We should call usernames "Handles" again.

The more I read about the CEO assassination and the reaction from other "Healthcare Industry Officials" I genuinely suspect these people had no idea they were hated. The way they express almost childlike surprise that anyone could DISLIKE them for some reason...

Speaking of, over and over and over and over again it is proven that private healthcare insurance is more expensive for the individual AND the state.

The ONLY argument that holds water for private health insurance is the pure "I refuse to pay for poor people's health" argument, aka "I am actually too selfish to function in society"

Apparently I am "morally grandstanding" for pointing out puritans hate erotica.

I am confused.

@cstross

Honestly I don't think it would have worked; the web only took off because people could read their newspapers for free online and maybe find a chatroom you liked. Paywalls for newspapers were still years away.

This was way before web-shops or social media existed after all, everything moving in a 56.6k full duplex speed...

If you use AI generated crap to illustrate something: STOP.

If you care about the environment AT ALL, stop using AI.
If you care about artists of any kind, stop using AI.

Let's fucking go, America!

@siege Wait, people throw around the AI insult for this? Seriously?

@siege I still vastly prefer Brit pop over grunge.

UK Mastodon for the last 24 hours

@siege I must say that the British monarchy seems to hold juuuust enough power to make things a tad uncomfortable.

@siege Mother in law probably has it on. Parents not so much. Tho their TV is about 10 years old at this point so maybe it wasn't enabled by default then...

@siege Boomer TVs NOW or Boomers TVs when we grew up watching them?

Because 24fps seems pretty low to me 😉

@lauren @feld @reay or care

@inquiline Centrists and Liberals always consider protesters The Enemy, at least in a more "have they no respect??" kind of way and less "Shoot the commie kids" kind of way. The desperate need for "decorum" is a very Centrist value and permeates everything from trying to get people of color to not talk about racism on social media, to scolding their children for not wanting to talk with their racist or transphobic uncle, to siccing riot police on students for daring to not wanting genocide.

@siege This is when if you are doing the interview should just smile and nod.

@br00t4c Tesla is, among other things, one of the worst cars at being a car. It is a statement for assholes and hipsters and "weird nerds" (tech bros), but it is not a good car.

On PC it seems only #Chrome and #Firefox offer no frills non bloated #browsers anymore.

Maybe the Duck duck Go browser, but it lacks the things I actually do count as essential (syncing across platforms).

Anyway, all other browsers seem chock full of bloat, cramming the browser full of features I will never use.

@clacke @root42 @tob @nikatjef @Tattooed_Mummy exactly. Especially since the marketing and a lot of the tech press leans into the "smart" bit so hard.
