Which one?!

They were so close on the acronym: "Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers" should be "Detecting Ominous Location Trackers" (DOLT). ("Obnoxious" also works but unfairly downplays the stalking/domestic-violence angle.)

Crackitalism is a serious drug Jimmy, it’s deadly serious.

Economists: “WONTFIX: Working as designed.”

The hero we didn’t deserve.

Protec, not attak.

Now, they could still rename it FireWolfHound, which would be a rebranding I would be on board with.

I wish I had a decent explanation. But instead, I have Windows 11’s shiny new Taskbar configuration menu that politely warns me that showing seconds on the clock takes more power. Right under the “Show Copilot” button.

These fucks are fucked.

Oh cool, somebody signed up, they have more supporters today.

That is (was) DMOZ: the Mozilla Directory of websites, now curlie.org, after AOL shut it down in 2017.

They have a Patreon if you want to help them maintain it.

Lunatics, all of you. The correct answer is:

• Science: Blue
• English: Green
• Math: Yellow

They’re also the thing that’s going to kill you.

But what if I wanted to communicate with humans instead of propaganda-bots? Then yes, that Internet is dead, and there's no real fucking reason to be on most of those sites.

The word you’re looking for is “Plutocracy,” and it has a long history: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutocracy

It’s the carcinisation of programming languages. Everything evolves into JavaScript.

Though let’s be real, even JavaScript evolves into Lisp.

Is it really a solution, though, or is it just GIGO?

For example, GPT-4 is about as biased as the medical literature it was trained on, not less biased than its training input, and thereby more inaccurate than humans:

Gemini webrings are the future?

You’re two years late.

Maybe not for the reputable ones, that’s 2026, but these sheisters have been digging out the bottom of the swimming pool for years.
