what are you folks doing for/with bookmarking? I've killed my usage of pinboard because I learned the dude's going off the deep end

already found a couple of the link* flavoured open source things, but looking for some practical/lived feedback

haven't really had the headspace to dig into this but one of my hypotheticals about how this could come to pass is "not enough counter-friction left". foundations of the guess are: years of ill-advised products, constant killing of worthwhile projects, creep of bayfucker mentality. that shape of thing

I recall seeing people ringing alarm bells about moz ceo pay like 3~4y ago

not that the above guess eliminates the thing you're pointing to, mind you. I agree that this drive has to be coming from somewhere. my stuff was more coming at it from the "why has this suddenly accelerated so much" angle

that's a hell of a lot of words for "is a giant pile of mistakes"

well it appears like you’re posting english, but actually you’re posting nonsense

so the answer to your question is no

the sum total of luxury ZA coiners’ mettle was measured, and it was found to be extremely lukewarm

that’s about 60k usd raw. PPI-equiv would be a bit higher (we have really cheap goods compared to US/UK), but I laugh at this number

ah yes, thanks for that extremely valuable driveby input that you gave after someone most definitely was speaking directly to you

oh, wait. hang on. sorry, I just checked my notes here. it's the other thing, the opposite one.

the other thing about this that's often come to mind for me is that the "who" picked in such things tends to be telling of the speaker, and of their perception of "impenetrable"

relatedly, a somewhat common phrase around this side of the world is/was "it's greek to me". I don't know the history of why it came into public lexicon around here (whether it was imported or grew locally), but been curious.

which leads to my sidebar and sneer: it'd be nice if it were easier to research things like this, and good god the modern internet makes it hard to do that. holy fuck what a tsunami of dogshit. and then fucking LLMs and openai come around, going "HOLD MY BEER". le sigh.

who doesn't like a good old wordless driveby post making no statement of intent and giving no direction

I swear, some days I feel like some of these people mumble "hail eris" as they wander past

sorry, the reality is worse
