It's just so strange to me how many people are not receptive to being told
"Hey maybe we shouldn't have all of our computers based on proprietary operating systems and APIs controlled by a single corporation"
"Hey maybe we shouldn't have web traffic directed and organized through search by a single corporation"
"Hey maybe the way that we talk to each other online shouldn't be owned and controlled through algorithms and advertising by a single corporation"

What fool uses the term "time traveller" when they could have used
"zeitguest"
Has anyone else noticed Minecraft mods inexplicably vanishing from Curseforge? Someone is reporting three mods from two authors that have vanished in recent months, but the last-online date for the authors is years ago.

Anyone else with ADHD buys in bulk even though the item is just for you?
I am down to the last bits of my last tube of lip balm and YES I will be restocking with 7-10 new ones
The thought of buying shit when I need it is fuckin exhausting because it’s gonna take, at least, 3-5 days before I even get the focus AND energy to buy more 🤦🏾♀️

welcome to "the entire fedi is talking about a thing I don't care about at all" night
re: twitter, fascist commentary, cops
(These are translated to be clear, the original thread is in Dutch)
twitter, fascist commentary, cops
A selection of comments to a video showing a cop being grossly negligent and almost pushing an activist under a train:
"It's the climate terrorist's own fault"
"We should invert the right to protest; forbidden unless you have permission"
"Shame they didn't get hit"
"Actually, the cop saved the protester"
Jesus, the replies on Twitter have really gotten *so much* worse and more outright fascist since I last looked there...

berlusconi
"The Berlusconi family does not control the company directly. Instead, its shares are owned by 38 separate companies, all named 'Holding Italiana' followed by a number (1-38), most of which are in turn controlled by Berlusconi."
wow, that's obvious

If anything, I'd say queer context is more aligned with what humans actually are rather than a reductive binary because that context acknowledges how complex human sexuality is and tries to create space for people to find what fits them from the standpoint of nuance.
It's silly to reduce ourselves to a handful of labels that are only descriptors of social markers anyway.

Oof, I recently found out that there's a video game UI database (https://www.gameuidatabase.com/) made and maintained by Edd Coates, a designer who specializes in video game UI and UX, but it's unfortunately both closed-source *and* the only way to contribute to it is by tweeting stuff at him. As in, exclusively through Twitter :<
I wonder if I should email him about accepting alternative ways of contributing cause the idea is super cool and I have a whole bunch of stuff I could submit, but I'm not sure he'd agree or even, like, acknowledge that I exist 🥲

Forms where you can enter a comment, hit "post" and only then are asked to log in can die in a fire. Looking at you ifixit

this toot brought to you by people who have no interest in the development of early modern science and are pretty confident they can wall off "chemistry" as completely discontinuous with "alchemy"

i've always had
and will always continue to have
a burning hatred for the concept of "homework"
it's bullshit
they already take so much from you expecting you to show up every day
then have the gall to demand you sacrifice your potentially very limited free time too?
