Yeah this is still true as far as I know. Honestly this is probably what allowed BS to gain a foothold; I like mastodon too but asking new users to pick a server was always going to be a source of adoption friction.

Well we need to Fill The Swamp right?

The Manhattan Project? Really? We’re just openly comparing Trump initiatives to wartime efforts to create weapons of cataclysmic power? An initiative that changed global politics by further pushing it into fear?

Putting all that aside, a project that would have cost $27 BILLION dollars today? That’s “government efficiency”?

It’s so stupid I can’t even find it funny.

I imagine it’s probably part of the x-carriage, but if you download the assembly instructions pdf you can walk through it to find the part and it will label it for you.

No kidding, I had a brief moment where I hated him slightly less but then I remembered all the tangible harm he has done and it went away.

“F*** unity… We have the votes. And they tried to kill Trump,” he said in another expletive-laden post, referring to Democrats.

Is someone going to tell him?

I love this. Full stop.

We need more clean, minimal design like this across the web.

Yeah I’ve been a Kagi subscriber since they opened up. My normal usage is perplexity when I want details about a topic summarized and Kagi when I am looking for a website.

Kagi also has some ethical concerns; like a shitty attitude towards compromises to support human safety (refusing to add suicide prevention links comes to mind) but the perplexity guy just took it to another level.

I assume that they’re still benefiting from your use via analytics and training data.

Damn. I liked Perplexity. Sucks to delete it, but this guy can fuck directly off.

The vitriol over this topic is humorous. We charge our phones and watches daily, nobody is losing their minds over that. However, asking for the mouse to be plugged in one night a month is outlandish and absurd.

The best part is that this minor issue overshadows the real issue: the ergonomics are terrible. I have large hands and simply can not hold onto the thing properly. Narrow and flat is poor design for something you need to get a grip on to slide around.

I’m pretty sure that we’re friends now by law.

Now if only they could add “swipe to go back” to their Linux client. Only thing keeping me off of Vivaldi these days.

Are you me? I’m also a lazy tech schlub now who was formerly a paint store warehouse worker, home renovation worker, etc.

Fully agree that everyone going into tech should spend real time working hard labor and retail. I genuinely feel that my non-tech experiences made me a better person and a better tech schlub.

I remember tech coworkers complaining that the wall filled with free snacks and candy didn’t have the right kind of snacks and candy, and having to hold myself back from going full Everett True.

Did I even watch the movie which hasn’t come out yet? I’m pretty sure I know which of us is a bot.

No.

Bring back my hopeful vision of the future Star Trek, I’m all done with this new wave.

You’re welcome.

Fuck you, Tony!

The cult of Stallman continues to baffle me. The man is venom in the veins of the free software community and people just adore him.

I love the ideals of the free software movement but RMS is so toxic that I won’t associate myself with it while he’s tolerated.
