Who’s Behind All the ‘Pussy in Bio’ on X? (nymag.com)

Spam is hard. No real platform has solved it completely, and none ever will. Spammers evolve, platforms catch up, spammers evolve again, and so on until the last post is posted and the last user signs out. Individual spam tactics, however, do tend to have short lives, and while PIB won’t be with us forever, it’s notable that...

He’s a sociopath, you can’t trust two consecutive words he says and even a single word is a gamble.

They’re weirdly good with just a little sip of mountain dew at the same time. Just a little bit though, like barely enough to soak in to the cracker.

Here’s a brief history:

First was dot matrix, and it was good. Then it wasn’t. Then was laser or inkjet with laser being too expensive so on many desks at home Canon became canon (Apple StyleWriter was a rebranded Canon), and it was good. Some cartridges were even interoperable. Then HP made some and that stopped. Then it was also expensive and HP became (more) evil and basically never stopped and is now the 800 pound gorilla.

His bond was cut by like two thirds.

When can we enough is enough and just keep these floaters out of the gene pool?

So edgy.

You took your shot and it was a complete failure, just like your parents did.

Finally, a fragrance good enough to open the Bad Mother Fucker wallet for.

Capybara, for those who suddenly can’t remember the real name after seeing the meme.

If it comes with golden parachutes it’s all but guaranteed he doesn’t care.

We’ve all been playing Mario Kart with our minds already, using our mind to manipulate those fleshy sticks attached to our shoulders. It’s fuckin amazing.

The only usefulness this has is to help someone who can’t do that. And the fact that it’s attached to Elon and that all previous test subjects died and that it’s still been put in a human is pretty dystopian.

I can’t tell if you know Musk wants everyone to buy his dangerous deadly crap.

And blocked. Have a nice day.

At this point regardless of the quality of your ass it would be a vast improvement.

Or just possibly it hasn’t got anything to do with Jewish people. This might come as a shock but not everything does.

This is from someone with a reasonable amount of that heritage telling you to shut the hell up already. You’re not the main character.

Vulnerable. Sure.

I blocked you though so how am I even seeing your silly reply?

Henry Ford had a portrait of Hitler on the wall by his desk, doesn’t mean I’m not going to drive cars.

The Reddits (6 minute read) (www.ycombinator.com)

Reddit was one of the reasons Y Combinator was started. This post tells the story of how the site came to be. Despite being rejected in the first round for their food delivery app idea, Reddit’s founders were offered funding after agreeing to work on a project that would eventually become Reddit. The project was launched on a...

Reddit is now a fundamentally useful tool that seems almost unkillable.

Steve Huffman: Hold my beer.

db2 ,

I’m sure that’s some kind of logical fallacy… argumentum ad populum? I don’t know.

But yeah I’m sure some people stuck around. They’re outnumbered by bots and other fake accounts now though. The only thing reddit has today that’s worth a shit is what it had before which is why Pinhead Steve sold the data… which is getting reddit investigated by the government now too.

Well over a decade there and I left. Everything I had put in to it was overwritten and then deleted before that, all you’ll find now is a few days worth of calling MicroSteve out.

db2 ,

Trust but verify. It was a text file, it doesn’t get much easier to do the second step of that.

db2 ,

A theme that deleted anything would have been enough of a red flag.

I think he’s the real reason the punchablefaces subreddit got neutered, because he’s sure got one.

They’re all faked for the IPO grift.

I left and took my data with me. 🤷

db2 ,

but he’s being paid less than $2 million over 2023-2024

Read that again. Someone making federal minimum wage would have to work 8 hours a day 5 days a week with no sick days and still wouldn’t make that much in like 130 years, which is well beyond even a generous human lifespan let alone the usable years of a lifespan.

That federal minimum wage is grossly below what is needed just to survive is a different argument, except that it’s people like Steve that are responsible for the disparity between income and subsistence level.

db2 ,

That’s the problem though, you’re comparing two ridiculous numbers for one person to make in a year and trying to convince us that one is less bad for some reason. Their both psychotic. And yes, you are in fact defending it as evidenced by you replying to defend it. Come on, man.

I’d bet you were subscribed to more than a couple toxic subs then because that didn’t happen to me at all.

Go fuck yourself, Mark.

I have that television… it’s accurate.

It's Not Safe to Click Links on X (lifehacker.com)

As noted by security researcher Will Dormann, some posts on X purport to lead to a legitimate website, but actually redirect somewhere else. In Dormann’s example, an advertisement posted by a verified X user claims to lead to forbes.com. When Dormann clicks the link, however, it takes him to a different link to open a Telegram...

Seconded. I’ve been using it for years because it just works, but if I want to try to break shit do things myself I can.

Wireless wifi is not working after chroot rescue on Arch Linux.

So basically I stupidly tried to update while my thinkpad had low battery and it powered off halfway through the update. The system wouldn’t boot because it was complaining that vm-linuz/linux was not found so I performed a chroot-rescue and got it to boot again. I must have messed something up during the process because now...

I’d reinstall the kernel via Ethernet. 🤷

I didn’t think I want to eat Samsung Food though.

Some people say so. The real issues are 1, people who don’t care if the other person consents (actual rape) and 2, people, mainly young women, who regret it the next day and think they can revoke consent after the fact (not rape)… and the biggest issue with those is figuring out which one actually happened since both are unfortunately a thing. If they don’t do enough for column 1 that’s bad, but when they go too far for column 2 that’s also bad… it’s a mess.
