual recommendations that are relevant to the query. BIG IF TRUE???

please do not start talking about The Definition Of Art on this post, or Whether Human Creations Have Souls. i am very tired.

once I added this it took me 15 minutes to find a backpack that met my needs and order it with free shipping. I feel reborn

I know its a running joke that every year is "year of the Linux" but... this year... its true. We are past "nerds trying to feel superior" era, you can click around and it just works. You just update with "update manager" and no fucking 3h of "shutting down"

Mint even has a "yeah you probably want to install this" screen on fresh install, so no more GPU drivers nightmare. Steam with Proton made a huge effort to make it more friendly to run windows apps/games (i remember the hell with wineprefixes)

And every quartal, windows update breaks yet another thing. (and i dont think its gonna get better) https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-11-bug-roundup/

yes you will have to read some info about your system. yes you will have to adjust to new workflow. but now its more of a 5min googling and reading, not 6h in terminal asking "whats GRUB"

the mistake all of those ‘L should have just done this’ or ‘light should have just done this’ posts make is assuming death note is a show about a detective trying at all costs to catch a serial killer who wants at all costs to remain killing when in fact it’s a show about a series of very intelligent young people giving into their worst impulses and destroying themselves utterly in the largely fruitless quest to be understood
