If that’s true, shame on them. But it doesn’t mean their browser isn’t good.

Wishing doesn’t seem like an effective strategy

They’re not distinguishing “remote work” from “working from home” which are two entirely different things. There are whole communities of remote workers who meet and work together around the world. I guarantee you that remote working men who take advantage of these kinds of environments have a better sense of community than men who are forced to go sit in a cubicle with a group of people like the cast of The Office with less sense of humor.

Don’t worry, the total collapse of the US government is scheduled for this weekend.

I’m really looking forward to what Russia has to say today.

Yeah, the point is Ukraine can now go to the peace talks and say “Are you ready to quit and go home yet?”

I live in a place full of Russians. Trust me, they know. The official state media tries to cover it up, but it’s getting harder and harder. Most Russians know, they just can’t talk about it publicly without risking prison. But Putin’s days are numbered.

Make it to a month, and it will be come a new habit. After three months of dedication, you’ll probably be able to look at yourself in the mirror and see real changes.

I didn’t realize that Purism phones don’t have internationally compatible modems. As someone who travels a lot, that’s unfortunately a dealbreaker.

I’d assume that played a huge role in him choosing to step down.

86 started at a speakeasy during the prohibition called Chumley’s at 86 Bedford Street in NYC. They’d kick out poorly behaved people, telling them to “86 it” out the door. These days restaurant workers and kitchen staff is 86 to mean that a menu item is unavailable or someone is being cut off or kicked out. It basically means “get rid of it”.

In my social circles, people have moved from Facebook to Instagram and WhatsApp. To be honest, it’s a different UI but the same algorithmic overlords.

The thing with Facebook/Meta is that it’s not just one thing. It’s a lot of different things under one umbrella. In general, the replacement for Meta is the Fediverse. But you need to be specific about which features you want to replace.

For long form posts, I’ve set up my own blog using Ghost. Ghost also has passable Fediverse support now, though it’s still missing a lot of features.

These are some of the most inaccessible seeming accessibility features I’ve ever seen. They updated visionOS for blind people, for fucks sake. And who decided to put the word “nutrition” in an accessibility feature that has nothing to do with nutrition? Braille on a smartphone screen? A magnifier app with normal sized UI controls? Who is in charge of this?

Depardieu [argued] that he did not consider placing a hand on a person’s buttocks sexual assault and that some women were too easily shocked.

[The judge said] “He does not seem to have grasped either the concept of consent or the … consequences of his behaviour…”

The takeaway for men: yes, you need consent before grabbing someone’s ass.

I really hope civilization survives for the next five years because I’d love to be able to eat gluten again, omg!

Just don’t let ICE find out about your username. Pretty sure that will fall under their “porn ban” excuse for disappearing people to El Salvador soon.

The US is heading surprisingly rapidly towards that point. It was a tragedy when it happened in the Middle East. Unfortunately many of the right wing people in the US don’t understand this yet.

Don’t give them any ideas.

Can you spell out for me what you’re talking about? I don’t understand.

Under the bill, content would be considered obscene if it appeals to prurient interests in nudity

And since they’ve already taken away due process, they’re basically paving the way to send anyone who has a body they don’t like to a death camp. I don’t think it’s hyperbole anymore to say that that US is fucked.
