I don’t remember hearing about unicorns. Rainbows have meant so many things over the years that I get dizzy thinking about it. :)

I'm surprised Intel hasn't gotten into the planned obsolescence game yet

Judging from this post, they just figured it out.

Eight year old article? And paywalled

Imagine being afraid of colors or a mythological animal.

I've never been especially interested in normies, but you may be right. All the communities that I care about are in the fediverse. Any entity that still relies solely on Xitter is a lost cause as far as I'm concerned.

I haven't been on FB itself in close to a decade. I understand that it's still somewhat usable for neighborhoods and for keeping up with family, but I don't have firsthand knowledge. Even before I left, getting through the algorithm to see a feed of real people was almost impossible. That's certainly the case on Instagram, which I do still visit a few times a year.

It may depend on your state. In any event, I wouldn’t take the funeral home’s word for it. Ask a competent lawyer.

Spectrum have the monopoly on internet service in my town. I won’t be engaging with them for anything else.

These are the people my mom would’ve called “Jesus Freaks.” They can believe whatever they want, but they don’t get to try and force it on the rest of us. Kick them back under their rock and move on.

With Reddit and Xitter now imploded into irrelevance, what’s left? Just FB and its subsidiaries?

Public Enemy #1?

 

One takeaway from this TED Talk is that Title IX, rather than balancing the playing field for women, tilted it against men. Are there any clear solutions?

 

Gabe, please remove this if it doesn't belong here.

The instance of my Mastodon account has chosen to federate with Facebook. This wigs me out, so I'm looking to migrate. Do y'all have any suggestions?

 

Have they given up already? I haven’t seen the popup in a couple of days (touch wood). For a few weeks, it showed up every time I used a logged in account and made the service unusable.

Maybe I’ve just stopped trying to watch monetized videos.
