also i cannot stress this enough: if your ISP can spy on your traffic, and you use a VPN to avoid that, then whoever is hosting the VPN can spy on exactly the same traffic

We’re now at nearly a decade of consumer Retina laptops being shipped and yet Linux DEs still fail at fractional scaling on a massive level. In fairness, Windows didn’t handle it well until about 5 years ago, but now it handles it beautifully even with multiple screens.

I’ve started thinking of Wordle - with the guessing of a whole word from sparse clues and often just getting it wrong - as a game of “POV: you ARE the autocorrect algorithm”

Between this bot designed to grief Wordle enthusiasts & the unbelievably large number of crypto phishing bots on the platform, I don't understand how Twitter is gating access to its APIs right now. It's hard for legit devs to get access, but the worst actors on the platform can?

Even the spammiest “brands” at the end of the day are trying to get me to advertise some kind of usb-c cable or charger.

You are asking me to advertise nothing beyond the concept of FOMO and fake digital scarcity.

I have more respect for the diamond industry.

What happened? Why is internet punk now all about artificially creating scarcity?

Remember when Napster was punk because it knocked down the walls of scarcity and access created by record companies?

We went from "fuck you, capitalism" to "let's make more capitalism."
