Finally! The day I've been waiting for so long. Goodbye Linux, hello Windows!

nobody ever

And who can forget this abomination

while (x == y) { func1(); func2(); }

Some of those made me physically ill.

Like. You do WHAT with your whitespace?!

Star Trek

American Horror Story

Although I don't usually skip intros unless I'm in a serious binge mood or short on time.

I don't mind frameworks, but some features that seem super useful to devs, like google analytics, and various diagnostic/logging tools, social media integrations, I would prefer to "opt in" when I decide they are necessary.

I require https, but not every website is secure, and sometimes the certificate has a problem or is expired.

Tldr: I prefer to opt-in.

Technically it's uBO, but I use the extreme setting that blocks all scripts by default. Truthfully I wasn't aware just how many scripts get loaded especially on ecommerce and social media sites, there are too many heavy frameworks being used. Much of it is unnecessary bloat, slowing down my browser, and no small amount of it is devoted to tracking and data collection.

In general, I find less than half of loaded scripts are required to make a page functional. It's a process requiring trial-and-error, but I have a good set of base rules in place for trusted sites and scripts.

For me, it's about not giving websites free reign over my browser and by extension my computer and personal data, but having some measure of control over them.

And occasionally there are suspicious sites where I truly don't want any scripts to run. I don't even have to worry about them.

Internet in 2024 (for me):

1. Service unavailable in your country (VPN)
2. Confirm you're a human (VPN)
3. Blank page (noscript)
4. Obscure error (fingerprint / cookie blocking)
5. Page not found (https required)

The percentage of websites that "just work" with privacy measures in place is depressingly small.

Why is that even a question in 2024

I think there is a difference.

Basically all animals will attack other animals when they invade their home space. Even insects do so and it can be brutal. Speaking outside of human moral constructs, you wouldn't be out of line for killing a rat or even a cat that was unwelcome in your home. Life will do what it can to ensure survival.

But it's easier to feel empathy for what is more similar to us. So, mammals, for example. Domesticated and tame animals that have adapted to humans.

I suggest making small efforts to cultivate compassion even for the creepiest insects, by taking a cup, bowl, or piece of paper and taking them outside. Now it could be argued whether this is doing them any favors, but I feel better about that compared to just smashing them.

It may sound ridiculous but yes I did reach the point where I am affected by any life I take, and really strive to avoid it where possible. I have "mutual arrangements" with a variety of insects in my house, such as small spiders. They stay out of my way, and I let them take care of other insects that slip through the cracks.

My thought was it's very similar to a human, passing off complete bullshit as though it were fact, in a succinct and self-assured manner.

I'm starting to miss the days where a computer program would just respond with "Syntax error" or "No results found" instead of generating random garbage.

FACTS don't care about your feelings! Study reveals Macos is 2 1/3 times better than Linux, massive 27% improvement over Windows!

Honestly. I think that's what many of the nutjob protestors and "commentators" do. Why work a real job when you can be paid by suckers to jetset around the country/world spouting controversial views.

Elon says preferred names and pronouns are dumb.

Thus I will only refer to twttr by twttr's original name.

I think it's fine as long as their's no central corporate interest controlling the show. Which is a strength of FOSS, at least those projects with a robust and diverse community.

it's funny because even Elon's ego is a threat to capitalist interests, look how much he's tanked their company value! Honestly I'm cheering for his self-destructive downward spiral to continue - twtter was always a cesspool, decent people should have left years ago.

I mean, that's a CIA tactic too, at least if we learn anything from history

What, no votes for 'goatse'?

I'll uh show myself to the logout button now
