It turns out that watching people lose money to crypto is my kink.

There’s two kinds of people who comment on EV threads.

People who say stuff like this post, and people who actually own EVs. There is no overlap.

I had way more issues with phantom braking in the 3 months it was enabled than I’ve had with actually crashing in 20 years of driving.

I want graded licences so people who have no crashes don’t get forcibly subjected to bad technology just because those that can’t drive need it.

tl;dr

Who cares why they did it?

It proves they can and do alter the “archived” website, so it’s usefulness as a source is completely gone.

My Facebook feed looks nothing like that, nor most of the (exaggerated?) complaints in the replies.

Mine is full of content from people I know, local community groups, and pages I follow.

If I scroll long enough to run out of actual local/ subscribed content it will start feeding me other stuff, but it’s usually at least somewhat relevant. If it’s not I just hit the X to say not interested and usually take the opportunity to get off the damn thing for a while.

Facebook does a lot of stupid crap but these sort of lazy observations smack of some nerd pandering to the cool kids about how lame their parents are to get some acceptance or something equality as cringe.

I’ve cancelled my monthly donation to Mozilla. What’s the point. Every bit of feedback I’ve provided is to the tune of no goddamn AI, spend my money towards keeping up with the alternatives to make sure there’s always an extra player in the field. Instead it’s going to some overpaid dickhead who’s going to introduce AI.

I hate Exchange so much.

Also the fact CTRL-C randomly doesn’t copy.

You weren’t scared to commit

But that doesn’t help your case so I’m sure you’ll just downvote me.

Didn’t bother reading any further

Spotify was never anywhere near perfect.

Radio? More like exact same 50 track curated playlist on repeat.

Want to listen to music? Here’s Joe Rogan. Again. Don’t skip him, or we’ll automatically subscribe you to his channel.

Enjoying something a little outside your normal 20 tracks we constantly play you? Well let’s fix that… Back to the same tiny pool of content loser.

Couldn’t help but notice you had some money left over this month. That’s good, because the price just went up again.

We’ve got a world “leader” who pioneered the end of consequences and showed that easily proven facts weren’t worth the bits they were sent over the internet with, so that ship has already sailed.

Enjoy the freedom that comes with never having to answer for your crimes. Kick a puppy. Call someone a slur. Steal a game ball from a kid at the world series.

I think this is a good thing. Now there’s plausible deniability for anything you might have said in the past that surfaces - that’s just a deepfake! Don’t cancel me, it’s not real.

We used to play DOOM multiplayer by connecting two dialup modems and pretending it was a serial link. Worked perfectly.

Is there a more ignored file on the internet than robots.txt?

I’ve always maintained that the dude who spent like 10,000 Bitcoin to buy a pizza was the first and last legitimate use of crypto.

Name a more iconic duo

My wife and I have had our location shared with each other for years, but it’s not a “Are they cheating?” thing. I have been married for 14 years and never wonder if my wife is cheating on me. It’s just incredibly useful for seeing how far away one of us is from home to do things like plan dinner prep times, know where to look for a lost phone, etc. If you can’t trust your SO, there is something wrong that you need to address and micro-managing where they are is toxic.

My wife and I are the same. Shared location means rather than a message saying “are you on your way home?” you can just check where they’re at. If I’m out on a late night callout she can see where I am instead of worrying or constantly pinging for updates. Meeting somewhere? Live updates keeps everyone in sync, and let’s you know if you’ve got time to do something on the way or if they’re already waiting or whatever.

People must be in some super unhappy relationships if they see location sharing as nefarious.
