Just excuses. Not like I care, but he’ll never actually own up to this or apologize for being rude to people who called him out.

I suppose it always was rainbow capitalism. No way somebody with too much money for them to have to care about marginalized people would.

Say you’re a hateful bigot without saying you’re a hateful bigot.

As media scrutiny ticked up Friday, Meta began taking down Liv and other bots’ posts, many of which dated back at least a year, citing a “bug.”

Funny how that works. I don’t think the main talking point is the issue that they couldn’t be blocked on Instagram. That is a non-answer to the question of why the decision to unleash these creepy, fake users into the wild was made in the first place. Full fledged features aren’t suddenly mistakes just because they’re getting backlash now. It seems like they’re not sorry and they’re going to keep trying.

Luigi Mangione represents an idea that is uncomfortable to certain people in power. It’s okay to attribute millions of deaths to Hitler when he gives the order to kill and condones the decisions his subordinates make to carry out that order. But they don’t want to let the poors normalize the idea that a healthcare CEO should be considered similarly responsible for many intentional deaths when he gives the order to deny as many claims as possible especially when they are clearly valid and urgently needed. Brian Thompson is responsible for many deaths. It’s not fair to say he isn’t just because he didn’t kill directly with a gun.

This is getting really fucking creepy. I suppose next they’re going to start following and sending private messages because anything is worth it for our precious “engagement”.

Dead internet theory was inevitable, but who thought Facebook themselves would bring it about?

Maniac Mansion. I never got far, but it’s a silly little point and click game.

I always thought this metaverse crap was just an obvious money-making scheme that preyed on isolated people during COVID-19. They only started developing their metaverse platforms during the pandemic. Of course they all failed to capitalize because the world largely returned to normal while they were still flaunting NFTs and unfinished metaverse platforms that still can’t do better than a private Minecraft SMP with your friends.

The bar is pretty low, but yeah. At least Google provides a pretty good email service. I can’t have the same confidence in a Musk product.

Let me remind you that this will be under the same guy who made his employees yank out server machines and transport them in an unprofessional and insecure manner. Your data would be unsafe with him in more than one way.

Things rich people do to cope with hardship:

• Prayer
• Fasting
• Earning more money in a year than you’ll make in your entire lifetime

I gave the first Armored Core a try and played a few missions. The movement is rather clunky coming straight from the buttery smooth Armored Core 6. However, the other systems seem pretty robust for the first game in the series.

It is exactly like that, which probably is the point. I never got on with Twitter even before the downfall. Now on Bluesky I’m being selective about what I like and follow. I’m gradually getting the kind of feed that I like to see and reply to. It takes quite a bit of work to influence the algorithms to your liking, but it offers a different social outlet than what Reddit-like sites can offer.

initiative to withhold “billions of dollars in advertising revenue”

That’s how he sees it, huh? He is entitled to your money by default, and you’re the problem if you ever stop giving him money?

It’s a start. At least ordinary people are leaving Twitter for another site in some capacity.

No joke, this is the game Yuji Naka wishes he could have made. What a disappointment Balan Wonderworld was. This just looks like the same concept executed better in every way.

Damn, that’s some badass World of Warcraft armor.

Super Mario 64: Beyond the Cursed Mirror - Great 120 star ROM hack. It adds plenty of custom coded content and a Paper Mario-like badge system.

Sure, but this time I thought these things might matter because the article gives a deadline - the end of the universe.
