IBM sure does suck donkey balls but I really don’t think that particular thing is their fault.
Spent years on reddit after Google+ closed, my hopes are now with the Threadiverse
I’m interested in (among many, many other things):
TTRPGs, board games, longboarding, SUP / paddleboarding, and mechanical keyboards.
Yes, I realize that’s a lot of “boards” in that list. :)

Yep, that counts. And honestly, it counts for a lot more to me than speculative art trading and hoarding.
Realistically? I think it very much is. If you can’t make money with art either by producing or buying/selling/owning it then pretty much no one cares.
When is the last time you genuinely saw someone care about a work of art breaking new ground, or for it delving into truly novel understanding, or due to it invoking feelings in the recipient?
Like the outrage ober the self-shredding Banksy? Oh noes, so much value destroyed how could he!!1
If we picked all of the asshole tyrant heads of state (add billionaire techbros while we’re at it) it would look like Battle Royal back when WWF was still a thing with twenty freaks in the ring at the same time. And for every punch that lands you could cheer because it never hits anyone who didn’t deserve it.
If the tyrant Erdogan (same thing for Orban and those other autocrat dickbags) is unhappy that’s a sign that at least something is going in the right direction.
This kind of headline makes me sick: “Work of art worth X currency” - because of course it’s only the financial speculative aspect that makes art valuable and no one cares about anything else. Disgusting.
From “don’t be evil” to “you know, what’s so bad about being evil anyway?”
Putin chambers
Smoking is such as disgusting habit and I could never imagine having a smoker as my partner.
So sad seeing more and more young people smoking around here rather than less as should be expected.
I think Hitler and Putin really would have gotten along splendidly. No surprise there.
Yeah that’s really cool for all those Linux phones out there. Oh wait, there are like two and a half models in total and none of them are great? Damn.
Avi Loeb is a pathetic crackpot hack who is abusing his prestigious academia position to flood journals with worthless papers. He really needs to be ignored by society at large because he has no clue what he is talking about.

“Temporarily suspended” is not the same as “dismissed with extreme prejudice never to hold office ever again”. The latter is what’s called for and what these women deserve to see.
I really tried hard to persevere - but I’m weak and it was too much.
It’s very funny for sure and I was just about to share it with the other SWEs in our off-topic chat. But I just can’t listen to it, had to close the tab after like 50 seconds. Perhaps on mute and with CC?

Yeah, there are extensions that enable injecting custom CSS. I’m using Stylus in Chrome (switched to that from Stylish about two years ago) and essentially you need to override the native CSS with lots of !important style declarations. Basically like Inspect Element but will load every time once the relevant website(s) is done loading.
If the HTML classes and ids are straightforwards that’s fairly easy, like old.reddit for instance. But every time they change the classes you need to go in a manually tweak it. And once a site starts obfuscating their code it’s not worth the effort anymore.
But it’s possible and for a while I honed my meager CSS skills by doing my own bespoke stylesheets. :)
Cheap meat needs to not be a choice, period. It’s a purely modern aberration.
