I prefer to believe that the hacked knit their own hooded sweater, and maybe they were thinking of adding a nice cable & then decided that it was over the top.

Must we? Can we POSSIBLY stop using the black-clad, hoodie-wearing bad guy for every “hacker”? Not to mention the bullshit AI-generated slop. Do you think the hacker’s mum knitted him this hoodie? A lot of the writing is fine. But the visuals are the epitome […]

@darkuncle It's not enough to monetize the people alive today. It's important to monetize people who are not even born yet.

Wanna see an obnoxious #darkpattern? This pisses me off.

When I go to my online pharmacy to refill a medicine, I see the medicine, doasage, refills, etc. and an opportunity to pay $31 using the "discount program." If I want to, I can click a button to "Get […]

@whitequark cursed but some Chinese manufacturers use speaker terminals (the press and insert type) for this. I've even seen them used for 120V mains. :blobfoxscared:

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.

this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.

If you’re a #baldursgate3 fan, this is a kind of a fun superbowl Karlach. Kicks a Larroakan field goal for 3 points, winning the #game. 😜

I am from Seattle.

I live in Maine.

I am at a bar that by definition is All-In For the Patriots.

Someone just saw my blue & green hair extensions & *recoiled.*

“Cat what the fuck are you doing?”

And Reader, I got to say it. In the right context.

BITCH I AM FROM SEATTLE! #dragrace #superbowl

It’s about 17°F / -7°C and it’s been below freezing all weekend. Thanks to my wood stove, the orange bars are the only time this weekend that the heat ran.
